Trendon Watford

Trendon Watford has agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million deal to return to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran forward should provide the Pelicans with a decent two-way player, albeit more of a drive-and-D rather than a 3-and-D type of player. He’s averaged about 15-20 minutes a night throughout his career, so it’s reasonable to expect more of the same in New Orleans. He will have limited fantasy appeal.

The 76ers are not picking up the team option of Trendon Watford.

Fantasy Impact

Watford will become an unrestricted free agent. He will seek a depth role with another team.

Trendon Watford is listed as probable for Wednesday’s game against the Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Watford is on track to be good to go despite dealing with an illness. He should remain in his reserve role.

Trendon Watford led the 76ers' second unit with 20 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3PT, 6-6 FT) and added nine rebounds and four assists in Saturday's win over Utah.

Fantasy Impact

Watford's 20 points tied a season-high and he has now reached double figures in five games this month. His nine rebounds were his most since recording nine back on November 23. Watford is averaging 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 19.7 minutes per game this month. He's still too inconsistent to be fantasy relevant.

Trendon Watford scored 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3P) with four rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in the Sixers’ 135-114 win over the Pacers on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Watford had almost no playing time against the Timberwolves on Sunday, but got back to his regular 15-20 minutes against the Pacers. He’s been a low-floor, low-ceiling type of player, he’s only had double digit points three times this month, so it’s best to leave him on waivers.
