RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Stephen Curry GSW5Curry takes the top spot w/ the super-slate and his usage will go up even more if Kevin Durant has to sit for a game or two this week. If that's the case, he becomes the solo top option for GSW.
2Kyrie Irving BOS4Irving is fully healthy, but owners should always be on high alert because the Celtics have no problem resting him randomly to preserve him for the playoffs. 
3Kemba Walker CHA4There hasn't been any reports from the Hornets regarding shutting Walker down. He's elevated his game to a new level as he's auditioning for a max contract in the summer. 
4Chris Paul HOU4Paul has been able to stay healthy and the Rockets second scoring option will get a lot of shots in the offense and obviously help out big time w/ dimes. 
5De'Aaron Fox SAC4The Kings speed as a whole is incredible and Fox gets a lot of credit for that. He's great not only in transition but even when the defense is set, he's always able to get to the basket. 
6Kyle Lowry TOR4INJ: There's a chance that Lowry will miss first game of the week as he's been dealing w/ a sprained Ankle. He's missed his last two games.
7Damian Lillard POR3Even w/ three games, Lillard will have to take on a bigger role w/ C.J. McCollum hurt and out for virtually the entire week. Expect more shots and time w/ the ball for Lillard. 
8Jamal Murray DEN4Murray is a shoot-first PG, but he'll get a high volume of shots as the second scoring option and he has plenty of other pieces to work with when it comes to assists. 
9Eric Bledsoe MIL4Bledsoe's usage will go up even more as it's looking like Malcolm Brogdon is likely out for the rest of the regular season. He'll get more shots and time w/ the ball and his minutes will go up. 
10Ben Simmons PHI3Simmons is one of the best drivers in the game. He's explosive and hard to stop once he steps in the paint and w/ no Joel Embiid to start his week, his usage will go up. 
11Reggie Jackson DET4Jackson has had a productive season as the Pistons third scoring option and he'll get a lot of chances to feed his skilled front court and compile dimes. He's left open at the arc a good amount. 
12Ricky Rubio UT4Rubio is fully healthy and we can expect a lot of driving and dishing and he'll help w/ scoring, assists and steals and he'll keep the tempo of the Jazz offense up.
13Mike Conley MEM3Conley remains the top option for the Grizzlies, but don't be surprised if they start resting him a bit w/ the team having nothing to play for. If he's in the game, he'll dominate points and dimes. 
14Russell Westbrook OKC3Westbrook will only play in two games this week as he has been suspended for his first game of the week. He'll dominate in the two games he plays in, but he does fall in the rankings.
15Darren Collison IND4Collison has been able to lift his production since Victor Oladipo went out. He gets more time w/ the ball and he has a lot of pieces to work w/ including new addition Wesley Matthews
16Tomas Satoransky WSH4Satoransky is an inconsistent producer. By default, he'll never be at a loss for minutes, but in terms of shots and general offensive success, he struggles a bit. He should stick to passing more. 
17Goran Dragic MIA4Dragic has been banged up all season, but because the Heat are in the playoff race, he'll stay in as long he's healthy and be a priority scorer for the team. He'll help w/ points, dimes and steals. 
18Collin Sexton CLE4Sexton's minutes should be extended down the stretch because the Cavs need him to gain reps so he can become a leader. His shot needs work, but he has a good drive, quickness and can pass. 
19Derrick White SAS4White has broken away from the packed guard depth that the Spurs have an he's been able to read screens well at the top of the key and he'll provide some help with boards and assists. 
20Dennis Smith Jr.  NY4INJ: Smith missed his last two games w/ a sore Back and he may have to miss his first game of the week. If he plays, he's the Knicks No. 1 option. 
     
     
RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1James Harden HOU4Harden keeps the top spot without the super-slate because he's been the most threatening fantasy players all season and he helps out w/ everything from scoring to rebounding and assists.
2Klay Thompson GSW5Thompson moves up w/ the super-slate and if Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins need to sit out for a game or two, Thompson moves up the depth chart and will see more usage. 
3Bradley Beal WSH4Beal will remain the top scoring option for the Wizards and there hasn't been any talk regarding shutting him down and we can expect him not to lose any playing time and to score a lot of points. 
4DeMar DeRozan SAS4DeRozan has been able to take advantage of his defenders at the elbow and just when he exploits them at the elbow, he'll step back and start hitting three's and then he'll crash the boards. 
