Analysis

1Russell Westbrook OKC3Westbrook takes the top spot despite not having a full slate of games because he dominates in multiple categories as the Thunder's top option. He's been especially helpful w/ assists lately. 
2Kemba Walker CHA4Walker continues to be a scoring machine this season and w/ most of the Hornets offense needed to come from the back court, he will continue to see a high volume of shots consistently. 
3Kyrie Irving BOS4INJ: There's a chance that Irving may have to sit for his first game of the week on Monday because he's dealing w/ a Quad injury. 
4Stephen Curry GSW3Curry continues to balance his offense between being a traditional PG and being a shoot-first PG. He gets up a lot of shots and helps a good amount w/ dimes. 
5Mike Conley MEM4Conley moves up because of the Grizzlies full slate this week and w/ the amount of injuries they are facing in their mid-court, his usage will go up even more this week. 
6Ben Simmons PHI3Simmons isn’t the best shooter, but he gets the job done producing points, boards and assists at a very high level. It's hard to stop him once he gets in the lane. 
7Damian Lillard POR3Lillard will see a lot of shots every game because the Blazers don't have many reliable shooters outside of himself, McCollum and Nurkic in the post. He'll still provide help w/ assists. 
8Kyle Lowry TOR3Lowry is healthy and owners should expect full usage this week and his scoring, minutes and assists should increase this week. He shouldn't have any limitations. 
9Reggie Jackson DET4Jackson is the Pistons third scoring option and he's been doing a good job feeding his skilled big men and he should be able to rack up assists this week w/ the full slate. 
10Darren Collison IND4Collison has been a bit banged up, but now that he's back in the lineup, he shouldn't see any minutes restrictions and he'll be able to force his way in the lane. 
11D'Angelo Russell BKN3Russell continues to be the Nets top scoring option and he'll get a high volume of shots and a ton of time w/ the ball. Expect consistent help w/ assists. 
12Bryn Forbes SAS4Forbes has been scoring more consistently lately and he'll continue to log a lot of minutes w/ Dejounte Murray out for the season. He can do more on the court than Patty Mills
13Eric Bledsoe MIL3Bledsoe gives you offensive and defensive production. He'll be a huge help w/ steals and he'll even rebound the ball consistently. Expect him to score in double figures in most games. 
14Jamal Murray DEN3Murray will be needed to shoot the ball even more w/ Gary Harris once again sidelined. He'll take more shots and help out a bit less consistently w/ assists. Minutes are on his side. 
15Terry Rozier BOS4Rozier has been productive w/ the Celtics second unit and he'll provide defensive production. He'll get to the rim and draw contact. He'll grab steals consistently on the perimeter. 
16Kris Dunn CHI3Dunn has been able to stay healthy and he'll get a chunk of shots in the offense. He'll also help out w/ boards and dimes. He'll step inside the arc and fight for long boards and steals 
17Derrick White SAS4White has improved his game over the last few weeks and there's enough minutes to go around between Mills, Forbes and himself. He'll get to the rim and help out big time on transition. 
18Lonzo Ball LAL3Ball will continue to be utilized more heavily until Rajon Rondo comes back. He's shooting higher percentage shots this season. He'll also fight for boards and produce a good chunk of assists. 
19Spencer Dinwiddie BKN3Dinwiddie will continue to get a lot of playing time for the rest of the way and he'll be featured a lot. He'll switch between PG and SG and he's done a good job getting to the rim. 
20Jeff Teague MIN3INJ: Teague hurt his Ankle on Saturday and his status for the week is currently up in the air. He may need to sit again for a few games.

