  • LAL Shooting Guard

    Dalton Knecht finished Monday’s 88-74 loss to the Celtics with 19 points (7-of-21 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block, and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes.
    Since struggling to begin the California Classic, Knecht’s production has picked up. He didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but the first-round pick was by far the Lakers’ most assertive player on the offensive end of the floor. The defensive production was a welcome bonus, and Knecht can provide solid value on the boards. The role he has taken on in summer league is unlikely to align with what the Lakers will need from Knecht once the season begins, but he’s a talented scorer who can give the team solid production off the bench from Day One.
  • POR Center

    Yang Hansen amassed 10 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and one blocked shot.
    After recording a complete 10/4/5/1/3 stat line in his summer debut on Friday, Yang was not as impactful on Saturday. The rookie recorded five turnovers, a reminder that there will be nights like this for the 20-year-old as he gets acclimated to the NBA game. However, Yang’s abilities as a facilitator were still evident, and that’s an area where he can offer value. Portland moving on from Deandre Ayton helped free minutes for Donovan Clingan, who will be the starting center, and Yang. However, Robert Williams III is also on the roster, and his presence may allow Portland to take a more conservative approach to Yang’s playing time next season.
    Bet Bulls over 32.5 wins in 2025-26 season
    Vaughn Dalzell and Trysta Krick analyze the Chicago Bulls' recent win trends, explaining that while the team is still stuck in "no-man's land," Billy Donovan's squad will find a way to remain around .500 next season.
  • POR Point Guard
    Caleb Love shot 7-of-21 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies, scoring 18 points with one rebound, one assist, one block and three three-pointers.
    While Love finished Saturday’s defeat with a solid point total, this was not one of the rookie’s best efforts. He did not provide much value outside of points and three-pointers, and the undrafted rookie was inefficient as a scorer and playmaker. Love is on a two-way deal for the 2025-26 season, and becoming more consistent as a floor general will be critical for the former Arizona standout as he looks to solidify his place in the NBA.
  • POR Small Forward #91
    Sidy Cissoko accumulated 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies.
    Cissoko is on a two-way contract, so his fantasy value for the 2025-26 season is virtually non-existent. However, players on those deals can earn opportunities throughout the season. Cissoko, who was traded twice before the February deadline, played well against the Grizzlies, but he’ll have to do a lot to crack a deep forward rotation in Portland.
  • FA Power Forward #00
    Armando Bacot accounted for 14 points (4-of-9 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks.
    The Grizzlies have used two of their three available two-way contract spots, meaning the competition for the final slot should be fierce. Bacot is among the candidates, and his performance against first-round pick Yang Hansen was solid. The former North Carolina standout recorded a double-double and blocked four shots, with the rim protection not being something he was known for as a collegian or during his 2024-25 season in the G League.
  • MEM Small Forward #0
    Jaylen Wells finished Saturday’s win over the Trail Blazers with 23 points (7-of-16 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
    While Wells was one of the most impressive players in last season’s rookie class, he only had two games in which he scored 23 points or more. With Desmond Bane no longer in the picture in Memphis, Wells is one of the players with more opportunities to contribute offensively. Saturday’s performance was excellent, as the second-year wing’s scoring did not diminish his defensive value. With the Grizzlies having played in Salt Lake City last weekend, it’s fair to wonder if Wells will be shut down soon. Regardless of what happens, he’ll offer solid fantasy upside next season.
  • DEN Small Forward #21
    Spencer Jones accumulated 19 points (8-of-12 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, two steals and three three-pointers.
    Jones is on a two-way contract, and the moves made by the Nuggets this offseason likely limit his opportunities to change that. However, the Nuggets had to be pleased with his performance on Saturday, as Jones shot 66.7 percent from the field and grabbed six rebounds. There’s no need to consider Jones for fantasy leagues, but injuries can present opportunities throughout the season.
  • MIN Point Guard #4
    Rob Dillingham accounted for 15 points (6-of-15 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Nuggets.
    Having finished Thursday’s summer opener with more turnovers than assists, Dillingham cleaned some things up on Saturday. While the assists increased from six to nine, the second-year guard’s turnovers decreased from seven to four. Terrence Shannon Jr. may be the player best equipped to step into the role vacated by Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Still, Dillingham will also have opportunities, especially since Mike Conley is not getting any younger.
  • MIN Shooting Guard #00
    Terrence Shannon Jr. finished Saturday’s win over the Nuggets with 24 points (8-of-19 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and five three-pointers.
    Given how well he’s played in Minnesota’s first two games in Las Vegas, it would be unsurprising if the team decided it has seen enough from Shannon. Likely to take on a larger role next season due to Nickeil Alexander Walker’s departure, the 27th overall pick in the 2024 draft has looked ready for the task thus far. Among Shannon’s highlights on Saturday were five three-pointers and an emphatic fourth-quarter dunk that got a courtside Anthony Edwards out of his seat. While he may not be a must-draft player in standard leagues, Shannon may develop into a player who needs to be rostered in deeper formats.
  • NOP Power Forward
    Derik Queen tallied 12 points (4-of-12 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one blocked shot in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers.
    While Queen did not shoot as well as in his summer debut on Saturday, the rookie forward/center hit double digits in rebounds for the second straight game. Fellow frontcourt starter Yves Missi accomplished the same feat, and the two were responsible for seven of the Pelicans’ 17 offensive rebounds. Queen will not lack opportunities to prove his worth in New Orleans next season, whether at power forward or center. He’s likely to be more valuable in dynasty leagues than redraft leagues.
  • NOP Point Guard
    Jeremiah Fears produced 15 points (5-of-21 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers.
    Fears had a rough day on Saturday, shooting below 25 percent from the field and going 1-of-7 from beyond the arc. However, the rookie’s failure to record an assist may be more concerning for the Pelicans. Efficiency was occasionally an issue for Fears during his lone season at Oklahoma, but he still averaged 4.1 assists per game. The lottery pick has totaled two assists through two games in Las Vegas. Regardless of how many more games he plays this month, Fears has to create better opportunities for his teammates.
