2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bane's 2024-25 season got off to a slow start while dealing with an oblique issue, causing him to average just 13.8 points in 27.2 minutes on a 41.0 field-goal percentage through his first 13 games. After that, Bane averaged 20.5 points on 49.8 shooting, 6.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.0 minutes. Bane will be bringing his All-Star-caliber numbers to a new team in 2025-26 after being dealt to the Magic. Paolo Banchero will still be Orlando's go-to option, but Bane has the opportunity to get similar secondary touches to Franz Wagner. That's a role he's already been playing while next to Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect a significant decrease in usage for the shooting guard. In fantasy terms, Bane has recently been a solid option between picks 30-50, which is the range managers should likely consider drafting him again this season. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024

2021
Bane played in a career-low 42 games last season. However, when he was on the court, Bane took advantage of Ja Morant's (suspension/shoulder) and Marcus Smart's absence, averaging career highs in points (23.7), assists (5.5) and made three-pointers (3.3) per game. Bane is expected to be healthy this offseason, along with Morant and Smart, so the Grizzlies should be back in contention in 2024-25, but what does that mean for each individual's fantasy value? In 2021-22, Bane appeared in a career-high 76 games and finished 29th in eight-category leagues with averages of 18.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.0 made three-pointers per game. If he can put together a healthy season, Bane can flirt with that type of finish again, even if he's operating as a secondary offensive option. However, the injury concerns and the uncertainty surrounding Memphis' comeback season make Bane a risky pick in the early rounds of fantasy drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Looking to take more triples
During an interview with Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo Sports, Bane said he intends to launch more three-pointers with the Magic.
ANALYSIS
"I think that I'll definitely be at career numbers as far as three-point attempts go." Bane attempted 6.1 three-pointers per game with Memphis during the 2024-25 regular season, but the year prior, he attempted 8.1 per game. O'Connor asked if Bane taking eight or nine per game was realistic in Orlando, and Bane said that was the goal. A career 41.0 percent shooter from beyond the arc, this is encouraging to hear from a fantasy perspective.
