POINTS PICKNikola Jokic
Nikola Jokic holds the 2025-26 edge: 17.6 fantasy points per game, finishing #1 overall vs #11. The 2026-27 projection agrees: 62.5 vs 45.7 points per game. That said, Embiid goes 47 picks later by ADP (48.7 vs 2.1), so he is the cheaper route; and Embiid closed the season hotter (+5.1 vs his average), so the gap may be tightening. Nikola Jokic remains the preferred points-league pick.
