The High Score 100: The biggest rankings risers and fallers as we navigate Week 5 in fantasy basketball

The High Score 100 — the top-100 players in Yahoo’s newest fantasy basketball format — is a running reflection of year-to-date performance and trending production. Each weekly update captures who’s actually delivering value and who’s fading.

Here’s a breakdown of the biggest risers and fallers through the fourth week of fantasy basketball — with the complete High Score 100 at the bottom of the article. I’ll be updating my rankings every Tuesday throughout the fantasy basketball season.

Before we jump into the rankings movers, LeBron James is expected to make his season debut as soon as Tuesday night. While he’ll be the High Score 100 next week — giving me a better chance to evaluate his fantasy value in this format — I expect James to average at least 47 points per game in High Score and be a top-20 (or better) player.

Brooks moved from 100 to 72 in the High Score 100 thanks to a couple of notable performances in Week 4 that brought his per-game average up to 36 fantasy points in High Score. Brooks has become a strong No. 2 scoring option behind Devin Booker, posting a career-best 22 points per game this season. Brooks isn’t doing much for rebounds or assists, but his scoring and steals have made him a viable utility option in High Score.

Michael Porter Jr. – FC, Brooklyn Nets: 38th overall (⬆️ 23)

Porter’s offensive output continues to surge in Brooklyn. Through Monday, Porter Jr. is putting up 24 points with 3 assists per contest (both career-highs). It may not seem like a lot, but MPJ is doing more facilitating than he’s been tasked with in the past. He’s just outside the top-40 in High Score on a per-game basis, but I have Porter inside the top-40 this week due to his recent run, averaging 44.8 fantasy points per game over his last six games.
