For a small four-game slate there sure are a lot of moving pieces to sort out before really locking in a lineup on Wednesday. The rosters in Boston and Golden St. in particular are a mess with numerous players already ruled out and other still uncertain to play or not. Meanwhile, there is also injury news to monitor in LA, Orlando and Sacramento that could make a difference on which players to roster. So, I have attempted to list players below that I feel have a secured role/minutes for the most part. Other players that I would consider depending on how injury new shakes out include Klay Thompson, Kyle Kuzma, Aaron Gordon and Skal Labissiere.
The grid below is a snapshot of today’s slate that shows the overall rating for each position for each team. The numbers highlighted in red are the positions that are in the top 25% of their position for the slate and indicate good plays. Meanwhile, the numbers highlighted in blue are the positions that are in the bottom 25% of their respective position for the slate and are positions to avoid.
