The weekly NBA rankings are determined by opportunity and performance. For this week---BOS/BKN/DAL/DEN/DET/GSW/HOU/LAC/LAL/MIA/MIL/NO/SAS/TOR all have 3 games on the slate and CHI and MIN have just 2 games. The rest of the teams have 4 games for the week (except for IND and PHI that have 5) and that changes things a lot. Malcolm Brogdon, for example, has 5 games so that will naturally move him up because it gives him more opportunties to produce.

A point system is used that weighs specialties like steals, blocks and three-point shooting a bit heavier. Percentages are not looked at as strongly, but are still taken into consideration. Multi-category producers will always get a bump in rankings as long as they have full slates. Injuries will occur, but knowing what we know at this moment, here are the players that will help you dominate the week.
