Luka Dončić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lead NBA fantasy projections

As the 2026-2027 NBA season approaches, fantasy basketball analysts have identified the league's top guard options. Luka Dončić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are projected to lead the rankings due to their consistent elite performances.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is noted for his reliability, having averaged 31.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game during the 2025-26 season. He is expected to be a top-three draft pick alongside Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic. Luka Dončić remains a premier fantasy asset, though analysts note his historical tendency to play fewer than 70 games per season.

Other notable performers in fantasy projections include Tyrese Maxey, who recorded 3,403.5 total fantasy points.
