Anthony Black Season Outlook: Sixth-Man Playmaker in Orlando
Anthony Black enters his third NBA campaign as Orlando's primary backcourt reserve behind starting guards Jalen Suggs and Desmond Bane. While a mild right ankle sprain briefly sidelined him in early October, he recently returned to full practice and remains on track for opening night.
Our models project Black to produce 23.5 fantasy points across 26.5 minutes per game over 71 projected contests. We anticipate dependable contributions across multiple categories, led by 12.7 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game to anchor his secondary playmaking role.
Holding a late-round ADP near 118 and rostered in 54% of leagues, the 22-year-old operates as an upside bench asset. While sharing backcourt touches caps his usage, his multi-position flexibility and steals floor offer solid value with breakout appeal if injuries strike.

Gui Santos Season Outlook: Starting Opportunity Unlocks Deep-League Value
With Jimmy Butler III sidelined to begin the season, Santos opens the year atop Golden State's depth chart at small forward. Entering his fourth NBA season at age 24, the versatile forward looks to build upon a productive 2025 campaign where he averaged 20.3 minutes across 70 appearances.
Our models project Santos to handle 21.3 minutes per game over 72 appearances, providing 18.3 fantasy points alongside 8.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per contest. We also expect solid efficiency, projecting him to convert 49.6% from the field and 38.3% from three-point range.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, lifting his roster rate to 18% entering the season. While sharing the floor with established veterans like Draymond Green limits his scoring ceiling, Santos profiles as a dependable depth piece in deeper formats and an intriguing streaming candidate in standard leagues.
