The fantasy basketball stretch run is heating up, and last week gave managers plenty to talk about. Nikola Jokić continued his assault on the record books. Luka Dončić matched him point-for-point in a technical dead heat, while Victor Wembanyama reminded everyone he's a cheat code even in a limited schedule. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shattered a 63-year-old Wilt Chamberlain record, and Josh Giddey quietly climbed the all-time triple-double list past Michael Jordan. History was made on multiple fronts. Here's how it all shook out.