Analysis

1James Harden HOU3Harden gets the top spot without the full slate of games. Since Chris Paul has gone down, he's been even more productive and he's even had time to run the point and compile assists. 
2DeMar DeRozan SAS4DeRozan will continue to be featured as the Spurs top scoring weapon. He gets a ton of time w/ the ball in his hands and he leads the team in assists and steals as well. 
3Victor Oladipo IND4Oladipo has been able to stay healthy and in the lineup and he shoudn't have any playing time restrictions for his full slate. He'll continue  to be the Pacers top option. 
4Jrue Holiday NO3Even though Elfrid Payton is healthy, Holiday will still get time to run the point and that will help his assist-numbers. He'll get a lot of shots and he'll often look to drive and draw contact. 
5Lou Williams LAC4Williams continues to be the ultimate utility option in the NBA. He'll produce points and dimes from both PG and SG and he doesn't need a lot of playing time to be productive. 
6Jeremy Lamb CHA4Lamb is over his Hamstring injury and he should be able to get up more shots this week and he shouldn't have any minutes restrictions on him. He'll also provide help grabbing boards. 
7Nicolas Batum CHA4Batum is also in a good spot w/ the full slate. He hasn't been as productive as in past seasons, but he should be able to hit double figures in scoring more often then not and he'll help w/ boards.
8Zach LaVine CHI3LaVine leads the Bulls in scoring and he'll take a high volume of shots in each game and he'll have a lot of time w/ the ball in his hands. He'll also provide help w/ boards, assists and steals. 
9Khris Middleton MIL3Middleton continues to be the second scoring option for the Bucks and I'll continue to say it each week that he tries looking for the cutter and he's not as focused on shooting. 
10Klay Thompson GSW3Thompson knows his role on the team and he's often a big reason why the Warriors are able to increase leads so quickly. He'll provide steals help on the perimeter as well. 
11Buddy Hield SAC3Hield has been a good mid and long-range scoring weapon for the Kings all season. He's shown a lot of growth w/ his game overall. He can be relied on to pull down boards. 
12Donovan Mitchell UT3Mitchell's usage will be at an all-time high as the Jazz are running out of healthy guards. Ricky Rubio , Raul Neto and Dante Exum are all hurt. Expect his assist-numbers to increase this week. 
13Marcus Smart BOS4Smart gets a lot of starts and the reason is because of his ability to knockdown three's and the good perimeter defense he plays. He'll grab long boards and steals consistently. 
14Jaylen Brown BOS4Brown has been able to be helpful in the Celtics second unit. He plays good perimeter defense and often sets up at the arc. He will get some minutes at SF as well. He has rotation security. 
15CJ McCollumPOR3McCollum continues to be a useful second scoring option for the Blazers. He gets a lot of time w/ the ball and he'll set up right near the elbow and he'll take a lot of mid-range jumpers. 
16Malcolm Brogdon MIL3Brogdon will spend games rotating between PG and SG and he's been productive at both spots. Expect him to provide help w/ scoring and assists consistently. 
17Andrew Wiggins MIN3Wiggins will see even more shots in the Timberwolves offense if Jeff Teague has to sit for a few games after re-injuring his Ankle. Robert Covington being out will give Wiggins more shots too. 
18JJ Redick PHI3Redick is a a good spark-shooter and he'll get open anywhere around the arc and he'll hit long three-pointers. He'll provide some help w/ assists as he's another SG who looks for the cutter. 
19Jordan Clarkson CLE3Clarkson will get minutes at both guard spots and he's very helpful when the Cavs are on transition because of his speed. Larry Nance Jr. being out will give the Cavs back court more shots. 
20Devin Booker PHX4

INJ: Booker has missed his last three games and his status for the week is up in the air. He may need to miss at least one more game because of his injured Back.

Analysis

1Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL3The Greek Freak keeps the top spot without having the full slate. He'll provide major production in all categories except for three-pointers. 
2Kevin Durant GSW3Durant should have another week in which he's highly productive in at least four categories. He shares top scoring responsibilities w/ Curry and he'll provide a ton of help pulling down boards. 
3Paul George OKC3The Thunder's second scoring option will provide a lot of help on defense. Expect a good amount of production w/ boards and steals. Expect George to also take a few three's each game. 
4Kawhi Leonard TOR3Leonard leads the Raptors in scoring, rebounding and steals and he is a huge difference-maker when on the court. He does have a back to back later this week. There's a chance he sits for a game. 
5Danilo Gallinari LAC4Gallinari has been a consistent second scoring option for the Clippers and he'll take a lot of long-range jumpers and then he'll step inside the arc and grab boards. 
6T.J. Warren PHX4Warren has been doing a great job at both forward spots. He's been spending a little more time at PF and his rebounding numbers reflect it. He may be switched to the PF rankings next week. 
7Bojan Bogdanovic IND4Bogdanovic has been able to produce as the Pacers main bailout scorer. He'll get a lot of high-percentage long-range shots and owners can expect help w/ rebounding and steals too. 
8Nikola Mirotic NO3Mirotic has played over 20 minutes in both games since returning from injury. Expect his minutes to increase this week and expect more plays to be called for him. 
9Jimmy Butler PHI3It's been an interesting time for Butler in Philly to say the least, but, he's still producing points, boards and steals. Owners can expect him to take a lot of shots from mid and long-range. 
10Gordon Hayward BOS4Hayward has been used as a utility player and he's acting on the court as more of a bailout option. He doesn't attack the rim as much as we're used to seeing. 
11Justin Holiday MEM4The Grizzlies mid-court is injured. Dillon Brooks is out for the season and Kyle Anderson will miss the next few weeks of action. New addition Holiday should be utilized more. Expect him to hit three's.
12Kelly Oubre Jr.  PHX4Oubre should be utilized more, especially his long-range game, if Booker has to continue to sit w/ a Back injury. He'll provide help grabbing long rebounds. 
13Reggie Bullock DET4Bullock is the fourth scoring option and he'll be featured as a mid-range shooter. He's more of a screen-setter, but he will provide some help w/ boards and steals on the defensive end. 
14Josh Richardson MIA3Richardson will see a lot of shots in this offense. He has become the Heat's priority shooter from mid-range along w/ Dwayne Wade and he has good ball-handling abilities and will switch to PG too.
15Bogdan Bogdanovic SAC3Bogdanovic will continue to be featured in the Kings offense. He's more of a jump-shooter than driver, but he's not afraid to take the ball to the rim. He'll provide help w/ long boards and dimes.
16Joe Ingles UT3Ingles will take more shots because there will be times when Mitchell will have to run point because of the lack of guard weapons. Expect Ingles to also have time as the play-maker. 
17Luka Doncic DAL2Doncic still makes the list despite having the short slate and w/ Dennis Smith Jr. still banged up, expect him to have more time running the point and his assists should increase this week. 
18Justise Winslow MIA3Winslow will see minutes at multiple position including PG. He has been spending more time bringing up the ball as Goran Dragic continues to sit. He'll grab long rebounds as well. 
19Brandon Ingram LAL3Ingram will be more involved in the Lakers offense filling in until LeBron James is fully healthy. Ingram should see more minutes and shots for at least one more week even if James returns this week.
20LeBron James LAL3INJ: It's looking like James will miss his first game of the week, but he's healing up and could possibly make it back for the rest of his slate.

