Point Guard

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Russell WestbrookOKC2Westbrook takes the top spot and even though Paul George continues to play better throughout the season, he is still the top option for the Thunder. 
2Stephen CurryGSW2Curry continues to be the 1A option and minutes will and time w/ the ball will always be on his side and he'll be a huge help w/ points, three's and dimes. 
3Kyrie IrvingBOS2Even though it seemed like Irving's Knees were an issue prior to the break, he should be a full go for his two games this week as the Celtics top option.
4Damian LillardPOR2INJ: Lillard is suffering from a sprained Ankle and there's a chance he'll miss his first game of the week.
5Ben SimmonsPHI2Simmons won't see much of a decline in his production now that Tobias Harris is around. He still will get a lot of time w/ the ball and he's an incredible driver and playmaker. 
6Kemba WalkerCHA2Walker is by far and away the Hornets top scoring option and he'll continue to score a high volume of points in the majority of games while helping w/ assists. 
7Kyle LowryTOR2Lowry is fully healthy and he'll continue to be the Raptors second scoring option. Adding Marc Gasol on the outside should help his assist-numbers rise. 
8Chris PaulHOU2Paul will have more options to feed w/ the return of Clint Capela. He'll be able to force the ball in the paint and we should expect his production to go up over the next week. 
9D'Angelo RussellBKN2Even w/ Caris LeVert back in the mix, Russell is still the Nets top scorer and will be for the rest of the way and he'll be a big help w/ dimes and steals. 
10Mike ConleyMEM2Conley's usage will be its highest for the rest of the season w/ Gasol traded. Conley will have a ton of time w/ the ball and take a lot of shots. Jaren Jackson Jr. is their second option.
11De'Aaron FoxSAC2Fox has another toy to play w/ in Harrison Barnes. He'll be able to feed Barnes on the drive and that will help his assists. Fox has done a good job of keeping the Kings offense moving.
12Eric BledsoeMIL2Even w/ the addition of Nikola Mirotic, Bledsoe should still be able to score in double figures consistently. His defense will keep him in games longer. Expect boards and steals.
13Jamal MurrayDEN2Murray is a sjoot-first PG, but he'll be needed down the stretch to be the Nuggets second scoring option. He's quick and he frequently finds himself open on and off the ball. 
14Trae YoungATL2Young will continue to be the Hawks second scoring option and there will never be a shortage of shots for him. He'll help out on the assist-front too, but may hurt your percentages.
15Jeff TeagueMIN2Teague is fully healthy and he'll be the priority PG moving forward as long as he doesn't suffer from another Leg injury. He'll be used as the third scoring option and will help dish dimes.
16Derrick RoseMIN2Rose has earned his spot this season and he'll get plenty of time to score and even fight for boards on the outside to keep plays alive. He's been a good facilitator when needed. 
17Tomas SatoranskyWSH2Satoransky will continue being the Wizards primary ball-handler for the rest of the way and he'll try to push the ball inside and he'll even sacrifice his body doing it. He's a good passer.
18Rajon RondoLAL2Lonzo Ball needs more time to recover and Rondo will see heavy minutes until Ball is ready. Rondo isn't the best shooter, but he'll still get to the rim and help w/ boards and dimes.
19Ricky RubioUT2Rubio is fully healthy and he'll continue to be the fourth shooting option on the Jazz. He'll be helpful w/ assists and steals and he'll keep the Jazz offense moving quickly. 
20Kris DunnCHI2INJ: Dunn has been dealing w/ Back issues for the last week and there's a chance he'll have to miss his first game of the week.

