Our weekly Fantasy Basketball Planner is the essential guide to setting your lineup for the upcoming scoring period. Every week, we provide you with news and notes for each team, tracking hot and cold players, injuries and rotation changes.

Atlanta Hawks
Schedule: TOR, LAC, @WAS
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, Al Horford
Toss Ups: Jamal Crawford, Mike Bibby
Bad Plays: Marvin Williams, Jeff Teague, Jordan Crawford, Zaza Pachulia
Notes: Williams returned from an 11-game absence due to a back injury on Jan. 26. Initially, it appears his minutes will be limited. Avoid him for now. ... In leagues where a line of 9-3-3 with 1.4 steals per game might get you out of a tough spot, Bibby may be your guy. Those are his January numbers. He is merely an emergency play for deep leagues. ... Crawford has struggled with his shot lately, shooting 23 of 61 (37.7 percent) from the field over his last five, but four of those games have come against top defensive teams (@MIA, NO, @CHA, @MIL). Expect him to break out of the slump against much friendlier opponents in Week 15 (TOR, LAC, @WAS), all of which allow over 100 points per game.

Boston Celtics
Schedule: @SAC, DAL, ORL
Injury Report: Shaquille O'Neal (hip/day-to-day), Jermaine O'Neal (knee/February), Delonte West (wrist/February)
Good Plays: Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce
Toss Ups: Glen Davis
Bad Plays: Kendrick Perkins, Shaquille O'Neal, Semih Erden, Nate Robinson, Marquis Daniels
Notes: Pierce tweaked an ankle on Jan. 25 vs. Cleveland and did not practice the next day. However, he put up 17 points in a win at Portland Thursday night and appears to be fine. ... Perkins made his second straight appearance Thursday night and just missed a double-double. He played just 21 minutes, but the stat line he put up in such limited playing time is an indication he'll be an asset once he gets into game shape. Don't start him yet, but he's definitely worth an add. ... Erden looks like he might be a cheap solution for owners in deep, deep leagues, averaging 7.0 points and 7.5 rebounds over his last four games with the O'Neals both out, but he is a very risky play with Perkins looming around. ... Shaq is expected to be held out of back-to-back sets going forward, though there are not any in Week 15. With Perkins back, Shaq will rarely play more than 20 minutes going forward.

Charlotte Bobcats
Schedule: @UTA, @DET, MIA, DAL
Injury Report: Tyrus Thomas (knee/March)
Good Plays: Stephen Jackson, D.J. Augustin, Gerald Wallace
Toss Ups: Boris Diaw, Kwame Brown
Bad Plays: Nazr Mohammed, Gerald Henderson, Shaun Livingston, Derrick Brown
Notes: Wallace revealed this week that he is still bothered by the ankle injury that sidelined him earlier this month. He will continue to play, but said the ankle stiffens up on him at halftime of games and leaves him at 'about 75 percent' for the second half. He is averaging a 13-3-9 stat line over his last five, however, which is more than enough to want to keep him active. ... Diaw is a jack of all trades, master of none type of player. He is not going to help you a ton in any particular category, but he can chip in just about everywhere. He is averaging a 11-4-5 line over his last five with over a steal per game and some decent 3-point shooting. Take advantage of his diversity in category play. In standard Head-to-Head his well-rounded production allows him to scrape together enough to make him a good low-end play, especially in a four-game week. ... Brown has gained the favor of coach Paul Silas and seems to be earning a bigger role by the game, capped by a pair of back-to-back double-doubles this week. Add him immediately in leagues where center help is scarce off the wire. Consider him a sleeper start in Week 15 if you need a stopgap considering his recent run and four-game slate.

Chicago Bulls
Schedule: @LAC, @GS
Injury Report: Derrick Rose (flu/day-to-day), Joakim Noah (thumb/late February)
Good Plays: Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer
Toss Ups: Luol Deng
Bad Plays: Taj Gibson, Kurt Thomas, Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver, C.J. Watson
Notes: The Bulls are one of just four teams to play two games in Week 15, but both games do come against teams that allow over 100 points per game, making some Bulls good options in average-based play. ... Rose has been dealing with a stomach ulcer this week that has not allowed him to eat regularly. Monitor his progress closely. ... In cumulative formats, Rose (if healthy) and Boozer should do enough given the high-volume matchups to remain active. However, it depends on what alternatives you may have available. They are not must-starts by any means this week, but they are viable. ... Deng is better saved for average-based play this week.