Analysis

1Blake Griffin DET4Griffin should be one of the top producers of the week as the Pistons top option w/ the full slate. Expect a high volume of scoring w/ help from him pulling down boards consistently. 
2Tobias Harris LAC4Harris will also have a very productive week w/ the full slate. Just when you think he'll continue to attack the rim, he'll step back and hit three's. He'll help w/ boards as well. 
3LaMarcus Aldridge SAS4Aldridge will continue to be a priority scorer in the Spurs offense. The Spurs big men are not that skilled. Jakob Poeltl is raw and Davis Bertans is more of a jump-shooter. Expect a lot of boards. 
4Jayson Tatum BOS4Tatum will attack the rim w/ force and keep plays alive. On the defnsive end, he'll play bigger than he is. He'll get through screens easily and grab a lot of boards and steals on the defensive end. 
5Marcus Morris BOS4Morris is healthy and shouldn't have any limitations this week. Expect the Celtics Enforcer to be hard to box out in the paint on defense and to hit open three's and mid-range jumpers. 
6Julius Randle NO3Even w/ Mirotic back in the mix, it shouldn't impact Randle too much as he'll be the priority scorer w/ the Pelicans second unit. He'll grab a lot of boards from right under the basket. 
7Thaddeus Young IND4Myles Turner being help will give Young more love in the Pacers offense. He's more of a slasher than a jump-shooter and he'll draw a lot of contact attacking the rim. He'll help w/ boards and steals. 
8Jaren Jackson Jr.  MEM4Jackson has had an impressive rookie year. Between his shooting range and strong leaping ability, the Grizzlies have found their PF of the future. He has good speed as well and will get to the rim. 
9Marvin Williams CHA4Williams has improved his play over the last month and w/ Cody Zeller still hurt, more plays will be called for Williams in the paint. His scoring and rebounding numbers continue to rise. 
10JaMychal Green MEM4Green will also see more minutes in the Grizzlies offense because of all of their mid-court injuries. Green doesn't need a lot of minutes to produce points and boards.
11Aaron Gordon ORL3Gordon will continue being the Magic's second scoring option and he'll grab a lot of rebounds. He'll even provide help w/ assists to a lesser extent. He'll provide some help w/ steals on the perimeter.
12Draymond Green GSW3Green is not the most reliable scorer, but, when it comes to boards, dimes, steals and blocks, he makes it look easy. He's been able to stay on the court and he's logged over 31 minutes per game. 
13Lauri Markkanen CHI3Markkanen has also been able to stay healthy and w/ Bobby Portis once again hurting, his usage should go up this week. Expect Markkanen to prioritize long-range shots, but he'll crash the boards. 
14Pascal Siakam TOR3Jonas Valanciunas is still out and even when he returns, Siakam has earned his spot using his size for inside scoring and grabbing boards consistently. He's even grabbed one steal per game.
15Kyle Kuzma LAL3Kuzma will be prioritized more in the Lakers offense until James comes back. You can even consider him the top option w/ James still out. He'll grab a lot of long boards. 
16Serge Ibaka TOR3Ibaka continues to improve his block totals. He's been playing as more of a big man this season rather than a bailout shooter and he's been scoring and grabbing boards consistently. 
17Paul Millsap DEN3Millsap has been able to stay on the court since returning from injury and he shouldn't see any minutes restrictions this week. He'll help w/ points and boards and won't lose PT if Will Barton returns.
18John Collins ATL2Collins makes the list even w/ the short slate. He's made a tremendous impact on the court since returning from injury. He gets a lot of plays called for him and he's a very reliable rebounder. 
19Al-Farouq Aminu POR3Aminu's minutes are safe and he'll get playing time at both forward spots. He can shoot long-range jumpers, but he's more of a slasher looking to draw contact. He'll provide strong help on the glass.
20Derrick Favors UT3Favors will see more shots from the elbow due to all of the Jazz guard injuries. More of the Jazz offense will have to come from the interior and Favors will get more plays called for him in the high post.

