Fantasy hoops weekly rankings: Sit Kawhi Leonard?

Read on for weekly rankings

You're in a weekly transaction league, and you need to decide by Monday evening who your starting lineup will be for the week. Should you consider sitting usual impact starters like Kawhi Leonard? Or perhaps starting someone like Markelle Fultz or Mo Bamba, who might generally be on your bench, perhaps even your waiver wire?

As pointed out in the Forecaster, the schedule plays a huge part in the weekly rankings. The Clippers, Jazz and Kings all play only two games this week while there are 11 squads that play twice as often.

It is interesting that Karl-Anthony Towns and Joel Embiid both still finish in the top 10 of the rankings despite serving part of their fight suspension.

Similarly, Trae Young is a question mark after having missed the Hawks' last game with an ankle injury, though indications are that he could be back by Tuesday. He got a small decrement in the rankings, but still scores as a potential starter.

Draymond Green and D'Angelo Russell both got boosts in their projections with the Stephen Curry injury, and both measure out as easy starts.

Here is a look at my top-200 fantasy NBA projections and rankings for the week ahead:
