Here’s my top 20 point guards for the 2025-26 season.
1. **Luka Dončić (DAL)** – *58.5 FPTS*. Look, he’s still the king. Elite in points, assists, and often flirts with triple-doubles. His 2023-24 season saw him average 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists, a stat line few can touch. The only real "risk" is his conditioning, but even at less than peak fitness, he's a top-tier fantasy asset. Dallas is always a team that plays fast, giving him plenty of possessions.
2. **Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC)** – *56.0 FPTS*. SGA’s efficiency is insane. He averaged 30.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and a league-leading 2.0 steals in 2023-24. His free throw attempts (10.7 per game) are golden in category leagues and add consistent points here. He’s durable, too, playing 75+ games in back-to-back seasons. The Thunder's young core will only get better, creating even more assist opportunities for him.
3. **Tyrese Haliburton (IND)** – *53.0 FPTS*. The assist god. Haliburton put up 10.9 assists per game in 2023-24, leading the league. He also hit 2.8 threes per contest. His injury risk is moderate after hamstring issues in 2023-24, but when healthy, he's a triple-double threat every night. Indiana's pace is a huge advantage, consistently ranking top-5 in the league.
4. **Jalen Brunson (NYK)** – *50.5 FPTS*. The guy just produces. Brunson averaged 28.7 points and 6.7 assists in 2023-24. He doesn't offer many steals or blocks, but his scoring volume and efficiency are elite. Injury risk is low, and he's a workhorse for Tom Thibodeau. The Knicks' slower pace means fewer possessions overall, but Brunson monopolizes them.
5. **Trae Young (ATL)** – *49.0 FPTS*. Still a bucket and an assist machine. Young averaged 25.7 points and 10.8 assists in 2023-24. His three-point shooting (3.3 per game) is a major plus. The defensive stats aren't there, and his injury risk is moderate (missed 20 games in 2023-24), but the upside is huge if he stays healthy and the Hawks remain a high-pace team.
6. **Anthony Edwards (MIN)** – *48.0 FPTS*. He’s not a pure PG, but he handles the ball enough to qualify in most formats and his usage is sky-high. Edwards averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.2 steals in 2023-24. His athleticism makes him a nightly highlight and a fantasy monster. Low injury risk. The Timberwolves are built around him.
7. **Jamal Murray (DEN)** – *46.5 FPTS*. When healthy, Murray is an elite scorer and playmaker. He averaged 21.2 points and 6.5 assists in 2023-24. His injury history is the main concern, but playing alongside Nikola Jokic means plenty of open looks and easy assists. Denver plays at a moderate pace, but their efficiency is top-tier.
8. **De'Aaron Fox (SAC)** – *45.5 FPTS*. Fox's speed and scoring are undeniable. He put up 26.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 2.0 steals in 2023-24. Steals are a huge bonus. He’s fairly durable. The Kings' lightning-fast pace is a dream for fantasy managers.
9. **Stephen Curry (GSW)** – *44.0 FPTS*. Still the greatest shooter ever, even at 37 years old by 2025-26. Curry averaged 26.4 points and 4.5 threes per game in 2023-24. The concern is age and potential load management, but when he plays, the threes and points are there. If the Warriors embrace a younger core, he could still be the primary offensive option.
10. **LaMelo Ball (CHA)** – *43.5 FPTS*. Enormous talent, enormous injury risk. Ball averaged 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 1.8 steals in only 22 games in 2023-24. If he ever stays healthy for 65+ games, he's a top-5 PG. But that's a massive "if." The Hornets' roster is still finding its identity, but Ball is the undisputed engine.
11. **Fred VanVleet (HOU)** – *42.0 FPTS*. FVV provides a solid floor with points, assists, threes, and steals. He averaged 17.4 points, 8.1 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.9 threes in 2023-24. He’s a veteran who rarely misses games. Houston's system under Ime Udoka values defense and organization, which benefits VanVleet's all-around game.
12. **Darius Garland (CLE)** – *41.0 FPTS*. Garland's numbers dipped slightly in 2023-24 with Donovan Mitchell dominating usage, but he still averaged 18.0 points and 6.5 assists. If Mitchell were to move on, Garland's upside skyrockets. Low injury risk, good for threes and assists. The Cavs play at a slower pace, but Garland's efficiency is good.
13. **Cade Cunningham (DET)** – *40.0 FPTS*. He's been the bright spot in Detroit. Cunningham averaged 22.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.2 steals in 2023-24. His efficiency needs to improve, but the usage is elite. Injury risk is moderate after some early career woes. If the Pistons ever figure things out, Cade will be the reason.
14. **Scoot Henderson (POR)** – *39.5 FPTS*. He struggled as a rookie, but the talent is undeniable. Henderson averaged 14.0 points and 5.4 assists in 2023-24, and you can expect a significant jump in his third year. The Blazers are going to run and he'll be the primary ball-handler. High upside, low injury risk so far.
15. **Paolo Banchero (ORL)** – *39.0 FPTS*. Like Edwards, not a pure PG, but he runs a ton of the offense. Banchero averaged 22.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 2023-24. He's a strong rebounder for the position and his assist numbers are climbing. Low injury risk. The Magic are a rising team, and he's their alpha.
16. **Victor Wembanyama (SAS)** – *38.0 FPTS*. Okay, hear me out. He's a center, but his playmaking is legit. Wemby averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals, and a league-leading 3.6 blocks as a rookie. Those blocks and steals are game-changers. He'll get PG eligibility in some leagues, and his usage as a facilitator will only grow. He's a cheat code, regardless of position.
17. **Jalen Suggs (ORL)** – *37.5 FPTS*. His offensive game is still developing, but Suggs is a steal machine. He averaged 12.6 points, 3.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in 2023-24. If the Magic offense takes a step forward, his scoring could see a bump. Low injury risk, high defensive impact.
18. **Jordan Poole (WAS)** – *36.0 FPTS*. He had a disastrous 2023-24 season (17.4 points, 4.4 assists, 3.7 turnovers), but in a tanking situation, he’ll get unlimited shots. There’s a world where he cleans up his efficiency and becomes a volume scorer for fantasy. High turnover risk, but the points and threes will be there.
19. **Mike Conley (MIN)** – *35.0 FPTS*. Still a steady veteran. Conley averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 assists, and 1.2 steals in 2023-24. He's a low-turnover option and a good source of threes. Age is the main concern, but he remains effective as a floor general.
20. **Russell Westbrook (LAC)** – *34.5 FPTS*. Even in 2025-26, Westbrook will still be a fantasy factor if he's playing consistent minutes. He averaged 11.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.1 steals in 2023-24. The efficiency and turnovers are rough, but the triple-double upside for peripheral stats in short bursts is real. He's a cheap points league option with decent floor.
Trae Young is still wildly underrated in fantasy because people get caught up in his real-life defensive shortcomings. In a points league, his pure offensive output makes him a top-5 lock when healthy, even if the Hawks are mediocre. Don't let the eye test fool you on his fantasy value.
**Bold Prediction:** Scoot Henderson breaks out big time in 2025-26, finishing as a top-10 fantasy point guard, averaging over 20 points and 8 assists as the clear leader of the Blazers.
