Six restricted free agents remain in the NBA market for 2025-26, creating fresh fantasy hooks. Josh Giddey’s Bulls scenario preserves his counting-category appeal with the QO in play, delaying his next big move. Tristen Newton and Kevin McCullar Jr. sit on two-way tracks, offering sneaky upside if roster spots open. Quenton Jackson and Quentin Grimes carry rebound potential and versatility on modest deals, while Jonathan Kuminga’s Warriors future hinges on a multi-year offer and a possible return to a high-upside role.

For fantasy managers, the landscape shifts around minutes, usage, and contract leverage. Giddey’s ceiling could rise if he lands a secure long-term path; Kuminga’s path hinges on the right structure; Grimes and Jackson could deliver value as secondary creators or late-round stashes if their roles expand. Newton and McCullar Jr. remain bets on opportunity rather than guaranteed minutes, keeping dynasty decisions fluid.
