NBA 2K24 Apr 18 ratings update: Shai, Paolo & more rise

The latest NBA 2K24 ratings update, which went live on April 18, featured upgrades for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Brunson, two players expected to be key names during the NBA Playoffs.

The NBA Playoffs will officially kick off this weekend after the end of the Play-In games, which have already seen the Lakers and 76ers punch their tickets into the first round. The Play-Ins have really shaken up the NBA 2K24 ratings.

On April 18, the NBA 2K24 team dropped the pre-NBA Playoffs ratings update, one that keys in on several big names that are poised to take over during the playoffs.

Among those names include Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Paolo Banchero, and Jalen Brunson.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the featured player of Season 6 in NBA 2K24, is up to a 97 OVR in NBA 2K24. Shai wasn’t the only Thunder to rise, as Jalen Williams (86 OVR) and Josh Giddey (82 OVR), the latter of whom rose in the last update, also moved up.

Jalen Brunson helped the Knicks clinch the #2 seed in the East, and the New York star was rewarded with a +1 OVR upgrade to 93 OVR. Paolo Banchero, meanwhile, is up to an 88 OVR while teammate Franz Wagner jumped up to 85 OVR.
