Giannis Antetokounmpo’s dominant stretch has elevated his NBA 2K25 overall rating to 98, tying him with Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic for the highest rating in the game. Antetokounmpo has been instrumental in the Milwaukee Bucks’ resurgence after a slow start to the season.

On the season, he is averaging 32.6 points, 11.6 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game with a 61.6% field goal percentage. Antetokounmpo’s consistent impact on both ends of the court has solidified his place as one of the league’s top performers and earned him this ratings boost.

Ja Morant’s return to form has been pivotal for the Memphis Grizzlies, who currently hold a 14-8 record and sit fourth in the Western Conference. After missing most of last season due to suspension and injuries, Morant has quickly reestablished himself as a driving force for his team.

In the Grizzlies’ last 10 games, during which they’ve gone 7-3, Morant has averaged 21.8 points, 9.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 46% from the field. His season averages stand at 22 points, a career-high 8.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and one steal per game with a 46.8% field goal percentage.

This strong performance has earned Morant a one-point increase in his NBA 2K25 overall rating, bringing him to a 91. His leadership and playmaking have been instrumental in Memphis’ success.
