Top-tier pillars anchor the 2025-26 PF/SF fantasy tiers, led by Giannis and Davis, with LeBron still pushing elite point production. Paolo Banchero cars ahead as a LeBron-like multi-cat asset, and Durant remains a steady scorer despite a new home. Jalen Johnson, Barnes, Brown and Mobley offer versatile upside in Tier 2, while Zion, Bam and Jaren Jackson Jr. populate the All-Star caliber core in Tier 3. The tiers emphasize depth, floor, and upside for strong points-league builds into the draft.

Beyond the core, Tier 4–6 highlights reliable vets, upside swings, and guarded risk, including Siakam, Ingram and Kawhi when healthy, with MPJ, Ausar and the Thompson duo in rising positions. Tier 9–10 provides late-round depth and streaming options like Aldama, Gordon, Murray, Kuminga, and Hauser, guiding late-draft risk with high-upside targets and safe holds for points formats.

Draft strategy centers on securing one or two Tier 1–2 anchors while weaving in multi-cat contributors from Tier 3 and 4 to balance scoring, rebounds and assists. In season, monitor health, role clarity, and the shifting pecking order as teams adjust to new rotations and coaching staffs, then ride the hot hand for streaming spots and value trades.
