The fantasy basketball regular season should be over for most leagues with the playoffs set to begin in Week 21. If you need some help prepping for your playoff matchup and beyond, Dan Titus has you covered here with his complete postseason primer. It appeared Nikola Jokić was going to end the season with the highest single-game fantasy point output. The Nuggets All-Star posted 108 fantasy points on Christmas Day against the Timberwolves. But Heat big man Bam Adebayo had different ideas. Last week, Bam scored 83 points and 110 fantasy points against the Wizards in one of the whackiest games in NBA history. We’ll get into that a bit more below, as well as the rest of the top High Score performances from Week 20. Last week’s High Score Perfect Lineup. (Graphic via Henry Russell/Yahoo Sports) More on the top performers Luka Dončić: Luka had one of the most efficient scoring games of the season with 51 points in a 142-130 win over the Bulls last week. Dončić shot 17-of-31 from the floor and 9-of-14 from long distance as well as 8-of-9 from the stripe. He also came an assist shy of a triple-double and had five stocks in the win. The Lakers star should be on plenty of playoff rosters as a top-five asset in High Score in its first season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: OKC must be feeling the heat from the Spurs in second place in the Western Conference. The Thunder are on an eight-game winning streak as Shai guns for back-to-back regular-season MVP awards. He’s missed one game during the streak but otherwise has scored at least 48 fantasy points in each contest. SGA has also scored at least 30 points in four of those games, plus 8 or more assists in five. Bam Adebayo: We’ll be talking about this game for the rest of existence perhaps. Many are discrediting Adebayo’s 83 points compared to some other historic NBA performances, most notably Kobe’s 81-point game back in 2006. Bam had 31 points in the first quarter and 43 at halftime. So the Heat just kept feeding him the ball and he’d go on to make 43 trips to the foul line, hitting 36 of those attempts. The odds of another player topping this score before the end of the season are slim (but not impossible). Nikola Jokić: The Joker had his High Score championship rug pulled from underneath him by Adebayo. Still, Jokić is going to finish this season as the top overall asset in fantasy basketball. He was a bit slow returning from injury to start February, but is back to posting insane stat lines. Last week, it was 31-20-12 with 5 stocks against the Spurs in a huge win. It’s too bad you can’t stash high scores to use them for later; Jokić had at least 72 fantasy points in all four games this past week. Victor Wembanyama: The Spurs continue to be the best team in the NBA so far in the second half of the season. Wemby is on track for his best scoring month of 2025-26, averaging 28.6 points per game in seven games in March. One of those performances was just 10 points in a blowout win over the Sixers as well. Wembanyama is also averaging north of 4 blocks per game this month, his highest output since the beginning of the season. So long as the Spurs are still in it for the 1-seed in the West, Wemby should keep it up through the fantasy basketball playoffs. DeMar DeRozan: DeRozan is gracing us with his presence for the first time in this lineup. The Kings are depleted with Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, Keegan Murray, De’Andre Hunter, Drew Eubanks, Devin Carter and Malik Monk all ailing. Russell Westbrook is also dealing with a foot issue going into Week 21. In a win over the Jazz to end Week 20, DeRozan went hero ball playing mostly with unproven and younger players. He scored 41 points in 38 minutes with 11 dimes, 4 boards and 3 steals. DeRozan could be a surprise league-winner down the stretch.
