The Heat\u2019s Bam Adebayo is riding a streak of eight straight games with 20 or more points.<\/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
[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 Here\u2019s a breakdown of the biggest risers and fallers through the 15th 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 Risers \u2014 Will the deadline spoil things?<\/p>\n Player Andrew Nembhard Bam Adebayo Paolo Banchero Andrew Nembhard \u2014 G, Indiana Pacers<\/a><\/p>\n 57th overall (\u2b06\ufe0f 14)<\/p>\n Nembhard enters February playing his best ball of the season. He averaged 18.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game while shooting 49% from the field. He\u2019s been a top-60 player in High Score all year. Lately though, he\u2019s been even better, ranking 30th over the past month, posting 43 fantasy points per game. The Pacers could be sellers at the deadline, but Nembhard has established himself as a key part of Indy\u2019s future.<\/p>\n I have some concerns about him being load-managed as the season progresses, but it\u2019s probably more likely to occur with 31-year-old Pascal Siakam<\/a>. Still, Nembhard has been a reliable and consistent point guard all season and fantasy managers can expect him to be a steady top-50, top-60ish player across formats.<\/p>\n Bam Adebayo \u2014 FC, Miami Heat<\/a><\/p>\n 54th overall (\u2b06\ufe0f 12)<\/p>\n I was hard on Bam a few weeks ago. He landed on my fallers list in Weeks 12 and 13, but he\u2019s finally turning things around. Adebayo is riding a streak of eight straight games with 20+ points, recording a double-double in five of those games. He\u2019s been a top-25 asset in High Score over the past two weeks, averaging 45 fantasy points per game.<\/p>\n With Miami dealing with so many backcourt injuries, Bam has been more aggressive offensively. He\u2019s scoring more because he\u2019s putting up at least four more shots per game in his last 10 outings, while also racking up more steals and assists than in previous months.<\/p>\n I expect Bam to continue powering the Heat, but who knows what could happen if Miami becomes a serious contender in the Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> sweepstakes.<\/p>\n Paolo Banchero \u2014 FC, Orlando Magic<\/a><\/p>\n 29th overall (\u2b06\ufe0f 8)<\/p>\n Feels like no one is appreciating what Banchero has been doing lately. It\u2019s probably because the Magic are underachieving, but fantasy-wise, Banchero\u2019s been in beast mode. In his past six contests, Banchero\u2019s averaging 26 points, 9 boards and 4 dimes, totaling 47 fantasy points per game.<\/p>\n He\u2019s been very efficient by his standards, shooting 51% from the field, 50% from beyond the arc and 77% from the line. That efficiency helped him climb to 21st in High Score over that span. He\u2019s been getting to the line at will, getting up at least 10 free throw attempts in five straight games. A top-30 finish is well within reach if the Magic stay quiet at the deadline.<\/p>\n Fallers \u2014 Paul George and more<\/p>\n Player Paul George Norman Powell Ivica Zubac Paul George \u2014 FC, Philadelphia 76ers<\/a><\/p>\n Unranked (\u2b07\ufe0f 15)<\/p>\n PG\u2019s off the board entirely. The NBA handed him a 25-game suspension on Jan. 31 for violating the anti-drug policy, and he won\u2019t be eligible to return until late March \u2014 when Philly has just 10 games left in the regular season.<\/p>\n No production, no ranking. Simple as that. Even when George comes back, there\u2019s not enough runway to crack back into the High Score 100. Fantasy managers who were holding should cut bait and stream that roster spot. The season\u2019s essentially over for him.<\/p>\n Norman Powell \u2014 G\/FC, Miami Heat<\/a><\/p>\n 63rd overall (\u2b07\ufe0f 9)<\/p>\n I like Norm, but he\u2019s been struggling. He hasn\u2019t had a 40-fantasy point game since Jan. 17 and in his last six games, he\u2019s averaging less than 30 fantasy points per game. That ranks 118th over the past 14 days.<\/p>\n He\u2019s been on the injury report with a back injury more than we\u2019d like to see recently, so he\u2019s a player who will likely benefit from some time off around the All-Star break.<\/p>\n Ivica Zubac \u2014 FC, Los Angeles Clippers<\/a><\/p>\n 90th overall (\u2b07\ufe0f 6)<\/p>\n Zubac does two things really well: rebound and score around the rim. The problem is that\u2019s basically all he does, and recently, even those numbers have dipped. He averaged 12.3 points and 10.2 rebounds in 28 minutes per game in January.<\/p>\n In High Score, you need more than just points and boards to separate yourself, especially at the center position. Zubac isn\u2019t giving you many assists or stocks and when his scoring and rebounding drop even slightly, there\u2019s nothing else propping up his fantasy value.<\/p>\n He\u2019s been averaging just 28.7 fantasy points over the past two weeks and his performance has dropped him to 91st overall on the season. Let\u2019s hope James Harden doesn\u2019t get traded from the Clippers, because their two-man game has been pretty symbiotic.