Fantasy Basketball 2026-27: Siakam and six other players set to jump into the Top 100

Rockets waived JD Davison.

Davison signed a standard contract with the Rockets last season after starting the year on a two-way deal. He averaged 7.8 minutes in 28 appearances for the Rockets.
LeBron James

PHI Forward #23

76ers head coach Nick Nurse said during a recent interview that LeBron James will initiate offense for the team next season.

While Tyrese Maxey will continue to take on a prominent playmaking role for the 76ers, LeBron’s arrival gives the team another option to trust in that regard. “He is an offense creator,” Nurse said, according to NBC Sports Philadelphia. “He is certainly a guy that will bring the ball up the floor and try to create for himself and others. He is really good for others.” After averaging at least eight assists each of the prior two seasons, James’ average dipped slightly to 7.2 per game in 2025-26. With the offensive weapons in Philadelphia’s starting lineup, he could experience an increase in that category next season, which should help his fantasy value.
Jalen Pickett

LAC Guard #24

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports that the Clippers signed Jalen Pickett to a two-way contract.

The 32nd overall pick in the 2023 draft, Pickett spent his first three NBA seasons with the Nuggets. In 126 appearances over three seasons, the 6-foot-2 guard averaged 4.0 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 12.7 minutes per game. Given the options at point guard on the Clippers’ roster who currently hold standard contracts, Pickett’s chances of impacting fantasy basketball next season are slim.
Cole Anthony

FA Guard #50

Melbourne United signed Cole Anthony.

The 15th overall pick in the 2020 draft, Anthony spent his first five seasons in Orlando before moving to Milwaukee ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. The 6-foot-2 guard appeared in 35 games for the Bucks before being traded to Phoenix at the February deadline, with the Suns waiving him at the end of the month. Anthony’s move to Australia won’t affect redraft leagues, but dynasty league managers rostering him can afford to move on.
Andre Jackson

TOR Guard #44

Raptors signed Andre Jackson Jr. to an Exhibit 10 contract.

The 36th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Jackson spent his first three NBA seasons in Milwaukee. While there were occasional moments when his athleticism was on display, the former UConn wing could not lock down consistent rotation minutes with the Bucks. In Toronto, he’ll compete for one of the team’s final roster spots when training camp opens in late September.
Mohamed Diawara

NYK Forward #51

Mohamed Diawara (finger) has resumed on-court workouts and is expected to be ready to go when training camp opens in September.

Diawara, who had his moments during the 2025-26 regular season before falling out of the rotation for the team’s title run, injured his left ring finger during Summer League. While he did need to undergo surgery, the wing has already returned to the court and is expected to be fully ready when the Knicks open training camp in late September. There should once again be opportunities for Diawara to contribute during the regular season, but he is not a player to select in redraft leagues.
Trey Jemison

TOR Center #50

NBA insider Chris Haynes reports that the Raptors have signed Trey Jemison to a two-way contract.

Jemison has played for five different NBA teams in his three seasons, most recently spending the 2025-26 campaign with the Knicks on a two-way deal. The 6-foot-11 center appeared in 13 NBA games for the champs, averaging 6.3 minutes per game. While Toronto has experienced success in using its G League affiliate to develop players, Jemison is unlikely to be in a position to impact fantasy basketball next season.
Tyler Nickel

NYK Guard-Forward

CBS Sports’ Isaac Trotter reports that Tyler Nickel is expected to explore his options for a potential return to college.

Selected with the 47th overall pick in June’s draft, Nickel was arguably the Knicks’ best performer at Summer League in Las Vegas. However, a recent lawsuit ruling that now allows players to play five seasons of college basketball may have opened the door for a return to campus. Nickel, who entered his name into the transfer portal in April, is said to be considering the possibility of playing another season of college basketball. According to the Nashville Post, his NIL valuation ranges from $1-1.4 million, likely more money than Nickel would make if he were to agree to a deal with the Knicks. If he does return to college, the Knicks would retain Nickel’s draft rights.
DeMar DeRozan

FA Guard-Forward #10

NBA insider Marc Stein reports that the Trail Blazers are not pursuing free agent DeMar DeRozan.

DeRozan’s time with the Kings ended earlier this summer, and there has been speculation about his next stop. Miami, Denver, Cleveland and Washington have reportedly expressed interest in the veteran wing, and there were also reports that Portland was involved. However, according to Stein, the Trail Blazers have not pursued the possibility of signing DeRozan. Given the team’s surplus of perimeter players, it is unsurprising that Portland would not be in the mix for the 36-year-old.
Russell Westbrook

SAC Guard #18

NBA Insider Jake Fischer reports the Kings are considering re-signing Russell Westbrook and adding Victor Oladipo.

The report indicates the Kings are interested in adding a veteran mentor for Darius Acuff Jr., who they just selected with the 7th overall pick. Westbrook and Oladipo have experienced a lot during their NBA careers, so either would be a good locker room presence for Acuff to have around. However, with Acuff as the priority, neither would likely play enough to make much of an impact in fantasy basketball.
