That should change in 2021 after another dominant performance last season. It’s hard to imagine, but Dame has been undervalued in fantasy hoops over the last few years. 1 overall in points leagues, where his value is at its highest. His biggest knocks are turnovers, FT%, and lack of defensive numbers, but improvements in those categories could give his value an even bigger boost. He carried Dallas on his back to a Game 7 showdown with the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, and he led Slovenia to a quarterfinal appearance in the Olympics. Over the last two seasons, Doncic has averaged 28.3 points, 8.7 dimes, and 8.7 boards while posting some monster triple-doubles and signature games in the process. One of basketball’s biggest stars should open the season as an MVP favorite after what he’s been able to accomplish in his brief NBA career. He’s got a stable floor because of his stellar shooting and steals, and his ceiling remains sky-high. Despite (likely) playing more games alongside Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant this season, Harden should still be viewed as an elite first-round talent who will play the majority of his minutes at point guard. Harden’s move from Houston to Brooklyn may have initially been viewed as a downgrade for fantasy purposes, but the Beard thrived in his new locale, averaging a near triple-double thanks to 8.5 boards and 10.9 dimes. Curry will have to put this team on his back yet again, so I would expect plenty of monstrous stat lines once again.
Golden State gets a little help in the scoring department with the addition of Otto Porter, but I’m not counting on Klay Thompson playing at anywhere near 100% after being off for the better part of two seasons. Last season, Chef Curry led the league in scoring (32.0 PPG) and 3-pointers (career-high 5.3 p/g) while racking up over five rebounds and assists per contest. There’s a clear argument to be made for Curry at No.1, so if you prefer him over Jokic, I can’t fault you.
The only other player who could challenge him for this honor is Steph Curry, but Jokic’s triple-double upside gives him the edge for me. The reigning MVP has a unique skillset as a point center that should place him atop the fantasy rankings for the 2021-22 season. Most incredibly, he did all of this from the center position. The Joker wasn’t kidding around when he stepped on the court last season, averaging a monstrous 26/10/8 while nailing 1.3 triples and shooting 56.6% from the field. So, if you’re looking for some fantasy hoops reading material, you’ve come to the right place. Below, you’ll find my top 250 with notes for every single player. Taking all of those factors into consideration, along with some updates based on tinkering and research, I updated that top 150 and added another 100 players just for good measure. We’ve learned more about injury situations, potential starting lineups, and players who are opposed to getting the COVID-19 vaccine. I posted my top 150 rankings just over a month ago, but information has changed since then. Nikola Jokic, the top fantasy player from 2020-21, looks to repeat his performance this season.
