NBA Fantasy: Luka Dončić Dominates Week 14, Key Players for Week 15

Key Points from Week 14:

Dončić Delivers a Masterclass: Fantasy MVP Frontrunner

Luka Dončić put on an absolute clinic in Week 14, reaffirming his status as a top-tier fantasy asset. Averaging an astounding 71.3 fantasy points per game (FP/G), the Dallas Mavericks superstar was simply unstoppable across three contests. His stat line was breathtaking: 34.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.7 assists, and 2.0 steals per game, all while shooting an efficient 49.2% from the field.

Dončić consistently delivered double-doubles, securing multiple steals in two games. His relentless attacking style also led to a massive 37 free-throw attempts, converting 32 of them. This kind of all-around production is why he remains a perennial fantasy force and a true difference-maker for any roster.

Jalen Johnson's Resurgence: Atlanta's Rising Star Shines Bright

Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks was a revelation in Week 14, casting aside any doubts after a recent slump. He powered his way to 61.2 FP/G, nearly carrying Atlanta to an undefeated week. His standout performance against the Bucks saw him erupt for 28 points and 16 rebounds, signaling his return to form.

Johnson followed this up with two more impressive double-doubles, showcasing improved playmaking with tallies of eight and nine assists. His efficiency was notable, hitting 49.2% of his field goals and an impressive 40.0% from three-point range.

Morant's Moment, Then Misfortune: Injury Sidelines Grizzlies Star

Ja Morant once again showcased his immense talent in his single Week 14 appearance, but the joy was fleeting. Despite only playing one game, he still landed at #3 with 61.0 FP/G, a testament to his explosive potential.

Facing off against Jalen Johnson and the Hawks, Morant packed his 30 minutes with 23 points, 12 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and 3 blocks. He was perfect from the free-throw line (8-for-8). However, an elbow injury has now sidelined the Grizzlies star for multiple games, leaving fantasy managers once again questioning his long-term availability.

Philly's Power Duo: Embiid and Maxey's Consistent Dominance

The Philadelphia 76ers had two players crack the top five, underscoring their offensive firepower. Joel Embiid delivered a vintage performance, averaging 60.6 FP/G despite sitting out one game for injury management.

Embiid was lights out, posting 33.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. His shooting splits were phenomenal: 57.9% from the field and an incredible 55.6% from beyond the arc. Right alongside him was Tyrese Maxey, who finished with 59.6 FP/G. Maxey contributed 26.8 points, 7.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and a stellar 4.0 steals per contest, logging a massive 41.0 minutes per game over four outings. Despite some struggles from deep, his 93.8% free-throw shooting helped cement his strong week.
