It was a short week for teams across the league as the NBA All-Star weekend occurred. The San Francisco three-day festivities celebrate the top players at the halfway mark of the 2024-25 regular season.

Welcome NBA Fans! With the All-Star game in the rearview mirror, we’re officially two months until the NBA playoffs. It will be interesting to see how the stars that were dealt with at the deadline impact how their team will perform in the final stretch and how the play-in race takes form.

The following players averaged the most fantasy points per game last week (two-game minimum): Towns made the most of his two times on the floor in Week 17, posting a pair of double-doubles where he hit the 40-point mark.

The defending NBA champion Boston Celtics post huge road wins over Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks last week.

With teams gearing up for the second half of the season after the all-star break, here are the rankings for all 30 NBA teams after week 17.

Denver has won eight games in a row heading into the All-Star break and they seem to be figuring it all out. Veteran guard Russell Westbrook has looked great in this system and it has the Nuggets clicking on all cylinders. This team will be tough to deal with in the postseason, especially with Nikola Jokic dominating again.

Anyway, with a few games being played at the start of last week and not quite factored by all pundits ranking squads across the nation, it made sense for them to drop a slightly updated version of the Power Rankings coming off the ASW.

The addition of Brandon Ingram should help the Raptors and they now have an established All-Star on the roster. Pairing Ingram with Scottie Barnes could be interesting and Toronto could look to make a late-season push toward the playoffs.
