The 2025-26 NBA regular season is nearly upon us (WOOHOO! BASKETBALL BACK!). And that, in turn, means that fantasy basketball is fast approaching and you need to prepare for drafts. You know who the superstars are in real life and fantasy, but if you're here, it means you want to figure out how to nail the back half of the draft.

Updated fantasy basketball rankings for roto and category leagues, following the latest news on Joel Embiid, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Coby White.
