NBA News NBA News, Match Reports and Updates
The calendar has flipped to December and we’ve played a quarter of the 2025-26 NBA season. We’re also just over three weeks away from the Christmas Day NBA slate, the best time of the year. Of course, in Yahoo’s new fantasy basketball format, High Score, the top output for a player in a given week is all that matters. So far we’ve seen plenty of superstars top out and even have a few surprising performances. Below we’ll go over the perfect lineup based off the top-six scores from November.
The top-six performances overall by position from November.
More on the top performers
Cade Cunningham, guard: The Pistons have the best record in the Eastern Conference and Cade has the best High Score of any player all season. Cunningham posted an astonishing 46-12-11 triple-double with seven stocks, good for 101 fantasy points, in an OT win over the Wizards on Nov. 10. The Pistons All-Star has had a wide range of outcomes this season, ranging from 28 fantasy points back in October in a loss to the Cavaliers to that explosion against Washington. He’ll almost always have a high floor given his assist numbers, averaging 9.4 per game on the season, second-best in the League.

Tyrese Maxey, guard: Let’s be real, the 76ers are Maxey’s team. Unfortunately, Joel Embiid isn’t the same player and hasn’t even been able to play in half of Philly’s games so far this season. As a result, Maxey has gone full takeover and is chasing his first scoring title in the NBA, averaging 32.2 points per game, third behind Luka Dončić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. There are few players who can fill it up like Maxey on any given night. He did just that with a career-high 54 points in an OT win over Milwaukee on Nov. 20, propelling him to 95 fantasy points. Maxey was a fringe first-round asset during draft season and is looking like he should have landed in the top five.
