2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ellis had a terrific third NBA campaign with the Kings in 2024-25. He ended up with 80 regular-season appearances (28 starts), posting averages of 8.2 points, 1.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers on 48.9 percent shooting from the field. In just 24.4 minutes per contest, Ellis produced a ninth-round finish in standard nine-category leagues on a per-game basis. The Kings didn't make a ton of noise in the offseason despite some changes in the front office. DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk were rumored to be on the trade block, but nothing came to fruition. Sacramento's big addition was presumed starting point guard Dennis Schroder, and the club also signed Russell Westbrook ahead of the regular season. The backcourt is certainly crowded when you throw Zach LaVine and Devin Carter into the mix, but Ellis certainly proved his worth in 2024-25 and has the talent to carve out a sizable role. With elite steal and block rates, Ellis has intrigue, but his ceiling just won't be that high until the Kings clear up this logjam in the backcourt. Read Past Outlooks

Finger
March 1, 2026
Ellis (finger) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Ellis has been cleared to return after missing one game with a left index finger fracture. While James Harden (thumb) is also expected to return to the lineup Sunday, Ellis should still see a healthy workload in a backcourt that remains without Donovan Mitchell (groin).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Continues to draw interest
GSacramento Kings
January 30, 2026
Ellis has generated widespread interest from teams seeking perimeter defense and shooting help, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Sacramento is open to moving him, though Scotto notes that league executives believe his value aligns closer to multiple second-round picks due to his pending free agency. The Kings have also explored pairing Ellis with DeRozan in trade frameworks. Ellis' fantasy value hinges heavily on landing spot, with potential upside if he moves to a team offering consistent minutes.
