Dalano Banton Fantasy Stats

The Mavericks waived guard/forward Dalano Banton, the team announced on Friday. The 2021 No. 46 overall pick signed a non-guaranteed deal heading into training camp. However, most assumed he was a long shot to make the opening night roster, so the latest isn't much of a surprise. Banton has spent time with various clubs around the National Basketball Association throughout his career, most recently appearing in 67 games for the Portland Trail Blazers throughout the 2024 campaign. Although he didn't see consistent playing time, he still looked good in his seven starts, averaging 16.0 points, 4.7 assists, and 1.0 blocks. There's a chance Banton may suit up for the Texas Legends, Dallas' G League squad. Still, Banton isn't a practical fantasy option at the moment, although that may change if he ends up getting some starts for a team during the year.

Free-agent guard/forward Dalano Banton signed with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday and will likely be competing for a roster spot, although the exact nature of the deal was not announced. Over the last few years, Banton has played for the Raptors, Celtics, and most recently, the Trail Blazers. The 25-year-old has had a few huge games when asked to carry a larger workload, but usually plays a role in the supporting cast off the bench. Last year, he started the final seven games of the year for Portland, averaging 16 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.7 three-pointers. Banton could be an interesting DFS or streaming option if he gets expanded work, but he'll need to make the roster first and doesn't look positioned for a large enough role to be a season-long fantasy contributor.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton will start in Tuesday's game against the Hawks. Anfernee Simons (forearm) and Scoot Henderson (concussion) won't suit up, so Banton will roll with the first five on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old went scoreless in Sunday's loss to the Knicks. However, with Jerami Grant (knee) also ruled out, Banton is worth considering for most fantasy lineups.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (illness) has been cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Banton was questionable coming into this game due to a lingering illness. However, Banton will shake off the questionable tag and suit up on Tuesday. He's averaging 12 minutes per game in March, so he's not exactly a big part of the rotation. The Blazers are relatively healthy at the guard spot, so Banton is unlikely to offer much fantasy value right now.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his last game against the Boston Celtics, Banton scored 5 points in 8 minutes, shooting 50.0% from the field. This season, Banton has played in 57 games, averaging 7.7 points per game, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists with his field goal percentage being 41.9%. Scoot Henderson will likely play a more significant role if Banton is out this evening.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with Brooklyn. The 25-year-old has been in and out of the lineup since December and might have to sit again because he is feeling under the weather. Banton had a good spell in the rotation early in the season, but this came during a time when the Trail Blazers were dealing with several injuries. He's only had a small role to play with a healthy squad, logging just six minutes last time out against Miami.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (hip) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Lakers. He missed almost the entire second half of December, playing in only one of the last six games. Now, Banton might also have to sit out the first game in January. With Banton out, Scoot Henderson has an opportunity to play more off the Portland bench. Henderson finished 2024 with a rough outing against Philadelphia, but he has been in good form lately. Henderson's last five appearances include a double-double effort and 11 total steals.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Banton will now miss his third game in a row and his fifth absence in the last six games. He continues to deal with a lingering hip injury, but will hopefully be back on the court for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Scoot Henderson should see a slight boost in fantasy value with Banton unable to play. Henderson has been playing better lately with double digit scoring in each of his last four games.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Dalano Banton (hip) will be back in the lineup on Monday versus Dallas. He's available again after sitting out two contests with a hip injury. Banton adds a bit more quality to the Trail Blazers bench, with him averaging 9.8 points per game with 2.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 16.7 minutes across the season. However, he does not have much fantasy value with a healthy squad. In fact, this is a horrible matchup for the entire Portland bench, as the Mavericks give up the third-fewest points in the league to opposing second units.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Banton was listed as questionable coming into this game, but he will now miss his second game in a row due to a lingering hip issue. His absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation considering Banton is only averaging 16 minutes per game. The expectation is that Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe will absorb a few more minutes which should give them an uptick in value for Saturday's game.
