The past week was the kind that fantasy basketball fans love because there was so much to digest. Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Beluga 2.0 Grey/Bold Orange . Well get to that later, but first lets focus on some of the weeks biggest risers -- Bradley Beal, Nikola Jokic and Eric Gordon.Beal is proving me wrong with how well hes played over the past month. He looks like the star many expected him to be when he was selected No. 3 overall out of Florida in 2012. He scored 41 points against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, and he is averaging 24.3 points in his last 10 games while making 3.2 3s per game in that span. He moves all the way from 49 to 33.Jokic was one of the risers last week, and we had to keep moving him up (from 85 to 47) based on his continued torrid stretch; in his last five games, the second-year big man averaged 18.2 points, 9 rebounds and 5.8 assists. He has also shot a ridiculous 72.2 percent from the field during that stretch. Jokics rise has come at the cost of Jusuf Nurkic, who has fallen almost entirely out of the Nuggets rotation and completely out of our top 150.And then theres Gordon, the veteran shooting guard who never quite got his career on track until coming to Houston. He is averaging 20 points in his last five games while making 5.2 3s and dishing out 3.4 assists per game, moving from 95 to 72 in the process. On a team thats free to jack up 3-pointers at a record pace, as Houston is, Gordon is a perfect fit in coach Mike DAntonis system and is flourishing in fantasy.Plenty of other news caused shifts in the rankings.Blake Griffin and Clint Capela both went down with injuries that will keep them off the court well into January. They fall to No. 54 and 112, respectively. Their likely replacements, Marreese Speights (138) and Montrezl Harrell (148), both move into the top 150.Mike Conley returned to the court less than three weeks after suffering a small fracture in his back. Who saw that coming? We had moved Conley all the way down to 97 with the idea that hed be out much longer, but he moves back up to 60.Tyreke Evans made his season-debut but was limited to 11 minutes in his first game back, then sat out to rest the following game and played only 15 minutes in the third game. Hes already been ruled out for Tuesdays contest against Philadelphia and its clear that it will be a while before Evans plays the type of minutes where he can be a fantasy asset. He makes a minor move from 99 to 97.Gary Harris returned from a month-long absence and immediately gave the Nuggets what theyd been missing on both ends of the court. In the three games since his return, he averaged 19.3 PPG, 3 RPG, 4 APG and 1.7 SPG. He advances all the way up to 109 in his return to the rankings.Notables who saw their stock drop most - aside from Griffin, Capela and Nurkic - include Tim Frazier (83 to 93), George Hill (82 to 105), Dirk Nowitzki (96 to 116) and Maurice Harkless (117 to 141).Here is the full rundown of the updated Top 150 rankings: New Yeezy 350 v2 2019 .
