The Trail Blazers\u2019 Donovan Clingan averaged 41.5 fantasy points in Week 16, including three straight double-doubles.<\/p>\n
The High Score 100 \u2014 the top-100 players in Yahoo\u2019s newest fantasy basketball format \u2014 is a running reflection of year-to-date performance and trending production. Each weekly update captures who\u2019s actually delivering value and who\u2019s fading.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a breakdown of the biggest risers and fallers through the 16th week of fantasy basketball<\/a>, right before the All-Star break \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 Risers<\/p>\n Player Donovan Clingan Dillon Brooks Brandon Ingram Donovan Clingan \u2014 FC, Portland Trail Blazers<\/a><\/p>\n 90th overall (\u2b06\ufe0f 10)<\/p>\n Clingan\u2019s having a moment. The second-year big man is ranked 48th over the last 14 days and smashed in Week 16, averaging 41.5 fantasy points per game while rattling off three straight double-doubles through Feb. 7. Over a stretch of seven games, his numbers rose to 12 points, 15 boards, 2 assists, and 2 blocks per game. That\u2019s exactly the kind of production that moves you up in High Score rankings.<\/p>\n Clingan\u2019s been a force on the glass all season, but with rebounds devalued in High Score, fantasy managers needed to see more from him as a scoring threat and shot blocker \u2014 and that\u2019s where he\u2019s been steadily improving as the All-Star break approaches. While I don\u2019t expect his minutes to clear 30 a night, if he keeps this up, he\u2019ll comfortably remain inside the top 100.<\/p>\n Dillon Brooks \u2013 FC, Phoenix Suns<\/a><\/p>\n 85th overall (\u2b06\ufe0f8)<\/p>\n With Stephen Curry<\/a> out through the All-Star break, Brooks could earn his first All-Star Game selection in 2026. He\u2019s in the midst of a career year, being one of the primary drivers of the Suns\u2019 success thus far.<\/p>\n Over the past seven games, though, his numbers have spiked to an average of 37.8 fantasy points per game, good for 50th overall in High Score. On Jan. 29, he scored a season-best 62 fantasy points by way of his first 40-point game against one of the best defenses in the league (Detroit Pistons).<\/p>\n Brooks continues to shine as a scorer without being penalized for his inefficiency or poor assist-to-turnover ratio, making him a strong player for this format.<\/p>\n Brandon Ingram \u2014 G\/FC, Toronto Raptors<\/a><\/p>\n 41st overall (\u2b06\ufe0f 5)<\/p>\n BI\u2019s averaging 42 fantasy points per game over the last 14 days, ranking inside the top 35 in High Score during that stretch. For the year, he sits 47th, but the trend is clearly upward \u2014 exactly what you want to see heading into the second half.<\/p>\n Over his last six games, he\u2019s putting up around 25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and over 1.5 stocks per game. The five-spot climb is modest, but it reflects his consistent performance as a top-50 player this season.<\/p>\n Fallers<\/p>\n Player Trae Young Ja Morant Lauri Markkanen Trae Young \u2014 G, Washington Wizards<\/a><\/p>\n 100th overall (\u2b07\ufe0f 25)<\/p>\n Trae\u2019s on the verge of falling off the rankings entirely. He\u2019ll be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, but with Anthony Davis<\/a> done for the season, it\u2019s increasingly unlikely we\u2019ll see Trae again this year. The Wizards are trying hard for a top pick, leaving little incentive to rush him back.<\/p>\n I\u2019m keeping him at 100 for now \u2014 barely hanging on \u2014 but if we don\u2019t get anything concrete post-break, he\u2019s gone. Fantasy managers holding should be preparing to move on.<\/p>\n Ja Morant \u2014 G, Memphis Grizzlies<\/a><\/p>\n 75th overall (\u2b07\ufe0f 20)<\/p>\n Ja\u2019s situation is looking just as murky as Trae\u2019s. He\u2019ll also be re-evaluated after the break, but Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman said it\u2019ll take a medical determination for Ja to return. Don\u2019t count on that coming.<\/p>\n Memphis traded Jaren Jackson Jr.<\/a>, lost nine of its last 11 games and clearly doesn\u2019t care about winning. The Grizz put Ja on the trade block, but received minimal interest. There\u2019s no reason to bring him back now that Ty Jerome<\/a> and Scotty Pippen Jr.<\/a> are back, plus Cam Spencer<\/a> is still in the rotation.<\/p>\n The 20-spot drop reflects reality \u2014 Ja\u2019s probably done. And without more clarity, he could find himself off the list by Week 18, similar to Trae.<\/p>\n Lauri Markkanen \u2014 FC, Utah Jazz<\/a><\/p>\n 53rd overall (\u2b07\ufe0f 19)<\/p>\n Lauri\u2019s getting benched in third quarters. He\u2019s played under 30 minutes in four of his last five games, and the Jazz are clearly managing his workload with an eye toward the lottery. <\/p>\n I\u2019m getting ahead of this now because post-All-Star break, expect more rest days and \u201cload management\u201d games. Utah has no incentive to play Lauri heavy minutes, which directly hurts his fantasy value. The 19-spot slide is just the beginning if this continues.<\/p>\n Complete High Score 100 rankings<\/p>\n The High Score 100 is a running reflection of year-to-date performance and trending production.