POINT GUARDS

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Russell WestbrookOKC4Westbrook gets the top spot with the extra game this week and he will continue to help in all fantasy categories.
2 
Stephen Curry
GSW3It says a lot for Curry to get the No. 2 spot with other dominant guards having the second game..but it's Curry!
3Damian LillardPOR4Lillard has been on a mission since he got snubbed from the Western Conference All-Star team and he continues to be an excellent scorer. 
4John WallWSH4With the Wizards at full strength, a lot of the burden is now off Wall meaning that he should be able to improve his assist numbers.
5Chris PaulLAC3Paul continues to show why he is a No. 1 NBA option and Blake Griffin isn't as the Clippers offense seems to run better through the guards. 
6Kyle LowryTOR3Lowry continues to be an amazing scoring guard who is always involved in the offense and is excellent at running the floor and being the floor general when he needs to be. 
7Rajon RondoSAC4MINOR INJURY CONCERN (Thumb): The sore Thumb is a bit of a concern, but Rondo can still make crisp passes to the trailing team member. 
8Isaiah ThomasBOS4Thomas' shot selection improves more and more and he is excellent at working his way in the lane and is not afraid to draw contact. 
9Mike ConleyMEM4Conley will need to be more of an offensive threat as Memphis lacks a lot in the front court outside of Zach Randolph. 
10Kemba WalkerCHA3Walker will continue to provide most of the offense with Al Jefferson still on a minutes restriction and Nicolas Batum struggling.
11Reggie JacksonDET3Jackson will continue to be more of a passing guard with the new additions to the Pistons frontcourt. 
12Jrue HolidayNOR3Holiday is needed to play deep into games with health issues hampering the Pelicans all year and he should be able to compile more assists with Eric Gordon back in the lineup. 
13Jeff TeagueATL3Teague continues to work the floater well, but his jump shooting remains inconsistent. He has done a good job setting up Al Horford lately. 
14Ricky RubioMIN3Rubio continues to thrive when he doesn't shoot and plays the role of facilitator. He is an excellent passer. 
15Ish SmithPHI4Smith has been a bit inconsistent lately, but remains the only reliable scoring guard on the Sixers and he is excellent at running the floor. 
16Derrick RoseCHI3INJURY CONCERN (Hamstring): If Rose plays, he will need to play a huge scoring factor because Jimmy Butler and Nikola Mirotic are still out. 
17George HillIND4Hill is over his injuries and returns to being the open off-guard and bail out option at the key when Paul George is double teamed. 
18Lou WilliamsLAL4Williams is excellent at driving the baseline to the rim and is also aggressive and always follows his own shots. 
19Jordan ClarksonLAL4Clarkson is the more flashy guard on this Lakers team who thrives off energy and when he is hot, he picks up more speed and burns teams from the elbow. 
20Deron WilliamsDAL3Williams is a soldier for playing through a dislocated finger and his passes don't seem to be impacted by it. 

SHOOTING GUARDS

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1James HardenHOU4Harden is one of the most prolific scorers in the league and remains the Rockets' lone consistent option. 
2 
C.J. McCollum
POR4McCollum has picked up his scoring lately and he and Lillard have shown they are all the Blazers have in terms of scoring. 
3Kyrie IrvingCLE4Not only does Irving continue to pick up speed, but he is once again sneaking in the lane and making quick scoop layups against bigger defenders. 
4Klay ThompsonGSW3Thompson continues to be a good wing man for Curry as both seem to heat up at the same time and that definitely helps with late game deficits. 
5Gordon HaywardUT4Hayward continues to be an excellent floor runner and continues to improve his isolation game. He is excellent at reading screens. 
6Dwyane WadeMIA4Wade will absolutely be needed on the scoring front with Chris Bosh likely done for the season and he will pick up even more shots. 
7Will BartonDEN4Barton gets the bump up in the rankings because he will now be picking up the scoring burden with Danilo Gallinari sidelined for the next month. 
8Bradley BealWSH4Beal continues to wear a protective mask while playing and takes a ton of hits, but he continues to be a good wing option when the Wizards run into good transition defense. 
9Goran DragicMIA4Dragic continues to move up the rankings because of all of the injuries on the Heat as scary as this sounds; his jump-shooting will be needed when Wade gets doubled. 
10Victor OladipoORL3Oladipo is a multi-category helper who is starting to learn to never be in the corner with the ball. He has been passing off a lot more. 
11Kobe BryantLAL4MINOR INJURY CONCERN (Shoulder): Bryant is allowed as many shots as he wants when he is on the court. 
12Nicolas BatumCHA3Batum has struggled scoring, but continues to keep his shot selection and spot up for three and give the Hornets second-chance opportunities. 
13Eric GordonNOR3Gordon's return is absolutely needed as he will be expected to take a ton of long range shots off screens and will not be in much of a time-share for minutes. 
14J.J. RedickLAC3With the Clippers guards very much in rhythm, Redick gets a ton of credit for how mobile he is while on the court and is always able to find openings on the court. 
15Evan FournierORL3MINOR INJURY CONCERN (Wrist): Fournier continues to be a reliable secondary scoring option who starts from the key and while new acquisitions continue to learn the system, Fournier will keep his playing time. 
16Monta EllisIND4Ellis is in a major time share for playing time and he has proven to be a good change of pace player with the Pacers' second unit. It is hard to tell how much time he will get per game. 
17Rodney HoodUT4Hood is the Jazz change of pace player who hits shots in close games and is excellent at the pick and roll and is able to work his way inside. 
18Avery BradleyBOS4Bradley tweaked his ankle, but it should not be too concerning as he continues to find open shots from downtown. 
19Kentavious Caldwell-PopeDET3KCP is likely to move up after this week as he looks like he is at full strength and continues to do damage from the corner on offense and is able to drive successfully. 
20J.R. SmithCLE3It may never look pretty but Smith forces enough shots up to be a considerable option. Smith makes a ton of wild shots and continues to secure playing time because of his ball-handling skills. 

