Fantasy basketball picks and betting tips for Saturday's NBA slate - ESPN

Saturday's seven-game slate is highlighted by the Memphis Grizzlies (15-8) visiting the Boston Celtics (19-4).

As we looking to find the top fantasy streamers and best bets for Saturday, two point guards stand out including one spectacular rookie that has shined when given increased opportunity. Luka Doncic appears to be returning to form for the Dallas Mavericks, but can he keep his production going on Saturday? Here's everything you need to know ahead of a busy Saturday slate in the NBA.

Carlton Carrington, Washington Wizards, PG/SG (5.1% rostered in ESPN leagues)

Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) has already been ruled out and Carrington is expected to start at point guard. He had some big games in the early part of the season before giving way to Brogdon and he's literally the only player available to run point guard for the Wizards. I love his matchup against Jamal Murray and the Nuggets and Carrington has averaged 5.3 assists in his 12 starts this season

Vasilije Micic, Charlotte Hornets, PG/SG (3.6% rostered)

Micic is not going to get you many steals, blocks or threes, but he had 12 assists on Thursday, five assists last Saturday and eight assists last Friday, all without LaMelo Ball in action. Ball isn't expected to play Saturday and Micic seems to have figured it out. And I'm not scared by Cleveland's defense, nor the absence of Miles Bridges (knee).

Royce O'Neale, Phoenix Suns, SF (9.2% rostered)

Kevin Durant is out, meaning that both O'Neale and Grayson Allen should benefit. It's been a complete tossup as to which player is more valuable over the last week, so take whichever one is available in your league, and if they're both sitting there, go with O'Neale. I think he's going to double-double on Saturday.
