In most default Yahoo High Score fantasy basketball leagues, we’re entering the semifinals of the playoffs. The postseason in fantasy hoops is difficult to navigate with so many teams tanking while injuries to key players mount.

They’ll have to make do without those stars (if they even were able to advance without them).
One star that has been carrying managers all season long is Luka Dončić, who is coming off one of the best games of his career as he has the Lakers on a nine-game winning streak entering Week 22.

The Clips were easing him back into action until recently, when Garland dropped 41 points on the Mavericks in an OT win last week. He also had three boards and 11 assists to make it onto the perfect lineup. Garland could be a league-winning guard for managers as Los Angeles is most likely headed for the play-in tourney.
