There have been so many fantastic fantasy performances to start the NBA season, and plenty of players have a legitimate case to be in our weekly Fantasy Power Rankings. Our most recent top 10 has one new name on the list, with plenty of stars moving up from last week.

10. Jamal Murray, Denver Nuggets

Last Week: NR↑

Murray has been extremely underrated in his hot start to the season. After a rough season-opener, he exploded in the scoring department, averaging 28.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists over the next nine games. He already has five 30-point performances and a 42-point masterclass, helping him rank eighth (tied with Ty Jerome) in the NBA in scoring right now. Similar to how fans view him in Denver, Murray is the perfect second option to have in fantasy leagues with an average of 48.4 High Score points.

Last Week: 9

Maxey didn’t have his best week, but that just shows how sky-high his expectations are now. Over the last seven days, Maxey averaged 22.7 points and five assists on 51.2% shooting. He only attempted an average of 14.3 shots during that span. We expect him to increase that closer to the 18.5 field-goal attempts he’s averaged this season, meaning more points could be had in the foreseeable future.

Last Week: 10↑

More of the same from last week: Sengun already has six double-doubles in 10 games, averaging 21.1 points, 9.4 rebounds and 7.9 assists. His do-it-all play style has been the main reason he’s seventh in the NBA in High Score points (52.9). The Rockets are an impressive 9-3, and Kevin Durant isn’t necessarily doing Kevin Durant things every night. Houston is getting more from its young core, spearheaded by Sengun.

Last Week: 8↑

Tatum had a big week where he filled the stat sheet by averaging 25 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists in the Celtics’ four contests. The Celtics are red hot, having won five in a row behind their five-time All-NBA forward. He continues to fit right in the middle of our top-10 Fantasy Power Rankings.

Last Week: 7↑

It’s unheard of for a 19-year-old in his second NBA season to take a leap as big as Flagg’s. Dallas is 7-4 while he’s putting up 25.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.2 steals. His defense and rebounding have been stellar as expected, but the athletic forward is generating more points for teammates. Flagg most recently dropped an incredible 43 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 stocks in Monday’s win over Indiana. Something to note: Flagg is riding a four-game double-double streak.

Last Week: 5

There is no doubt that Gilgeous-Alexander can score with the very best in the NBA. He’s already recorded 30 or more points in six of his 12 games this season. The question is how Gilgeous-Alexander will rack up assists without Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace and Jalen Williams. In four games over the last week, the reigning Kia Most Valuable Player averaged 28.8 points but just 4.5 assists. He averaged 6.6 assists last season, which is what fantasy managers were probably expecting before all the Thunder injuries. Unless he is able to rack up more assists or rebounds, this is probably the ceiling for him.

Last Week: 4

After starting the season 0-4, the Heat are climbing toward .500 at 5-6, and through it all, Antetokounmpo has been a consistent top-five fantasy option at 56.5 High Score points. The 30-point double-doubles are so routine that it’s hard to talk about anything else. Klay Thompson, Miami’s top spot-up shooter, is looking improved from last season despite being 36 years old. If the team’s wings can continue to knock down shots, Antetokounmpo’s assists could increase, which could eventually lead him into the top three in our power rankings. Keep an eye on that offense.

3. Nikola Jokić, Denver Nuggets

Last Week: 3

Jokić had a prototypical Jokić week, averaging 23.7 points, 13.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2.3 stocks in three games. The greatest passing big man of all time continues to nearly average a triple-double. Jokić continues to deserve his third-ranked spot, but with the two players ahead of him off to historic starts, it’s hard to justify putting him higher than three.

2. Luka Dončić, Los Angeles Lakers

Last Week: 2

It’s wild to say that back-to-back 32-point performances is slightly underwhelming for Dončić, but that’s what happens when you come out of the gates looking that good. Los Angeles’ superstar is still averaging 38.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.6 assists while leading the league in High Score points (69.6). The Lakers are 11-2 while leading the NBA in points, field-goal percentage, effective field-goal percentage and offensive rating. It’s genuinely a toss-up between Dončić and Victor Wembanyama for the No. 1 fantasy spot, as both are on pace to have some of the greatest seasons in league history. Time will tell if that holds up.

1. Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs

Last Week: 1

Wembanyama continues to deserve the No. 1 spot in our rankings. He has the most total High Score points this season with 772. In four games this week, Wembanyama averaged 32.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.3 blocks. He shot a strong 69.1% from the field and has been our Fantasy Player of the Day five times in his first 12 games. Wembanyama continues to be the best player in fantasy basketball and should have been selected No. 1 in all league formats.
