Fantasy Outlook for Play-In Tournament Losers
The NBA play-in tournament has come to an end, and while some teams have secured their spots in the playoffs, others have been eliminated. But what’s next for the teams that fell short in the play-in tournament? How can they make moves that will impact fantasy basketball next season?
Let’s take a look at some of the teams that missed out on the playoffs and what they can do to improve their fantasy outlook for the upcoming season.
**Atlanta Hawks:**
The Atlanta Hawks failed to make the playoffs despite the efforts of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. One move they could consider is trading one of these star players to shake things up. Clint Capela is another player who could be on the trading block. Keep an eye on Onyeka Okongwu, who could be a fantasy sleeper next season.
**Chicago Bulls:**
The Chicago Bulls offered DeMar DeRozan a lucrative deal, which could impact the team’s future. If DeRozan stays, Zach LaVine might be on the move. Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Alex Caruso could see increased roles depending on how the roster shapes up.
**Golden State Warriors:**
The Warriors need to re-sign Jonathan Kuminga and consider trading Andrew Wiggins to stay under the luxury tax. Klay Thompson’s future with the team is uncertain. Look out for young players like Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis to step up next season.
**Sacramento Kings:**
The Kings have a strong guard-center duo in De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. Keep an eye on Keegan Murray, who could take his game to the next level next season. Keon Ellis is another player to watch, as he could secure a starting role.
These are just a few of the teams that missed out on the playoffs and what they can do to improve their fantasy outlook for the upcoming season. Keep an eye on these moves as the offseason progresses to see how they impact the fantasy landscape.
