Fantasy Basketball: Top 10 3-Point Shooters in 2024-25

This is a fantasy basketball review and analysis of the top 10 3-point shooters in the NBA from the 2024-25 season. It is part of a series of articles that break down the top producers from each key counting statistical category. Three-point shooting is often regarded in fantasy basketball as “the easiest stat to chase” later on in drafts or that can be found on the waiver wire. It is a big boon for fantasy teams if their core players hit triples at a high level, aside from being able to contribute in other categories.

Below is a list of the top 10 league leaders in 3-pointers made at the end of the season. The list displays the players’ total made 3s, 3-pointers made per game, their end-of-season rankings based on 9-cat per-game scoring, and their rankings based on 9-cat totals rankings. Rankings have been sourced from Basketballmonster.com.

Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves

Edwards was an offensive machine in 2024-25, powering the Wolves to another playoff appearance. The 23-year-old wing player not only led the league in total 3-pointers made, but he also finished second in total points scored. He managed to be a fantasy basketball cornerstone in two categories while also having a positive impact in other areas like assists (4.5 APG) and steals (1.2 SPG). His 44.7% shooting from the field was not great, especially considering his high-volume shooting. However, the shooting guard was a net positive when it came to the shots at the foul line, hitting 83.7% of his freebies on an average of 6.3 attempts per game.

Edwards’ star is on the rise, so his finishing inside the top 20 in 9-cat scoring formats is likely something he will surpass in 2025-26. He’s going to be a hot commodity towards the end of the first round of fantasy drafts.

Malik Beasley, Detroit Pistons

Malik Beasley signed with the Pistons as a free agent over the offseason. The move ended up being a big win for the Detroit franchise as the veteran guard provided them with much-needed 3-point shooting and floor spacing. His ability to provide instant offense off the bench was also a big boon to the young team’s rotation.

Unfortunately, from a fantasy basketball perspective, Beasley did not bring much else to the table beyond his threes and 16.3 points per game. He did just enough to be an end-of-bench mainstay on standard-league-sized rosters in fantasy. The sharpshooter is only 28 years old, so he’s got enough left in the tank for him to stay as a top-5 threat in this category next season. However, due to the deficiencies in his game, Beasley is best left as an end-of-draft flier pick.

Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors

“Chef Curry” was able to cook up yet another impressive season, despite seeing downgrades pre-fantasy-draft due to expected age-related decline in production. The 37-year-old played 70 games and proved doubters wrong, delivering a top-10 performance.

How much longer can one of the top three-point shooters in the NBA fend off Father Time? The Warriors will still try for another title run while he’s healthy and productive. Their addition of Jimmy Butler this season signaled as much. Unfortunately for Golden State, both stars are in the twilight of their illustrious NBA careers.

It’s difficult to imagine Curry’s fantasy-friendly game allowing him to fall outside of the top 20 in fantasy drafts. His contributions in points (24.5 PPG), treys (4.4 3PG), assists (6.0 APG), and FT% (93.3% on 4.3 FTA) should be enough to make him a worthy target in the second round of drafts. Like most elite-level vets, Curry will be a viable fantasy asset until he suddenly isn’t, so ride the production while it’s there.

Derrick White, Boston Celtics

Derrick White was one of the sneakier picks in the middle rounds of drafts in 2024-25 (48 ADP on Yahoo!). He’s never been a hot target due to his low-scoring averages (16.4 PPG this season). But to call White a three-point shooting specialist would be way off base.

He saw a pullback in shooting efficiency from the field (44.2% FG), which accounted for his slide in rankings at the end of the season. White still managed to stay a top-50 asset in fantasy basketball thanks to his diverse statistical production. Beyond his 3.5 triples per game, the defense-oriented guard also chipped in 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game. He’s a consummate role player, but has also shown that he won’t shy away from scoring the ball when the Celtics need him to step up. This is something they will need from him in the wake of Jayson Tatum’s tragic injury. Targeting White just inside the top 50 in 2025-26 fantasy basketball drafts is almost guaranteed to pay off in spades.

