Davis anchors the Mavericks as a 93 overall, No. 12, with heavy usage expected as Irving recovers. His durability remains the wild card, but the role is clear: primary scorer and facilitator around the post-up game, with elite fantasy floor.

AD is No. 8 with massive per-game upside but chronic health concerns. The host cautions that while AD can anchor a top-4 per-game finish when healthy, past durability issues complicate early-round selection. The discussion weighs the balance of elite upside against the probability of missed time and the need for roster insurance.

Davis anchors the Mavericks with a two-way presence, providing defense, rebounding, and playmaking. His veteran presence guides Flagg through rookie adjustments, while retina surgery is a backdrop to a high-stakes season where durability and leadership become crucial for the team’s defensive identity and postseason bid.

Davis’ move to Dallas pairs him with Doncic, creating a big-man foil who can anchor blocks and boards while spacing the floor. His health is pivotal; when right, he can drive top-tier fantasy outputs, especially in rebounding and defensive stats, with potential shifts in usage in Dallas’ system.

Davis steps into Dallas’ primary role as Irving’s injury forces him to shoulder much of the scoring and creation. He brings elite two-way impact, enabling the Mavericks to emphasize defense while he anchors the offense. Flagg’s arrival should help balance the load, and a top-four seed would significantly boost his MVP case by showcasing a star carrying a contending team through adversity.
