If you happen to have one of these guys on your fantasy basketball team, you should be sitting back with a smile. If you happen to own two of these guys, a hearty chuckle should do. And if you just so happen to own three or more of these guys, then you’re probably feeling like a Raiders fan after their victory over the Chiefs…. well, almost that good.

Top 10 Fantasy Basketball Players this Week

INJ: Tobias Harris, Orl PF/C

Harris was on an absolute roll before injuring his calf, but should only miss about a week. Look for his averages of 53% FG, 89% FT, 1.5 three’s, 21.3 pts, 8.0 rebs, and 2.0 stls to continue when he returns to the court. Harris would be in the top five if healthy.

10. Paul Millsap, Atl, PF/C

After a rough start to the season, Millsap is finally giving owners what they expected. Posting 20 pts on 56% shooting with 7.7 rebs, and strong defensive numbers of 2.3 stls and 1.0 blk per game.

9. a) Mike Conley, Mem, PG
9. b) Kyle Lowry, Tor PG

Both Conley and Lowry have posted almost identical numbers this week. With averages around 18 pts on 52% shooting, with 2 threes, 5 rebs, 5 ast and a steal, they are both very solid numbers for the point guard position.

8. Carmelo Anthony, NYC SF/PF

Carmelo has finally found his famous shooting touch, averaging 24.7 pts and 2.7 three’s while shooing 65%, wow. Throw in 6.3 boards along with 3.3 dimes and the only thing holding Melo from a higher spot is his lack of defense.

7. Klay Thompson, GS SG/SF

Splash Brother No. 2 is quickly establishing himself as one of the premier shooting guards in the league by putting up 2.3 three’s and 17.7 points while shooing 51% from the floor and 91% from the line. Add in his solid defensive numbers of 1.7 stl and 1.3 blks with only 1.3 turnovers and its easy to see why Thompson is ranked in the Top 10.

6. LaMarcus Aldridge, Por PF/C

L.A. has been up to his usual tricks, averaging 1.0 three’s, 19 points, 9 rebs, 48% FG, 85% FT along with a block and a steal each night.

5. Kyrie Irving, Cle PG/SG

His team is playing, but Irving is still doing his thing. Posting 2.8 three’s, 20 points, 48% FG, 88% FT, and a solid 2.3 steals per game. If he can get some more assists both he and the Cavs would be better off.

4. Damion Lillard, Por PG

The Oakland native is showing what he can do, hitting the competition for 24.3 pts, 3.3 three’s, and 8.7 ast, while shooting 53% FG and 95% FT. If Lillard can get his turnovers (4.0 per game) under control, he would be ranked even higher.

3. Stephen Curry, GS PG/SG

The human torch has been lighting it up all season and this week is no different. Posting a scorching 3.3 three’s, 19.0 pts, 11.3 ast, and 1.3 stl, while shooting 49% in only 27:40 minutes per game… (Long whistle).

2. Chris Paul, LAC PG

When it’s all said and done, CP3 will go down in history as one of the greats in this league. Averaging 2.3 three’s, 21 pts, and 9 ast on 62% FG with only 1.8 TO’s… It’s easy to see why.

1. Anthony Davis, Nor PF/C

The unibrow is the unanimous No. 1 fantasy player not only for this week, but so far for this season. Putting up 25.7 pts, 57% FG, 81% FT, 9.7 rebs, 2.0 stl, and 2.7 blks will be a common occurrence as long as he can stay healthy.
