It’s hard to imagine a more entertaining week of regular-season basketball than this past one. The Jimmy Butler saga has taken yet another turn, fueling everyone’s deadline drama needs. We saw Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic go toe to toe twice, Trae Young‘s absurd buzzer-beater and a historic Thunder, Cavs contest.
2025 is off to an exciting start. Let’s dive into Week 11 of Trade Advice.

Fantasy Basketball Trade Advice (Week 11)

It took some time, but last summer’s second-overall pick is starting to figure things out. Sarr’s averages over his last 10 are 13.9 points, seven rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 stocks (steals plus blocks) on 43.6% from the field and 40.8% (!) from three.
Sarr’s two-point game on Tuesday marked the end of a 13-game double-digit scoring streak. His longest streak prior was just three games.
Thankfully, Jonas Valanciunas still remains a bench player while Sarr starts. The rookie should only continue to trend upward.

Trade Away
Trayce Jackson-Davis (GSW – PF, C)
Jackson-Davis hasn’t improved much since his rookie season despite starting in 28 of Golden State’s 36 games thus far. He’s averaging 8.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.4 stocks on the year. The rumor mill suggests that Warriors brass may be looking for an upgrade.
The Warriors’ trio of big men – Jackson-Davis, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney – all struggle to create their own shots, so it makes sense as to why GM Mike Dunleavy could be scouring the market.
Jackson-Davis will not be the primary starter if someone like Nikola Vucevic enters the picture.

Hart is one of the most reliable non-All Stars in fantasy at the moment. Between his incredible versatility and 37.7 minutes per game, Hart is a clear buy.
The Villanova product is one of just seven players currently averaging at least 14 points, nine rebounds and five assists per game. Among those are Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic. While Hart lacks the scoring upside that the former MVPs possess, he’s of a much lower profile making him easier to acquire.

Trade Away
Cameron Johnson (BKN – SF, PF)
The amount of trade suitors for Johnson seems too great for him to stay put in Brooklyn. Johnson may be moved well before the deadline per the precedent that the Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith trades set.
The former Sun is averaging 19.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, three assists and 12.8 FGA on 49.6/43.6/89.5 shooting splits on the season. Realistic landing spots for Johnson include Oklahoma City, Memphis and Golden State.
While his efficiency may remain on those squads, it’s highly unlikely that the volume does too.
