As the NBA season progresses, the dynamics of player performances continue to evolve, significantly impacting fantasy basketball leagues. Here’s a detailed look at who’s trending up and who’s losing ground this week.

Players on the Rise

  • Luka Doncic (PG, Los Angeles Lakers): Doncic has been pivotal in the Lakers' recent winning streak, showing exemplary stats across the board.
  • Derrick White (PG/SG, Boston Celtics): White’s explosive performance has solidified his role even when the team’s stars rest.

  • Ty Jerome (PG, Cleveland Cavaliers): Jerome’s consistent performance off the bench makes him a valuable addition in deeper leagues.

Players Struggling

  • Tyrese Maxey (PG/SG, Philadelphia 76ers): With injuries plaguing him, Maxey’s season might be winding down prematurely.
  • Jalen Green (SG, Houston Rockets): Green’s shooting slump is causing headaches for fantasy managers.
  • Mikal Bridges (SG/SF, New York Knicks): Despite his durability, Bridges’ recent point production has been subpar.
  • Paul George (SF/PF, Philadelphia 76ers): George’s nagging injuries raise concerns about his availability for the rest of the season.
