Notes | |
| Damian Lillard's transition to Milwaukee didn't miss a beat, as he maintained his elite production with 24.3 points, 7 assists, and 3 threes per game. Lillard's shooting from deep (35.4%) and his elite free-throw percentage (92%) make him a fantasy favorite in category leagues. While his field goal percentage (42.4%) leaves room for improvement, his ability to deliver high-volume scoring and assists ensures that he remains a fantasy anchor. Draft Lillard confidently in the late first round, knowing you're getting a player who can carry your team with his elite production. Joel E. Ruffin Jr. - FantasyPros | Kyrie Irving may come with concerns about availability, but when he's on the floor, his fantasy production is elite. In the 2023-2024 season, he averaged 25.6 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds per game, all while shooting a stellar 49.7% from the field and 41.1% from beyond the arc. His elite free-throw percentage (90.5%) adds even more value in category leagues. While the risk with Irving often revolves around missed games, his ability to contribute across multiple categories-especially in scoring, assists, and efficiency-makes him a solid second-round pick for fantasy managers willing to take on some risk for a high reward.
