NBA - 2009-2010 Week 12 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
Note: We're just putting the obvious, all-league "starts" in brackets now to begin each blurb.
5. Washington Wizards (DET, @ATL, @CHI, SAC)
[Jamison, Caron Butler] Miller returned Friday but reaggravated his injury on Sunday, so he's not to be used this week. That increases the values of Nick Young and Randy Foye. Haywood can also be used in any league this week, and perhaps Boykins can do enough to help in the deepest of leagues.
4. Miami Heat (@UTA, @GS, @HOU, @OKC)
[Wade, Beasley] Rafer Alston PG had a poor game on Sunday, but he should have a nice enough week, at least in deep leagues. Shallow-leaguers may want to hold off, depending on options. I'd stay away from Q-Rich, O'Neal, Haslem, Wright, and Chalmers in all leagues, unless you're really out of options. You just can't trust any of them right now.
3. San Antonio Spurs (LAL, @OKC, @CHA, @MEM)
[Duncan, Parker] Ginobili is doing well enough right now to use in all leagues. Jefferson is a judgment call, depending on options -- probably best in deep leagues. Even in deep leagues, Blair, McDyess, Mason, and Hill are too iffy for my taste.
2. New York Knicks (@OKC, @PHI, TOR, @DET)
[Lee, Chandler] It's a great schedule, so consider Harrington despite the injury and Duhon and Robinson despite their inconsistent ways. Gallinari should drain many threes this week, and Jeffries could even be considered in the deepest of leagues.
1. Phoenix Suns (MIL, @IND, @ATL, @CHA)
[Stoudemire, Nash] Richardson has been inconsistent, but you can't bench him this week. Frye and Hill should get it done, too. Dudley and Barbosa can be considered in the really deep leagues this week.
OTHER 4-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst):
- UTA - [Williams, Boozer] Okur and Brewer should work in most leagues. I wouldn't necessarily trust Kirilenko or Millsap right now. I wouldn't touch Miles or Matthews at this juncture.
- IND - [Granger, Murphy] Hibbert is inconsistent but could work in deep leagues this week. With Watson and Price splitting time at point guard and Head, Dunleavy, and Rush splitting on the wing, consider other options carefully before using them.
- NO - [Paul, West, Okafor] Devin Brown, Stojakovic, and Posey can be considered in deep leagues, in that order.
- OKC - [Durant, Westbrook, Green] Depending on your team needs, Sefolosha and Harden can be considered in deeper leagues. I wouldn't touch Krstic or Collison at all right now.
- MIL - [Bogut, Jennings] God only knows what to do with the rest of the Bucks this week!
- LAC - [Baron Davis, Kaman] It's a tough schedule, so think twice about Eric Gordon in shallow leagues and Butler in deep ones. Sit Thornton.
- DET - [Stuckey] Gotta stick with Stuckey, but it's a tough schedule this week. Hamilton, Gordon, and Wallace should work in most leagues. Prince and Villanueva need to be weighed against other options in deep leagues.
3-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): CLE, DEN, ATL, BOS, ORL, SAC, GS, MEM, TOR, MIN, LAL, DAL, PHI, HOU, CHA, CHI
2-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): POR, NJ
