Nikola Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to a NBA championship and Victor Wembanyama has the San Antonio Spurs dreaming about their next one. But why should they have all the fun? You too can build a championship roster around Jokic, Wembanyama or any player you want! That's what fantasy is all about.

Here, you'll find updated rankings for the 2023-24 fantasy basketball season, tailored for head-to-head category leagues, which reward players for contributions in multiple categories. We'll keep them updated through the preseason and then the entire season.

And remember, the first step toward a fantasy championship is to sign up for your team. Whether you're creating a new league, reactivating one or looking for one to join, we thank you for choosing ESPN for all your fantasy basketball needs.
