We're recapping Week 20's top performers in Yahoo High Score fantasy basketball.

The fantasy basketball regular season should be over for most leagues with the playoffs set to begin in Week 21. If you need some help prepping for your playoff matchup and beyond, Dan Titus has you covered here with his complete postseason primer . It appeared Nikola Jokić was going to end the season with the highest single-game fantasy point output.

The Nuggets All-Star posted 108 fantasy points on Christmas Day against the T-Wolves. But Heat big Bam Adebayo had different ideas. Last week, Bam scored 83 points and 110 fantasy points against the Wizards in one of the whackiest games in NBA history.

We’ll get into that a bit more below, as well as the rest of the top High Score performances from Week 20.

Dončić shot 17-of-31 from the floor and 9-of-14 from long distance as well as 8-of-9 from the stripe. He also came an assist shy of a triple-double and had five stocks in the win. The Lakers star should be on plenty of playoff rosters as a top-five asset in High Score in its first season.
