Notes 
 James Harden rebounded in 2024-25, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists, and 5.8 boards across 79 games for the Clippers, then posted 18.7/9.1 in the playoffs. He re-signed in July on a reported two-year, $81.5M deal, locking in his role as L.A.'s lead creator. For 2025-26, expect top-30 fantasy value built on elite assists, strong FT volume, and threes-plus the typical FG% and turnover tax. At 36, he logged heavy minutes last year, but managers should budget for occasional maintenance nights.

Towns' numbers are almost identical year-over-year, with small dips in points and rebounds but the same shooting efficiency. He's still a rare big who won't hurt you at the line and can stretch the floor with threes. That makes him a safe early-round anchor, even if the upside isn't what it once was.