<\/p>\n # 1 DEN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 1<\/p>\n 2 LAL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n 3 DET\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n 4 PHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n 5 OKC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 5<\/p>\n 6 SAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 6<\/p>\n 7 ATL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF<\/p>\n 7<\/p>\n 8 MIL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 8<\/p>\n 9 CLE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 9<\/p>\n 10 BOS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 11 HOU\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 11<\/p>\n 12 CLE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 12<\/p>\n 13 MIN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 13<\/p>\n 14 POR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 14<\/p>\n 15 TOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 15<\/p>\n 16 LAL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 16<\/p>\n 17 PHO\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 17<\/p>\n 18 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 18<\/p>\n 19 DEN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 19<\/p>\n 20 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 20<\/p>\n 21 CHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG,SF<\/p>\n 21<\/p>\n 22 LAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF<\/p>\n 22<\/p>\n 23 LAL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 23<\/p>\n 24 GSW\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 24<\/p>\n 25 UTH\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 25<\/p>\n 26 MIN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 26<\/p>\n 27 CHA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 27<\/p>\n 28 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF,SF<\/p>\n 28<\/p>\n 29 BKN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 29<\/p>\n 30 IND\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF,SF<\/p>\n 30<\/p>\n 31 HOU\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 31<\/p>\n 32 DAL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 32<\/p>\n 33 SAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 33<\/p>\n 34 HOU\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 34<\/p>\n 35 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF<\/p>\n 35<\/p>\n 36 DET\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 36<\/p>\n 37 CLE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 37<\/p>\n 38 PHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 38<\/p>\n 39 OKC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 39<\/p>\n 40 NOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF,SF<\/p>\n 40<\/p>\n 41 TOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF,PF<\/p>\n 41<\/p>\n 42 NOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 42<\/p>\n 43 WAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 43<\/p>\n 44 SAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 44<\/p>\n 45 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 45<\/p>\n 46 BOS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 46<\/p>\n 47 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 47<\/p>\n 48 POR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 48<\/p>\n 49 ATL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 49<\/p>\n 50 OKC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 50<\/p>\n 51 MIL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 51<\/p>\n 52 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 52<\/p>\n 53 UTH\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 53<\/p>\n 54 ATL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 54<\/p>\n 55 IND\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 55<\/p>\n 56 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 56<\/p>\n 57 TOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 57<\/p>\n 58 POR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 58<\/p>\n 59 CHA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 59<\/p>\n 60 CHA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 60<\/p>\n 61 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF<\/p>\n 61<\/p>\n 62 BKN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 62<\/p>\n 63 CHA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 63<\/p>\n 64 BOS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 64<\/p>\n 65 MIL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 65<\/p>\n 66 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF<\/p>\n 66<\/p>\n 67 ATL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 67<\/p>\n 68 TOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 68<\/p>\n 69 UTH\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 69<\/p>\n 70 LAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 70<\/p>\n 71 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 71<\/p>\n 72 WAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 72<\/p>\n 73 UTH\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 73<\/p>\n 74 BOS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 74<\/p>\n 75 MEM\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 75<\/p>\n 76 CHA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,SG<\/p>\n 76<\/p>\n 77 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG,SF<\/p>\n 77<\/p>\n 78 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 78<\/p>\n 79 GSW\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 79<\/p>\n 80 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 80<\/p>\n 81 PHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 81<\/p>\n 82 MIN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 82<\/p>\n 83 NOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 83<\/p>\n 84 DEN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 84<\/p>\n 85 PHO\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 85<\/p>\n 86 OKC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 86<\/p>\n 87 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 87<\/p>\n 88 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 88<\/p>\n 89 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 89<\/p>\n 90 POR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 90<\/p>\n 91 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 91<\/p>\n 92 CLE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 92<\/p>\n 93 PHO\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 93<\/p>\n 94 LAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF<\/p>\n 94<\/p>\n 95 PHO\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 95<\/p>\n 96 IND\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 96<\/p>\n 97 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 97<\/p>\n 98 MEM\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 98<\/p>\n 99 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF<\/p>\n 99<\/p>\n 100 WAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 100<\/p>\n
