Regression Coming? The Data Says Some of These Stars Can’t Keep It Up

Nikola Jokic. Victor Wembanyama. Steph Curry. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Their stats are off the charts — but how much of it is real, and how much is due to outlier performances that can’t hold up?

Josh Lloyd dives into the top 5 and bottom 5 players across fantasy basketball stat categories — points, assists, rebounds, threes, steals, blocks, FG%, FT%, and usage rate — to break down who’s truly elite and who’s living on borrowed time.

Is Wembanyama’s historic block pace sustainable? Could Trae Young’s assist explosion crash? What about Curry’s absurd volume from three? And does Jokic actually face any threat to his value?

Get the nuanced, data-driven take that cuts through the hype. Josh breaks down players like Anthony Edwards, Brandon Miller, Karl-Anthony Towns, Domantas Sabonis, and Walker Kessler, plus reveals sneaky buy-low or sell-high opportunities you need to know right now.
