"Each week in the NBA is its own story -- full of surprises, both positive and negative -- and fantasy basketball managers must decide what to believe and what not to believe moving forward. Perhaps we can help. If any of these thoughts come true ... don't be surprised. Don't be surprised if ... Philadelphia 76ers PG/SG Tyrese Maxey scores the most fantasy points this season"
"Perhaps this does not feel too bold since Maxey exits the All-Star break with this exact honor, having scored 2,804 fantasy points (an average of 53.9 per game). Last season, there were two obvious real-life and fantasy MVP choices, and Oklahoma City Thunder PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Denver Nuggets C Nikola Jokic were the lone players to surpass 4,000 points. Jokic was ridiculous, averaging 69.7 fPPG; Gilgeous-Alexander, who won league MVP honors, averaged 58.7 fPPG. Maxey, who played in only 52 games, averaged 45.5 fPPG."
Tyrese Maxey leads the NBA in total fantasy points this season thanks largely to playing the most minutes and exceptional durability. Maxey has scored 2,804 fantasy points (53.9 per game) while appearing in all but two contests and averaging 38.6 minutes. Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are higher per-game fantasy producers but missed significant time due to injury, reducing their season totals. No qualified player has averaged more than 38 MPG since James Harden in 2015–16, and the 76ers have indicated they may limit Maxey’s minutes. Maxey’s availability makes him uniquely valuable in points formats.
