Fantasy NBA: Week 4 Preview

The injuries continue to pile up around the league. CP3, Josh Howard, Mareese Speights and Kelenna Azubuike all appear to have suffered serious injuries, and will be out for sometime. If your fantasy team has managed to stay healthy then you are likely sitting pretty within your league.

Tough Schedules

    Golden State – CLE, BOS, POR

      All three of the Warriors opponents in Week Four are in the top five hardest to score fantasy points against. Don’t expect much from your Warriors this week.

    Minnesota – HOU, POR

      The T-Wolves only have two games this week, and one of them is against the hardest team to score fantasy points on, Portland. Yuck!

    Washington – CLE, OKC, SAS

      Jamison is set to return this week, but he get to face two of this year’s toughest defenses in the league, Cleveland and OKC. The Cavs-Wiz “Rivalry” always brings out the best of Gilbert Arenas, but the rest of the Wiz may struggle a bit this week.

    L.A. Lakers – DET, CHI, OKC

      Kobe is fighting through injuries, while Pau GaSoft is still nursing his boo-boos. Bynum appears to be the only safe play right now, with Kobe, Odom and Artest all being borderline.

    Orlando – CHA, OKC, BOS, TOR

      The Magic have four games, but expect a lot of inconsistency since they play some tough teams, and will be adjusting to getting Rashard back in the lineup.