<\/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 LAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 8<\/p>\n 9 POR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 9<\/p>\n 10 BOS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 11 MIL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 11<\/p>\n 12 HOU\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 12<\/p>\n 13 CLE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 13<\/p>\n 14 MIN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,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 CHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG,SF<\/p>\n 18<\/p>\n 19 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 19<\/p>\n 20 DEN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 20<\/p>\n 21 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/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 BKN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 28<\/p>\n 29 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF,SF<\/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 UTH\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 34<\/p>\n 35 HOU\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 35<\/p>\n 36 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF<\/p>\n 36<\/p>\n 37 DET\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 37<\/p>\n 38 CLE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 38<\/p>\n 39 PHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 39<\/p>\n 40 OKC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 40<\/p>\n 41 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 41<\/p>\n 42 NOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF,SF<\/p>\n 42<\/p>\n 43 NOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 43<\/p>\n 44 WAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 44<\/p>\n 45 DAL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 45<\/p>\n 46 TOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF,PF<\/p>\n 46<\/p>\n 47 SAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 47<\/p>\n 48 BOS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 48<\/p>\n 49 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 49<\/p>\n 50 POR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 50<\/p>\n 51 ATL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 51<\/p>\n 52 OKC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 52<\/p>\n 53 MIL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 53<\/p>\n 54 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 54<\/p>\n 55 MEM\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 55<\/p>\n 56 ATL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 56<\/p>\n 57 IND\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 57<\/p>\n 58 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 58<\/p>\n 59 TOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 59<\/p>\n 60 POR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 60<\/p>\n 61 CHA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 61<\/p>\n 62 CHA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 62<\/p>\n 63 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF<\/p>\n 63<\/p>\n 64 BKN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 64<\/p>\n 65 CHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 65<\/p>\n 66 CHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 66<\/p>\n 67 MIL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 67<\/p>\n 68 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF<\/p>\n 68<\/p>\n 69 ATL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 69<\/p>\n 70 TOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 70<\/p>\n 71 UTH\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 71<\/p>\n 72 CLE\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 72<\/p>\n 73 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 73<\/p>\n 74 WAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 74<\/p>\n 75 WAS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 75<\/p>\n 76 MEM\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 76<\/p>\n 77 BOS\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG<\/p>\n 77<\/p>\n 78 CHA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,SG<\/p>\n 78<\/p>\n 79 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG,SF<\/p>\n 79<\/p>\n 80 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 80<\/p>\n 81 ATL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,C<\/p>\n 81<\/p>\n 82 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 82<\/p>\n 83 NYK\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 83<\/p>\n 84 PHI\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 84<\/p>\n 85 MIN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 85<\/p>\n 86 NOR\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C,PF<\/p>\n 86<\/p>\n 87 DEN\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SF,PF<\/p>\n 87<\/p>\n 88 MEM\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 88<\/p>\n 89 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF<\/p>\n 89<\/p>\n 90 LAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 90<\/p>\n 91 SAC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 91<\/p>\n 92 OKC\u00a0\u2013\u00a0C<\/p>\n 92<\/p>\n 93 PHO\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 93<\/p>\n 94 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 94<\/p>\n 95 PHO\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 95<\/p>\n 96 IND\u00a0\u2013\u00a0SG,SF<\/p>\n 96<\/p>\n 97 ORL\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SG<\/p>\n 97<\/p>\n 98 MIA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PF,SF,SG<\/p>\n 98<\/p>\n 99 PHO\u00a0\u2013\u00a0PG,SF,SG<\/p>\n 99<\/p>\n
