  • SAS Power Forward #1
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Victor Wembanyama (right knee contusion) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Warriors.
    Wemby has missed San Antonio’s last three games, and Zach Collins has replaced him in the starting lineup. Collins’ streaming value takes a significant hit with Wembanyama on the court, while Charles Bassey may drop from the rotation entirely.
  • DEN Small Forward #21
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    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.
    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.
  • 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.
  • NOP Center #21
    Yves Missi finished Saturday’s loss to the Lakers with seven points (3-of-6 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds and three blocked shots.
    Missi did not offer much value as a scorer on Saturday, and it was an unsurprising development given his skill set. However, he was once again productive as a rebounder and rim protector. Those are the areas in which Missi will be most valuable, as New Orleans should have enough scorers as long as everyone remains healthy. Under those circumstances, Missi can take on a role similar to that of Mitchell Robinson with the Knicks, which can be a valuable role from a fantasy standpoint.
  • LAL Power Forward #21
    Darius Bazley accounted for 12 points (4-of-6 FGs, 4-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and five blocked shots in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans.
    Bazley has reached double digits in rebounds in both of the Lakers’ games in Las Vegas, and he was especially impactful defensively on Saturday. The 2019 first-round pick blocked five shots and recorded two steals against the Pelicans, which undoubtedly compensated for his poor night at the foul line. Whether it’s with the Lakers or another team, Bazley being valuable as a rebounder and defender is critical to earning another shot in the NBA.
  • LAL Shooting Guard #9
    Bronny James recorded 14 points (5-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), one rebound, three assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans.
    Since arriving in Las Vegas, James’ playing time has increased compared to his minutes during the Lakers’ games at the California Classic. He was solid against the Pelicans, providing value on both ends of the floor. While the chances of him impacting fantasy basketball next season are slim, Bronny’s best path to playing time may be showing that he can be a factor defensively. James recorded two steals and a block after failing to record a steal or blocked shot in Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks. Stats don’t tell the whole story defensively, but being more active in that area will only boost Bronny’s prospects.
  • LAL Center #10
    Christian Koloko massed 13 points (5-of-7 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Pelicans.
    Koloko, who was on a two-way contract last season, is a restricted free agent after the team picked up his two-way qualifying offer. Performances like the one he put forth on Saturday will only help the center’s chances of catching on somewhere, even if it’s another two-way contract. Koloko is not worth targeting in fantasy drafts, even if he were to remain with the Lakers. In addition to bringing in Deandre Ayton, the Lakers re-signed Jaxson Hayes on a one-year deal.
  • LAL Power Forward #12
    Cole Swider finished Saturday’s win over the Pelicans with 21 points (8-of-17 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and four three-pointers.
    Given how well he’s played, Swider would likely be a shutdown candidate if he arrived in Las Vegas on a guaranteed contract. He isn’t, which makes the Lakers forward’s performances more critical. Swider appeared in 10 NBA games last season, making eight appearances for the Raptors. The rebounding is just as important as his shooting ability, with Swider hitting double digits in two straight games. If he can prove consistently valuable in that area to supplement the perimeter shooting, that would improve Swider’s chances of earning, at a minimum, a training camp invitation.
