Bennedict Mathurin, the Los Angeles Clippers guard, has rapidly ascended in fantasy basketball rankings, currently ranked 74th overall in Yahoo’s High Score 100 as of February 24, 2026. This marks a significant jump of 18 spots from his previous rank, reflecting his strong performance since joining the Clippers.
Mathurin’s impact has been immediately felt in Los Angeles. Over his first three games following the All-Star break, he averaged 28.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 32 minutes per game. He recently tied his career-high with 38 points against the Denver Nuggets on February 20, followed by 26 points against the Los Angeles Lakers and 21 points versus the Orlando Magic, according to Yahoo Sports reporting.
The Clippers are utilizing Mathurin as a key offensive option alongside Kawhi Leonard, particularly with Darius Garland still adjusting to his new team and unable to debut. This increased role has translated to a substantial increase in shot attempts, with Mathurin taking three more shots per game than he previously did. He is also drawing fouls at a high rate, averaging almost nine free throw attempts per game as a Clipper. His usage rate has jumped to 31%, contributing to his success in High Score fantasy formats.
Mathurin ranked 23rd in High Score over the last seven days and 36th over the last 14 days, demonstrating his consistent high-level production. Continued performance at this pace could see him climb even higher in the rankings.
The High Score 100, a new fantasy basketball format on Yahoo, tracks the top 100 players based on year-to-date performance and recent production. Other notable risers include Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen, who jumped 21 spots to 69th and Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier, who moved up 14 spots to 87th.
Conversely, several players have fallen in the rankings. Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner has dropped 45 spots to 95th overall due to a lingering ankle injury. Clippers guard Darius Garland has fallen 12 spots to 82nd, also due to an ankle injury, and Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porziņģis has dropped 11 spots to 90th due to health issues.
The complete High Score 100 rankings are available on Yahoo Sports, with Kings forward Domantas Sabonis recently removed from the list after being ruled out for the remainder of the season.
