25/26 Preseason Previews - Portland Trail Blazers

Biggest Mover: A couple movers this season, but Donovan Clingan stands out as the biggest riser. Clingan is now the clear starter at C. He brings elite BLK, REB, FG%, and even decent 3s (hopefully). A top 100 finish seems likely.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Phoenix Suns

Biggest Mover: Devin Booker can take a big jump this season as he returns to being the focal point of the Suns roster. The team is toothless offensively should he not initiate offense, and we could see an increase in PTS, AST, and USG.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Philadelphia 76ers

Biggest Mover: Provided the team is healthy, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Quentin Grimes both take big hits. There is a lot of competition to start at wing, and the return of Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid steals the USG needed to be relevant.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Orlando Magic

Biggest Mover: Tyus Jones will likely go back to irrelevancy with his projected move back to the second string. He has viability as a solid AST streamer, but his USG and mins will not be high enough to guarantee him a spot without injury.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Oklahoma City Thunder

Biggest Mover: Given that the OKC roster is basically unchanged, there are very few movers. Nikola Topic stands out as a player likely to receive his first NBA mins this season, and can be worthwhile as a stash in dynasty leagues.

25/26 Preseason Previews - New York Knicks

Biggest Mover: Josh Hart has been experimented with as a bench option for the team. With the projected minutes hit due to Thibs leaving, Hart is deeply unlikely to replicate his career best top 30 finish last season by a fair margin.

25/26 Preseason Previews - New Orleans Pelicans

Biggest Mover: Jordan Poole does stand to benefit a small bit from the current roster construction of the Pelicans franchise. He will be inheriting most of the lead guard duties until Dejounte Murray returns in a few months.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Minnesota Timberwolves

Biggest Mover: Jaden McDaniels has cemented himself as a fantasy viable option for the first time last season, and looks to continue that trend. The Wolves have also lost Nickeil Alexander-Walker as a wing without replacement.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Milwaukee Bucks

Biggest Mover: Kevin Porter Jr. is locked in as the starting point guard, and becomes a solid option for those in points leagues (less so in cats). KPJ will be able to bring a good number of counting stats at the expense of percentages.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Miami Heat

Biggest Mover: Norman Powell benefits from a preseason injury to Tyler Herro. Now the top perimeter scoring option, it is possible he can put together a run of form matching what he did to begin last season. Expect good PPG on great %s.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Memphis Grizzlies

Biggest Mover: Santi Aldama is coming hot off of a strong EuroBasket campaign straight into a great situation in Memphis. Aldama is a solid candidate for PTS/REB/3s/FG% and should see increased USG/mins with JJJ and Edey injured.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Los Angeles Lakers

Biggest Mover: Deandre Ayton finds himself in new situation with by two of the best passers in the NBA. While he is unlikely to improve defensively, he can be a double double threat with better efficiency compared to recent seasons.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Los Angeles Clippers

Biggest Moved: Kawhi Leonard takes a massive hit this season as he faces an NBA investigation as to whether he illegally circumvented the salary cap. Combined with his injury history, he is even more of a risk now. Borderline DND.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Indiana Pacers

Biggest Mover: Andrew Nembhard has been thrust into a starting role as the primary ball handler for the team. He is particularly good at anchoring AST/STL at the expense of %s, but still is the biggest benefactor of Haliburton’s injury.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Houston Rockets

Biggest Mover: Like his brother, Amen Thompson is probably taking the biggest jump of those around him. His elite stocks, REB, and FG% make him a valuable asset in certain builds, and he is now being considered as a 2nd rounder by many.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Detroit Pistons

Biggest Mover: Detroit lacks forward depth compared to last season, and Ausar Thompson can likely step into a 28 min role for the first time in his career. A stock hunting machine, he also excels at anchoring FG/REB, much like a center.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Golden State Warriors

Biggest Mover: Al Horford takes a jump this season as a projected starter. He is a high IQ player who should fit into the GSW system, and brings great out of position 3s, FT, and AST combined with a history of top 100 finishes.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Denver Nuggets

Biggest Mover: Cam Johnson, despite being a major add for the team over the summer, will likely face a decline from his BKN numbers. He will produce high level threes and solid scoring, but expect a drop everywhere else (AST, REB, USG).

Biggest Mover: D’Angelo Russell will be the replacement for Kyrie Irving for the first half of the season. He has the ability to score and create for others while securing fantasy value. He finished top 80 the three years before last.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Cleveland Cavaliers

Biggest Mover: Evan Mobley has a shot to become the next AD type PF in the league. Already a defensive menace, the team might start Sam Merrill to fill for Garland, leaving a chance for Mobley to become a primary offensive threat.

25/26 Preseason Previews - Chicago Bulls

Biggest Mover: Matas Buzelis emerges as a breakout option for the Bulls this season. The prospect excels at out of position shot blocking, while being a great offensive pair to high usage guards. Could finish top 80 if things go to plan.

Biggest Mover: Moussa Diabate is back in the mix as a potential starter, bringing with him absolutely elite Reb, Blk, and FG%. A must roster as a starter, he is currently projected at the back of many drafts (ADP 145.6).

25/26 Preseason Previews - Brooklyn Nets

Biggest Mover: Kobe Bufkin could be a spot start at PG with Demin facing injury. Bufkin showed out in SL, averaging 19/5/4 with FT upside while proving he could run an offense. The Nets severely lack playmaking and he fills that niche.

Featured Stat: Payton Pritchard secured his spot as a premier shooting 6th Man, but what can he bring as a starter?

-61.7% EFG (90th percentile)

- 3.2 3PM (14th) on 40.7% (30th)

- 3.2 AST/TO (15th)

- 22/5/7 as a starter last season (3 games)

Hot Take: Jaylen Brown is still a long shot to finish top 30, as his counting likely can’t outweigh his heavy negatives.

-98th per game last year

-Near career low 46% FG

-Below average 76% FT on high volume

-Much better in points leagues, likely avoidable in cats at ADP of 25
