The NBA is on its midseason break with three days full of All-Star events. In honour of that, here are four tiers of fantasy basketball All-Star teams based on 2024-25 season rankings.
*To qualify, a player must have played at least 40 games. Rankings based on Hashtag Basketball’s category rankings.
Fantasy Basketball 2024-25 All-Star Teams
The All-Star All-Stars (Rounds 1-3)
G – Damian Lillard: After some struggles in his first season with the Milwaukee Bucks, Lillard is providing first-round value again. One of the top playmakers in the league, he’s also ultra-efficient from the foul line and a three-point microwave scorer.
Reserve – Tyrese Maxey
Reserve – Stephen Curry
G – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: The NBA’s leader in points is a top-three fantasy player this season thanks to his elite two-way impact. In previous seasons, Gilgeous-Alexander’s three-point scoring has lacked, but he’s averaging over two for the second time.
Reserve – Kyrie Irving
Reserve – James Harden
F – Jayson Tatum: Despite a stacked starting lineup for the Boston Celtics, Tatum is still dominating. Ranked just outside the first round, he is an excellent contributor in the main categories and a top-10 scorer.
Reserve – LeBron James
Reserve – Anthony Edwards
F – Karl-Anthony Towns: A trade to the New York Knicks helped Towns return to being a top fantasy player. Currently averaging the second-most rebounds and double-doubles (41) in the league, he’s also had some explosive scoring performances.
Reserve – Anthony Davis
Reserve – Kevin Durant
C – Nikola Jokic: The number-one category league player is a model of versatility, consistency and availability. The fantasy MVP candidate is averaging career highs in several stats while not hurting any areas besides turnovers.
Reserve – Victor Wembanyama
Reserve – Domantas Sabonis
Middle Of The Pack All-Stars (Rounds 4-6)
G – Jalen Brunson: Brunson’s current ranking is lower than 2023-24, but he’s still providing in the playmaking department and impacting the offensive categories. His shooting percentages are also efficient as the New York Knicks’ leading scorer.
Reserve – Dyson Daniels
Reserve – Derrick White
G – Tyler Herro: His ADP in the 80s is nowhere close to the value Herro is providing. The Miami Heat are depending more on the guard, and he’s provided by being their first offensive option, a three-point sharpshooter, and a solid facilitator and rebounder.
Reserve – Austin Reaves
Reserve – Norman Powell
F – Scottie Barnes: An eye injury wasn’t enough to stop Barnes from leading the rebuilding Toronto Raptors. He dominates on both ends of the court and offers value in the primary stats, thanks to his versatility and athleticism.
Reserve – Zach LaVine
Reserve – Desmond Bane
F – Jalen Williams: Williams had a hot start to the season while the Oklahoma City Thunder were shorthanded. The guard/forward/center is solid in his numbers across the board and is having his best fantasy season yet.
Reserve – Giannis Antetokounmpo
Reserve – Pascal Siakam
C – Walker Kessler: The third-best shot-blocker in the NBA is one of four players to average over two swats per game. Kessler is averaging a double-double while converting shots at one of the most efficient rates amongst starters.
Reserve – Jarrett Allen
Reserve – Jakob Poeltl
Just Inside The Top 100 All-Stars (Rounds 7-9)
G – Fred VanVleet: While VanVleet’s season hasn’t gone as expected, the point guard still provides steals, threes, assists and efficient shooting from the charity stripe. His 3.7 AST/TO ratio is one of his best fantasy assets.
Reserve – Anfernee Simons
Reserve – Payton Pritchard
G – Chris Paul: Signing with the San Antonio Spurs over the offseason helped Paul crack the top 100 again. The 39-year-old’s elite playmaking is the main source of his value, but he also offers a high free throw percentage and steals.
Reserve – Coby White
Reserve – CJ McCollum
F – Michael Porter Jr.: Porter Jr.’s best numbers are in points, threes and rebounds. The three-point specialist is known for his ability to record hot offensive stretches, and he can provide some numbers on the defensive end.
Reserve – Jaylen Brown
Reserve – Mikal Bridges
F – Naz Reid: The Minnesota Timberwolves traded one of their big men before the start of this season, giving Reid a bigger opportunity. Even though he’s mainly coming off the bench, he’s posting new career bests in multiple stats.
Reserve – Josh Giddey
Reserve – Tobias Harris
C – Alperen Sengun: The mini-Jokic earned his nickname from his production in the main categories. In addition to that, he can provide stocks. Sengun averages a double-double and the second-most assists on the Houston Rockets.
Reserve – Rudy Gobert
Reserve – Onyeka Okongwu
Back End Of The Roster All-Stars (Rounds 10-13)
G – Jrue Holiday: While his ranking isn’t where fantasy managers expected it to be, Holiday still provides some flashes of two-way production. He’s a 3-and-D guy who is converting foul shots at a career rate.
Reserve – Russell Westbrook
Reserve – Ty Jerome
G – Ayo Dosunmu: Even in a crowded backcourt, Dosunmu has found ways to make his presence felt. The Chicago Bulls recently traded their star player, boosting the 25-year-old’s value by giving him a consistent starting job.
Reserve – Bilal Coulibaly
Reserve – Keon Ellis
F – RJ Barrett: The Canadian’s first full season with the Raptors is shaping up to be his best yet. Barrett’s fantasy profile is much better suited to points leagues, where he’s ranked significantly higher, as shooting splits are less important.
Reserve – Deni Avdija
Reserve – Rui Hachimura
F – Andrew Wiggins: Wiggins is bouncing back after a down year. His offensive game rebounded through his scoring and three-point shooting. The 29-year-old has also been active on the defensive end by averaging nearly one steal and block.
Reserve – Keegan Murray
Reserve – Toumani Camara
C – Bobby Portis: Backing up one of the best centers in the league hasn’t stopped Portis from maintaining fantasy relevance. The three-time Sixth Man of the Year runner-up provides good points and rebounds with some blocks.
Reserve – Guerschon Yabusele
Reserve – Zach Edey
