2025 Fantasy Outlook
Davis has averaged at least 20 points, nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal in all but one season since his rookie campaign in 2012-13, making him an elite per-game fantasy option. However, he's made more than 56 regular-season appearances only twice in the past seven years, making him one of the riskiest picks in fantasy sports. One of the most surprising trades of this generation saw Dallas ship Luka Doncic overnight to the Lakers in exchange for Davis last February. The superstar big man struggled to stay on the court for the Mavericks, who also lost Kyrie Irving to a torn ACL. However, when available, Davis was a force and nearly led his new squad through the Play-In Tournament as the 10th seed. He underwent offseason surgery to repair a detached retina but is expected to be healthy to start 2025-26. With Irving sidelined to start the year, Davis and 2025 No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg will have added offensive responsibility early on. Dallas also has a deep frontcourt, with Daniel Gafford, Dereck Lively, Dwight Powell and P.J. Washington, so Davis shouldn't have to exclusively play center, which he's been vocally opposed to in the past. The shift to power forward likely wouldn't be the best thing for his overall fantasy potential, as the farther away he gets from the basket, the more his key fantasy categories would drop (REBs, BLKs, FG%). Regardless, when he's consistently playing, Davis has always been a top-tier fantasy contributor. Read Past Outlooks

Returns to 5-on-5 work
Davis (eye) got back on the basketball floor for the first time since July for five-on-five work Saturday, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis underwent eye surgery to repair a detached retina on July 8. He was expected to return in time for training camp, and it appears he's on track to do just that following this latest report. After being traded to the Mavericks in the shocking Luka Doncic deal with the Lakers, Davis' time with Dallas for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign was marred by injuries, as he went down with an abductor injury in his first game with his new squad and then dealt with a knee injury late in the regular season. The one-time NBA champion will hope for a fresh start next month, with training camp set to get underway Sept. 30.

Last season was one of Davis' healthiest recently, with the big man's 76 appearances representing the first time he's crossed the 70-game threshold since 2017-18. He produced at an elite level, finishing on the All-NBA Second Team and the All-Defensive First Team behind 24.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals in 35.5 minutes. Even though Davis had his most productive season in half a decade, fantasy managers still have reason to be cautious regarding the 31-year-old's health. He's a first-round talent, but drafting him there still incurs risk. In terms of the team around AD, it will be much of the same. LeBron James is leading the way, with D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura presumably filling out the rest of the starting five, though it's possible Jarred Vanderbilt gets a nominal starting spot for defensive purposes. Regardless, fantasy managers shouldn't expect any massive swings in per-game production from AD, who is one of the best two-way bigs in the game.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

To spend more time at the four
Christian Clark of The Athletic said Monday that Davis will likely spend the majority of his time at power forward in 2025-26.
ANALYSIS
Davis, who is currently recovering from an eye procedure, is expected to be a full go for training camp. Davis has said in the past that he prefers power forward over center, and it makes sense for the team to go this route with Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively locking down the center spot. Clark notes that Davis logged only 95 minutes with Lively or Gafford at the five during the 2024-25 regular season, so this will be a considerable change for Dallas.
