#5. De’Aaron Fox

De’Aaron Fox is having an All-Star-caliber season. After his breakout campaign last season, he has become one of the most popular NBA fantasy players.

Against the OKC Thunder, “Swipa” didn’t disappoint. He had 41 points, seven assists, three rebounds and two steals. The Sacramento Kings nearly blew a 14-point advantage by coming up with big shots down the stretch. Fox and Keegan Murray’s timely baskets allowed the Kings to eke out the win.

Fox gave fantasy basketball players 56.1 points tonight.

#4. Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokic is easily a top-notch fantasy NBA player. More often than not, he delivers the goods. Against the Brooklyn Nets, “The Joker” had another reliable outing. The two-time MVP finished with 26 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal.

Jokic’s 61.0 fantasy points should make many happy.