5Donovan Mitchell UT4Mitchell is the Jazz top option and having Rubio healthy will take some of the pressure off of him at the arc. He needs to continue to rely less on his long-range shooting and force himself inside. 
6Buddy Hield SAC4Hield has been very productive from elbow. He's been able to hit a lot of mid-range shots and then get a good amount of long boards at the top of the paint. He'll help w/ steals on the perimeter. 
7Khris Middleton MIL4Middleton's usage is going to rise w/ Brogdon out for the next four to six weeks. Expect him to not only get more shots, but he'll also get more time with the ball and that will help his assists.
8Tim Hardaway Jr.  DAL4Luka Doncic isn't fully healthy and if he needs to sit out for a game, THJ becomes the Mavs top option and he'll get plenty of shots and he'll become the secondary facilitator for the offense. 
9Devin Booker PHX3We are waiting for T.J. Warren to be cleared because that's when Booker's usage will drop a bit, but it's looking more like he'll be shutdown for the remainder of the season. 
10Jeremy Lamb CHA4It doesn't matter if he starts or comes off the bench, Lamb will get plenty of shots. He takes a lot of long-range shots and does a great job of fighting for long boards. 
11Jordan Clarkson CLE4The Cavs ongoing front court injuries will benefit the guards. Clarkson will get plenty of time at both guard spots and we can expect him to have plenty of time to run the point. 
12Eric Gordon HOU4Gordon will continue to get plenty of shots and he'll even get a little time to bring up the ball. He has the skills of a PG, but he'll mainly wait by the arc. He's the primary scorer w/ the second unit. 
13Zach LaVine CHI3LaVine gets time at both guard spots and he does a great job of attacking the rim and drawing contact. He can hit long-range shots and he's a priority scorer. 
14Dwayne WadeMIA4Wade will spend more time at SG now that Dragic is healthy and he'll continue to shoot from mid and long-range. He'll grab rebounds from the top of the paint and he'll even attack the open lane.
15Nicolas Batum CHA4Batum will continue to hit the 20-minute mark in games and he's been helpful w/ long-range shooting, rebounding and he'll even help w/ steals. There has been no talk of shutting him down. 
16Gary Harris DEN4Harris is on a team w/ a lot of options and he could still be playing not at 100 percent. He doesn't look the same on the court, just not as vibrant, but, he'll get plenty of long-range shots. 
17Jaylen Brown BOS4Brown should see more usage if Gordon Hayward has to sit again. His production has been a bit inconsistent throughout the year, but, he's playing better and is still in the rotation. 
18Wesley Matthews IND4Matthews continues to benefit from Oladipo being out. He's in a good situation and he'll not only help w/ long-range shooting, but he will help a lot w/ steals. He'll grab a couple of long boards. 
19Lou Williams LAC3Williams will get a ton of minutes at both guard spots and he'll help be a priority scorer and he'll help w/ assists and steals. He hits some of the hardest shots and he has a very successful drive. 
20Marcus Smart BOS4Smart will continue to help keep the ball moving. Smart will help grab long boards and he'll help play shutdown defense on the perimeter. He'll continue seeing a lot of minutes. 
     
     
RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Kevin Durant GSW5INJ: Durant has missed his last two games with an Ankle injury, but there's a good chance that he is active for his super-slate. The Warriors Coaches are confident that he'll return Monday.
2Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL4Giannis is the rare two seed this week because of the Warriors having the super slate. He'll be asked to help bring up the ball a bit more w/ Brogdon out and that'll help his assists.
3Kawhi Leonard TOR4It isn't confirmed yet, but there's a chance that Leonard (per usual) could be rested in this back to back situation. The Raptors may hold him out for his first game of the week. 
4Luka Doncic DAL4INJ: Doncic missed his last game w/ a minor Knee injury, but he should be good to go for his full slate of games this week.
5Paul George  OKC3George continues to elevate his game to new heights. The Thunder are playing very well on both sides of the ball and George (not Westbrook) has been the catalyst. 
6LeBron James LAL3James will be productive even with his minutes being monitored. Owners should start thinking about a back up plan w/ the Lakers falling further out. He could see some nights off soon. 
7Josh Richardson MIA4Richardson will be playing more at the forward spots this week w/ Dragic healthy. He'll be asked to get inside more if Justise Winslow can't play. He'll help w/ scoring and dimes. 
8Bojan Bogdanovic IND4Bogdanovic has become a more prioritized scorer in the last few months and he'll even grab some long boards. He'll be relied on in late-game situations and he'll get a lot of shots.
