The NBA stretch run is heating up — and with a massive 10-game slate on Saturday March 28 and more action on Sunday March 29, your fantasy roster decisions this weekend could be the difference between a championship and a first-round exit. Here are the must-add, must-hold, and must-drop candidates to target right now.
🔥 Must-Add: Ace Bailey (Utah Jazz)
The Jazz rookie has quietly become one of the hottest free agents on the waiver wire. Ace Bailey is averaging 25.0 PPG, 6.0 RPG, and 5.3 three-pointers per game across his last three outings — numbers that put him in elite fantasy territory. On Saturday, the Jazz host the Denver Nuggets in a game where Utah is expected to play their young stars heavy minutes. If Bailey is available in your league, drop everything and add him now.
🔥 Must-Add: Brice Sensabaugh (Utah Jazz)
The Jazz are a fantasy gold mine right now. Brice Sensabaugh has started four consecutive games and scored at least 21 points in all four, tallying an eye-popping 25.8 PPG with 4.3 three-pointers per game, 3.3 RPG, and 1.8 stocks. With Utah giving young players full rein this late in the season, Sensabaugh's production is sustainable for the rest of the fantasy playoffs. Pair him with Bailey for double Jazz exposure.
💎 Must-Hold: Maxime Raynaud (Sacramento Kings)
The French rookie center Maxime Raynaud has emerged as a legitimate fantasy starter for the Kings in March, averaging 16.0 PPG and 9.3 RPG while shooting 56.5% from the field. His ability to produce across multiple categories — points, boards, and blocks — makes him a must-hold even in shallow leagues. Raynaud has shown he can exploit size advantages at both ends of the floor, and with Sacramento chasing a playoff seed, he will keep getting starter's minutes.
⚡ Streaming Pick: Bilal Coulibaly (Washington Wizards)
Back from a heel injury, Bilal Coulibaly has averaged 19.2 PPG over his last five games and faces the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. Here's the cherry on top: Steph Curry is OUT with right patellofemoral pain syndrome, which means the Warriors' defensive attention will be scattered. Coulibaly is available in many leagues and offers upside in points, steals, and three-pointers. Fire him up for this weekend's slate.
📉 Streaming Option: Naji Marshall
Naji Marshall has played in 12 straight games, tallying at least 30 fantasy points on six occasions, with four performances of at least 39 fantasy points in his last seven games. He offers a reliable floor of contributions across points, assists, and steals — making him one of the safest streamers available on the waiver wire heading into the final weeks of the fantasy season. Check your league's waiver wire and grab him if he's still available.
PBA Fantasy Corner: Commissioner's Cup Heats Up
On the local front, the 2026 PBA Commissioner's Cup is in full swing with games four times a week. Titan upset San Miguel 119-112 last week, making Beermen players riskier than usual. Meralco continues to impress — their guards have been fantasy-relevant across points and assists. For Filipino fantasy managers balancing both NBA and PBA lineups, prioritize Meralco and TNT Tropang Giga players, who are getting the most consistent minutes in the Commissioner's Cup format. Jordan Clarkson of the Cleveland Cavaliers continues to be worth rostering in NBA fantasy formats as the Cavs push for a top seed in the East.
Final Fantasy Takeaway
This weekend's 10-game NBA slate on March 28 is one of the biggest of the final stretch, and smart managers will exploit the Utah Jazz pipeline (Bailey + Sensabaugh) while streaming Bilal Coulibaly against a shorthanded Warriors squad. Lock in Maxime Raynaud and keep streaming Naji Marshall wherever possible. Whether you play NBA fantasy, PBA fantasy, or both — roster decisions made now will define your playoff run. Good luck, and let's get those W's! Don't forget to check FantasyPlus.ph daily for lineup tools, waiver wire updates, and expert picks tailored for the Filipino basketball community.
