Fantasy Basketball Bold Predictions: Ant-Man wins scoring title, Wemby makes history and more hot takes

With the 2026-27 NBA season set to tip off Tuesday night, Yahoo and RotoWire contributors are rolling out fantasy basketball bold predictions for the coming year. Dan Titus forecasts Anthony Edwards will win the scoring title, projecting a top-12 finish in per-game value if Minnesota leans into him as a full-time point guard again. The piece argues the Naz Reid–for–LaMelo Ball trade shifts more offensive responsibility to Ball, allowing Edwards back to his preferred scorer role, while also noting tougher competition from Luka Dončić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jayson Tatum. Other takes include Brandon Miller finishing as a top-20 value option, built around expected increased usage and minutes, plus a mention that Stephon Castle could make a big 9-cat leap.
