| 14 | Rajon Rondo | LAL | 4 | Lonzo Ball may need more time than originally anticipated to heal up and that completely benefits Rondo. If the Lakers are going to make a playoff push, they will need to rely on vets. |
| 15 | Kyle Lowry | TOR | 3 | Lowry shouldn't see too much of a drop in his scoring. He'll still be prioritzed a bit more than Marc Gasol and as the Raptors ball-handler, control is often in his destiny. |
| 16 | Kris Dunn | CHI | 4 | Dunn has been a good defensive guard this season and he's been able to use his quickness to get to the rim. He'll provide help w/ scoring, assists and steals. |

| 19 | Dennis Schroder | OKC | 4 | Schroder will be the priority scorer w/ the Thunder's second unit and besides being a volume scorer, he'll also help a bit w/ assists as well. Even behind Westbrook, he remains active. |

| 7 | C.J. McCollum | POR | 4 | McCollum is the Blazers second scoring option and if he gets to share the court w/ Enes Kanter, that should boost help his assist numbers moving forward. Expect help w/ steals. |

| 10 | Malcolm Brogdon | MIL | 4 | Brogdon will start to see a hit in his shot totals because of Mirotic being added to the team. He will still get shots w/ the second unit and he'll have some time at PG. |
| 11 | Devin Booker | PHX | 3 | Booker is the Suns top scoring weapon and w/ Tyler Johnson on the team, he'll be running the point a bit less and stick to his natural SG position. |

Small Forward

| 4 | Giannis Antetokounmpo | MIL | 4 | INJ: Giannis is dealing w/ a sore Knee and he will likely have to miss his first game of the week. It's not a lock but Monday's game isn't looking good. |
| 5 | Kawhi Leonard | TOR | 3 | Leonard's Knee is fully healthy and being that he rested in his previous game and he's not looking at a back to back this week, expect him active for all three of his games. |

| 10 | Brandon Ingram | LAL | 4 | Ingram is fighting to keep his minutes high and he'll get a lot of shots w/ the Lakers second unit. He'll help grab long boards and he has the ability to bring up the ball as well. |
| 11 | Bojan Bogdanovic | IND | 4 | Bogdanovic will continue to benefit from Victor Oladipo being absent from the lineup and he'll get more shots, but he won't just shoot three's. Expect him to step inside the arc. |

| 15 | Gordon Hayward | BOS | 4 | Hayward seems limited when it comes to what his responsibilities are when he's on the floor. He doesn't get as much time to drive w/ the ball and serves as more of a bailout scorer. |
| 16 | Cedi Osman | CLE | 4 | Osman will continue to be the primary SF for the Cavs and he'll see plenty of long-range shots. He has been stepping inside a bit to bang w/ the big boys, but Kevin Love is back. |

Power Forward
| RANK | NAME | Team | # Games | Analysis |

| 2 | Lauri Markkanen | CHI | 4 | Markkanen is the Bulls second leading scorer and he'll get fed a lot because the Bulls are pretty thin up front and he's their most skilled big man at this point. |
| 3 | Julius Randle | NO | 4 | Randle will see his role grow and he'll takeover as the Pelicans top scoring weapon and he'll also see his minutes increased because they are limiting Holiday and Davis. |
| 4 | John Collins | ATL | 4 | The Hawks top scoring weapon will continue attacking the rim w/ force and it's hard to keep him out of the lane and he'll be huge on the glass as well. |
| 5 | Kevin Love | CLE | 4 | Love is still getting playing time in the 20's, but it wouldn't be out of the realm of possiblity for his minutes to get increased to the 30's in a game this week. |
| 6 | Nikola Mirotic | MIL | 4 | Mirotic could see more shots if Giannis sits. He's currently the third scoring option for the Bucks, but could move up the priority list down the stretch as the second option. |

| 11 | Larry Nance Jr. | CLE | 4 | Nance is a good compliment to Love because he plays exclusively in the lane and he'll get fed under the basket plenty. He doesn't have too many post moves but he'll get to the rim. |
| 12 | Thaddeus Young | IND | 4 | Young has benefitted a ton from Oladipo being out and if Myles Turner has to sit for another game, expect Young's usage to go up even more and he'll help w/ points and boards. |

| 16 | Jerami Grant | OKC | 4 | Grant has been dealing w/ an Ankle injury, but he should be active for the Thunder's full slate this week. Markieff Morris may start impeding on his minutes down the stretch. |

| 19 | Taj Gibson | MIN | 4 | Gibson will see more minutes and usage if Towns has to sit for more games. He's one of the few players who doesn't need 20 minutes per game to put up points and boards. |
| 20 | Justise Winslow | MIA | 4 | INJ: Winslow missed his last game w/ a sore Knee and he will likely have to sit for his first game of the week. |
Center
| RANK | NAME | Team | # Games | Analysis |

| 2 | Andre Drummond | DET | 4 | Drummond continues to dominate the paint and he doesn't have many moves to the basket, but he's the best rebounder in the league and he'll score off of second-chance ops. |
| 3 | Anthony Davis | NO | 4 | Davis moves down the rankings even w/ the full slate because he's not only getting his minutes limited, but he'll likely be held out of back to backs moving forward. |
| 4 | Clint Capela | HOU | 4 | Capela is back and set for full usage this week and as the Rockets most skilled big man and their third scoring option along w/ Harden's health, expect more usage this week. |

| 6 | Jusuf Nurkic | POR | 4 | Nurkic's spot is safe in the Blazers rotation even w/ Kanter on the team. Kanter won't get extended minutes unless an injury occurs. He's got excellent moves and he's the third option. |
| 7 | Hassan Whiteside | MIA | 4 | Whiteside doesn’t need a lot of minutes to be productive as he's a beast in the paint. He's been able to stay healthy and will grab a ton of boards. |

| 9 | Al Horford | BOS | 4 | Horford has been more of a defensive help this season and he's not as focused on his offensive game. He'll get plenty of boards and blocks while still scoring in double figures. |
| 10 | DeMarcus Cousins | GSW | 4 | Cousins will continue to see an increase in minutes and his overall stats will rise down the stretch and he'll be a multi-category producer including shooting from long-range. |

| 19 | Marc Gasol | TOR | 3 | Gasol will see his scoring drop a bit as the Raptors have a lot of options. As the team's third scoring option, he'll look to set up at the arc a good amount and help w/ boards and blocks. |
| 20 | Karl-Anthony Towns | MIN | 4 | INJ: Towns was in a car accident last week and he's dealing w/ a Concussion and he's missed his last two games. His status is uncertain for his next couple of games |
