Malik Beasley Fantasy Stats

Free-agent guard Malik Beasley agreed to a one-year, $6 million deal with the Detroit Pistons. The 2016 No. 19 overall pick made 79 appearances for the Bucks in 2023-24, averaging 11.3 points while shooting 41.3% from behind the arc. While he likely won't be a routine starter like in Milwaukee, his three-point efficiency should keep him in the rotation enough for him to remain a viable option for fantasy managers.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, impending free agent guard Malik Beasley isn't expected to return to Milwaukee. The 27-year-old appeared in 79 games for the Bucks during the regular season, averaging 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists. He also shot 41.3% from deep, making him among the most proficient three-point threats in the National Basketball Association. Unfortunately, Beasley didn't see the floor as often late in the season, negatively impacting his statistical contributions for fantasy managers. At any rate, with Milwaukee strapped for cash this offseason, the team can't afford Beasley, who could seek around $13 million. As such, his fantasy outlook will hinge on where he signs for the 2024-25 campaign.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) will play on Sunday versus Phoenix. He missed Thursday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers and was listed as questionable for Sunday. However, the back spams will only cost Beasley one game. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) unavailable for this one, Beasley has a chance to benefit from a production standpoint, so he should draw strong consideration from fantasy managers, especially those participating in DFS contests.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) popped up on the injury report again and has been listed as questionable for the Sunday matinee against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran wing was forced to miss their last game on Friday with the same back spasms. A better picture of his health will come on the day of the game when he tries to go through shootaround. Patrick Beverley took his place in the starting five during their last contest, so the same would likely happen. Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is also questionable, so Beverley and Bobby Portis could have some heavy minutes in store.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) won't play on Thursday against Philadelphia. He logged 25 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings and was added to the injury report heading into this one because of back spasms. With Khris Middleton (ankle) out for over a month, Beasley has been getting more work, making him a viable fantasy commodity. However, now that he's out, Pat Connaughton, averaging 10.5 points and 7.5 assists in two starts this season, will make a fine value addition to DFS lineups.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bucks are likely going to wait and see how Beasley feels closer to tip-off. If Beasley is forced to sit, Pat Connaughton and Patrick Beverley would likely be asked to play bigger roles. Between the two, Beverley is the better streaming choice between the two players.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Malik Beasley (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's clash with the Spurs. He's missed the last two games with an illness but appears to be feeling better and ready to go. Andre Jackson Jr. had a pair of impressive outings in the starting unit as Beasley's replacement, but he will now head back to the bench. Beasley has been a good fit in Milwaukee as a floor spacer who has hit nearly 46 percent of his triples. Scoring should come easily again for him and the Bucks on Tuesday against a team that allows the fourth-most points in the league and won't have Victor Wembanyama (ankle) protecting the paint.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Malik Beasley sees himself as a starter on the team and is focused on improving defensively to nail down a spot in the unit. "I came here to also help my defense," Beasley told Jim Owczarski of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "They make an impact on defense. Especially with (assistant) coach (Patrick) Mutombo, that's his specialty. I heard coach (Adrian) Griffin, that's what he likes, too. I want this to be a great year not just for me individually, but overall as a team and building my value more than just a three-point shooter." As a sniper who has averaged at least eight three-point attempts per game for four consecutive seasons, Beasley is set to be a very valuable weapon for the Bucks next to Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The better he does on the defensive end, there more minutes he will likely get with the two superstars.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Malik Beasley is expected to be released by the organization, assuming they can't find a trade partner by the end of Thursday. The 26-year-old currently has a $16.5 million team option for the 2023-2024 season. The Lakers don't appear to be willing to accept that after what they saw from Beasley last season. He averaged 11.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists during his 26 games in Los Angeles. Beasley has shown the ability to be a reliable shooter during his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He should be able to find another organization, assuming he's released. His fantasy value will be dependent on where he lands this summer.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Malik Beasley and forward Jarred Vanderbilt will shift into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers have decided to shake up their starting five as this is the last game for them before the All-Star break. Dennis Schroder and Rui Hachimura will head to the bench as a result and lose some fantasy appeal. The Lakers could be doing this to see how this group performs together alongside LeBron James. Fantasy managers in need of 3-pointers should look towards Beasley. As for Vanderbilt, a majority of his fantasy value comes from the defensive end. It's unlikely either of these players do much with James and Anthony Davis healthy on Wednesday.
