James Harden
Can Harden go the season averaging close to 40 points per game? There's nothing to suggest otherwise. He'll be one of the best fantasy players over the next few seasons, even when you factor in his poor FG%.

Karl-Anthony Towns
His 3-point shot looks legit (currently hitting 4.1 per game, second-best in the league), which elevates him to a top fantasy player in both re-draft and dynasty formats. Don't trade him.

Anthony Davis
Has been battling injuries for most of the season so far. He's still a top fantasy player, but the huge 40/20 games are going to be few and far between, and that's OK since he's still putting up top 3 fantasy numbers.

Luka Doncic
Is it a hot take to have him ranked as the number 1 player in dynasty formats? Dramatic improvement in his shooting percentages has propelled him up in the rankings, and he's quickly becoming a walking triple-double. Do not trade him unless it's for a godfather offer.

Kyrie Irving
As expected, his FG% has dipped a little playing in a new system, and his output has risen, but there are still concerns surrounding his health, having already missed games this season. I don't think Durant impacts him all that much next season.

Kawhi Leonard
The best hired gun in the league should be ready to prove that he's able to do it again. With George expected to miss games early, he'll be expected to carry the team as he did in Toronto. There will be external pressure for him not to sit games in the loaded Western Conference, but the Clippers should be smart about it. I'll be surprised if he plays more than 72 games this season.
| SG,SF | LAC | 69 | 32.0 |

Giannis Antetokounmpo
His FT% has almost dipped down to his FG%, which is a huge concern, but the rest of his game has gone to another level. He's the best player in fantasy basketball in punt FT% builds.
| SF,PF | MIL | 72 | 33.0 |
$49

Trae Young
Young has made the improvements this season that many were expecting, and he has almost doubled his steals average from last season (0.9 to 1.6). We're only a month into the new season, but he looks like he's going to be a top-20 guy.
| PG | ATL | 76 | 33.0 |
$48

LeBron James
LeBron should have a very slight dip in points, but his assists should reach 9 per game for the second time in his career playing next to Davis. Should be re-energized in the short-term, but it wouldn't be unheard of if we start seeing him miss games as he focuses on extending his career.
| SF,PF | LAL | 74 | 36.0 |
$47

Jimmy Butler
Alpha-dog Butler has his own team again, and I'm expecting an increase in numbers across the board (primarily in scoring). Should still have a few seasons of elite-level play left in him.
| SG,SF | MIA | 72 | 33.0 |

Joel Embiid
A top fantasy contributor until you factor in games played and has yet to play more than 64 games in his first three seasons in the NBA. Missing a handful of games each season might become the norm with Embiid, so factor that in on draft day, but don't let it discourage you, he's still an elite talent.

Kemba Walker

Devin Booker
Rubio takes around an assist away from him, but his scoring should make up for it. I still think his best position is as the ball-dominant guard with a defensive-minded PG next to him, but he'll be a top fantasy contributor for years to come.

Nikola Jokic

Stephen Curry
Golden State has turned to youth as they continue to lose games and improve their lottery odds. There's little incentive to rush Steph back, so consider this a somewhat lost season. He'll return at some point, and will be useful for a fantasy playoff run if you can get him on the cheap.

Andre Drummond
His value is capped by his FT%, but he's a must-have in punt-FT builds due to his elite production in REB, BLK, and good production in FG%, PTS, and STL. Is still relatively young and in his prime for a few more seasons.
| PF,C | DET | 78 | 34.0 |
$31

Kyle Lowry
Will have to take on more scoring responsibility with Kawhi gone and has good short-term appeal, but he'll be 33 this season, and may only have a few good seasons left in him.

Brandon Ingram
Many of us were wrong about Ingram, and he has managed to improve his fantasy output, including 2.6 threes per game, and hitting 75% from the free-throw line. It's a matter of whether he can keep it up, but if he can, he has the most improved player award locked up.

