Fantasy Basketball Notes, Tips and Advice for June 14, 2026
Per Rotoworld, "Jalen Brunson finished Saturday’s Game 5 win over the Spurs with 45 points (14-of-27 FGs, 13-of-15 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and four three-pointers. As he has done many times since he arrived in New York, Brunson shouldered a significant amount of the scoring workload on a night when many of his teammates struggled. The captain scored 29 points after halftime, becoming the first player in Knicks franchise history to score 40 points or more in an NBA Finals game. Unsurprisingly, Brunson was named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player. Looking ahead to next season, Brunson has top-25 fantasy potential, even if he did not reach those heights in 2025-26. However, the rotation and responsibilities should be locked in more than they were in head coach Mike Brown’s first season at the helm."
Per Rotoworld, "Dylan Harper finished Saturday’s Game 5 loss to the Knicks with 25 points (10-of-19 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers. Harper was San Antonio’s best player in Game 5, and his lack of opportunities in the fourth quarter contributed to the Spurs’ inability to hold off the Knicks. A similar scenario occurred in Game 4, and Harper is the first rookie since Richard Dumas in 1993 to record consecutive 20-point games. After the defeat, teammate Devin Vassell said that there were times during the season when Harper was frustrated with his playing time. Given how well he played during San Antonio’s run to the Finals, minutes should not be a concern for Harper in 2026-27. Don’t be surprised if he breaks out next season."
Per Rotoworld, "Victor Wembanyama recorded 19 points (7-of-19 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 14 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday’s Game 5 loss to the Knicks. While he had moments of dominance in his first NBA Finals appearance, Wembanyama’s conditioning and the Knicks’ ability to limit his effectiveness at times were issues. Dominant as a rim protector in Game 5, the 7-foot-4 center was unable to assert himself consistently on the offensive end, even with Karl-Anthony Towns in foul trouble for most of the night. These finals will serve as a learning experience for Wembanyama, who will have an argument to be Pick 1.1 in fantasy drafts next fall. Also, keep in mind that he won’t turn 23 until January. There’s a lot more for Wembanyama to learn before he reaches his prime."
