Here’s a look at the Week Three NBA schedule.
Four Games
Dallas Mavericks
Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Shawn Marion, and Jason Kidd should be started with confidence. Jose Juan Barea (assists) and Erick Dampier (rebounds, blocks) are decent option because of the four-game schedule.
Golden State Warriors
Pretty sweet to have the high-scoring Warriors on a heavy schedule this week. Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, and Corey Maggette are excellent choices. Anthony Morrow, Anthony Randolph, and Kelenna Azubuike could be in some lineups because of the extra game.
Houston Rockets
Trevor Ariza, Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry, and Luis Scola make fine plays this week. Shane Battier, Chase Budinger, and Chuck Hayes are decent plays because of the four games scheduled this week.
Los Angeles Clippers
Chris Kaman, Eric Gordon, Marcus Camby, and Baron Davis should be in your lineups. Everyone else shouldn’t even be on your roster at this point.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Al Jefferson, Corey Brewer, and Jonny Flynn are your best options. Olekisky Pecherov and Ryan Gomes are options.
New Orleans Hornets
Chris Paul, David West, and Emeka Okafor are the only sure things. Bobby Brown can be used if you need scoring.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, and Russell Westbrook are the only locks. Nenad Krstic has slowed down, but still worth a gamble at four games.
Philadelphia 76ers
Andre Iguodala, Lou Williams, Thadeus Young, and Elton Brand make nice plays. Marreesse Speights is an iffy play, but worth mentioning.
Phoenix Suns
With four games on tap, Steve Nash, Jason Richardson, Amar’e Stoudemire, and Grant Hill are must starts this week. Leandro Barbosa would be a nice play if his wrist proves healthy.
Portland Trailblazers
Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge are excellent options. Travis Outlaw and Greg Oden are decent plug-in players.
T oronto Raptors
Chris Bosh, Andrea Bargnani, Hedo Turkoglu, and Jose Calderon are the only ones I’d trust, even with four games this week.
Utah Jazz
Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur, Ronnie Brewer, Paul Millsap, and Andrei Kirilenko are all nice plays this week.
Three Games
Atlanta Hawks
Joe Johnson, Jamal Crawford, Josh Smith, and Al Horford are worth using. I’d probably leave Marvin Williams and Mike Bibby on my bench.
Boston Celtics
Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo are worth starting. I’m iffy on Rasheed Wallace and Kendrick Perkins. Everyone else isn’t worth considering.