Bradley Beal
He's going to continue playing 35+ minutes a night and have the freedom to do whatever he wants on the offensive end. His usage has ramped up, and he's still shooting an efficient FG% and handing out 7 assists per game. His fantasy value is at an all-time high, but it's debatable whether he'l be able to maintain it when Wall returns next season.
| SG | WAS | 78 | 35.0 |
$29

23
|
Deandre Ayton
Expecting progression across the board with Ayton as he takes on more of a role on the offensive end with a PG who knows how to pass the ball. Has a LaMarcus Aldridge career path ahead of him as an efficient big man who doesn't rely on big defensive numbers to still have a high fantasy ranking.

Jonathan Isaac
His elite defensive numbers have dramatically increased his re-draft league rankings, but whether it's sustainable is up for debate. If you think he's able to maintain 2.8 blocks per game, then hold him, if you don't, now might be a good time to sell high.
| SF,PF | ORL | 76 | 30.0 |

Hassan Whiteside
Has every opportunity to bounce back until Nurkic returns, but can his knees last? It's questionable whether there's another team who'd give him big minutes and he doesn't hold much value when Nurkic returns.

Ben Simmons
His scoring has dipped, but there's enough firepower in Philadelphia that scoring isn't what they need from Simmons. He's an elite fantasy player in punt FT% builds, and he has finally hit a 3-pointer.

Nikola Vucevic
His offensive game has dipped, but so has the whole team's. With Orlando struggling this season, we can expect the trade rumors to fire up again, but if history has told us anything, he'll be on this roster for a few more years.

Chris Paul
If you have Paul in a dynasty format now's the time to try and move him, unless you're competing for the title. He's only going to get older, and he has a history of hamstring injuries.

LaMarcus Aldridge
As consistent as they come, and still has one or two more seasons of elite-level play left. We've seen him capable of expanding his range from behind the 3-point line in the past (averaging over one 3PM twice in his last five seasons).

Rudy Gobert
It looks like Utah will be playing small at the PF spot, so there are extra rebounds available for Gobert to grab, which makes him an even more appealing fantasy option.

De'Aaron Fox
He started the season slowly, and now he's hurt. Now's the time to try and trade for him in dynasty formats, as he's a crucial cog to Sacramento's offense.

Tobias Harris
Jumps up the offensive pecking order now that Butler is on another team and should mesh well with Philly's new additions who aren't as demanding about getting their shots up (Richardson and Horford).

$22

Donovan Mitchell
Should continue to see his game develop and Utah has committed to bringing in some more talent to make sure that defenses can't focus on him all the time. Should be a fantasy staple moving forward and could eventually become a good enough option to take over point-guard duties full-time.

Victor Oladipo
Should start the season slowly, and will likely be load managed, so target him early in trades before he gets his groove back. The additions of Warren, Lamb, and Brogdon will help reduce his scoring load, but he'll still be their number one option.
| PG,SG | IND | 50 | 30.0 |
$21

Zion Williamson
Zion's going to be very good, and we've seen players come back after missing big chunks of their rookie season, so I'm not concerned with his current injury. Still, I'm concerned about his ability to stay healthy over an 82 game season, but he has plenty of time to work it out.
| PF | NOP | 42 | 31.0 |

Fred VanVleet
NBA Finals Fred has evolved into Regular Season VanVleet, and he's a fantasy stud. His numbers have had a boost with Lowry injured, and how long he can keep it up for is debatable, but enjoy the ride if you're on it.

DeMar DeRozan
He'll be a top 50 fantasy player for a few more seasons. At some point, his lack of three-point shot is going to hurt him, but he still has elite value in the short-term.

Jamal Murray
Murray has upped his fantasy output by adding steals (1.6 per game so far this season) to his game, and it's exacly what we were hoping for. If he can keep it up, he's a top 50 player for years to come.