SMALL FORWARDS

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Kevin DurantOKC4Durant continues to be an excellent scorer and rebounder and has not shown any sign of health issues. 
2 
Paul George
IND4George gets the No. 2 spot because he has been able to help effectively in multiple fantasy categories. 
3LeBron JamesCLE3James is very effective from a fantasy standpoint, and he should be well "rested" for this week's game after getting Sunday off. 
4Kawhi LeonardSAS3Leonard continues to be an excellent outside player who is able to create inside. Leonard is often able to position himself in the middle of the paint. 
5DeMar DeRozanTOR3DeRozan has amazing agility and is able to draw a lot of contact and still get enough hang time to put the ball up for a chance for a three point play.
6Carmelo AnthonyNYK3We all know Anthony loves to score, but he has also been an underrated rebounder this season. 
7Tobias HarrisDET3Harris will continue to be able to create in the high post, and should be able to make the quick entry pass to Drummond helping his assist total. 
8Giannis AntetokounmpoMIL4Anything the Greek Freak gives you offensively should be viewed as an added bonus, but he is always able to produce on defense. 
9Rudy GaySAC4Gay continues to find himself open and burn teams from long range. Gay continues to get a ton of shot opportunities when Cousins is doubled. 
10Khris MiddletonMIL4Middleton continues to shoot well from the outside and is an excellent bail out option when another member of the Bucks offense draws the double. 
11Thaddeus YoungBKN4No more Jarrett Jack; no more Joe Johnson, meaning that the offensive attack rests on Young and  Brook Lopez.
12Andrew WigginsMIN3Wiggins continues to shoot well from the outside and elbow, but needs to start creating and looking to drive the lane first before settling for jumpers. 
13Jae CrowderBOS4Crowder continues to call for the ball in the post and makes a quick step in the lane looking for contact and then positions himself in the paint to get his own rebound. 
14Trevor ArizaHOU4Ariza continues to be an excellent perimeter defender and perimeter shooter. You can count on him for steals, threes and a few rebounds. 
15Otto PorterWSH4Porter will be playing both forward positions and will need to develop more of a post presence and a spin move to the basket in order to draw more contact. 
16Matt BarnesMEM4With lack of scoring depth due to injuries and the departure of Jeff Green, Barnes will continue to get the ball in the high post and take baby jumpers.
17Luol DengMIA4This could very well be Deng's final time in these rankings as it undetermined how much playing time his new teammate Joe Johnson will get, but he has been scoring and rebounding more consistenly in recent weeks. 
18Chandler ParsonsDAL3Playing time is no longer an issue for Parsons, but shot selection is and his scoring pattern seems to be feast or famine. 
19Kent BazemoreATL3Bazemore continues to get shot opportunities but he has certainly had his fair share of struggles in February. He needs to re-focus and get back to posting up. 
20Harrison BarnesGSW3Barnes is excellent with the Warriors second unit and plays solid defense that secures him even more playing time, but it is hard to determine how many shots he will get in a game. 