Analysis

1Anthony Davis DEN3Davis won't see his usage drop because Mirotic has returned to the court. Because of Mirotic's ability to shoot from long-range, Davis will line up in the post more which will lead to more boards. 
2Andre Drummond DET4Drummond won't drive a lot to the basket, but he'll call for the ball a lot in the post and he'll succeed because he uses his big body to gain positioning. Expect him to pull down a ton of rebounds. 
3Joel Embiid PHI3Embiid is still the priority scorer for the Sixers and he has shown his durability this season. He'll hit three's and destroy teams in the post. Expect him to block a lot of shots. 
4Karl-Anthony Towns MIN3Towns hurt his Ankle on Friday and then played the next night and grabbed 27 boards. He's been a major help w/ blocks this season and w/ Covington and the guards hurt, he'll get more shots. 
5Marc Gasol MEM4Gasol continues to be the second scoring option for the Grizzlies and he balances his offense between post-play and three-point shooting. He's also a very reliable rebounder. 
6Nikola Jokic DEN3Jokic has provided consistent help in just about every category. He also has very good handles for a big man and he's dished 7.5 assists per game while averaging a double-double in points and boards.
7Deandre Ayton PHX4Ayton has been very strong his rookie season and if Booker needs to miss more time, he'll become the priority scorer. He'll produce in the paint and from mid-range while pulling down a lot of boards. 
8Nikola Vucevic ORL3Vucevic is the Magic's top scoring option and he's making a great case why he deserves to get paid a lot of money. He has better moves in the post than most centers and he can shoot three's. 
9Domantas Sabonis IND4Sabonis will continue to see more minutes and usage if Myles Turner has to continue to sit. Sabonis should have the paint to himself for at least one to two more games before Turner returns. 
10Clint Capela HOU3As the Rockets main big man, expect Capela's usage to always be high in the post. The other Rockets big men are either too old or quite simply not skilled enough on offense to get plays.
11Rudy Gobert UT3Gobert continues to be strong at controlling the paint and he'll produce a lot of points, boards and blocks and w/ all of the Jazz back court injuries, the big men will feast w/ more plays called for them. 
12Montrezl Harrell LAC4Harrell doesn't even need to start to be productive. Marcin Gortat has been an inconsistent producer all year and Harrell is a lot quicker of a big man and he'll provide consistent points and boards help.
13Al Horford BOS4Horford has been able to stay on the court and he's been more helpful w/ blocking shots. He'll still hit long-range shots and grab enough boards for owners to be satisfied, but he fights for shots. 
14Jusuf Nurkic POR3Nurkic continues to be the third scoring option for the Blazers, but he's very skilled in the post and he'll still get a lot of plays called for him and he'll grab a high volume of rebounds. 
15Hassan Whiteside MIA3INJ: Whiteside missed his last game because he was Sick. He may need to miss his first game of the week on Tuesday
16Steven Adams OKC3Adams has averaged a double-double this season and he'll have to play even deeper into games w/ Nerlens Noel out for a bit after taking a nasty fall. He's also recorded five straight multi-steal games. 
17Tristan Thompson CLE3Thompson is back and his usage should go up because Larry Nance Jr. will miss the next few weeks. He played 37 minutes in his last game and owners shouldn't have to worry about PT restrictions. 
18Willie Cauley-Stein SAC3Cauley-Stein has recorded double-doubles in four of his last five games and he's seeing minutes in the 20's and 30s. He's also blocked shots in three straight games. 
19Bismack Biyombo CHA4Biyombo only makes this list because of the full slate he has. He'll grab a lot of boards in volume, but his offensive ability is limited. He'll split time w/ Willy Hernangomez until Cody Zeller returns. 
20Myles Turner IND4INJ: Turner is practicing again, but it's uncertain whether or not he'll be active for his full slate of games beginning on Tuesday.He'll likely miss at least one more game