Buddy Hield
There's still a little more growth left in his game, but he needs to up his steal rate to go to the next level. Has a game that ages well and should be able to continue producing at this level for a long time.

Zach LaVine
Had an impressive break-out-again season last season with Chicago, and on paper, he's a great fit long-term with Coby White. The potential to be a 20 PPG,4.5 RPG, 3.5 APG guy for the rest of his prime is achievable.

Al Horford

Gordon Hayward
He looked good before he got hurt, and fit right into the big man facilitator role that Horford left behind. Don't think his 55 FG% is sustainable, but the rest of his numbers are.

Russell Westbrook
Houston is still working out how to best use Westbrook, but he's still putting up elite numbers when you exclude both shooting %s. Now would be the time to move him in a dynasty league, unless you're in contention to win your league.

Devonte' Graham
Has blown up this season and become Charlotte's best fantasy prospect. The only concern (a very slight one) is how long he'll be able to keep it up for, but there's nothing to suggest that he'll be slowing down soon.
| PG | CHA | 76 | 33.0 |

Myles Turner
He's not a strong rebounder, and playing next to Sabonis isn't going to help that, but what he does provide is league-leading blocks (2.7 last season), the ability to hit 3s (1 per game last season), and not hurt you too much from the free-throw line.

Terry Rozier
Starting alongside Devonte' Graham is going to limit his assist numbers, but that's not going to stop him from getting 30+ minutes a night. He has more value in a punt FG% build.

Eric Bledsoe
We know what we're getting with Bledsoe at this point in his career. A good, solid point guard who shoots at good percentages and is capable of a few more fringe top 50 finishes. His long-term appeal isn't there anymore, but he's still got a few more seasons of good play left in him.

His development is reminding me of Myles Turner. He's still trying to work out how to stay out of foul trouble, and it's hurting his block numbers (averaging 0.9 per game at the time of writing this). Now's an excellent buy-low opportunity since the upside is still there.

Blake Griffin
Added a much-welcomed 3-point shot, making 2.5 per game last season, which is exactly what a player like Blake (who relied heavily on his athleticism) needed to extend his career. It's not enough to offset his lack of STL + BLK numbers, but it'll keep him relevant for the next few seasons.

Tristan has started the season on a tear. How long he can sustain it is up for debate, but you can either ride the hot streak until he goes cold, or trade him.

Yes, Jonas averaged 19.9 PPG in his stint in Memphis last season, but that was without JJJ. With the addition of Clarke, I can't see him playing more than 28 minutes per game. Has some excellent short-term appeal, but he may be on another roster in a few years.

DJ Augustin
Has been replaced by Fultz in the starting lineup, and it doesn't look like he'll be getting his spot back any time soon. There are better options available.

Gary Harris
It's time to accept Harris for what he is - a decent real-life NBA player, but a below-average fantasy player. Try and find a believer and move him while he still has some value.

Matisse Thybulle
Has a great defensive game (3.5 STL, 2.3 BLK in his last season in college), but his offensive game is limited. I'm worried about non-lottery rookies drafted on teams with finals aspirations, but he has the potential to be a defensive specialist rotation player in a few seasons.

DeAndre' Bembry
Bembry hasn't taken the opportunities he has been given so far, and with Atlanta adding Hunter and Reddish it's hard to find a path for big minutes.

Mikal Bridges
I like what Mikal provides long-term as a 3&D specialist. Might not be a big scorer, but he's already elite in a category that's hard to get big numbers for (steals) and has a long career ahead of him in the league.

Landry Shamet
He's getting the playing time, but not doing much with it other than hitting 3s. Hard to see him become fantasy relevant with the current Clippers roster.

Might play a few games towards the end of the season, but don't expect much until the 20-21 season.

Bruce Brown Jr
Detroit is desperate for one of their young players to step-up, and there's a huge hole open in their starting lineup for a SG/SF. He's somebody to keep an eye on to see if he can produce during the season, and could eventually become a rotation-worthy player.
