Fantasy Basketball Point Guard Tiers 2025-26

Tier 9

Dejounte Murray (SG)

Good: STL, AST, PTS, REB, FT% | Average: 3PM, BLK | Bad: FG%, TO

Murray spent most of his first year with the Pelicans in street clothes. He’ll be in the same situation this season, as he’s expected to return from his Achilles tear sometime in January. The 29-year-old will reclaim his starting role and provide great two-way production once he’s back at full strength.

Scotty Pippen Jr. (SG)

Good: AST, STL | Average: BLK, FG%, TO | Bad: PTS, REB, 3PM, FT%

Whenever Morant is out, Scotty Pippen Jr. can always be counted on to step up. However, a bench role limits his ceiling. Trading Bane also doesn’t help his situation, given the team’s offseason acquisitions. Pippen Jr. can still light up the box score when called upon.

Tyus Jones

Good: AST, TO | Average: STL, 3PM, FT% | Bad: REB, PTS, BLK, FG%

Tyus Jones had a disappointing year with the Suns following his breakout with the Wizards. Now he’s playing backup guard for the Magic. Even in that role, the 29-year-old can dish out assists and provide some scoring.

Egor Demin (SG)

Rookie

The Nets selected multiple guards in the 2025 draft, with Egor Demin headlining the list. The 19-year-old is likely to get the starting point guard job. His best fantasy asset is his assists, as he’s an inconsistent shooter and a raw defender.

Cole Anthony

Average: AST, BLK, FT%, TO | Bad: PTS, REB, STL, 3PM, FG%

The Bucks have another point guard to help fill Lillard’s hole: Cole Anthony. He’ll likely serve as a depth piece but could get some starts. The former Magic guard is a streaky player, but he can put together some hot stretches.

Walter Clayton (SG)

Rookie

2025 18th overall pick Walter Clayton will mostly serve as a backup guard. Though he is a candidate to have significant value once the Jazz’s silly season shenanigans commence. The University of Florida product can score, dish out assets, hit the three-ball and grab some steals.
