Klay Thompson Fantasy Stats

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson has surfaced in a potential trade framework floated by NBA insider Evan Sidery, with Nikola Jovic and a 2027 second-round pick going back to Dallas. Miami, fresh off landing Giannis Antetokounmpo, is looking for shooting around him and Bam Adebayo, and Thompson still fits that need after hitting 38.3 percent from deep last season. The 36-year-old averaged just 11.7 points mostly off the bench, though, leaving his fantasy value capped as an aging catch-and-shoot option wherever he lands. Jovic is the more interesting fantasy name. The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 47 games behind Miami's crowded frontcourt, but a move to Dallas could give him a clearer path to minutes next to Cooper Flagg. This is only a framework for now, so both outlooks remain speculative.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson could land with the Heat if Dallas agrees to a buyout, per Anthony Slater, as relayed by Evan Sidery. Sidery also floated a hypothetical Miami lineup featuring LeBron James, Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Bam Adebayo if the team were to add both veterans. Temper the excitement: Dallas has little incentive to rush a buyout, and the superteam angle depends on James choosing Miami. For fantasy, the aging sharpshooter offers little beyond volume threes now. Thompson posted career lows of 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists last season, though he still drilled 2.9 threes per game at 38.3 percent. In that star-heavy setup, he would likely be a low-usage spot-up shooter, leaving him as a deep-league threes specialist at most.

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson could be on the move this summer. The Mavericks are reportedly looking to trade Thompson, who is in the final year of his contract. Thompson is one of the best perimeter shooters in league history, but age regression has taken a toll on him. This past season, Thompson averaged 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists across 21.7 minutes per game in 69 games. The Mavs would like to get his $17.5 million off their books, but aren't considering a buyout right now. Thompson is no longer a centerpiece of an offense, but could still be a useful contributor on a contending team. The Miami Heat have reportedly expressed interest in Thompson, but we'll see if they can swing a deal financially.

According to Barry Jackson and Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson has emerged as a player of strong interest to the Miami Heat, regardless of whether LeBron James joins Miami. The hang-up is cost, with Thompson owed $17.5 million in the final year of his deal and Marc Stein reporting that Dallas prefers to explore trades before a buyout. Thompson averaged 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists while shooting 38.3% on 7.6 three-point attempts across 69 games last season. A Heat move would help his role security more than his fantasy ceiling, since he is now mostly a three-point specialist who rarely supplies enough rebounds, assists, or defensive stats to cover cold shooting stretches.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (illness) won't play on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs. He was a late addition to the injury report due to illness and doesn't feel well enough to help his team. John Poulakidas and Khris Middleton are set to benefit from Thompson's absence. The team is likely to be without several regulars, which will be a further boost for Poulakidas, who had a great outing on Wednesday against Phoenix, scoring a team-high 23 points.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Phoenix as part of routine maintenance on the second night of a back-to-back. His absence should open additional wing minutes for John Poulakidas and AJ Johnson, though both remain deep-league dart throws. Poulakidas logged three points, six rebounds, one steal, and one block in 19 minutes on Monday, while Khris Middleton could continue seeing starting minutes after playing 20 minutes in that contest. Thompson is expected to return on Friday.

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson (rest) is heading to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's not shocking to see the Mavs resting the veteran Thompson during the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with five points, two assists, and two rebounds across 22 minutes of action on Monday. The Mavs are very thin on forward depth, so Khris Middleton will likely play a significant role. The veteran forward doesn't offer a ton of streaming appeal, but could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (rest) will miss Monday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 36-year-old veteran forward is out for tonight's contest for rest purposes. He was also out of action during Sunday's 130-120 win over the Cavs. His next chance to return to the floor is on Wednesday at home versus the Hawks. With Thompson sidelined, fantasy managers can look to 34-year-old sharpshooter Khris Middleton as a potential streaming option as he should continue to see extra minutes this evening.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (rest) will miss Thursday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 36-year-old veteran forward will sit out tonight's contest to rest. Thompson most recently logged 21 points, one rebound, one assist and two steals during Tuesday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks. His next chance to return to the floor is on Friday versus the Cavs. With Thompson sidelined, fantasy managers can look to 34-year-old sharpshooter Khris Middleton as a potential streaming option as he will likely carry a heavier workload than usual against the Grizzlies.

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson (groin) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. As expected, Thompson will suit up after being listed as probable on the injury report. Since the All-Star break, Thompson is averaging 12.7 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 3.5 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes per game in six contests. The veteran guard has been inconsistent in terms of fantasy value this season. Thompson has been playing better lately and could be worth a look as a streaming option for Friday's slate. He knocked down seven three-pointers on Thursday, so hopefully he can keep it going here.
