D'Angelo Russell

D'Angelo Russell facilitated the Brooklyn Nets' offense in their Wednesday night victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Russell dished out a game-high 12 assists and added 11 points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 3 rebounds, and 2 steals in 28 minutes of action.

Fantasy Impact

Russell's playmaking was on full display, showcasing his ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates. While his scoring efficiency was lacking, his assist total provided a significant boost for fantasy managers in category leagues. He also chipped in with a few rebounds and steals, further contributing to his fantasy value. Despite a late surge by the Bucks, Russell's performance helped the Nets secure the win and solidify his role as a valuable fantasy asset.

D'Angelo Russell had a strong showing for the Nets in their 130-113 loss to the Raptors, scoring 22 points (9-13 FG, 2-6 3PT) and adding 8 assists, 2 rebounds, and 1 steal in 26 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Russell’s 22-point, 8-assist performance continues his solid play in fantasy. Averaging 21.1 points and 7.4 assists over his last 10 games, he remains a reliable option for managers. While his three-point shooting (2-6) could improve, his all-around production makes him a consistent contributor.

D'Angelo Russell is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Fantasy Impact

The Nets recently acquired Russell in a trade with the Lakers, and it looks like he will be available to make his season debut with the Nets on Wednesday, as he isn't listed on their injury report. He'll be in line for a lot of work with Cam Thomas (hamstring) unavailable to play against Toronto.

D'Angelo Russell has been traded to the Brooklyn Nets along with Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks. The Lakers receive Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton.

Fantasy Impact

Russell returns to Brooklyn after last playing there in 2019. It's unclear exactly how his role with the Nets will look, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him get more consistent minutes than he did with the Lakers. He averaged 12.4 points and 4.7 assists per game in 26.3 minutes per game with this season in LA.

D'Angelo Russell is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Russell is expected to return from a one-game absence. He should be back in his reserve role.
