If not for that injury, he would likely not be on this list. Booker is on this list again because of the continued uncertainty surrounding his hamstring injury.Considering that they are usually definite starters, currently ranked in the top 20 of my rest-of-the-season rankings, their score was low enough to mention as (shockingly) potentially sittable. DeRozan and Aldridge both technically finished just inside the top 100 projections for the upcoming week, but they were both in the 90s.They are more risky, but also may be more likely to be available on the free-agency wire. Plumlee, Henson, Bamba and Ntilikina are the four players who just sneaked into top 100 projected value for the week.Burke, Lopez and Prince also project to have top-50 fantasy values this week.He has remained an impact player for the Thunder, even with Westbrook back, and since the Thunder have such an excellent schedule, he projects to be a top-40 fantasy value this week. Schroder projects to have the highest point total among players on this list.The Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies play three games with a Forecaster score of 2, while the Chicago Bulls, Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings have three games and a score of 3. On the other side of the coin, the Spurs have only two games and score the only 1 for the week. The Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Pelicans play three games each, but their potent offenses and favorable opponents netted them 9 and 8 scores, respectively, for the week. The Houston Rockets play four games and score a 9, while the Bucks and Knicks parlayed their four-game schedules into scores of 8. The Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder scored perfect 10s on this week's Forecaster, with four games and a favorable schedule. Per the Forecaster, seven teams have a rating of 8 or higher this week, which indicates a very favorable schedule, while six teams have ratings of 3 or lower to indicate a very unfavorable schedule. There are 11 teams playing four games this week, 18 playing three and only one squad, the San Antonio Spurs, playing just two. The column to the left lists the team's total number of games scheduled, as well as home games, and lists the overall rating from 1-10 for that team's weekly schedule.

These are calculated using a formula that evaluates the team's season-to-date and past-10-games statistics, opponents' numbers in those categories and performance in home/road games depending on where the game is to be played. Matchup ratings are based upon a scale from 1 (poor matchup) to 10 (excellent matchup). Let's take a look at next week's schedules and some player news to help quantitatively answer these questions for these players and many others. Should you consider sitting usual impact starters like DeMar DeRozan or LaMarcus Aldridge? Or perhaps starting someone like Eric Gordon or Frank Ntilikina, who might generally be on your bench - perhaps even your waiver wire? You're in a weekly transaction league, and you need to decide by Monday evening who your starting lineup will be for the week. This isn't an ideal week to use Spurs like DeMar DeRozan and Rudy Gay, but should you actually bench them?
