The High Score 100: The biggest rankings risers and fallers as we navigate Week 13 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 12th 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.

Trey Murphy III – FC, New Orleans Pelicans: 43rd overall (⬆️ 10)

Murphy has been going off since the flip of the calendar, averaging 31.3 points, 7 rebounds and 4.5 assists in his last four games. He was a top-10 player in Week 12, posting 51.9 fantasy points per game and a High Score of 63.

Opposing teams interested in Murphy will have to pay a hefty price in real life and fantasy because he’s on a heater right now, and his value couldn’t be higher. For the year, Murphy ranks 48th, but I’m bumping him up a bit higher now that he’s been playing more aggressively while flirting with becoming the 1A option in New Orleans.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker – G/FC, Atlanta Hawks: 65th overall (⬆️ 9)

Trae Young has been traded to Washington, enhancing NAW’s ceiling for the rest of the season. Walker has provided fantasy managers with 50+ fantasy points in High Score over the past two weeks as he continues to deliver a mix of points, rebounds, assists and steals. He’s enjoying a career year, averaging more than 20 points per game, and with Trae gone, he’ll continue to play north of 33 minutes per night. His rise from 74 to 65 is driven by his recent performance (top-50 over the last two weeks) and the trade, which secured his minutes and role moving forward.

Michael Porter Jr. – FC, Brooklyn Nets: 31st overall (⬆️ 8)

MPJ is too successful to be considered a Most Improved Player, but the numbers he’s putting…
