It was a fairly unsurprising Week 14 from a fantasy sense, as three of our top five this week are also in the top 10 fantasy rankings for the season. We also have Ja Morant, who's now set for another multi-game absence due to an elbow injury, holding on to his No. 3 spot from last week despite having played just one game.
The following players averaged the most fantasy points per game last week (one-game minimum)
Week 14 Fantasy Basketball Power Rankings
#1. Luka Dončić, Lakers 
Last Week: 71.3 FP/G Season Rank: 2 (64.9 FP/G)
Dončić put together a highly productive week that saw him stuff the stat sheet in signature fashion, as he averaged 34.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 2.0 steals across 38 minutes per game over three contests. The superstar guard shot an efficient 49.2% in the process, contributed a minimum of a double-double in each game, and tallied multiple steals in two of them. Dončić also got to the line a whopping 37 times during that stretch and converted 32 of those visits into points, making it a stellar all-around week befitting the No. 1 slotting.
#2. Jalen Johnson, Hawks 
Last Week: 61.2 FP/G Season Rank: 6 (54.8 FP/G)
Johnson left some recent struggles firmly in the rearview mirror in Week 14, as he looked back to his old self while nearly leading Atlanta to a 3-0 week. The Hawks dropped a two-point decision to the Bucks to open Week 14, but Johnson's 28-point,

#2. Jalen Johnson, Hawks 
Last Week: 61.2 FP/G Season Rank: 6 (54.8 FP/G)
Johnson left some recent struggles firmly in the rearview mirror in Week 14, as he looked back to his old self while nearly leading Atlanta to a 3-0 week. The Hawks dropped a two-point decision to the Bucks to open Week 14, but Johnson's 28-point, 16-rebound double-double in that game was the start of his emergence from a three-game downturn. He followed up that effort with another pair of double-doubles that also included tallies of eight and nine assists, and he also shot 49.2%, including 40.0% from 3-point range, over the entirety of the period.
#3. Ja Morant, Grizzlies 
Last Week: 61.0 FP/G Season Rank: 35 (42.9 FP/G)
As already mentioned, Morant is back on the shelf, but the star guard made his presence felt in his one time on the floor in Week 14. Ja faced off with Johnson and the Hawks on Wednesday and made excellent use of his 30 minutes, posting a 23-point, 12-assist double-double that also included two rebounds, a steal and three blocks in a narrow 124-122 defeat for Memphis. Morant complemented his solid 7-for-15 showing from the floor with a perfect 8-for-8 performance from the free-throw line, once again offering a reminder of what he can offer when he isn't battling the injury bug.
#4. Joel Embiid, 76ers 
Last Week: 60.6 FP/G Season Rank: 27 (44.8 FP/G)
Embiid had one of those deceptive weeks when one can almost forget the injury issues. The big man sat out the second leg of a back-to-back against the Suns on Tuesday for injury management, but he was otherwise in vintage form while averaging 33.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists. The trio of 30+ point tallies were the byproduct of extremely efficient shooting, as Embiid knocked down 57.9% of his shots overall, including 55.6% of his attempts from behind the arc.
#5. Tyrese Maxey, 76ers 
Last Week: 59.6 FP/G Season Rank: 4 (57.1 FP/G)
Maxey was right alongside Embiid during Philly's 2-2 week, although he took a bit of a step back in his usage with his teammate enjoying such a productive stretch. Maxey finished with averages of 26.8 points, 7.8 assists, 2.8 rebounds and an impressive 4.0 steals while logging a robust 41.0 minutes per contest across four games. Some shooting struggles – he found the net on only 27.6% of his 7.3 3-point attempts per contest – prevented him from an even bigger week, although Maxey did help himself plenty by draining 93.8% of his 16 free-throw attempts.
