According to Tim MacMahon of ESPN, center Boban Marjanovic landed a deal with EuroLeague team Fenerbahce on Tuesday. Majanovic's new deal was first reported on Eurohoops.net. The contract is a one-year deal with the option for both sides to opt out until January. He averaged 5.5 points and 3.6 boards in 8.7 minutes during his NBA career. He has been a fan favorite during his nine years in the NBA but rarely made an impact in fantasy basketball.
Free agent center Boban Marjanovic has told Meridian Sport in Serbia that he "expects" to land a new NBA deal. The seven-foot-four giant has spent the last two seasons with the Houston Rockets. "I expect the NBA, but if that doesn't happen, there's a lot on paper right now," Marjanovic said. The 36-year-old made 14 appearances last season, scoring 3.2 points and grabbing 2.3 rebounds in 5.1 minutes. He has averaged 5.5 points and 3.6 boards in 8.7 minutes for his NBA career. Marjanovic has been a fan favorite during his stay in the NBA, but he has offered very little to fantasy managers.
The Rockets are acquiring center Boban Marjanovic from Dallas in exchange for Christian Wood. Houston is also receiving the No. 26 overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft along with Sterling Brown, Trey Burke, and Marquese Chriss. Marjanovic has averaged only 5.9 points and 3.8 boards throughout his career, so despite the change of scenery, he will likely continue to spend most of the time on the bench. However, if Alperen Sengun were to succumb to injury in 2022-23, Marjanovic could receive some interest from fantasy managers as a streaming option in deeper formats.
Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic is expected to remain on the roster. The big man has one year remaining on his current deal and is due to make $3.5 million this season. Despite averaging only 4.3 points and 1.7 rebounds throughout 23 appearances during the 2021-22 campaign, the 33-year-old is a proven locker room leader, so the team would like to keep him at all costs. Still, it's unlikely he will see interest from fantasy managers heading into October. Yet, if he can carve out a more consistent role in the lineup, he'll be worth a look in deeper formats. Marjanovic may also get a start here or there during the year, so he may also receive some waiver consideration from those dealing with injuries.
Boban Marjanovic, Brandon Knight Land In COVID Protocols
Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic and point/shooting guard Brandon Knight have become the latest members of their team to join the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely. While Marjanovic has been a tremendous per minute producer, he has seen just 5.9 minutes per contest this season, keeping him on the outside looking in of fantasy relevance in all season-long formats. Knight has enjoyed a brief three-game resurgence with Dallas, who remains massively shorthanded in the backcourt. The veteran dialed up an 18-point performance Monday, but his future with the team is now murky as he does have a guaranteed deal moving forward.
Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic (back) will sit Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. Marjanovic popped up on the injury report with back tightness, but was eventually upgraded to probable and all signs pointed to him playing. Despite this, Marjanovic was a late scratch, leaving the Mavs with some decisions to make with Kristaps Porzingis (back) also out. Maxi Kleber may take the starting power forward spot or they shift Dorian Finney-Smith to the four and add Jalen Brunson to the starting lineup. Regardless, all three will likely see an increased role on Thursday. The Mavs are starting a back-to-back set which could have contributed to Marjanovic sitting.
Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic entered the starting five in the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and made the most of his opportunity. Marjanovic poured in 15 points and pulled down 12 boards for his third double-double of the season in just 24 minutes of action. The veteran big man doesn't usually get playing time like this, but he can be quite productive when he does. With Porzingis set to return for Dallas' Monday matchup with the Jazz, Marjanovic will return to a bench role.
Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic scored 20 points with nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in 25 minutes. Marjanovic filled in for Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and looked the part as he also drained all six of his free-throw attempts. The 31-year-old rarely plays, but his gigantic size makes him an impossible matchup in an increasingly smaller league. Marjanovic owns an absurd 25.22 player efficiency rating this year, which would rank just behind LeBron James if he qualified. Simply put, Marjanovic is a beast anytime he gets the minutes. If Porzingis is out again on Tuesday, Marjanovic is a really sneaky DFS play.
Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic went off for a career-high 31 points on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Marjanovic dominated the interior as he also added 17 rebounds with two steals and connected on 12 of 20 shooting from the floor and made 7-for-8 from the line. In a bizarre night in the NBA, Boban's line provided some form of short-term redirection. On the fantasy side of things, if and when the NBA resumes, Marjanovic's impact will most likely not last.
Boban Marjanovic Logs Third Double-Double Of Season
Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic collected his second double-double in his last three games during Tuesdays win over the Golden State Warriors. Marjanovic needed just 20 minutes off the bench to collect 13 points on 6-for-14 shooting, while adding 11 rebounds to his total. The 14 shot attempts were far and away his most this season, with his most recent outing with that integral of a role in the offense having come April 7, 2017, while he was with Detroit. He has nearly as many double-digit scoring games (eight) as he does scoreless games (six) this year, which makes him an extremely volatile fantasy option on a nightly basis. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) expected back Wednesday, owners can likely watch Marjanovic from afar for the time being.