9Trevor Ariza WSH4Ariza is the Wizards primary defender and he's playing for a contract at this point and we shouldn't expect his minutes to get limited down the stretch. He'll help w/ three's and steals. 
10Rudy Gay SAS4Gay has been able to stay healthy and he's been producing from mid-range on both ends of the court. He will continue to body-up defenders and grab boards and hit shots from the elbow.
11Bogdan Bogdanovic SAC4Bogdanovic will be in a battle for shots for the rest of the way, but he won't be edged out as much as Nemanja Bjelica has been. He'll get some time to bring up the ball.
12Jabari Parker WSH4Parker will be utilized at both forward spots down the stretch and he's a volume shooter. He'll take some good shots and other horrible ones. He does set up on the block at times and scores inside.
13Joe Ingles UT4Ingles will be the Jazz primary bailout option and he'll move a lot around the arc. He'll take a lot of long-range shots and he'll hit the cutter for dimes. On defense, he'll be a big help w/ steals.
14Will Barton DEN4Barton is in a constant battle for shots, but because of his ability to bring up the ball, he'll get a chance to compile assists each game and he'll draw contact in the lane. 
15Cedi Osman CLE4Osman will be utilized a lot more down the stretch w/ both Larry Nance Jr. and Tristan Thompson hurt. He'll set up a bit more in the high-post, but he'll also hit long-range shots. 
16Jimmy Butler PHI3Butler will get more shots to start the week w/ Joel Embiid out for the first game and he'll help w/ long and mid-range shooting and he'll fight for boards and steals. 
17Danilo Gallinari LAC3Gallinari is the top scoring option w/ the Clippers first unit and he'll hit shots from the elbow and at the arc and he'll grab long boards on both sides of the ball and isn't afraid to draw contact. 
18Otto Porter Jr. CHI3Porter is more of a defensive player, but he's the third option and he'll still get plenty of shots from long-range. He'll fight for boards and steals as he is good at fighting through screens. 
19Kelly Oubre Jr.  PHX3Oubre has benefitted the most from Warren being out. He's not only been a bailout shooter, but he's been good on transition and will attack the paint. Oubre will help w/ boards and steals. 
20Gordon Hayward BOS4INJ: Hayward is suffering from a Concussion and there's a chance he'll hae to miss his first game of the week if he isn't cleared in time. 
     
     
     
     
RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Blake Griffin DET4Griffin keeps the top spot w/ the full slate and he's by far and away the prioritized scorer for the Pistons and he'll hit three's. He'll also provide consistent help w/ rebounding. 
2Kevin Love CLE4INJ: Love is dealing w/ a bruised Back and there's a chance he misses his first game of the week on Monday.
3LaMarcus Aldridge SAS4Aldridge has been playing two positions at once all season as he's needed both at the elbow and in the post. He helps spread the floor and can hit long-range shots while helping w/ boards and blocks.
4Draymond Green GSW5Green moves up because of his super-slate and if Cousins and Durant need to sit at all during this busy week, expect his usage to go up and you'll see the biggest difference in his scoring. 
5Pascal Siakam TOR4Siakam will be utilized more to start the week w/ Serge Ibaka suspended and if you look at the stats lately, Siakam has created a little seperation from Ibaka when it comes to overall production. 
6Nikola Mirotic MIL4Mirotic has improved his stats over the last few weeks and he'll not only help score from long-range, but he'll also set up in the high post and help w/ boards and steals. 
7Jayson Tatum BOS4Tatum's role will not change. He'll score from the arc and drive inside and draw contact. He's not the biggest players, but he's always up for the challenge when it comes to getting in the lane. 
8Harrison Barnes SAC4Barnes has improved his production since going to the Kings. He's been able to carve out his own scoring role and he's been helpful w/ steals on the perimeter.

11Marcus Morris BOS4Morris continues to be the Celtics enforcer and he'll score from both inside and outside He'll help grab long boards and he'll even set up in the post. He gets a lot of open shots. 
12Thaddeus Young IND4Young has been able to keep his role and he's been a strong attacker for the Pacers. He can hit mid-range jumpers, but his game is more focused on slashing and he'll help w/ boards. 
13Justise Winslow MIA4INJ: Winslow has an injured Thigh and he missed his previous game because it's bruised. It shouldn't keep him out long-term at all, but there is a chance that he'll have to miss his first game this week.
14Marvin Bagley III SAC4Bagley is back and he's been given the minutes back he left behind and it'll be Bjelica that will lose out on minutes. Bagley's role is solidified and he'll help w/ points and boards. 
