Our fantasy basketball rankings for the 2026-27 season list the top 200 NBA players for your draft, including players at every position: PG, SG, SF, PF, and C.
After a wild offseason of stars changing teams, the NBA tips off Tuesday, October 20, which makes this the final weekend for fantasy basketball drafts.
The summer brought a ton of major moves in the association. LeBron James and Jaylen Brown joined the Philadelphia 76ers. Giannis Antetokounmpo took his talents to South Beach. Kawhi Leonard reunited with Toronto after off-court controversy in L.A. LaMelo Ball got shipped to Minnesota to play alongside Anthony Edwards. All of those moves shake up fantasy draft values.
Meanwhile, defending champion New York is running it back with a core anchored by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. Coming off the Finals loss, Victor Wembanyama is trying to get San Antonio over the hump.
A new era begins in Los Angeles, as Luka Doncic owns center stage after LeBron’s departure. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could join an exclusive club by completing an MVP three-peat. Denver center Nikola Jokic remains a nightly triple-double threat.
Those are some of the top NBA players, but plenty of others can be key contributors on your fantasy basketball team this season — here’s how they stack up in our 2026 fantasy basketball rankings.