Shooting Guard

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1James HardenHOU2Clint Capela being back in the mix could bring Harden's scoring down a little bit, but he's been on a tear and what he loses in points, he'll make up for in assists. 
2Bradley BealWSH2Beal will be the Wizards top scoring option for the rest of the way. Expect to play deep into games and he'll even get time to run the offense. He'll provide help w/ steals too. 
3Jrue HolidayNO2If Anthony Davis is held out a bit more down the stretch, Holiday will be the prioritized scorer and top option. He's been productive at both guard spots and he'll help dish dimes. 
4Devin BookerPHX2Booker is fully healthy and w/ the addition of Tyler Johnson, he should be playing more at SG for the rest of the way as the Suns head towards the lottery. Expect a ton of points. 
5DeMar DeRozanSAS2DeRozan will continue to lead the guards in providing a lot of offense and he's been a multi-category producer just like he was in Toronto. Expect points, boards, dimes and steals. 
6Zach LaVineCHI2LaVine will share top scoring responsibilities w/ Lauri Markkanen for the rest of the way and Otto Porter Jr. won't be too much of a threat. His usage will go up if Dunn sits. 
7Donovan MitchellUT2Mitchell has been more productive since the turn of the year. As soon as he lost all of his guards, he was forces to be multi-dimensional again and do more than just shoot from the arc.
8Klay ThompsonGSW2Thompson has been a bit more productive over the last few weeks. He's not your typical third scoring option. He gets fed a lot and frequently finds himself open.
9Khris MiddletonMIL2Middleton should be coming into the week w/ the utmost confidence after his showing at the All-Star game. It's sink or swim time because Nikola Mirotic is getting into the mix. 
10Buddy HieldSAC2It'll be interesting to see if Hield loses a lot of shots w/ the addition of Harrison Barnes. He'll continue to grab long boards and steals and should be able to still hit double figures. 
11C.J. McCollumPOR2McCollum is still the second option for the Blazers and the addition of Enes Kanter shouldn't impact his shots at all. If Lillard has to sit for a game, his usage will rise. 
12Lou WilliamsLAC2Williams will be prioritized even more w/ Harris traded. Williams will be called upon to be a second scoring option and w/ a little less clutter in the back court, expect him to gain PT.
13Caris LeVertBKN2LeVert is healthy again, but the Nets may not fully let him loose until he can prove that he can recover after gameplay without any setbacks. His minutes could be restricted for a bit.
14Malcolm BrogdonMIL2Brogdon could be looking at a bit of a hit when it comes to his production w/ the addition of Mirotic, but he'll still get plenty of  shots w/ the Bucks second unit.
15Andrew WigginsMIN2Wiggins was Sick before the break so he should be a full go this week and he'll continue to be the Timberwolves second scoring option and he'll produce boards and steals. 
16Tim Hardaway Jr.DAL2THJ is the Mavericks second scoring option for the rest of the way as most of the Mavs offense will come from the guards and he should get plenty of time w/ the ball. 
17Jeremy LambCHA2Lamb will not only see a lot of shots, but he'll crash the boards after he shoots three's and keep plays alive. He's always hustling and fighting to keep plays alive.
18JJ RedickPHI2Redick will see a little bit of a hit when it comes to his production because Harris can hit long-range shots. Redick (like Brogdon) will have a ton of opportunities w/ the second unit. 
19Jordan ClarksonCLE2Clarkson will be relied on at both guard spots for the rest of the way and even w/ Kevin Love returning, Collin Sexton needs to develop a bit more and he's securely in the rotation.
20Dwayne WadeMIA2Wade has been able to fill the Heat gaps w/ guards hurt and traded and he'll continue to help score from mid-range. He'll start to run the point a bit less w/ Goran Dragic returning. 

Small Forward

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Giannis AntetokounmpoMIL2INJ: Even though he is dealing w/ sore Knees, Giannis should be active for both of his games this week. As always, he'll help in all areas except for three-pointers. 
2LeBron JamesLAL2James is fully healthy and won't have any type of restrictions for the rest of the way and the Lakers offense will run exclusively through him. 
3Paul GeorgeOKC2George has improved his production as he and Westbrook take on most of the offensive burden in OKC and he'll help a ton w/ boards and steals. 
4Kevin DurantGSW2Durant continues to be the 1B option as he'll share the priority scorer spot w/ Curry. He's done a great job of balancing his offense between driving and long-range scoring. 
5Kawhi LeonardTOR2Looking up the Raptors schedule has become a priority because of how they are using Leonard. There aren't any back to back situations to restrict him this week. Expect him active.
6Luka DoncicDAL2Doncic remains the top option for the Mavs as their Point Forward. He'll spend a lot of time bringing up the ball and he'll take deep shots, drive and dish a lot of assists. 
7Jimmy ButlerPHI2Butler is going to have to fight for shots w/ Harris, but both can remain productive from a fantasy perspective. Butler's defense will keep him in games down the stretch. 
8Danilo GallinariLAC2Gallinari will be the Clippers top shooting option for the rest of the way. Expect his scoring to rise as he'll hit from mid and long-range and he'll continue to help pull down boards. 
9Josh RichardsonMIA2Richardson will be playing a lot of SF moving forward w/ Dragic returning, but he'll still get back up minutes behind Dragic to facilitate the offense. He'll be focusing more on scoring.
10Trevor ArizaWSH2Ariza will see heavy minutes moving forward because of his spot-up shooting ability from long-range and he'll help grab steals on the defensive end. 
11Rudy GaySAS2Gay is fully healthy and he'll continue to be the Spurs third option for the rest of the way and he'll produce a lot of his scoring from mid-range and he'll grab boards in the paint. 
12Otto Porter Jr.CHI2Porter will be the Bulls third scoring option and he'll be used often to force the ball inside and he'll help grab boards and steals on the defensive end. 
13Bojan BogdanovicIND2Bogdanovic will continue to benefit from Victor Oladipo being out for the rest of the season by getting more shots and playing time. He helps the Pacers spread the floor w/ his size.
14Joe InglesUT2Ingles has been a good sharp-shooter this season and he's proven that he's not just a bailout scorer. He's been helpful w/ boards and steals on the perimeter. 
15Bogdan BogdanovicSAC2Bogdanovic is currently fighting for his life when it comes to the Kings offense because the addition of Barnes could impact his scoring numbers negatively. He will keep his spot and PT.
16Joe HarrisBKN2Until Spencer Dinwiddie comes back, Harris will still be a prioritized scorer in the Nets offense. He'll also benefit from the Nets managing LeVert's minutes as well. 
17Brandon IngramLAL2Ingram showed in the few games before the break that he can still be helpful w/ scoring and grabbing boards even w/ LeBron back in the mix. Let's hope he continues to produce. 
18Kelly Oubre Jr. PHX2Oubre has benefitted the most from T.J. Warren being out by getting more minutes and more shots. Oubre will also help grab long boards and steals. 
19Terrence RossORL2Ross will see more shots w/ Jonathon Simmons off the team and expect him to see playing time in the 20's and 30's for the rest of the way and he'll help w/ points, boards and steals.
20Gordon HaywardBOS2INJ: Hayward may have to miss his first game of the week w/ an injured Ankle. He wasn't able to participate in practice on Wednesday. 

