As NBA players perform well in their games each week, the 2K Sports crew takes notice. They’ve now dropped the latest NBA 2K19 player ratings in conjunction with which players were giving great efforts. In addition, they’ve adjusted ratings downward for those players who need to step their games up. Among this week’s risers are a consistent big man from Orlando and a recently-named NBA Player of the Month.
NBA 2K19 Player Ratings rise for Vucevic, Harris
Nikola Vucevic has helped the Orlando Magic remain amongst the contending teams in the Eastern Conference. For the current season, Vucevic is putting up 20.9 points, bringing in 11.3 rebounds, and dishing out 3.8 assists per game. As a result, his Magic are competitive in the East and capable of winning games on any given night.
Vucevic’s consistent double-doubles with top scoring performances have led to him receiving a sweet three-point boost in his NBA 2K19 ratings. Only three other players join Vucevic with three-point boosts this week: Rookie Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Clippers, 78), Montrezl Harrell (Rockets, 82), and Thomas Bryant (71).

The NBA named its two Player of the Month winners for November recently with the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo and Clippers’ Tobias Harris claiming the Eastern and Western editions of the award, respectively. They each received player rooting boosts as a result of their hard work.
Giannis went up a point to become a 95 overall and No. 4 among all players in the game. Harris moved up by two points to become an 86. Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley did the same, to also achieve an 86 based on his recent performances.
NBA 2K19 Player Ratings: Declining Players
There are a number of players who simply haven’t been playing up to expectations lately. There weren’t any major stars slumping too badly this week. However, 2K decided to adjust several stars down by a point including the Sixers’ Jimmy Butler (89), Rockets’ Chris Paul (87), and Spurs’ LaMarcus Aldrige (85). All three are still All-Star caliber players so need to worry too much just yet as they can heat up in any game.
Last week’s player ratings changes saw Gordon Hayward downgraded, but there’s nothing that serious this time around. There were just three players who were adjusted down by two points. The Celtics Terry Rozier is now a 77 overall, while the Kings’ Skal Labissiere is down to a 73, and Langston Galloway is a 72.