Cleveland Cavaliers
Schedule: @MIA, IND, @MEM, POR
Injury Report: Mo Williams (hip, groin/early February), Anderson Varejao (ankle/likely out for the season)
Good Plays: Antawn Jamison
Toss Ups: J.J. Hickson, Daniel Gibson, Ramon Sessions
Bad Plays: Mo Williams, Manny Harris, Christian Eyenga, Jamario Moon, Anthony Parker
Notes: On Jan. 19, the Cavaliers announced that Williams would be out ' a couple weeks' and there remains no updated timetable. He could return at some point in Week 15, but the lack of a guarantee makes him a player to avoid. ... In Williams' absence, Gibson and Sessions have become solid stopgap plays. With Williams looming, however, both are somewhat risky. Unless the team announces Williams' imminent return, we expect clear skies ahead for both players in the short term. ... Expect Hickson, who is averaging 11.0 points and 13.0 rebounds in his last five games as a starting center, to exploit inside matchups all week -- especially against Miami, who struggle mightily against opposing bigs.

Dallas Mavericks
Schedule: WAS, @NY, @BOS, @CHA
Injury Report: Peja Stojakovic (knee/day-to-day), Roddy Beaubois (foot/early February), Caron Butler (knee/out for the season)
Good Plays: Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd
Toss Ups: Tyson Chandler, Jason Terry, Shawn Marion
Bad Plays: Jose Juan Barea, DeShawn Stevenson, Brendan Haywood, Peja Stojakovic, Roddy Beaubois
Notes: The Mavericks officially added Stojakovic this week, but given his lack of playing time in Toronto over the last month he will be brought along slowly. Eventually, the team sees him as a significant contributor (and perhaps starter) on the wing. ... Beaubois' agent announced this week that his client is 'a week or maybe two' away from returning. He is getting close, but he is not quite there yet. ... Chandler, who is averaging 14.5 points and 8.0 rebounds with 1.3 blocks over his last five, should be a solid play in a four-game week -- especially given easy matchups against the Wizards and Knicks. ... Start Terry -- who is averaging 18.2 points over his last five games -- in any format this week. ... Marion slowed a bit with Nowitzki back in the mix, but is averaging 9.6 points and 8.0 rebounds over his last five and is a worthy low-end play in a four-game week.

Denver Nuggets
Schedule: @NJ, POR, UTA, @MIN
Injury Report: Nene (calf/day-to-day), Kenyon Martin (knee/day-to-day), Chris Andersen (knee, back/day-to-day)
Good Plays: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups
Toss Ups: Nene, Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, J.R. Smith, Ty Lawson
Bad Plays: Kenyon Martin, Chris Andersen, Shelden Williams
Notes: Nene is considered merely 'day-to-day' by the Nuggets, though the extent of his calf injury is unclear. Use the weekend to determine his status for Week 15. We like him as a start as long as he is healthy enough to play. ... The Nuggets are holding Martin out of back-to-back sets. They have one coming up in Week 3, so expect him to play no more than three games. Given his restricted play so far, he is not a worthy play yet anyway. ... Afflalo has scored 17 or more points in three of his last four games. He is a viable low-end play, especially where his 3-point shooting is an asset. ... Harrington has been able to step up with the Nuggets dealing with injuries to Nene, Martin and Andersen. Don't get overly excited about his recent production as a result, but he has some appeal as a low-end play in deeper leagues given the four-game week. ... Smith has not scored in double figures in five straight games. ... Lawson had a streak of four straight games scoring in double figures snapped on Jan. 26 in Detroit when he scored just four points in 17 minutes. His playing time continues to fluctuate dramatically, making him hard to trust in Fantasy.

