  • DET Shooting Guard #31

    Evan Fournier (right knee soreness) will play against the 76ers on Tuesday.
    After missing their last game, Fournier will be back in the lineup against Philly. Jared Rhoden and Jaylen Nowell may lose out on a few minutes, but with 14 games being played on Tuesday, this won’t impact fantasy basketball.
  • LAL Center #11

    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Jaxson Hayes and the Lakers have agreed to a one-year deal.
    Hayes appeared in 56 games for the Lakers last season, making 35 starts. However, his role will be different in 2025-26, as Deandre Ayton has agreed to a two-year deal and will be the starting center. Hayes finished last season with averages of 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks on 19.5 minutes per game. He did not provide consistent fantasy value as a starter, which should remain the case now that Hayes will be coming off the bench.
    Nuggets make 'mind-blowing' moves in free agency
    Trysta Krick and Drew Dinsick run through their winners and losers from NBA free agency after the "dust settled" on an early storm of deals and transactions across the league.
  • PHX Shooting Guard #3
    Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports the Suns are discussing a potential buyout for Bradley Beal.
    Beal’s time in Phoenix has not been what anyone hoped it would be, due to the combination of injuries and underwhelming production. He’s been the focus of trade rumors in the past, but as one of two players in the league with a no-trade clause (LeBron James is the other), Beal has been incredibly difficult to move. Regarding a buyout, there are multiple issues at play. Accepting the deal would include Beal losing his no-trade clause, but he would be an unrestricted free agent once he clears waivers. The more significant issue is that Phoenix has already waived and stretched Nassir Little and E.J. Liddell, so they will need Beal to leave some money on the table. Per league rules, the amount of salary stretched cannot exceed 15 percent of the salary cap.
  • NOP Shooting Guard #23
    HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Pelicans have signed Trey Alexander to a two-way contract.
    While Alexander put up gaudy numbers for the Nuggets’ G League affiliate last season, that did not prevent the team from parting ways with him in late June. He’s found a new home with the Pelicans, where he’ll aim to earn opportunities with the “big club” while plying his trade for the Birmingham Squadron. Unless New Orleans is again decimated by injuries, Alexander will not impact fantasy basketball in 2025-26.
  • FA Shooting Guard #12
    HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Pelicans have waived Antonio Reeves.
    Reeves, the 47th overall pick in the 2024 draft, appeared in 44 games for the Pelicans. He was most productive when New Orleans was down multiple rotation players due to injury. Over the team’s final 12 games, Reeves averaged 14.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes, shooting 49.6 percent from the field and 77.3 percent from the foul line. Reeves’ exit from New Orleans will not impact fantasy basketball, but his finish to the 2024-25 season should get him a look in summer league from another team.
  • DEN Center #17
    BasketNews reports Jonas Valančiūnas is considering a return to Europe to play for Panathinaikos.
    Reportedly acquired from the Kings in exchange for Dario Šarić, it’s reportedly possible that Valančiūnas will not suit up for the Nuggets in 2025-26. According to BasketNews, Greek power Panathinaikos has offered the veteran center a three-year, €12 million contract. Should he remain in the NBA, Valančiūnas will make nearly $10.4 million with the Nuggets, but the final year of his deal (2026-27) is not guaranteed. The Nuggets appeared to have shored up their backup center position with the Valančiūnas trade, but they’ll be forced to return to the drawing board if he decides to return to Europe to continue his career.
  • HOU Center #2
    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Jock Landale is being waived by the Rockets.
    Landale’s contract included a guarantee date of July 7. The 29-year-old center had no place on the Rockets roster any longer with the team re-signing Steven Adams and bringing in Clint Capela. Landale is expected to sign with his preferred destination, according to Charania, though it’s unclear where he’s headed to just yet.
  • DEN Coaching Staff #10
    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Jared Dudley is finalizing a deal to become the top assistant coach for the Nuggets.
    The Nuggets fired Mike Malone with only a few games left in the regular season last year. David Adelman took over and was made the permanent head coach after the season. Now Dudley will join him as the lead assistant coach with the Nuggets. The 39-year-old Dudley has been an assistant coach with the Mavericks since he retired from the NBA in 2021. Dudley played for 14 seasons.
  • FA Small Forward #7
    Spotrac’s Keith Smith reports the Bucks waived Chris Livingston.
    Livingston, the 58th overall pick in the 2023 draft, could not carve out a role for himself in Milwaukee. He appeared in 21 games in both seasons, most recently averaging 1.4 points and 1.7 rebounds per game in 2024-25. Livingston’s contract for the 2025-26 season would have been guaranteed if he remained on the Bucks roster come July 15.
  • LAL Center #2
    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Deandre Ayton has agreed to a two-year deal with the Lakers.
    Unsurprisingly, Ayton has decided to join the Lakers after agreeing with the Trail Blazers on a contract buyout. Los Angeles had a clear need at the center position, and they’ll look to the first overall pick in the 2018 draft to fill it. While he has averaged a double-double in his first seven seasons, Ayton’s last two years in Portland were underwhelming. Limited to 40 games last year due to injury, he averaged 14.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointer in 30.2 minutes. Ayton is not the uber-athletic center who tends to flourish playing alongside Luka Doncic, but he’ll play starter’s minutes for a hopeful contender. Being in a lineup with Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves will limit Ayton’s fantasy ceiling, but providing top-100 per-game value should not be an issue.
  • DAL Shooting Guard #0
    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Mavericks and Dante Exum have agreed to a one-year deal.
    Despite signing D’Angelo Russell, the Mavericks clearly needed more ball-handlers. Kyrie Irving (ACL) is set to miss a significant portion of the 2025-26 season, and Spencer Dinwiddie has signed with the Hornets. For this reason, according to Charania’s report, they’ll hold onto Exum for another season. Injuries limited him to 20 games last season, with the former lottery pick averaging 8.7 points, 2.8 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 18.6 minutes. Since returning to the NBA during the 2023-24 season, Exum has improved significantly as a shooter. The ability to handle the ball and defend multiple positions will help Dallas account for Irving’s absence, but Exum is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball dramatically.
