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. Chicago Bulls (NY, @NY, @MIN, PHI)

[Rose, Deng] Hinrich has been playing well lately. Salmons can be used in a deep league. Brad Miller and Tyrus Thomas can be used in the deepest of leagues while Noah is out and Gibson is hurting.

4. Sacramento Kings (BOS, @GS, @LAC, @PHO)

[Martin, Evans] Greene, Casspi, Thompson, Hawes, and Udrih are all usually too inconsistent to use. However, with the easy schedule, they can be used in deep leagues this week as needed.

3. Golden State Warriors (@LAL, SAC, UTA, ATL)

[Curry] Ellis and Maggette are banged up but expected to return for a full week this week, so unless you hear otherwise, use them. Morrow and Tolliver have been great lately, so even though Ellis and Maggette are likely to return, continue using Morrow and Tolliver. Use Biedrins for blocks and rebounds if you need him.

2. Utah Jazz (@HOU, @NO, @GS, @POR)

[Williams, Boozer] Kirilenko has played well lately and can be used in all leagues this week. Okur may snap out of his slump with the easy schedule, but don't touch Millsap, Ronnie Brewer or any other Jazz this week, as they're not playing well right now.

1. Phoenix Suns (@MEM, @DAL, ATL, SAC)

[Stoudemire, Nash] Richardson has been inconsistent, but he should do well enough in four easy games. With the nice schedule, Hill, Lopez, Frye, and Dudley can even be considered in the deep leagues this week, but don't expect much.

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

  • MEM - [Zach Randolph, Gay, Mayo, Marc Gasol] Outside of their big four, Conley is worth starting in deep leagues for his assists.
  • BOS - [Rondo] Pierce, Garnett, and Allen should all be used, of course, but they're not putting up the numbers that they used to, that's for sure. Maybe Rasheed Wallace can be considered in deep leagues. Bench the slumping Perkins.
  • MIA - [Wade] O'Neal and Haslem will give you solid big-man numbers. Beasley is slumping, but maybe he'll snap out of it.Cook will provide threes for deep-leaguers.
  • DAL - [Nowitzki, Kidd] Caron Butler could have a good first week with his new team. Marion and Terry will lose some stats but still be worth using. Haywood will split time with Dampier, which could hurt, but he's still usable in deep leagues.
  • HOU - [Brooks, Ariza, Landry] The big three are mainly it, though Scola and Lowry could be considered in deeper leagues.
  • MIN - [Jefferson] Gomes, Love, Flynn, and Corey Brewer are worth considering, despite the rough schedule. Sessions is possibly usable in deep leagues.
  • DET - [Stuckey] Hamilton and Prince have been solid lately. Ben Gordon and Jerebko work in deep leagues. Ben Wallace will give you some rebounds and blocks in the deepest leagues.
  • NJ - [Harris, Lopez] Courtney Lee and Jarvis Hayes can be considered in deep leagues, and maybe Jianlian and Humphries in even deeper ones, but beware the tough overall schedule for the week.

3-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): TOR, OKC, DEN, CLE, ATL, SA, ORL, WAS, NO, MIL, IND, NY, CHA, LAC, PHI, POR

2-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): LAL
