Batum opened the season with the Clippers but was quickly traded to the 76ers. Even though he alternated between the starting unit and bench during the regular season, it's worth noting the Frenchman saw a significant role in the playoffs, averaging 6.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 28.3 minutes per game during Philadelphia's first-round matchup against the Knicks. Batum chose to return to Los Angeles for the 2024-25 campaign, but all signs point to him playing a bench role. Derrick Jones and Kawhi Leonard are penciled in to start at the forward spots. However, Batum should still see a decent amount of minutes and could be in line for more than a few starts given Leonard's injury history and recent rest-related patterns. That said, Batum has failed to average more than 8.5 points per game in each of his last five seasons he's held a bench role, and those numbers aren't expected to improve in 2024-25. Batum can be a solid option to round out your lineup on specific slates, and he could earn a more prominent role if Leonard is forced to miss time, but he won't provide much fantasy value as long as the Clippers remain at full strength.