Power Forward

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Blake GriffinDET2Griffin remains the top scoring option for the Pistons and has no competition to take that away from him. Even when Andre Drummond has high-scoring games, Griffin gets his!
2LaMarcus AldridgeSAS2Aldridge will produce at both PF and C. He can hit deep mid-range shots and produce in the post. He's a strong rebounder and he'll even help block shots on defense. 
3Lauri MarkkanenCHI2Markkanen won't see his usage drop w/ Porter on the team and he'll help the Bulls stretch the floor because he can hit long-range jumpers. He'll grab boards consistently too. 
4John CollinsATL2Collins will continue to be the top scoring option for the Hawks down the stretch. He's done a great job of attacking the basket and positioning himself in the paint to keep plays alive.
5Julius RandleNO2Randle will see more production moving forward w/ Mirotic off the team and he'll produce from the low block. If Davis sits more, Randle's usage and minutes will rise even more. 
6Tobias HarrisPHI2Harris will still see a good amount of shots in the Sixers offense, but he's not the prioritized scorer anymore. High-scoring games aren't a lock anymore. He'll help w/ boards too. 
7Kevin LoveCLE2INJ: Love recently returned from a Toe injury and his minutes might be restricted for his next game. Just know that if he wakes up w/ a sore Toe after that gmae, he will likely be held out.
8Nikola MiroticMIL2INJ: Mirotic should be good to go for both of the Bucks games this week. Unless his injured Calf acts up after his first game of the week, he should be active for both games this week.
9Aaron GordonORL2Gordon will remain the second scoring option for the Magic for the rest of the way and he has tremendous leaping ability and will continue helping a ton w/ points and boards. 
10Draymond GreenGSW2Scoring is never easy for Green, but grabbing boards, dishing assists and helping w/ steals comes much easier to him. Plus, he's been able to stay healthy over the last month.
11Pascal SiakamTOR2We'll see over the next few weeks whose scoring gets impacted more between Siakam and Ibaka. Siakam has been more explosive and fits better w/ the second unit. 
12Serge IbakaTOR2Ibaka has done an excellent job of playing more in the paint this season, but w/ Gasol on the team, one of the Raptors big men are losing out on shots. Ibaka will help w/ blocks too. 
13Jayson TatumBOS2Tatum will continues to be the Celtics second scoring option and he can hit from long-range and take it to the basket w/ force. He's also shown he has good ball-handling skills. 
14Kyle KuzmaLAL2Kuzma will be the second scoring option moving forward, but a distant second behind LeBron. Kuzma needs to drive more and not focus as much on long-range scoring. 
15Larry Nance Jr.CLE2Nance will continue to see heavy minutes at both PF and C because Tristan Thompson is hurt and Kevin Love will be restricted for the next couple of weeks. His usage stands pat. 
16Bobby PortisWSH2Portis will be the prioritized scoring big man even if he comes off the bench. He'll provide a ton of inside scoring and rebounding moving forward. He's a very aggressive big man.
17Marcus MorrisBOS2Morris continues to play the role of the Enforcer for the Celtics on defense, but he serves as the main bailout long-range shooter on offense and he's securely in the rotation. 
18Paul MillsapDEN2The Nuggets have a lot of mouths to feed, but Millsap is still prioritized as the third scoring option and his health can be relied on more than Gary Harris at the moment. 
19Thaddeus YoungIND2Young will find ways to get to the rim as a strong slasher and he's another PF who puts the ball up and then immediately crashes the boards. Expect points, boards and steals. 
20Justise WinslowMIA2Winslow can play multiple positions, but w/ Dragic returning, expect Winslow to focus on the PF spot and his rebounding should go up while his assists are likely to drop. 

