Canada has become a rising powerhouse in basketball, producing elite-level NBA talent that’s now turning heads — and scoring major points — in fantasy leagues. Whether you’re drafting your first team or adjusting mid-season, here are the top Canadian players you need to keep an eye on.
🇨🇦 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA) – Oklahoma City Thunder
SGA is a fantasy dream come true. He’s a high-usage guard who scores, dishes out assists, and racks up steals. As the focal point of OKC’s offense, he consistently posts 25+ points per game with strong across-the-board stats. If he’s on your team, you’re already winning.
🇨🇦 Jamal Murray – Denver Nuggets
Murray is clutch when healthy. After his playoff heroics and chemistry with Nikola Jokic, his fantasy value skyrocketed. Though he’s a streaky scorer at times, when he’s hot, he delivers huge point totals with assists and three-pointers to boot.
🇨🇦 RJ Barrett – Toronto Raptors
Now with the Raptors, Barrett has a unique opportunity to become a central piece. He’s been showing more consistency with scoring and rebounding, and with increased touches in Toronto, he could be a great mid-round pickup with upside.
🇨🇦 Dillon Brooks – Houston Rockets
Known for his defensive tenacity, Brooks is often overlooked in fantasy. But if your league rewards steals and defensive metrics, he’s a solid asset. Plus, when he gets going offensively, he can surprise with big nights.
🇨🇦 Bennedict Mathurin – Indiana Pacers
One of the most promising young Canadians in the league. Mathurin brings scoring punch off the bench and is slowly working into a bigger role. A great stash or late-round pickup with high upside.
