Fantasy Basketball Weekly Report: Top Rising Stars and Falling Players to Watch

Discover the top risers and fallers in fantasy basketball this week, with key insights and analysis to help you dominate your league.

Risers

Luka Doncic, PG, Los Angeles Lakers (100% rostered)

After a slow start with the Lakers, Doncic has returned to his MVP-caliber form. His recent performances include a 32-point, 10-rebound, 7-assist game against the Nuggets and a triple-double against the Mavericks. With the Lakers aiming for a championship, Doncic is poised to be a fantasy juggernaut.

Tyrese Haliburton, PG/SG, Indiana Pacers (100% rostered)

Haliburton has been on fire, averaging 26 points, 12 assists, and 2.5 steals over his last four games. His efficiency (62% FG) and ability to fill the stat sheet make him a must-start in all formats.

Josh Giddey, PG/SG/SF, Chicago Bulls (89.5% rostered)

Giddey has been a triple-double threat nightly, with averages of 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists over his last four games. His versatility and efficiency (58% FG) are driving the Bulls' playoff push.

Ty Jerome, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers (12% rostered)

Jerome has capitalized on Garland's injuries, posting impressive stats off the bench. With averages of 12 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds in limited minutes, he’s a valuable pickup in deeper leagues.

Bol Bol, PF/C, Phoenix Suns (11% rostered)

Bol has been a revelation, averaging 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks over his last two games. Despite fluctuating minutes, his upside makes him a high-ceiling option.

Fallers

Domantas Sabonis, PF/C, Sacramento Kings (100% rostered)

Sabonis has struggled to score, failing to exceed 16 points in five of his last six games. With DeRozan and LaVine soaking up shots, his fantasy value has taken a hit.

Ja Morant, PG, Memphis Grizzlies (99% rostered)

Morant's inconsistency and poor shooting (40% FG) have plagued him this season. With Bane and Jackson Jr. taking over the offense, his fantasy impact has diminished.

Rui Hachimura, SF/PF, Los Angeles Lakers (37% rostered)

Hachimura’s role has shrunk with Doncic and LeBron dominating the ball. Scoring 6 or fewer points in two of his last four games, he’s a risky play in fantasy.

De'Andre Hunter, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers (30% rostered)

Once a top candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, Hunter’s production has dipped in Cleveland. With limited touches, his value has cratered.

Stay ahead of the curve with these insights to optimize your fantasy basketball lineup!
