The 2023-24 NBA season is almost upon us with Opening Night tip-off set for Tuesday, Oct. 24.
That also means fantasy basketball season is quickly approaching, and you may have some catching up to do if you've been locked into fantasy football.
One thing you won't need updating on is the No. 1 ranked player in all fantasy formats — reigning Finals MVP Nikola Jokic. But who are the top-ranked players after the Joker?
There are a number of superstars to choose from, be it Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo or last year's fantasy breakout star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Even if you have a late first-round pick, you could still end up with dynamite players like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker or Anthony Davis.
Take a look at our top 200 player rankings to help guide you through your upcoming draft.
