2024 Fantasy Outlook
Russell enters his third season as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers since rejoining the squad mid-way through the 2022-23 campaign. He is coming off a strong year in 2023-24, where he averaged at least 18.0 points per game for the fifth time in his nine-season career. He shot considerably well from long range, averaging at least 3.0 made three-pointers per game for just the second time in his career, and he shot a career-best 41.5 percent from deep. Regular season and playoffs combined, Russell hit the 20-point mark 32 times last season, including five games with at least 30 and a season-high 44 points. He did well in his primary role as a distributor, averaging 6.3 assists per game to tie the third-best rate of his career. He logged at least 10 assists on 11 occasions and averaged 17.4 points and just 2.0 turnovers in those outings. Finally, Russell did a good job taking care of the ball, averaging a career-low 2.1 turnovers per game in 2023-24, while also averaging a career-high of 32.7 minutes of playing time. Looking ahead, Russell will enter the season as the starting point guard for the Lakers and will continue to benefit from a great opportunity to thrive alongside the high-level talent of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Signing with Dallas
Russell (ankle) agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Mavericks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Mavericks' most significant need for the 2025-26 season was signing a point guard who could start regularly and orchestrate the offense while Kyrie Irving (knee) recovers from a torn ACL, and Russell fits that mold. The veteran floor general appeared in 29 regular-season games (26 starts) for the Nets during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 12.9 points, 5.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 24.7 minutes per game. He should see plenty of minutes in the Mavericks' backcourt in the opening weeks of the season. However, it's unclear how much usage he'll have, since the Mavericks will likely use Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg as primary offensive initiators at times. Russell ended the 2024-25 season sidelined due to an ankle injury, but he should be completely healthy by the time training camp begins in the fall. His deal also includes a player option for the 2026-27 campaign.

Russell quietly improved his shooting efficiency last season, posting career-best marks by knocking down 46.9 percent of his attempts from the field, 39.6 percent from deep and 82.9 percent from the charity stripe. His other numbers were in line with his previous two campaigns, as the veteran point guard averaged a steady 17.8 points, 6.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 three-pointers and 1.0 steals over 71 contests. The bulk of that work came with Minnesota, but Russell didn't experience any falloff after a trade deadline deal that resulted in a reunion with the Lakers, with whom his NBA career started. Though it may seem like he's been in the league a long time, the 2015 second-overall draft pick is still only 27 years old, so he remains in his basketball prime. Recent history reveals that Russell's season-long per-game numbers are fairly predictable. Thus, the big question in fantasy is whether he'll be able to sustain the improved shooting percentage from last season. Prior to 2022-23, he had never shot better than 43.4 percent from the field. Despite struggling at times during Los Angeles' playoff run, Russell was brought back by the Lakers on a two-year deal, and he'll have the opportunity to run the offense for a team with legitimate title aspirations. He isn't likely to suddenly ascend into elite point-guard territory, but Russell should continue to be a steady source of points, triples and dimes while helping to lessen the offensive load on the shoulders of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Mavericks to target him
Russell "has become a player of strong interest" for Dallas, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Afseth notes that the Mavericks are prepared to spend their $5.7 million taxpayer mid-level exception to acquire Russell. Afseth describes the guard as a "top target" as the team looks to add some point guard depth in the absence of Kyrie Irving, who is recovering from a torn ACL. Additionally, Russell is someone the team believes can thrive in a complementary role next to Irving when he's healthy.
