A look at the Dallas Mavericks player movement, projections, and fantasy basketball rankings, including a focus on potentially key fantasy players, such as Nerlens Noel and Dennis Smith Jr.
Our eyes will be on the Mavericks at the start the NBA season, and it has everything to do with whether Dennis Smith Jr. and Nerlens Noel can cement a spot in the starting lineup. Noel started 12 of his 22 games in a Dallas uniform last season, while Dennis only has Yogi Ferrell to beat in the depth chart.

Key Fantasy Players
We've broken down player data for key Dallas Mavericks fantasy basketball players including projections, projections per 36 minutes, last season's averages, and last season's averages when playing between 20-30 minutes as well as between 30-40 minutes.
Nerlens Noel (PF/C)
Nerlens has the potential to be a defensive fantasy beast. In the 4 games where he played 30+ minutes last season, he put up huge numbers (as per the chart below). If he can get anywhere near 30 minutes a game this season he'll be good for close to 1.5 STL and 1.5 BLK a game.

Dennis Smith (PG)
There's a chance that Dennis is going to be drafted way too early in some of your leagues, and there's a chance that he starts the season coming off the bench, but that only presents itself with a buy-low opportunity. It's only a matter of time until he wins the starting spot in Dallas.