15Derrick Favors UT4Favors has been very good at setting the entry screen and he'll also hit shots from the elbow. He is frequently able to get in the lane and he'll score in double figures consistently and he'll grab boards.
16Julius Randle NO3Randle will be utilized more down the stretch and especially w/ Jrue Holiday and E'Twaun Moore hurt, it'll be up to Randle to provide production in the paint and handle more of the offensive burden. 
17Tobias Harris PHI3Harris will continue to be the main bailout option and w/ Embiid resting, he'll be given a few more long-range jumpers. He'll also help w/ boards and steals on the defensive side.

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Nikola Jokic DEN4Jokic grabs the top spot and he'll provide production in all areas. He'll continue to be the top option for the Nuggets on offense and he'll even bring the ball up a good amount. 
2Andre Drummond DET4Drummond has been the most dominant rebounder all season and even though he doesn't have many offensive moves, he uses his big body to gain positioning in the post. 
3DeMarcus Cousins GSW5INJ: Cousins is easily the hardest player to track heading into this week because it's not out of the realm of possibility that he plays in his super-slate. He's dealing w/ an Ankle injury
4Rudy Gobert UT4Gobert doesn't provide any help from the arc. He's been very helpful in the post and he'll score off of second chance opportunities and he'll help a ton w/ boards and blocks. 
5Clint Capela HOU4Capela is the Rockets main inside weapon and he'll get a ton of playing time and he'll help a lot by scoring inside and grabbing a ton of boards. It's very tough to keep him out of the paint. 
6Karl-Anthony Towns MIN3The Timberwolves are looking at the lottery and Towns owners should be on high alert for a possible shutdown to preserve his health. The 'Wolves are almost out of the playoff race. 
7Anthony Davis NO3Davis will continue to get limited minutes, but, he's a strong force and will still be productive in the paint. He'll provide a ton of help w/ scoring, rebounding and he'll block plenty of shots. 
8Hassan Whiteside MIA4Whiteside has a really strong drive and as long as he can stay out of foul trouble, he will provide a ton of help w/ points and boards as he's always fighting hard for rebounds. 
9DeAndre Jordan NY4It's hard to tell how long we will see Jordan in the game as the Knicks want to give plenty of rotation love to Mitchell Robinson . When in, Jordan will help w/ boards and blocks. 
10Joel Embiid PHI3Embiid will be rested for his first game of the week so he'll only be active for two games this week. He's not hurt so we can expect him active but the Sixers are in preservation mode.
11Nikola Vucevic ORL2Vucevic would be much higher in these rankings if he didn't draw the short slate for the week. He continues to be the Magic's top scoring weapon and he'll continue to hit three's when in. 
12Myles Turner IND4Turner has improved his production over the last couple of months and he'll continue to draw out bigger defenders and take mid and long-range shots. He'll also help w/ boards and blocks. 
13Marc Gasol TOR4Gasol's minutes have definitely dropped since the trade to Toronto, but that's how deep the Raptors front court is. Ibaka being suspended will give Gasol more life in the rotation to start the week.
14Al Horford BOS4INJ: Horford has a sore Knee but reports are saying that he shouldn't have to miss any time. He should be able to play in his full slate of games this week. 
15Domantas Sabonis IND4Sabonis doesn't need a lot of playing time to be productive and he's been productive mainly in the post. Sabonis will provide plenty of help w/ rebounds and he's scored 14.3 points per game. 
16Willie Cauley-Stein SAC4Cauley-Stein's usage has been consistent all year. I thought the addition of Barnes would take shots away from him, but he continues to get plenty of plays called for him in the post. 
17Jonas Valanciunas MEM4Valanciunas will need to play more minutes down the stretch and he'll provide help w/ inside scoring and rebounding. Jaren Jackson Jr. being out will benefit Valanciunas' production. 
18Brook Lopez MIL4Lopez has been rebounding better over the last few weeks. He'll continue getting open three's as defenders ultimately punt on pressuring him from the arc. He's also blocked 2.2 shots per game.
19Jusuf Nurkic POR3Nurkic continues to be the third scoring option, but w/ McCollum out for the week, more plays will be called for him inside and he has great post moves and he'll also produce rebounds consistently.
20Deandre Ayton PHX3Ayton has had a very strong rookie year as the Suns second scoring option and he's been a good mid-range shooter and he's also helped w/ boards and he's blocked shots in four straight games.
