NBA - 2009-2010 Week 10 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. New Yors Knicks (@DET, @NJ, @ATL, IND)
It's a pretty good schedule for the Knicks, but there are few Knicks players you can really count on. Lee, Harrington, Chandler, and Gallinari seem to be playing well enough to use in all leagues this week. Duhon will get you assists. Hughes and Jeffries are tough to go with right now, even in deep leagues. The rotation ends there.
4. Philadelphia 76ers (@POR, @SAC, @LAC, @DEN)
Young and Iguodala are the two Sixers you can use with confidence right now, as they should both have very good weeks. Brand, Dalembert, and Speights are in too much of a timeshare right now at C/PF. Iverson can be considered in deep leagues, but it's crowded in the backcourt, too, with Lou Williams back splitting time with Holiday and Green.
3. Indiana Pacers (@CHI, MEM, MIN, @NY)
Good schedule; lousy team. Murphy is pretty solid, but otherwise, who can you bank on here? Watson and Ford are splitting time at point guard. Rush, Dahntay Jones, and Dunleavy aren't doing anything at SF/SG. Hibbert is still very underwhelming at center, and Hansbrough, though performing well, just isn't getting the minutes.
2. San Antonio Spurs (MIN, MIA, @WAS, @TOR)
Parker and Duncan are always solid plays, of course. It looks like Ginobili is coming around. Otherwise, it's a bit of a craps shoot on this team. Richard Jefferson hasn't been usable for a while. Blair and McDyess tend to cancel each other out. Mason and Hill cancel each other out, too.
1. Los Angeles Lakers (@PHO, GS, SAC, DAL)
Bryant is dinged, but he should be good for all four games anyway. Artest is dinged worse, so watch the news updates, but I'd sit him right now. Gasol should have another great week, and Odom is more useful with Artest out. Bynum will be solid for rebounds and blocks, and Fisher can even be used in deep leagues for the four-gamer.
OTHER 4-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst):
- OKC - Durant, Westbrook, and Greene are locks. Krstic is good enough in deep leagues, and maybe Sefolosha. I wouldn't necessarily trust Harden or Ibaka right now.
- CLE - LeBron, Mo Williams, and Shaq are the three to play on this team. Varejao can get you rebounds in deep leagues, but the others are too inconsistent to use in most leagues.
- SAC - Evans (ankle) will miss Monday's game, so check your alternatives, but still use him if he's your best three-game option. Udrih, Casspi, and Thompson are all looking good this week, and Hawes is decent, too. Deep-leaguers can take a shot on Greene for the four games.
- CHA - Jackson, Wallace, and Felton are all looking fine, and Mohammed is usable with Chandler hurt. Maybe Diaw works in deep leagues.
- MIN - Al Jefferson, Love, Corey Brewer, and Flynn are all looking good this week. Wilkins and Sessions can be used in deep leagues. Gomes is still working his way back from injury, so pass on him.
3-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): BOS, POR, NO, ORL, MIA, MEM, NJ, HOU, WAS, UTA, DEN, ATL, DAL, TOR, CHI, MIL, GS, PHO
2-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): DET, LAC
