As we enter the first full week of the season, every team plays either three or four games. While there are obviously some advantages to be gained by fading teams with poor schedules, you should probably just start the guys you drafted to be starters until be get some more information or some more uneven schedules.

Atlanta Hawks (@MIA, @CHI, DEN, MIL): The Hawks get four games this week, but both Monday and Friday are on the second of a back-to-back. If you own any Hawks you should probably hold onto them, but there is no need to pick any up, either.

Boston Celtics (NY, @MIL, @MIA): Injuries have hurt Boston’s real-life chances and their fantasy value. This was already a thin team, and you certainly don’t have to consider any Boston reserves outside of Terry Rozier this week.

Brooklyn Nets (@ORL, CLE, @NY, DEN): There are only a handful of teams that may still be worse than Brooklyn now that Jeremy Lin is out, and the Nets face two of them this week, along with two home games. It feels like this entire team is made up of borderline fantasy starters off to relatively strong starts, and there is a decent chance they can keep it going for one more week.

Charlotte Hornets (@MIL, DEN, HOU, ORL): Charlotte gets pretty much the best possible schedule this week, with four games (three at home) and no back-to-backs. The matchups are all fine, if not great. Frank Kaminsky and Jeremy Lamb have stepped up with Cody Zeller and Nicolas Batum out, and there is no reason to believe that will not continue this week.

Chicago Bulls (@CLE, ATL, OKC): This will probably be a theme throughout the season, but the Bulls could have plenty of garbage time this week, especially against the Cavs and Thunder. That could hurt Robin Lopez, Lauri Markkanen, Justin Holiday and Jerian Grant, who have all averaged 30+ minutes through two games.

Cleveland Cavaliers (CHI, @BKN, @NO, NY): All of Cleveland’s fringe fantasy options are playable this week. The only game that might be close is the road game against the Pelicans. That could be a spot for the Cavs to begin resting players, so keep an eye on that.

Dallas Mavericks (GS, MEM, @MEM, PHI): It is always interesting when two teams play a home-and-home on a back to back. It wouldn’t be surprising for Dirk Nowitzki to sit one of those games, and you have to wonder if the younger players like Nerlens Noel and Dennis Smith will have an advantage in the rematch.

Denver Nuggets (WAS, @CHA, @ATL, @BKN): This might not be a bad week to drop some of Denver’s fringe fantasy starters, especially in more shallow leagues. Jamal Murray could still be useful only playing 20 minutes per game, but probably not with three road games.

Detroit Pistons (PHI, MIN, @LAC, @GS):  Detroit will be lucky to go 2-2 over this stretch. As for fantasy, none of these matchups really stand out, just like none of the Pistons players really stand out.

Golden State Warriors (@DAL, TOR, WAS, DET): It probably doesn’t matter who the Warriors play, though I suppose their fantasy value takes a slight hit against teams like San Antonio, Utah and Memphis. None of those teams are on the schedule, and they get four games with no back-to-backs, which is always a crowd pleaser.

Houston Rockets (MEM, @PHI, @CHA, @MEM): Even if Chris Paul returns this week, he will probably sit one of the road back-to-backs. In weekly leagues, you may have to sit him. You are starting the rest of your Rockets starters, and even PJ Tucker is interesting this week.

Indiana Pacers (@Min, @OKC, SA): There will be weeks where Domantas Sabonis will be useful for fantasy, but probably not this week. You are starting any Pacers you own, at least for the first two games.

Los Angeles Clippers (UTA, @POR, DET): After starting the season with the easiest possible schedule, the Clippers have some work to do this week. They don’t leave the Pacific time zone, so that is certainly a positive.

Los Angeles Lakers (WAS, Tor, @UTA): This is likely the week everyone realizes they can drop Kyle Kuzma. Unless he starts getting more than 15 minutes per game, Julius Randle is droppable as well. The first two home games aren’t bad, but I wouldn’t feel good about playing any Lakers at Utah.

Memphis Grizzlies (@HOU, @DAL, DAL, HOU): Memphis plays four games in one week but only face two different teams. Neither Dallas nor Houston are great defensively, and this could be a great week for Marc Gasol and Mike Conley. The other Grizzlies could struggle, but that will often be the case.

