Okongwu cemented his starting role last season, space the floor with 3s, and show solid playmaking and defense. The Hawks add Porzingis, creating versatile two big lineups and new spacing for Okongwu to thrive. Expect a familiar 13–14 PPG with 8–9 RPG and continued growth as a shooter and connector, keeping fantasy value high as lineup flexibility increases.

The big question is how minutes and roles shift with Porzingis. If Snyder deploys multiple lineups, Okongwu can stay on the floor longer in key stretches, while still serving as a switchable defender and floor spacer. Fantasy upside rests on continued shooting growth and improved offense from playmaking and cutting.

High Score reshapes weekly fantasy basketball by rewarding big weekly ceilings in assists and steals with minimal turnovers. Five sleepers outside the top 100 ADP stand out: Kevin Porter Jr., Reed Sheppard, Jaden Ivey, Stephon Castle and Isaiah Collier, each equipped for spike weeks with 30+ minutes and heavy usage.

Additional upside comes from Kyshawn George, Dennis Schröder, Ayo Dosunmu, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Davion Mitchell, who bring late-round dart throws in punt-turnover builds. Together they map a flexible strategy for weekly winners in 2025-26.
