In Monday’s loss to the Clippers, LaMelo Ball recorded 25 points on 11-of-24 shooting, adding nine rebounds, five assists, a steal, and three three-pointers. Despite a strong finish to 2025, Ball’s scoring has dipped in the new year, with only two 20-point games out of seven this month. Currently averaging 19.3 points on 43.6 percent shooting, he ranks just outside the top-50 in eight-category formats, which might leave fantasy managers expecting more based on his previous performances.
