Each weekly update captures who\u2019s actually delivering value and who\u2019s fading.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of the biggest risers and fallers through the 10th week of fantasy basketball \u2014 with the complete High Score 100 at the bottom of the article. I\u2019ll be updating my rankings every Tuesday throughout the fantasy basketball season.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com\/nba\/signup\/?ncid=100003119\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">High Score is a new way to play Fantasy Basketball on Yahoo with simple rosters and scoring. It\u2019s not too late to create or join a league<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>Before we get into it, the fantasy community is breathing a sigh of relief. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/203999\/nikola-jokic\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nikola Joki\u0107<\/a> hyperextended his left knee on Monday and is expected to miss at least four weeks, per reports. The injury comes on the heels of Joki\u0107 posting the most prolific fantasy performance of the season, dropping 108 High Score points after demolishing Minnesota on Christmas Day. Because the injury occurred after Week 10 rankings locked, Joki\u0107 holds steady in this week\u2019s update. But for managers scrambling to fill that void, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/202685\/jonas-valanciunas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jonas Valan\u010di\u016bnas<\/a> is the clear next-man-up add. He\u2019ll absorb a steady diet of frontcourt minutes and touches while Joki\u0107 is sidelined.<\/p>\n<p>Risers \u2014 from breakouts to comebacks<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/1631221\/collin-gillespie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Collin Gillespie \u2013 G, Phoenix Suns<\/a><\/p>\n<p>91st overall (\u2b06\ufe0f 49)<\/p>\n<p>This one came out of nowhere. Gillespie vaults from No. 140 to No. 91 and earns a rightful spot among the week\u2019s biggest risers. Since sliding into the starting lineup in late November, he\u2019s been a problem for opponents \u2014 averaging 17.2 points, 5.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and a pair of stocks per game over his last 13 games.<\/p>\n<p>Gillespie has been a must-add across formats for the production he\u2019s providing in points, rebounds and assists from the guard spot. He\u2019s fearless, efficient and thriving in an expanded role for Phoenix. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/1630224\/jalen-green\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jalen Green<\/a> still sidelined, Gillespie\u2019s delivering top-100 value in High Score this season and over the past two weeks, he\u2019s leveled up to top-40. Fantasy managers should keep riding the wave until that changes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/1628991\/jaren-jackson-jr\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jaren Jackson Jr. \u2013 FC, Memphis Grizzlies<\/a><\/p>\n<p>82nd overall (\u2b06\ufe0f 14)<\/p>\n<p>Just a couple of weeks ago, JJJ was on my fallers list. Now, he\u2019s climbing again. He\u2019s found life, averaging 46.2 fantasy points over the past two weeks, ranking in the top-25 in High Score. After posting consecutive 50+ fantasy-point games, he\u2019s finally looking like the player managers drafted \u2014 active defensively and hitting 3-pointers while showing more effort on the glass.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s averaging 22.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.7 blocks over his past six games, and his fantasy stock is trending back toward early-round territory. Still, I\u2019d entertain selling because if he\u2019s not blocking shots, JJJ\u2019s value is limited to points and 3-pointers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/202695\/kawhi-leonard\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kawhi Leonard \u2013 G\/FC, LA Clippers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>22nd overall (\u2b06\ufe0f 13)<\/p>\n<p>What a week. Kawhi dropped a career-high 55 points in a win over Detroit on Sunday\u2014 adding 11 boards, 5 steals and 3 blocks for good measure. He averaged 41.3 points per game across Week 10, and it\u2019s clear this new Clippers version requires him to be more aggressive offensively.<\/p>\n<p>Kawhi is backing it up by pacing toward a career high in points per game. He\u2019s been the second-best player in per-game performance over the past two weeks, averaging 64.6 fantasy points in High Score.<\/p>\n<p>Fallers \u2014 same names, same problems<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/1629656\/quentin-grimes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Quentin Grimes \u2013 G\/FC, Philadelphia 76ers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>117th overall (\u2b07\ufe0f 27)<\/p>\n<p>For the second straight week, Grimes lands in the fallers section. His scoring has cratered, down to 10.1 points on 35% shooting in December. There\u2019s not enough volume available in a reserve role at the moment with the Sixers stars finally healthy(ish).<\/p>\n<p>While I\u2019d still hold Grimes in 12-team, 9-cat leagues, fantasy managers can safely move on in High Score.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/1626167\/myles-turner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Myles Turner \u2013 FC, Milwaukee Bucks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>115th overall (\u2b07\ufe0f 18)<\/p>\n<p>Turner\u2019s been beyond underwhelming. He finally broke out of his slump on Monday, scoring 43 fantasy points. However, this is a Week 10 update, and in three games last week, he didn\u2019t eclipse 27 fantasy points.<\/p>\n<p>Having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/203507\/giannis-antetokounmpo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> back in the lineup should help his fantasy value moving forward, but tread lightly because Turner is still shooting a career-low 42% from the field, causing his points to drop to 12.6 PPG, his lowest in the past four seasons. Turner remains an asset in all formats because of his blocks, but he\u2019s becoming less of a difference-maker in High Score.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/1629028\/deandre-ayton\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deandre Ayton \u2013 FC, Los Angeles Lakers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>110th overall (\u2b07\ufe0f 15)<\/p>\n<p>Ayton\u2019s slide continues as he drops from No. 95 to No. 110. He\u2019s been too inconsistent on a nightly basis, making it hard to trust putting him into your lineups on any given night. Ayton\u2019s been a low-end double-double guy all year, and that\u2019s not particularly valuable in High Score, with rebounds only netting 1 point.<\/p>\n<p>The only hope would be Ayton picking up his scoring, assist rate or stocks, which is a lot to expect. Silver lining \u2014 over the past five games without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/player\/1630559\/austin-reaves\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Austin Reaves<\/a>, Ayton has played much better. Still, I wouldn\u2019t be mad if fantasy managers decided to drop him for a hotter waiver pickup, though.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/fantasy\/article\/the-high-score-100-the-biggest-rankings-risers-and-fallers-as-we-navigate-week-11-in-fantasy-basketball-184058253.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Complete High Score 100 rankings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The High Score 100 is a running reflection of year-to-date performance and trending production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since joining the Suns\u2019 starting lineup in late November, Collin Gillespie has been a must-add across fantasy formats.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":381384,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,590,205213,85],"class_list":["post-381383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-nba-fantasy-yahoo-high-score-top-100-rankings-week-11","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
