Russell figures to have a significant backcourt role with the Mavericks early in the season as Kyrie Irving recovers from injury. The 29-year-old point guard is also reunited with his former Lakers teammate Anthony Davis. Russell averaged 12.6 points per game and 5.1 assists per game in 58 games with the Lakers and Nets last season. Considering the lack of competition for usage he walks into in Dallas, Russell has fringe top-100 fantasy value in his range of outcomes.

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.

Kelly spent the first four seasons of his college career at Georgia Tech before transferring to Auburn. Helping lead the Tigers to the Final Four, he averaged 11.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game this past season. Kelly is an athletic guard who shot nearly 38 percent from three as a redshirt senior. He’s likely to spend considerable time in the G League this season.

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.

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.
