Join the best NBA 2K26 MyCareer teams by position to fast-track build progress and easily secure championship wins.
When starting the MyCareer game mode in NBA 2K26, you are drafted to a random team to begin with. However, you can switch over to any team during your career. Joining the right team according to your position can allow you to progress your build and win championships with greater ease. Here are the best teams you can join, preferably replacing their weakest player.
NBA 2K26: Top Teams to Join in MyCareer
Center: Los Angeles Lakers
| Player | Position | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Luka Doncic | PG | 95 |
| Austin Reaves | SG | 85 |
| LeBron James | SF | 94 |
| Rui Hachimura | PF | 80 |
| Deandre Ayton | C | 79 |
When starting your career as a center, the Lakers are the most powerful team to aim for. You will be replacing Deandre Ayton and should get the most rebounds during matches. Doncic and James can lob the ball to you while the team’s shooters provide spacing on offense. Apart from choosing the Lakers for easy wins, you can also go with the Boston Celtics, who have a well-rounded team.

Power Forward: New York Knicks
| Player | Position | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Jalen Brunson | PG | 93 |
| Mikal Bridges | SG | 84 |
| OG Anunoby | SF | 85 |
| Josh Hart | PF | 81 |
| Karl-Anthony Towns | C | 92 |
To secure easy championship wins, join the New York Knicks and take Josh Hart’s place as the team’s power forward. While Bridges passes the ball to you reliably, Anunoby and Bridges consistently remain open for and nail three-pointers. You can also join the Indiana Pacers as a power forward, but Tyrese Haliburton is injured almost immediately as the season begins.
Small Forward: Cleveland Cavaliers
| Player | Position | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Darius Garland | PG | 87 |
| Donovan Mitchell | SG | 93 |
| Max Strus | SF | 77 |
| Evan Mobley | PF | 89 |
| Jarrett Allen | C | 84 |
Joining the Cleveland Cavaliers means replacing Max Strus as small forward. You can lob the ball to Allen and Mobley, and rely on Garland for consistent setups. You can also go with the Atlanta Hawks for similarly positive results and all but guaranteed championship wins.
Shooting Guard: Oklahoma City Thunder
| Player | Position | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | PG | 98 |
| Luguentz Dort | SG | 81 |
| Jalen Williams | SF | 90 |
| Chet Holmgren | PF | 88 |
| Isaiah Hartenstein | C | 82 |
As a shooting guard, you can replace Luguentz Dort and join the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team breezes through all championships in its career and is one of the easiest to win with. The Los Angeles Clippers are a strong alternative with a similarly powerful team.
Point Guard: Minnesota Timberwolves
| Player | Position | Overall Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Mike Conley | PG | 78 |
| Anthony Edwards | SG | 95 |
| Jaden McDaniels | SF | 82 |
| Julius Randle | PF | 86 |
| Rudy Gobert | C | 84 |
If you are playing as a point guard in MyCareer, the Timberwolves are the number one team for you to join. Your character will be replacing Mike Conley in a well-balanced squad. With such a stacked team, you have a variety of options to score points easily.
Gobert expertly receives lobs for grinding badges, Edwards assists consistently, and your character can play offensively as the main point guard. The Houston Rockets are another well-rounded team you can join as a point guard to bag championship wins easily.
