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 (ranked worst to best)

Note: We're just putting the obvious, all-league "starts" in brackets now to begin each blurb.

5. San Antonio Spurs (CHI, ATL, MEM, DEN)

[Duncan, Parker] Ginobili is moderately helpful in most leagues, going 14-5-5 lately. George Hill is coming on, helping in deep leagues. Blair and McDyess can give you rebounds in deep leagues.

4. Charlotte Bobcats (@DEN, @PHO, @GS, @SAC)

[G. Wallace, S. Jackson, Felton] Diaw has been better lately, and Murray should score some points for you, if that helps in deeper leagues. Chandler is still out, but Mohammed is coming on and is useful in deep leagues.

3. Phoenix Suns (@UTA, CHA, DAL, @HOU)

[Stoudemire, Nash] Robin Lopez is just about a must-play in every league now. Richardson has been inconsistent, but he should do well enough in four easy games. Hill should get it done, too. Frye, Dudley and Barbosa can even be considered in the really deep leagues this week.

2. New York Knicks (MIN, TOR, @WAS, @MIN)

[Lee, Chandler] Gallinari will help in most leagues in threes and scoring. Harrington, Duhon, and Robinson have been too inconsistent to trust in most leagues, but with the easy four-gamer this week, they're worth considering.

1. Cleveland Cavaliers (@MIA, MIN, @IND, LAC)

[James] Shaq should have a good week. The rest of the Cavs (Z, Varejao, Hickson, Parker, West, and Gibson) are unfortunately too iffy to go with, despite the great schedule.

OTHER 4-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst):

  • ORL - [Howard, Nelson] Carter is playing through his injury and is best left to deep league line-ups right now. Lewis and Barnes are okay options. The others (Pietrus, Redick, Ryan Anderson, and Jason Williams) are not recommended.
  • MEM - [Zach Randolph, Gay, Mayo, Marc Gasol] Outside of their big four, Conley is worth starting in deep leagues.
  • GS - [Ellis] Maggette and Curry are playing great. Biedrins should have another decent week. Vlad-Rad, C.J. Wilson, and Morrow are hurt, giving Turiaf, Tolliver, and Martin some deep-league value.
  • DEN - [Anthony, Billups, Nene] Anthony may miss Monday, but he's still worth using for three games. Kenyon Martin is currently healthy and producing. J.R. Smith can be considered in deep leagues for his threes, but the other Nuggets (Afflalo, Andersen, and Lawson) are too inconsistent.
  • ATL - [Johnson, Smith, Horford] Williams, Crawford, and Bibby are deep-league considerations this week
  • BOS - [Rondo, Pierce] It looks like Garnett is finally healthy enough to use. Ray Allen has been up and down, but consider him and Perkins for use this week, too. Rasheed Wallace can be considered in deep leagues.
  • LAL - [Bryant, Gasol, Bynum] You can't sit any of the big three, regardless of the health issues. Artest and Odom can be used in deep leagues. You're in trouble if you have to dig down to Fisher and Farmar.
  • NO - [Paul, West, Okafor] There's really nothing to consider past those three this week. West is day-to-day, but startable for next week. Maybe Stojakovic can be used for threes in deeper leagues. Brown and Thornton are too inconsistent right now at SG.
  • PHI - [Iguodala, Lou Williams] There are certainly some inconsistency issues here, so weigh your options, but after Iggy and Lou, I like Brand, Iverson, Young, and Dalembert, in that order. 
  • LAC - [Baron Davis, Kaman, Camby] Watch Gordon's injury status. Butler and Thornton are too inconsistent to use.
  • POR - [Aldridge, Miller] With Roy and Bayless out, Webster and Blake are looking good. Rudy Fernandez could even give you threes in deep leagues.
  • HOU - [Brooks, Ariza, Scola, Landry] The big four are mainly it, though Battier and Lowry could be considered in deeper leagues.
  • MIA - [Wade, Beasley] O'Neal and Haslem should be good enough in deep leagues this week. Alston and Q-Rich are barelt worth considering in deep leagues.
  • IND - [Granger, Murphy] Hibbert is inconsistent and should probably be benched, given the tough schedule. I'd be afraid to use any of the wing men (Dunleavy, Jones, Rush, and Head) or point guards (Watson and Price) as they all seem to take turns having good games.
  • MIN - [Jefferson, Love] Flynn and Corey Brewer are worth considering, despite the rough schedule. Gomes is too inconsistent right now.

3-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): UTA, OKC, TOR, SAC, WAS, MIL, DAL, CHI, DET, NJ

2-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): none
