Luka Dončić Leads 2026-27 Fantasy Basketball Point Guard Rankings

The 2026-27 nine-category fantasy draft board starts at point guard, where assist volume can shape an entire roster build. Luka Dončić sits atop the position rankings, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey and Anthony Edwards forming the next group of premium dual-eligible guards.

Key takeaways

• Dončić is ranked No. 1 among point guards and carries both PG and SG eligibility for the Lakers.
• Gilgeous-Alexander is the top point-guard-only option at No. 2, ahead of Cunningham at No. 3.
• Anthony Edwards checks in fifth with PG, SG and SF eligibility, giving fantasy managers lineup flexibility near the top of the board.
• Tyrese Haliburton, Donovan Mitchell, Jamal Murray, Austin Reaves and Josh Giddey round out the top 10.
• The rankings run 85 players deep, from established lead guards to rookies, bench creators and multi-position wings.

Assist production drives the early guard chase

There is no need to force a point guard selection in every format, but the position remains a central source of assists without automatically sacrificing scoring, threes or steals. Dončić leads the board with the Lakers, while Gilgeous-Alexander holds the No. 2 slot for Oklahoma City as a pure PG option.

Cunningham and Maxey follow as guards who can be slotted at either backcourt spot. Edwards’ three-position designation is notable at No. 5, while Haliburton, Mitchell and Murray remain among the early-round names expected to anchor guard builds. Reaves and Giddey close the top 10, each bringing multiple lineup designations.

Further down, the board includes high-usage guards such as LaMelo Ball, Trae Young, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Devin Booker and Jalen Brunson, then moves into a deeper tier with players whose value can turn on role, minutes and positional flexibility.
