How this ranking is measured
These 25 are drawn from 315 NBA players ranked in the 2026 regular season. A minimum of 2 FGA per team game is applied. Points per Game measures the average number of points a player scores each game. Figures are as of November 2, 2026 & are recalculated on StatRankings after each game's play-by-play is processed. Prior-season figures are shown for comparison where a player has them.