POWER FORWARDS

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Draymond GreenGSW3Even when Green is cold from the field, he is a major help in other fantasy categories.
2 
Anthony Davis
NOR3Davis has shown that he is much more dominant when he starts his attacking the rim from the top of the paint and not hanging around by the key. 
3Kevin LoveCLE3Love continues to see much more success when starting from the elbow and we have seen a lot more of his post-game. 
4Paul MillsapATL3Millsap continues to be hard to stop when he is backing his defender down and he is quick when firing at the basket and is able to get open. 
5Greg MonroeMIL4Monroe continues to suceed by using his post moves, excellent pivots and being able to follow his own shots easily. 
6Derrick FavorsUT4Favors continues to work the paint and be a consistent scorer and rebounder since returning from his back injury and has enough room to work because Gobert is a low-post specific player. 
7LaMarcus AldridgeSAS3Aldridge has been more successful at hitting long range jumpers and is a reliable rebounder on defense. Aldridge has an excellent post game and is always able to position himself to see the basket in the post.
8Pau GasolCHI3Gasol is one of the few "healthy" members of the Bulls and continues to dominate in the post. 
9Serge IbakaOKC4Ibaka, like Anthony Davis, needs to shoot less jumpers and use his incredible size to work his way inside. Ibaka is an excellent producer on defense. 
10Zach RandolphMEM4Randolph continues to be Memphis' lone low-post scoring option and will continue to pick up more shots at the elbow. 
11Kenneth FariedDEN4With top scoring option Danilo Gallinari sidelined for a month, Faried will need to command the ball in the low post and will see a lot more opportunities to create and improve his offensive attack. 
12Robert CovingtonPHI4Covington continues to succeed in the post and is a reliable rebounder who knows when not to force up shots and pass back out and reset the offense. 
13Jared SullingerBOS4Sullinger is one of the most reliable rebounders in the league, but it is hard to tell how much he will get the ball in the low post. It helps for him that Kelly Olynyk is still hurt.
14Kristaps PorzingisNYK3Porzingis continues to be one of the best moving big men in the league, who is a reliable shooter, good floor runner/trailer and is a flashy put-back machine. 
15Tim DuncanSAS3Duncan continues to use the glass to his liking and dominate the low post on both sides of the ball. On defense, he is such a wall and doesn't get faked out making him a prime blocks producer. 
16Dirk NowitzkiDAL 3Nowitzki has become a shoot-first forward and does not look to drive the lane as much. Nowitzki has been a dominant scorer lately on a team with a bunch of shot-happy players. 
17Aaron GordonORL3Gordon has tremendous leaping ability (as we have seen) and is a quick defender and needs to develop a more consistent offensive attack. Gordon is very effective on the glass.
18Gorgui DiengMIN3Dieng continues to be an excellent complimentary frontcourt player to Karl-Anthony Towns because he contols the low block and is hard to box out inside. 
19Al-Farouq AminuPOR4Aminu has been very inconsistent and frustrating to his owners, but with a lack of front-court aggresivness, Aminu still gets playing time and attempts to create inside. 
20Marvin WilliamsCHA3Williams is coming off three games where he shown a ton of rebounding and put-back consistency and is starting to command the ball more in the post. 

CENTERS

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1DeMarcus CousinsSAC4Cousins continues to be the most dominant offensive big man in the NBA and he can even bring the ball up full-court himself. 
2 
Karl-Anthony Towns
MIN3Towns continues to impress as he is an excellent mid-range shooter and is just as reliable at driving inside. 
3Andre DrummondDET3Drummond is still the most effective low-block centers and he is among the hardest players in the league to box out. 
4Hassan WhitesideMIA4Whiteside has been on a tear producing double-doubles and trying to make up for what the Heat lost in Chris Bosh. 
5Al HorfordATL3Horford has been seeing a ton of offensive success in recent weeks and has settled for less jumpers and has attacked the rim more. 
6DeAndre JordanLAC3Jordan is a liability on offense, unless he is the recipient of a Chris Paul ally-oop or a put-back. Jordan is one of the most reliable defensive centers. 
7Nikola VucevicORL3Vucevic continues to show why he has one of the best post games in the league. He is quick in the post, has a quick spin to the basket and does not give up on a rebound. 
8Brook LopezBKN4Lopez has become a No. 1 scoring option with Joe Johnson gone and a number of big injuries. Lopez can shoot close to 50 percent from outside the paint. 
9Rudy GobertUT4Gobert has great ups and is a blocks machine, but he is a low-block specific player who will see most of his offensive production from putbacks. 
10Marcin GortatWSH4Gortat has been an excellent rebounder and the addition of Markieff Morris should not impact Gortat's playing time or positioning in the post. 
11Dwight HowardHOU4As frustrating as Howard is to watch, he is a very reliable rebounder and blocker. It is just hard to tell how much he will be commanding the ball in the post. 
12Jonas ValanciunasTOR3Valanciunas continues to show how much he improved his jumper and will continue to be more controlled when he has the ball inside. 
13Ryan AndersonNOR3Anderson is a matchup nightmare because of his shooting range and gets a ton of open looks each game. Anderson is also good at driving the lane and working the post. 
14Zaza PachuliaDAL3Pachulia continues to be a consistent rebounder and low block option on both sides of the ball for the Mavericks. 
15Jahlil OkaforPHI4Okafor continues to show his impressive footwork in the high post on offense, but gets caught in the paint on defense leading to easy buckets on the other side of the ball. 
16Nerlens NoelPHI4Noel has incredible ups and will provide blocks and rebounds, but for him to be productive on the scoring front, the pick and roll between he and Ish Smith needs to working effectively. 
17Robin LopezNYK3Lopez is seeing a lot more production on offense and he has been rebounding a lot more consistently. Lopez has an excellent one handed hook that is very hard to defend. 
18Al JeffersonCHA3Jefferson is a very effective Center on both sides of the ball, but he continues to play under 30 minutes per game as he is still testing out his injured knee. 
19Nikola JokicDEN4Jokic is another player who will pick up more plays in the post on offense with Gallinari out for the next month. 
20Myles TurnerIND4Turner is not the flashiest player, but the Pacers coaching staff loves his hard work, dedication, rebounding ability and he even gets plays called for him deep in the 4th quarter showing he has security with playing time.
