Bismack Biyombo is on a 10-day contract. Sandro Mamukelashvili is another option. San Antonio doesn’t really have any notable backup centers

Wishing the best for Victor Wembanyama. He’s expected to be out for the rest of the season with a blood clot issue.

The Spurs will rely more on Jeremy Sochan, who’s the primary add. Also look to Charles Bassey (note he’s been out since Feb. 5 with a knee injury).

Horrible news for Davis but from a fantasy perspective this means Daniel Gafford isn’t a loser from the trade (yet…)

Fantasy basketball impacts of the Lakers-Hornets Knecht-Williams rescinded trade:

πŸ“ˆJaxson Hayes

πŸ“ˆ Dorian Finney-Smith

πŸ“ˆJarred Vanderbilt

πŸ“ˆ Nick Smith Jr.

πŸ“‰ Jusuf Nurkic

πŸ“‰ Moussa Diabate

πŸ“‰Dalton Knecht

He’s been a surprising beneficiary from the trade. The young guard has been coming off the bench in Dallas but is playing about 32 MPG. The team has been shorthanded which helps Christie’s value. He’s an add

Max Christie had another impressive game for the Mavericks. These are his season stats with the Mavericks (3 games) vs Lakers:

πŸ“‰ Marshall and Washington’s minutes will be affected.

πŸ“ˆ Christie, Dinwiddie and Hardy have a few extra minutes to go around between them in the backcourt. This doesn’t help too much though

↔️ Grimes will continue to have a reserve role. He should have more pockets of value as a streamer as Philadelphia has been injury-riddled.

05.02.2025 03:45 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

πŸ“‰ Martin joins a crowded frontcourt. It’s unclear what his role will be, but this trade doesn’t help his value. He could start at SF but is more likely to come off the bench.

05.02.2025 03:45 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

πŸ” Mavericks receive Caleb Martin. 76ers receive Quentin Grimes.

πŸ“ˆ White, Giddey and Dosunmu's values go up. Dosunmy is an add and could fill LaVine's spot in the starting lineup. All will have bigger roles offensively. Buzelis also benefits a bit.

πŸ“‰ Smith will be competing for backup center minutes with Collins. A Vucevic trade would help this situation. He can still be stashed but his upside looks bleaker.

03.02.2025 02:39 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

↔️ DeRozan and Sabonis won't really see changes to their production. Monk should remain in the starting lineup at PG. He's already been great in assists.

πŸ“ˆ Ellis gets a small bump but he's still coming off the bench.

03.02.2025 02:39 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

πŸ“‰ Paul takes the biggest hit in this trade. He'll move to the bench with Fox starting at PG. Hold for now but he could end up being a drop.

πŸ“‰ Vassell takes a minor hit. Castle should still start at SG but is impacted as well.

03.02.2025 02:39 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

↔️ Huerter's minutes significantly dropped off lately. He could see a small bump in playing time but the Bulls have quite a few guards.

03.02.2025 02:39 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

↔️ Collins' impact was limited as Wembanyama's backup. Now he's backing up Vucevic (for now...) and competing for center minutes with Smith.

↔️ Jones should remain in a reserve role. He won't see more minutes in Chicago with the team's backcourt depth and Ball's minutes restriction also increasing.

03.02.2025 02:39 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

πŸ“‰ LaVine should see a slight dip in production, playing alongside two stars in DeRozan and Sabonis. Offensive numbers will take a slight dip.

↔️ Cissoko's barely played this season and the move doesn't affect fantasy.

03.02.2025 02:39 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

πŸ“ˆ Fox gets a bump in usage and production as the Spurs have less star power than the Kings.

↔️ McLaughlin remains off the fantasy radar.

03.02.2025 02:39 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

πŸ” Spurs receive De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin. Kings receive Zach LaVine and Sidy Cissoko. Bulls receive Zach Collins, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter.
