DeAndre Jordan To Join Nets
DeAndre Jordan to join the team’s new core of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. While the Nets already have a promising young center in Jarrett Allen, Jordan should get a decent amount of run for the team. He’s still a solid rebounder and rim runner who can score on some Kyrie Irving lobs, but his fantasy value is going to be dependent on whether or not he ends up seeing the majority of Brooklyn’s center minutes or not. Allen is arguably a better player at this point, but Jordan’s a veteran who has a preexisting relationship with Irving and Durant, which might give him a boost in the competition. Keep an eye on Jordan at this point, but until we know how the rotation will shake out, he has the potential to post disappointing numbers this upcoming season.

DeAndre Jordan Returning To Denver
DeAndre Jordan is reportedly sticking around with the organization for at least one more season. The veteran big man has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal for the 2024-2025 season. Jordan should serve as the primary backup center to Nikola Jokic. However, that role usually doesn't come with a ton of playing time as long as Jokic is healthy. Jordan is a solid rebounder but he doesn't offer much fantasy value outside of that.

DeAndre Jordan has officially re-signed with the team for one more year, general manager Calvin Booth announced on Friday. Jordan appeared in only 39 regular-season games last season and saw action for just 13 minutes in total in the playoffs, but the 35-year-old brings great veteran pedigree with him and will be an extra body on the bench again in 2023-24. He averaged 5.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 15.0 minutes during his 15th NBA season.

DeAndre Jordan Starting Again In Game 2
DeAndre Jordan will start on Wednesday night during the postseason matchup against Miami. Jordan will fill in for Joel Embiid (face) once again for Game 2. However, the veteran logged only 17 minutes in Game 1, finishing with only four points, two boards, and two blocks. Nonetheless, Paul Reed, who had nine boards, four points, one steal, and one block during the series opener, should be the preferred option by DFS managers looking for value, even though he likely won't see a ton of minutes either.
