2025-26 Fantasy Basketball Top 200 Rankings: Paul George continues his ascent<\/a><\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n While Joel Embiid\u2019s return has been huge for fantasy basketball, so has Paul George\u2019s. <\/p>\n STOCK UPPaul George \u2014 SG\/SF\/PF, Sixers<\/p>\n PG-13 may very well be back. How back? Well, the accomplished veteran wing has tallied at least 20 points in three of his last four games, including a recent 35-point performance in which he went 7-of-10 from beyond the arc and led the Sixers in scoring. George has also been solid as a passer, leading to solid fantasy production recently, despite the stocks not being there. But arguably, the most important stat to stress is that he\u2019s logged at least 30 minutes in each of the last four games. We\u2019ll just need his body to hold up a little bit longer before getting overly optimistic about his ceiling going forward. Nonetheless, he\u2019s currently healthy and has looked here in December. Stock up.<\/p>\n Kyle Kuzma \u2014 SF\/PF, Bucks<\/p>\n Now may be an ideal time to make a move for Kuzma. With Giannis Antetokounmpo missing games, Kuzma has been more aggressive in looking for shots during his time on the floor \u2014 he\u2019s landed double-digit field goal attempts in each of the last games and scored 13 or more in all of them. His most productive outing of those four games was a 31-point performance against the Celtics when he went 13-of-17 from the field. Although it\u2019s unlikely he\u2019ll consistently display that level of shooting efficiency on such high volume, the score-first approach from him for a team currently down its top scorer should continue to yield good scoring production and high upside.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Bub Carrington \u2014 PG, SG, Wizards<\/p>\n Over the last three appearances, Carrington is averaging 17.3 points and 7.3 assists in 38.0 minutes per game. He flirted with double-doubles in two of the games and was aggressive in his approach to the three-point shot. With the Wizards unlikely to turn their season around on a wins-and-losses basis, it\u2019s logical to expect they’ll allow the young players to get in as many reps as possible. And if these recent three games are a sign of things to come, it may be worth adding Carrington from the free agency pool now \u2014 he\u2019s got some upside and has recently shown he\u2019s capable of some monster stat lines.<\/p>\n
