Below we’re going to go over the top scorers from Week 11 with a recap of each of their performances:

Week 11 High Score Perfect Lineup

More on the top performers

Cade Cunningham, guard: With Nikola Jokić sidelined for the next month or so, someone is going to have to pick up the slack as the top dog in fantasy. Cunningham has a shot at that as a frequent visitor to this article. On New Year’s Day, he had a near-triple-double with 31 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 stocks against Miami in a losing effort. With Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris dealing with injuries, Cade will be tasked with doing more on offense as Detroit tries to stave off the Knicks for first in the conference.

Tyrese Maxey, guard: It had been a bit since we saw Maxey; the last time he eclipsed 70 fantasy points was back at the end of November. But he enters next week with at least 34 points in three straight games, including 36 in a win over the Knicks on Saturday. Maxey scored 34 points with 8 boards, 10 assists and 4 stocks on New Year’s Day against Dallas to get into this lineup.

Kawhi Leonard, frontcourt: This is the best stretch of basketball we’ve seen from Leonard in a while — perhaps his entire career, but definitely since he joined the Clippers back in 2019-20. Los Angeles was on a six-game winning streak before Jaylen Brown’s 50 points ended that on Saturday.

After scoring 55 last week to post a High Score of 94 fantasy points, Kawhi had 45 against the Jazz to start 2026. Leonard has now played in 18 straight games and is singlehandedly lifting the Clippers out of the basement in the Western Conference.
