Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard is not rushing into extension talks, telling NBC Sports Boston's Chris Forsberg that he still has two years left on his deal and is more focused on improving. The 28-year-old becomes eligible on Oct. 1 for a three-year extension worth up to $67.1 million, but there is no urgency on either side. Pritchard is coming off a career year, averaging 17.0 points, 5.2 assists, and 3.9 rebounds in 32.4 minutes while starting 50 games. His scoring role should remain useful for fantasy managers, especially if Boston keeps leaning on his on-ball creation and three-point volume.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are viewed as a serious candidate to land Denver Nuggets restricted free-agent forward Peyton Watson in a sign-and-trade, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin via Sam Amico of HoopsWire. Watson broke out last season, averaging 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.1 blocks while shooting 49.1 percent from the field and 41.1 percent from three across 54 games. Denver is believed to be seeking a first-round pick and a rotation player, so nothing sounds close. A Cleveland move would likely reduce Watson's scoring chances next to Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, but his threes, steals, and blocks would keep him fantasy-relevant if the minutes hold.

Free-agent forward Anthony Gill remains an in-house candidate for the Washington Wizards' final standard roster spot, according to Greg Finberg of Bullets Forever. The 33-year-old is the team's longest-tenured player, and a return would mark his seventh season in Washington after years spent as a locker-room veteran for a young roster. Gill averaged 5.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists on 62.8 percent shooting across 55 games last season. Even if he re-signs, he would sit behind Anthony Davis, Alexandre Sarr, and Deandre Ayton in a crowded frontcourt, keeping him off fantasy radars.

Free-agent guard Gabe Vincent has been floated as a candidate for the Washington Wizards' final standard roster spot, with Bullets Forever's Greg Finberg noting the team's need for another point guard. Vincent was linked to Washington earlier in free agency after averaging 4.4 points, 1.0 rebound, and 1.4 assists while shooting 34.1 percent from three across 53 games with the Lakers and Hawks last season. His playoff experience helps the veteran depth case, but Trae Young controls the offense while Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington need developmental minutes. Vincent would be backcourt insurance, not a fantasy factor.