Center

RANKNAMETeam# GamesAnalysis
1Anthony DavisNO2INJ: After hurting his Shoulder right before the All-Star break, Davis played a few minutes in the ASG on Sunday. He should be good to go for both games, but getting shutdown in still in play.
2Nikola JokicDEN2The Nuggets top scorer will continue to be utilized heavily as the season continues. Jokic not only can hit long-range jumpers, but he'll help bring the ball up and grab a lot of boards. 
3Karl-Anthony TownsMIN2The Timberwolves top option will be needed to produce more in the post w/ Robert Covington still hurt. Expect Towns to also take shots from beyond the arc. 
4Nikola VucevicORL2Vucevic will continue to be the Magic's top scorer for the rest of the way. He's improved his long-range shooting tremendously and he'll grab a lot of boards in the post. 
5Andre DrummondDET2Drummond continues to be limited offensively, but he'll still thrive against weaker front courts because of his size. It's very hard to box him out of the paint and he'll grab a lot of boards. 
6Rudy GobertUT2Gobert continues to be an inside specific center who will score and block shots in the post. Expect him to grab a high-volume of boards and to draw a lot of contact. 
7Marc GasolTOR2Gasol will be in a major timeshare when it comes to the amount of plays that are called for Raptors big men. They are very deep and Gasol is no longer the second scoring option. 
8Jusuf NurkicPOR2Nurkic will not have some competition at the position w/ the arrival of Enes Kanter. Kanter doesn't need a lot of time to produce, but Nurkic will still play close to 30 minutes per game.
9Deandre AytonPHX2Ayton will continue being the Suns second option and more plays will be called for him at the elbow because T.J. Warren is still hurt and the Suns need him to help spread the floor. 
10DeAndre JordanNY2By default, Jordan is the third scoring option for the Knicks and he doesn't need a lot of time to produce. He's limited offensively but will still in double figures and grab a lot of boards.
11Hassan WhitesideMIA2It's hard to tell how many minutes Whiteside will get on a given day, but he's proven that he's hard to stop once he begins driving to the basket. Expect a lot of boards. 
12Clint CapelaHOU2INJ: Capela is expected to return to the court as his injured Thumb is all healed up. There's a chance the Rockets may ease him back into the mix for his first game of the week. 
13Steven AdamsOKC2The gritty Adams will continue to be the third scoring option w/ the starters and he'll score off of pick and rolls to the basket. He'll score and grab boards from right under the rim. 
14Al HorfordBOS2Horford hasn't made as much of a scoring impact this season, but it's clear that he's focusing more on being a post-player rather than a bailout scoring big man. Expect boards and blocks. 
15DeMarcus CousinsGSW2Cousins will start rising in the rankings because his minutes are about to start going up and that will lead to more scoring, rebounding and shot-blocking w/ not competition at C. 
16Domantas SabonisIND2Even though Sabonis is in a timeshare w/ Myles Turner, he doesn't need a lot of time to put up points and he has good post moves. He'll also grab boards consistently. 
17Willie Cauley-SteinSAC2It'll be interesting to see if Cauley-Stein will lose shots w/ Barnes on the team, but he's earned his keep in the Kings rotation and he'll hit a good amount of mid-range shots. 
18Myles TurnerIND2Turner has improved over the last month and he's been making more of an impact on offense because he can hit long-range jumpers and he'll help fill the void Oladipo left behind. 
19Montrezl HarrellLAC2It doesn't matter if Harrell starts or comes off the bench, he'll continue doing all of the dirty work for the Clippers under the basket and help a ton w/ scoring and rebounding. 
20Jarrett AllenBKN2Allen has slowly been developing more of an offensive game, but for now, he'll score a lot off of put backs and open lanes. He's been good at grabbing boards and blocking shots.
