25-Year-Old GuardG
Sacramento Kings
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

Logs nine minutes in win
GSacramento Kings
December 7, 2025
Ellis amassed three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal across nine minutes during Saturday's 127-111 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Ellis saw single-digit minutes for the third time in Sacramento's last four games, though he still chipped in on the defensive end during his limited run. The fourth-year guard has seen inconsistent playing time of late, logging at least 10 minutes in just two of his last six games. During that span, he has averaged 1.8 points while shooting 21.4 percent from the field in 11.7 minutes per contest.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linked to Indiana
GSacramento Kings
November 26, 2025
The Pacers could target Ellis ahead of the trade deadline, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Ellis remains an intriguing young guard whose contract situation has drawn attention around the league. Scotto notes that some executives were surprised the Kings exercised his $2.3 million team option rather than negotiating a new deal last summer, a move likely influenced by Sacramento being just under the luxury tax. As a result, Ellis is now on track to reach unrestricted free agency in 2026, with his Bird Rights staying with the Kings or any team that acquires him via trade. The Pacers are among several teams that have expressed interest in Ellis and have previously targeted him, and a move would almost certainly boost his fantasy appeal, considering how low his minutes have been in Sacramento.