Payton Pritchard, Boston Celtics

Pritchard won the Sixth Man of the Year award this season, and it was a well-deserved honor. He provided the Celtics with reliable scoring and 3-point shooting in 28.4 minutes per game off the bench. But what made Pritchard such a special asset in fantasy basketball was the fact that he chipped in his 3.2 treys per game while still shooting 47.2% from the field. While his 14.3 PPG is nothing to write home about, Pritchard was able to provide some value in the assists category with 3.5 dimes a night. He should be a sneaky late-round target in drafts in 2025-26 as the Celtics navigate a season without Jayson Tatum.

Tyler Herro, Miami Heat

Tyler Herro became the focal point of the Heat offense as the team ushered in the post-Jimmy-Butler era. Herro ended up delivering a quality season. The 25-year-old guard cleaned up his shooting efficiency for a career-best 47.2% FG. While he remained notorious for his porous defense, Herro did enough work on the glass to finish as a 20-5-5 producing guard. This opened the door for him to crack the top 30 in end-of-season fantasy basketball rankings.

The Heat are expected to continue iterating on their post-Butler rebuild, shining a spotlight on both Herro and Bam Adebayo. Things are lining up nicely for Herro to be primed for another impressive run in 2025-26. He should project to have a safe top-50 floor with clear top-25 upside.

Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics

Tatum has been a mainstay in the first round of fantasy basketball drafts for multiple seasons now. He finished just shy of the top 12 (13th) in 9-cat per-game rankings. He’s an elite scorer (26.8 PPG) who also delivers across multiple categories. Aside from his 3.5 triples per game, Tatum also brings 8.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per game to the table.

Unfortunately, the season-ending injury to his Achilles in the playoffs leaves Tatum out of the fantasy basketball conversation for the 2025-26 season.

Zach LaVine, Sacramento Kings

Zach LaVine landed with the Kings as part of a blockbuster three-team trade in February 2025. He and former Bulls teammate DeMar DeRozan shouldered the team’s offense, but for the most part, LaVine’s production stayed close to what he delivered in Chicago. At the end of the day, what was most notable about LaVine’s season was the 74 games he managed to play. This was the second-most he’s played (77 in 2022-23) since being traded to Chicago in 2016-17.

LaVine was a force in fantasy basketball in 2024-25 due to his 23.3 PPG, 3.2 3PG, 4.2 APG on excellent 51.1% shooting from the field. His defensive numbers remain virtually non-existent, and his 2.8 turnover rate remains the factors that limit his fantasy outlook. The high-flying guard’s storied injury history should keep his market appeal in check. Look to target him closer to the top 75 in drafts in 2025-26.

James Harden, Los Angeles Clippers

James Harden had a lot of steam heading into drafts in 2024-25. GMs who aggressively targeted him in the wake of Paul George’s departure were rewarded handsomely. Harden proved to be durable, playing 79 games. He also stepped up his production, notching 22.8 PPG, 3.0 3PG, 5.8 RPG, 8.7 APG and 1.5 SPG. Despite the negatives of his 41.0% FG and 4.3 turnovers per game, The Beard was able to end his 2024-25 campaign as the 15th-best player in 9-cat per-game rankings.

Harden is on the wrong side of 30, 35 years of age. To his credit, Harden has managed to play in over 70 games in each of his two seasons with the Clippers. They will need him to keep up his elite production if they’re to make a run at a championship. Harden’s resurgence in L.A. is inspiring, providing a beacon of hope that he can come close to replicating his numbers come 2025-26. He should remain a solid second-round target in drafts this coming season.

Jordan Poole, Washington Wizards

The Wizards don’t have a lot of scorers on their team. Carrying their offense rests squarely on the shoulders of Jordan Poole. He started off the season on fire, with efficient shooting, and even led the league in steals early on. Those numbers ended up tapering off as the season went on. Poole’s regression to his mean was not a complete one as he notched a respectable average of 1.3 steals per game after the dust of the season settled. This allowed him to finish inside the top 75 in 9-cat scoring formats. The improved defense from Poole lends credence to the idea that he can break out from the shell of being just a score-first guard. Whether or not those steals are here to stay or were just part of an outlier season will be tested in 2025-26.

The Wizards’ rebuild is a work in progress, leaving Poole as the team’s primary scorer. At the minimum, he should be a shoe-in to be a points-and-3s contributor with some defensive upside next season.
