NBA - 2009-2010 Week 24 Fantasy Basketball Start/Sit Line-up Planner

Posted by: DaveGawron

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.

NOTE: Next week, most NBA teams play two games each, and a few play one. Many playoff teams will rest their regulars, and many fantasy basketball leagues are h2h and don't count the final, shortened league anyway. This will be our final Sit/Start Line-up Planner of the season. Read our offseason news updates starting next week, and definitely download our new cheat sheets in October.

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. Memphis Grizzlies (HOU, @DAL, @SA, PHI)

[Zach Randolph, Gay, Mayo, Conley] Gay is dinged but should be fine this week. Gasol is out for the year, but Thabeet will only be good for a few blocks and rebounds in the deepest of leagues.

4. Boston Celtics (@NY, @TOR, WAS, @MIL)

[Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Garnett] Perk can get you some rebounds and blocks in deep leagues, but Sheed and Nate aren't good enough for any league right now.

3. Cleveland Cavaliers (@UTA, @POR, @GS, @LAC)

[James, Williams, Jamison] James may rest a game or two, but you still have to play him. With Varejao hurt, Hickson is worth using in deep leagues. West and Parker just aren't good enough to use at all, though one or the other could have a good game when James rests.

2. Oklahoma City Thunder (@CHA, LAC, @PHI, GS)

[Durant, Westbrook, Green] Despite the nice schedule, you just can't use anybody here outside the Big Three.

1. Golden State Warriors (@CHI, @NJ, @DET, @MIL)

[Curry] You can't use Ellis, as he'll miss more time with the flu. Tolliver, Morrow, Maggette, and Williams ahould all be good to use in any league this week.

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

  • SA - [Duncan, Ginobili] With Parker out, and now Hill down for the count, Richard Jefferson becomes the only reasonable play outside of Dunc and Gino.
  • ATL - [Smith, Horford] Crawford is hot and works in all leagues right now, especially with Johnson out. Williams and Bibby aren't good enough to use right now.
  • CHA - [Wallace, Jackson, Felton, Diaw] Jackson will play through his hamstring injury in hopes of securing a playoff berth. None of the big men (Thomas, Chandler, Ratliff) are worth using this week.
  • HOU - [Brooks, Ariza] Scola is currently playing well and may be used in all leagues. Ariza and Martin were in and out last week, but both should be good to go this week. Lowry is the one last useful Rocket.
  • TOR - [Bosh, Bargnani] Calderon and Jack can get you assists without scoring much, but the others are too inconsistent. Turkoglu just isn't doing enough.
  • PHI - [Iguodala, Holiday] After those two, nobody is very good, but Brand, Lou Williams, Dalembert, and Green work in deep leagues right now, in that order.
  • MIL - [Delfino, Salmons, Jennings] Ilyasova will see more action this week with Bogut out. Ridnour can be used for assists in deeper leagues.
  • CHI - [Rose, Gibson] Deng is back and should be good to use. The inconsistent Hinrich may be considered in deep leagues.
  • WAS - [Blatche, Miller] Livingston (assists) and McGee (rebounds and blocks) could be considered in the deeper leagues.
  • NY - [Lee] Gallinari, Harrington, and Walker are playing well enough to use in any league right now. Don't touch any other Knicks this week.
  • DET - [Prince] Stuckey and Jerebko are all worth looks in any leagues right now. Don't use any other Pistons unless you need some potential assists from Bynum or threes from Gordon in a deep league.

3-GAME WEEKS (ranked best to worst): PHO, UTA, ORL, MIN, NO, DAL, LAL, LAC,MIA, SAC, POR, IND, DEN, NJ

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