Keyonte George put up 74 High Score points against the New Orleans Pelicans on Nov. 4.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re approaching the one-month mark of the 2026-27 NBA regular season, and it\u2019s been a rough go for fantasy basketball managers trying to dodge injuries. Case in point: Lakers superstar Luka Don\u010di\u0107 sat out Sunday\u2019s game but still managed to deliver earlier in the week (more on that below).<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re back here, you\u2019re enjoying your second full season of Yahoo High Score fantasy basketball. As always, the top point total from each player each week is what counts toward your final goal. Let\u2019s take a look at the perfect lineup from Week 3 and how the top performers fared. One of the players had a historic performance.<\/p>\n

Week 3 High Score perfect lineup. (Amy Monks)<\/p>\n

More on the top performers<\/p>\n

Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/a>: As it was mentioned above, Don\u010di\u0107 wasn\u2019t able to play on Sunday against the Pistons due to a back injury. But to start the week, Don\u010di\u0107 produced his usual gaudy stat line, scoring 42 points with 7 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals to make this list. If there was a poster child for High Score fantasy, it is Don\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n

Keyonte George<\/a>: George exploded for 39 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and a combined 5 steals and blocks against the Pelicans. Utah struggled in back-to-back games before facing New Orleans, but again, that\u2019s the beauty of High Score \u2014 all it takes is one. He did leave Sunday\u2019s contest with an ankle injury, which is something to monitor.<\/p>\n

Victor Wembanyama<\/a>: The Spurs\u2019 big man made fantasy basketball history by tying Bam Adebayo for the highest point total in High Score with 110. Adebayo\u2019s legendary 83-point game from last season got it done. But Wembanyama\u2019s stat line was a bit wilder: 52 points, 24 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 8 blocks. He almost had a 52-24-10 triple-double with blocks. We may not see another fantasy output like this all season.<\/p>\n

Nikola Joki\u0107<\/a>: The Joker is going to pop up plenty on this list throughout the season. His High Score on the season so far is 85 points, which is low by his lofty standards. The perennial MVP candidate is also dealing with an elbow injury that may hold him out of Monday\u2019s contest to start Week 4. Not good. But Joki\u0107 also collected his third triple-double of the season with a 32-10-11 line against the Raptors.<\/p>\n

Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a>: Antetokounmpo has been one of the more steady options in fantasy basketball so far this season. He has eight double-doubles, including two triple-doubles. The Heat split a California road trip against the Lakers and Clippers, but Antetokounmpo posted 65+ fantasy points in each contest. Managers of the star are excited for the Week 4 schedule \u2014 at Sacramento, at Utah \u2014 to start things off.<\/p>\n

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a>: Things have not gone as planned for the Thunder to start the season. Injuries have piled up with Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace all out long term. Now, Jaylin Williams is on the mend, so the team traded for Nique Clifford via the Kings. But Gilgeous-Alexander has still been a strong fantasy asset (per usual), averaging nearly 30 points per game with decent category coverage. With multiple rotation players out, more opportunities may benefit Gilgeous-Alexander from a fantasy perspective. The two-time MVP will need to continue to step up each game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keyonte George put up 74 High Score points against the New Orleans Pelicans on Nov. 4.
