2025 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
Signed a two-year, $2.8 million contract with the Kings in February of 2024. Kings exercised $2.3 million team option for 2025-26 in June of 2025. Traded to the Cavaliers in February of 2026. 
Fades out of rotation
Ellis (coach's decision) went unused Sunday in the Cavaliers' 114-102 win over the Raptors in Game 7 of the first-round playoff series.
ANALYSIS
Since being moved to the Cavaliers prior to the trade deadline, Ellis had been a staple in the Cleveland rotation thanks largely to his defensive versatility. Following his trade from Sacramento to Cleveland, Ellis finished the regular season with averages of 8.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 25.0 minutes over 28 appearances. However, the fourth-year player ended up seeing his role diminish in the first round of the playoffs, averaging just 10.8 minutes over the first four games of the series before dropping out of the rotation entirely for the last three contests. For one of the few times all season, the Cavaliers have their entire roster healthy, so Ellis looks like he'll remain an odd man out of the rotation during the Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup with the Pistons while head coach Kenny Atkinson leans on a four-man bench.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Continues to draw interest
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.
