The High Score 100: The biggest rankings risers and fallers as we navigate Week 15 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 14th 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.

📈 Risers — Nurk alert + more!

Jusuf Nurkić — FC, Utah Jazz: 75th overall (⬆️ 22)

Nurkić just rattled off three straight triple-doubles and is shooting 44.4% from 3 over the past week while averaging 16/13/12. The playmaking has been ridiculous. When defenses trap Keyonte George, Nurkić is finding cutters and hitting pick-and-pop 3s.

With the February 5 trade deadline approaching, I expect his name to be floating around along with his $19M expiring contract. Despite that unknown, Nurk’s seen a resurgence in Utah, playing wayyy better than his recent stints with the Hornets and Suns. Because he’s been playing so well, it smells like a prime moment to sell high.

Quickley just made NBA history, becoming the first player to record 40+ PTS, 10+ AST and 5+ 3s while shooting over 80% from the floor. One of those very specific types of stats, but still, a substantial accomplishment nonetheless. He racked up 68 fantasy points in High Score from that performance and it helped him win Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 14, averaging 25.3 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 6.8 APG and 2 steals over the past seven days.

The timing couldn’t be better with trade deadline noise everywhere. After an injury-wrecked 2024-25, IQ is back to ballin, making a statement for fantasy managers and Raptors fans.

Amen Thompson — G/FC, Houston Rockets: 35th overall (⬆️ 6)

Thompson is starting to find his stride, finishing Week…
