The Hawks\u2019 Jalen Johnson climbs back into the top five of the fantasy power rankings heading into Week 15.<\/p>\n
It was a fairly unsurprising Week 14 from a fantasy sense, as three of our top five this week are also in the top-10 fantasy rankings for the season. We also have Ja Morant<\/a>, who\u2019s now set for another multi-game absence due to an elbow injury, holding on to his No. 3 spot from last week despite having played just one game.\u00a0<\/p>\n The following players averaged the most fantasy points per game last week (one-game minimum):<\/p>\n Last Week: 71.3 FP\/G Season Rank: 2 (64.9 FP\/G)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Don\u010di\u0107 put together a highly productive week that saw him stuff the stat sheet in signature fashion, as he averaged 34.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 2.0 steals across 38 minutes per game over three contests. The superstar guard shot an efficient 49.2% in the process, contributed a minimum of a double-double in each game, and tallied multiple steals in two of them. Don\u010di\u0107 also got to the line a whopping 37 times during that stretch and converted 32 of those visits into points, making it a stellar all-around week befitting the No. 1 slotting.<\/p>\n Last Week: 61.2 FP\/G Season Rank: 6 (54.8 FP\/G)\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Johnson left some recent struggles firmly in the rearview mirror in Week 14, as he looked back to his old self while nearly leading Atlanta to a 3-0 week. The Hawks dropped a two-point decision to the Bucks to open Week 14, but Johnson\u2019s 28-point, 16-rebound double-double in that game was the start of his emergence from a three-game downturn. He followed up that effort with another pair of double-doubles that also included tallies of eight and nine assists, and he also shot 49.2%, including 40.0% from 3-point range, over the entirety of the period.\u00a0<\/p>\n Last Week: 61.0 FP\/G Season Rank: 35 (42.9 FP\/G)\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As already mentioned, Morant is back on the shelf, but the star guard made his presence felt in his one time on the floor in Week 14. Ja faced off with Johnson and the Hawks on Wednesday and made excellent use of his 30 minutes, posting a 23-point, 12-assist double-double that also included two rebounds, a steal and three blocks in a narrow 124-122 defeat for Memphis. Morant complemented his solid 7-for-15 showing from the floor with a perfect 8-for-8 performance from the free-throw line, once again offering a reminder of what he can offer when he isn\u2019t battling the injury bug.<\/p>\n Last Week: 60.6 FP\/G Season Rank: 27 (44.8 FP\/G)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Embiid had one of those deceptive weeks when one can almost forget the injury issues. The big man sat out the second leg of a back-to-back against the Suns on Tuesday for injury management, but he was otherwise in vintage form while averaging 33.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists. The trio of 30+ point tallies were the byproduct of extremely efficient shooting, as Embiid knocked down 57.9% of his shots overall, including 55.6% of his attempts from behind the arc.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Last Week: 59.6 FP\/G Season Rank: 4 (57.1 FP\/G)\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Maxey was right alongside Embiid during Philly\u2019s 2-2 week, although he took a bit of a step back in his usage with his teammate enjoying such a productive stretch. Maxey finished with averages of 26.8 points, 7.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and an impressive 4.0 steals while logging a robust 41.0 minutes per contest across four games. Some shooting struggles \u2013 he found the net on only 27.6% of his 7.3 3-point attempts per contest \u2013 prevented him from an even bigger week, although Maxey did help himself plenty by draining 93.8% of his 16 free-throw attempts.<\/p>\n This week\u2019s preview:\u00a0<\/p>\n The following players are top fantasy point producers and play at least three games next week with fewer than two matchups against top-10 defenses:<\/p>\n Luka Don\u010di\u0107, Lakers<\/a> (64.9 FP\/G) \u2013 @CHI, @CLE, @WAS, @NYK<\/p>\n Tyrese Maxey, 76ers<\/a> (57.1 FP\/G) \u2013 @CHA, MIL, SAC, NOP<\/p>\n Jaylen Brown, Celtics<\/a> (50.6 FP\/G) \u2013 POR, ATL, SAC, MIL<\/p>\n Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers<\/a> (50.6 FP\/G) \u2013 ORL, LAL, @PHO, @POR<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-68-784x573.png\")
