Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, the last SuperSonics, reunite in Houston.

Houston Chronicle

Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, the last SuperSonics, reunite in Houston.

Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, DMV roots from a closish 20-mile gap in Maryland, started as lottery kids in Seattle and now finish their careers as Rockets teammates. Durant remains a top-tier scorer in Year 19, while Green provides veteran steadiness and versatility as Houston leans on a young core. Their shared arc—from a rough, relocation-tainted rookie season to a potential late-career crown—frames a narrative of growth, mentorship, and durable excellence that fantasy players should track this season.

With Durant and Green reuniting in Houston, what does the duo’s dynamic imply for Houston’s fantasy ceiling this season?Which Rockets players project to benefit most from Durant’s and Green’s presence on the floor?What are the most likely late-season playoff implications for Houston if KD/Green stay healthy?How does KD’s Year 19 trend compare to past elder-statesman trajectories in fantasy leagues?

Cam Johnson on his first home game at Ball Arena with Nuggets

Cam Johnson’s swap to Denver for Michael Porter Jr. reshapes the Nuggets’ wing depth. In his first Ball Arena appearance as a Nugget, he posted 11 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals in 21 minutes in a preseason win over the Bulls, signaling off-ball gravity and spacing with Jokic and Gordon. He’s still finding a ball-handling role and adjusting to altitude, but the fit looks smoother as Denver moves toward a 3-1 preseason mark and eyes a smoother late-season flow.

Russell Westbrook Lands With the Kings for 18th NBA Season

Russell Westbrook signs with the Sacramento Kings for the 2025-26 season, his 18th NBA campaign and seventh team. He arrived after a 13.1/6.1/4.9 line in 27 minutes with Denver, mostly off the bench, and rejected the Nuggets’ option to explore free agency. Sacramento, pegged by SI as a top landing spot, seeks a veteran playmaker to spark the bench and late-game offense as they chase a playoff return, opening against Phoenix on Oct. 22.

How should fantasy managers price Westbrook in standard, 9-cat, or points leagues given his role with the Kings this season?Which matchup and pace scenarios maximize Westbrook's fantasy upside in Sacramento early this season?What is the impact of Westbrook on De'Aaron Fox's usage and fantasy output in Kings games?If you had to draft one Kings player to pair with Westbrook for upside in DFS, who would it be and why?

Russell Westbrook reportedly agrees to one-year contract to join Sacramento Kings - NBC Sports

NBC Sports

Russell Westbrook is poised to sign a one-year veteran minimum with the Sacramento Kings, bringing relentless energy and playmaking off the bench. At 37, he’s no longer an efficient scorer or elite defender, but his motor can tilt games and spark a volatile bench unit behind Dennis Schroder. The move fits a retooling Kings roster as they balance depth with a guard-heavy rotation that includes Malik Monk and Doug McDermott, amid conversations about shakeups after last season’s De’Aaron Fox trade.

What is Westbrook's likely impact on the Kings' bench unit and late-game decision-making?Which players benefit most from Westbrook's distribution coming off the bench?How might this deal influence the Kings' playoff ceiling this season?What risks come with a one-year veteran minimum for a player like Westbrook?

Russell Westbrook signs with the Sacramento Kings on a veteran minimum, anchoring a guard rotation that already includes Dennis Schröder while Sacramento continues to tinker its lineups after last season's Fox trade. Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 6.1 assists and 4.9 rebounds for Denver last season and remains a high-usage playmaker. The Kings added depth behind a crowded backcourt that features Monk, Ellis and a handful of youngsters as they prepare for the Oct. 22 opener against Phoenix.

What is the fantasy impact of Westbrook's Kings signing given the guard rotation?Will Fox's trade to the Spurs alter Kings' guard planning long-term?How should fantasy players approach Monk and Schröder in this new guard landscape?What rookie or youngster in the Kings could break out behind this veteran guard group?
