The players

Victor Wembanyama

A 22-year-old forward for the San Antonio Spurs, Wembanyama is the only player in the league averaging at least 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

A guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Gilgeous-Alexander has exceeded expectations, appearing on 29% of the top-500 Public League teams and averaging 30 points, 6.4 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.1 stocks while shooting 55% from the field.

Tyrese Maxey

A guard for the Philadelphia 76ers, Maxey has carried the team for much of the season, putting up career numbers in points, assists, stocks, rebounds and free throw percentage. He's a top-six option in High Score and a top-three asset in 9-cat and points leagues.

Jalen Johnson

A forward for the Atlanta Hawks, Johnson's ADP was around pick No. 25 in the preseason, yet he's performing as a top-15 player in 9-cat formats and a top-five player in High Score and points leagues. With 10 triple-doubles on the year, fantasy managers can expect many more in the second half of the season.

Nikola Jokić

The Denver Nuggets' center is still far and away the best player in fantasy, averaging a triple-double for the second year in a row and ranking as the consensus No. 1 pick despite missing 16 games.

What they’re saying

“Yes, the Joker missed 16 games, but he's still far and away the best player in fantasy. He's averaging 69 fantasy points per game in High Score and is averaging a triple-double for the second year in a row. And it's not just those key counting stats — he's uber-efficient and still racking up steals. It's hard to imagine a world where Jokić is not worthy of a consensus No. 1 pick.”