Miami Heat (ATL, SA, BOS): None of these matchups is particularly attractive, but the saving grace for Miami is all three are at home. The Spurs and Atlanta have two of the three lowest turnover rates in the league, so if you are chasing steals, it is best to look elsewhere.

Milwaukee Bucks (CHA, BOS, @ATL): No team has allowed more three pointers this season than the Hawks, so this may be a good week to target Tony Snell if you are chasing threes. This could be the week where Malcolm Brogdon slows down after a hot start, but unless you are in a really shallow league, you probably have to start him. Greg Monroe should match up well with Charlotte and Atlanta, so if he doesn’t earn 20+ minutes or produce with those minutes, it will probably be time to drop him.

Minnesota Timberwolves (IND, @DET, OKC): Minnesota loses an hour going to Detroit for the second of a back-to-back, and while that won’t stop Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau from playing his starters heavy minutes, it could affect their performance. Otherwise these are fine matchups, but nothing you are necessarily looking to exploit.

New Orleans Pelicans (@POR, @SAC, CLE): It will take a great week of matchups for any Pelicans outside of Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Jrue Holiday and Rajon Rondo to be useful for fantasy. This is not a great week for New Orleans.

New York Knicks (@BOS, BKN, @CLE): The Knicks get two days rest before they face Boston and Brooklyn, so that could make them a bit more frisky than usual. None of these teams are great rebounding the basketball, so Kyle O’Quinn could be worth adding.

Oklahoma City Thunder (IND, @MIN, @CHI): Less than a week after Carmelo Anthony dropped 22 points against his former team, we get the Paul George revenge game. I am usually skeptical of such things, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Russell Westbrook made a concerted effort to get George the ball against the Pacers. There will probably be some weeks where it will make sense to bench Carmelo Anthony and Steven Adams, but not this week. The Bulls are my pick for worst team in the NBA, and Minnesota still hasn’t improved its defense or rebounding significantly under Tom Thibodeau.

Orlando Magic (BKN, SA, @CHA): The schedule doesn’t do Orlando any favors, especially after they host Brooklyn, but there is a lot of fantasy potential here while Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton deal with injuries. Jonathan Isaac should be owned in most leagues, and D.J. Augustin is worth considering as well.

Philadelphia 76ers (@DET, HOU, @DAL): There is not a scary defense on this schedule, and Philly gets plenty of rest as well. The 76ers could do well against older teams that don’t have a ton of athleticism, and these three fit the bill for the most part.

Phoenix Suns (SAC, UTA, @POR): Sacramento is the slowest team in the league through three games, and the Jazz are right behind them. Portland plays faster, but they are sixth in the NBA in defensive rating. Phoenix is young and exciting, but their numbers are inflated by playing the Lakers last week. They could have some buy-low potential following this week.

Portland Trailblazers (NO, LAC, PHO): After beginning the season with three consecutive road games, Portland gets three home games in Week 2. The Clippers currently have the best defensive rating in the NBA, while the Pelicans and Suns are two of only five teams with a defensive rating worse than 110. The Clippers are playing much faster this season with Chris Paul gone, and overall this should be a positive schedule for the Trailblazers.

Sacramento Kings (@PHO, NO, WAS): Sacramento plays three teams in the bottom 11 in defensive rating, and with seven players adding 23 minutes per game or more this season, this is a good place to look if you need a weekly add. Six of those players are averaging at least 11.0 points per game through three games.

Toronto Raptors (@SA, @GS, @LAL): Any week that starts at the Spurs is rough, but the last two matchups should be good, if they can keep Wednesday’s game against the Warriors close. Delon Wright may be worth picking up after Toronto faces San Antonio.

Utah Jazz (@LAC, @PHO, LAL): This is a good week to pick up some Jazz players, and start the ones you own. The Lakers and Suns either can’t or won’t play defense, but they are both in the top three in the NBA in pace in the young season. Donovan Mitchell, who is worth adding in a lot of leagues anyway, could look awfully good by the end of this week.

Washington Wizards (@DEN, @LAL, @GS, @SAC): Washington was far better at home last season, so guys  like Kelly Oubre are probably safe to bench this week. That being said, the Wizards get a day off between each game, and they enter Denver on two-days rest, so your normal fantasy starters are still usable.
