The NBA trade deadline triggered major roster changes that boosted several players' fantasy prospects. Cooper Flagg emerged as Dallas's centerpiece after the Anthony Davis trade, averaging 32.0 PPG, 7.7 RPG, and 4.0 APG in his last six games. The Mavericks rookie, already a Rookie of the Year frontrunner, could climb into top-10 fantasy territory if his production continues.

In Cleveland, the James Harden acquisition created opportunities for both Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. While Mobley remains sidelined with injury, Allen has thrived as Harden's primary pick-and-roll partner, posting 25.5 PPG on 75.0% shooting in his first two games with the new point guard. Both big men should see increased scoring and efficiency once Mobley returns. Meanwhile, Anfernee Simons found a new home in Chicago where he's averaging 20.0 PPG and 3.7 3PG in three starts, positioning himself as the Bulls' primary scoring option on a rebuilding team.

Other beneficiaries include Bennedict Mathurin in LA, who could follow Norman Powell's path to increased scoring with the Clippers, and Ty Jerome in Memphis, who's averaging a point per minute (20 MPG) for a Grizzlies team in full rebuild mode. Jerome's minutes restrictions should lift soon, potentially unleashing impressive numbers if he maintains his per-36 pace of 35.6 PPG.
