Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokić Dominate Fantasy Rankings as Week 25 Kicks Off

The NBA Fantasy, Salary Cap Edition season enters its final week with Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokić leading the charge. Both superstars have been unstoppable in recent weeks, combining for 124 FPPG in the last seven days alone. Fantasy managers who locked in on the duo are in prime position to finish atop the global leaderboard.

Wembanyama posted a season-high 84 fantasy points in a 136-134 overtime loss to the Denver Nuggets. The 20-year-old phenom dropped 34 points, 18 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks, and one steal. Over his last five games, he’s averaged a ridiculous 72.8 FPPG. His consistency and all-around production make him the top fantasy asset heading into the final week.

Nikola Jokić followed with an 83 fantasy point explosion of his own, leading the Nuggets to a win over the Spurs. The seven-time All-NBA guard poured in 40 points, eight rebounds, 13 assists, and three blocks. He’s averaging 72.1 FPPG over his past seven games and leads the league with 4,276 TFP for the season.

Cooper Flagg is also making a final push in his rookie campaign. The Dallas Mavericks’ guard set a personal best with 80 fantasy points in a win over the Lakers, scoring 45 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, one block, and two steals. Flagg has averaged 43.4 FPPG in the final stretch and is a must-start for any team he’s on this week.

Fantasy managers looking to add value should target Daniss Jenkins of the Pistons. The second-year guard has averaged 43.4 FPPG over the last nine games, including a 54-point fantasy outing this past Saturday. Jenkins is playing with the No. 1 seed in the East secured, and with Cade Cunningham sidelined, he’s in for a full week of action.

Cody Williams is another name to consider, as he’s become a regular starter for the Jazz and has averaged 35.7 FPPG in his past seven games. At just $4.9M, he offers tremendous value for teams needing a boost in the final stretch.

For teams with four games this week, it’s wise to invest in players from teams still in playoff contention. James Harden and Donovan Mitchell are key options for the Cavaliers, who are locked in a tight race with the Knicks for the No. 3 seed in the East. On the West side, Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant are must-watch players for the Rockets, who sit just one game behind the Nuggets for the No. 4 seed.

With just one week left, every matchup and fantasy point matters. Make your moves now, the global fantasy title is on the line.
