NBA - 2009-2010 Week 9 Fantasy Basketball Start/Sit Line-up Planner

Below, we help you set your line-up for (who to start or sit) for the upcoming week by looking at the Top 5 four-game schedules. Our Games-per-Week Schedule Grid is especially useful throughout the season, so make sure you download it, print it, and keep it by your side to consult for every decision you make. Personally, I like to take a blue highlighter and "blue out" the column for the current week each Tuesday as to easier see the good and bad stretches on the horizon.

TOP FIVE UPCOMING FOUR-GAME SCHEDULES
5. Indiana Pacers (MIL, @BOS, ATL, @MIA)
Murphy and Ford are your two best bets on this team. Dunleavy is also serviceable, and Hibbert looks like he's back on track. Because of the four-game week, Dahntay Jones, Brandon Rush, and Tyler Hansbrough can all be considered in deep leagues, but only as last resorts. Earl Watson might get close to 20 assists this week, so use him in deeper leagues where you need dimes.
4. Houston Rockets (LAC, @ORL, @NJ, @CLE)
Ariza and Scola are lookinggood for the Rockets this week. Watch reports on Landry (teeth), as he'll be good if he's recovered. Brooks is good but somewhat inconsistent. Battier, Lowry, and Budinger are too inconsistent, and Hayes is only good if Landry is out.
3. San Antonio Spurs (LAC, POR, @MIL, @NY)
You can count on Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili as usual. Jefferson can give you four games of mildly useful stats. You can roll the dice on McDyess or Blair in deeper leagues where you need rebounds and maybe Bogans, George Hill, or Mason in the deepest of leagues where you could use a few threes.
2. Cleveland Cavaliers (@PHO, @SAC, @LAL, HOU)
LeBron and Mo Williams are must-starts. Shaq, Varejao, and maybe Hickson should be useful for their REB-BLK numbers this week. Parker, West, and Z can be considered in the deeper leagues.
1. Phoenix Suns (CLE, OKC, LAC, @GS)
Nash and Stoudemire are automatic plays. Richardson and Frye are looking good this week, too. Grant Hill is aging andlosing stats along the way, but he can certainly be plugged in this week in deep leagues. Jared Dudley could even work this week in those deep leagues out there.
OTHER 4-GAME WEEKS (usually ranked best to worst, but just one this week):
- LAC - Of course, Baron, Camby, and Kaman are good to start. Eric Gordon ahould be fine this week, too. Al Thornton and Rasual Butler are iffy fantasy propositions, but both should be fine to roll with in deep leagues this week.
3-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): GS, ORL, ATL, UTA, LAL, BOS, DEN, MIA, NY, MIL, DAL, WAS, OKC, MIN, CHI,
2-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): MEM, NO, PHI, TOR, CHA, NJ
