Jaden Ivey returns to full health for Detroit after a left fibula fracture, joining a Pistons squad that blossomed last season with Cade Cunningham and the addition of Caris LeVert.

Ivey's 17.6 ppg, 4.1 rpg and 4.0 apg, plus a career-best 40.9% from three and 49.0% on twos, hint at a big fantasy lift if health holds and usage rises.

LeVert brings veteran scoring and playmaking to ease Ivey's ramp, while Cunningham remains the focal point. The guard group could push Detroit toward winning basketball and stronger fantasy upside.

Malik Beasley cleared in federal gambling probes, opening a path to sign with a new NBA team for 2025-26. The Pistons, who pursued a three-year, $42 million extension, shuffled in Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson as apparent replacements, leaving Beasley to shop for a deal elsewhere. With cap space constraints and Beasley’s recent off-court noise, Detroit may still offer a smaller, non-Bird rights pact around $7–7.5M annually, but his market has expanded beyond Detroit.

Several destinations loom as plausible fits: cap-space teams like Brooklyn could offer the full scale Beasley sought, while Indiana, Chicago, Charlotte and Washington might chase him with mid-level budgets and an eye on later trades. Others, including Sacramento and Golden State, are potential sign-and-places or keep-them-on-the-radar options. Even Miami’s remaining mid-level could be tapped, though roster fit and ball-handling roles will shape value. Beasley’s shooting ability remains the draw; how it translates depends on touches, role certainty, and off-court stability.

Fantasy takeaway: Beasley’s value hinges on minutes, shot volume, and lineup context. If he lands on a team that can consistently create spacing and provide a steady role, he can return to a high-velocity scoring profile. In tighter rotations or uncertain roles, LeVert, Robinson, or other wings could cap his ceiling. Keep a close eye on summer moves and training camp depth charts to map his upside for fantasy drafts.
