UPDATE: The NBA season is heating up as Giannis Antetokounmpo continues his historic start, averaging an astonishing 34.0 points per game and reaching an incredible milestone of at least 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists in six consecutive games, a feat only matched by a few in NBA history. This second week of the season has unveiled critical developments that could shape the landscape for weeks to come.
As of October 29, 2025, Antetokounmpo’s shooting percentage stands at a remarkable 68.1%. In the fantasy realm, this has translated to an average of 67.1 fantasy points per game. His dominance is not just a boon for the Milwaukee Bucks but also for fantasy managers looking to capitalize on his performance.
Meanwhile, Cade Cunningham is making headlines with his outstanding gameplay, ranking among the top three fantasy producers over the last three games. He averaged 28.0 points, 12.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game, becoming the first player in Pistons history to achieve at least 30 points, 10 assists, three steals, and three blocks in a single game.
In contrast, Ja Morant is facing significant struggles as he grapples with a lack of aggression that once defined his gameplay. Despite scoring 18 points and providing 10 assists in a loss to Detroit, Morant expressed discontent, stating simply “No” when asked if he still enjoyed playing basketball. His current averages of 39.3% shooting and a career-low in minutes at 28.5 highlight a disconcerting decline.
The Washington Wizards are finding hope in Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 draft. He is enjoying a breakout season with averages of 17.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks while shooting 52.7% from the field. His performance is a bright spot in a franchise that has struggled for direction, showing signs that they may have found their cornerstone.
In the wake of injuries, Ryan Rollins has surged as the Bucks’ starting point guard, averaging an impressive 43.5 fantasy points over the past three games and shooting over 62.0% from the field. His chemistry with Antetokounmpo is crucial, as he maintains pace and enhances the offensive flow, making him a must-add for fantasy managers.
Another surprise of the early season is Holiday, who has rejuvenated his career in Portland. Averaging 40.0 fantasy points per game, Holiday is contributing significantly across all categories, including a career-high of 8.3 assists per game. His leadership is stabilizing a Trail Blazers offense that struggled last season, but his production may be impacted by the impending return of Scoot Henderson from injury.
Lastly, Kuminga has finally cemented his place in the Warriors’ starting lineup, averaging 31.1 fantasy points and showing improvements across the board. His defensive contributions and impressive shooting at 53.5% from three-point range could mark the beginning of a breakout season that fantasy managers have long anticipated.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on how these players evolve and impact their teams. With the early trends indicating possible shifts in fantasy landscape and team dynamics, fans and managers alike should stay alert for what unfolds next in this thrilling NBA season.
