Top Players with Increased Upside in Fantasy Basketball’s High Score Format

In Yahoo’s new High Score fantasy basketball format, certain players have shown significant potential due to their versatility and ability to produce high points. Experts suggest targeting these players for optimal value during drafts.

Trae Young has consistently averaged over 24 points and 10 assists per game over the past three seasons. His efficiency and low turnover rate make him a prime choice, securing his status as a first-round lock in High Score leagues.

LaMelo Ball, despite previous injury concerns, remains a top-tier pick based on his per-game contributions in points, steals, and assists. His upside positions him within the top 15 for potential selections, highlighting his high ceiling.

Zion Williamson has shown promising signs during the preseason, emphasizing his physical condition and dedication. With his impressive points-per-minute rate, Zion could quickly rise to a top 20 player in High Score formats, expected to be a strong contributor if he remains healthy.

Joel Embiid, a former MVP, had limited action last season but has slimmed down and resumed scrimmaging. If he regains his previous form, he’s projected to score around 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 4-5 assists per game, making him a top contender in drafts, often selected in the 5th round.