Detroit Pistons
Schedule: CHA, NJ, @MIL
Injury Report: Rodney Stuckey (shoulder/day-to-day), Richard Hamilton (flu/day-to-day), Jonas Jerebko (Achilles'/out indefinitely)
Good Plays: Rodney Stuckey
Toss Ups: Tayshaun Prince, Greg Monroe, Tracy McGrady, Ben Gordon
Bad Plays: Charlie Villanueva, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Austin Daye, Will Bynum, Chris Wilcox, Jason Maxiell
Notes: In January, Prince has averaged 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. He is a solid play in most formats. ... Monroe seemed to get back on track on Jan. 26 vs. Denver after three straight weak efforts with 14-and-7 against the Nuggets. He remains a viable low-end play, especially where he is eligible at center. ... McGrady is anything but consistent. However, he is averaging 10-6-5 over his last five games, while getting 32.8 minutes per game. Make the most of it while you can. ... Gordon is coming off a pair of strong games with 15-plus points against the Magic and Nuggets, but remains highly erratic in the big picture. Start him only if you need a fill in. ... Hamilton has not played in any of the team's last nine games and there seems to be no plan to get him back in the rotation. It appears only a trade can save his Fantasy appeal at this point.

Golden State Warriors
Schedule: MIL, CHI
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Monta Ellis, David Lee, Stephen Curry
Toss Ups: Dorell Wright
Bad Plays: Andris Biedrins, Reggie Williams, Ekpe Udoh
Notes: The Warriors are one of just four teams to play just two games in Week 15. Both games come against teams that allow fewer than 100 points per game. Expect lower volumes than usual. ...Start Ellis, Lee, Curry and Wright in cumulative formats despite an expected drop in volume this week, but you will have to weigh your options carefully in cumulative formats. Ellis, Lee and Curry remain viable options, but it all depends on your alternatives.

Houston Rockets
Schedule: @LAL, @UTA, MEM
Injury Report: Brad Miller (knee/day-to-day), Yao Ming (ankle/out for the season)
Good Plays: Luis Scola, Kevin Martin
Toss Ups: Kyle Lowry, Aaron Brooks, Shane Battier, Chuck Hayes
Bad Plays: Brad Miller, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, Courtney Lee, Terrence Williams, Patrick Patterson
Notes: Brooks has yet to prove consistently reliable since returning from his ankle injury, but he is getting close, scoring 15-plus in back-to-back games against the Timberwolves and Clippers. Higher-volume games certainly helped, though, and Brooks remains merely a tentative low-end play until he can string together a few more positive performances. ... With Brooks still not completely 100 percent, Lowry has remained viable, averaging a 14-6-3 stat line over his last five games. He continues to be a ticking time bomb in Fantasy, as his production stands to decrease once Brooks is ready to take on more. Make the most of his current situation while it lasts. ... Battier is averaging 11.8 points and 5.6 rebounds over his last five games with healthy contributions in 3-point shooting. ... With Miller banged up, Hayes has seen an increase in playing time. It has allowed him to average 9.0 rebounds to go with 8.4 points, 4.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks over his last five games. Keep him in mind in deeper leagues -- especially for category play.

Indiana Pacers
Schedule: TOR, @CLE, POR, @NJ
Injury Report: Brandon Rush (ankle/mid-February)
Good Plays: Danny Granger
Toss Ups: Darren Collison, Roy Hibbert, Mike Dunleavy
Bad Plays: Tyler Hansbrough, Jeff Foster, Paul George, Josh McRoberts, T.J. Ford
Notes: Expect Collison to exploit high-volume matchups against the Raptors and Cavaliers, adding to his appeal in a four-game week and perhaps boosting his averages for average-based leagues. ... Rush is expected to miss a couple of weeks with an ankle injury, possibly creating an increase in playing time and shot volume for Dunleavy. ... Hibbert's playing time is down, with the struggling big man averaging just 19.5 minutes over his last five games. Favorable matchups and all, he simply cannot be trusted at this time.

L.A. Clippers
Schedule: MIL, CHI, @ATL, @MIA
Injury Report: Craig Smith (back/day-to-day), Chris Kaman (ankle/out indefinitely), Eric Gordon (wrist/mid-February)
Good Plays: Blake Griffin, Baron Davis
Toss Ups: DeAndre Jordan, Randy Foye, Ryan Gomes
Bad Plays: Eric Bledsoe, Al-Farouq Aminu, Rasual Butler
Notes: This week, it was revealed Kaman is dealing with a bone bruise and not just an ankle sprain as had been initially diagnosed. He hopes to be able to get back to practice soon, but is not expected to play in the next week. ... Gordon has been ruled out for the next 3-4 weeks with a fracture in his wrist. Foye has taken his spot in the starting lineup and the early results have been promising. He scored 15 points on Jan. 25 at Dallas with 20 points the following night in Houston. ... Quietly, Gomes is averaging an adequate 10.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 3-pointers made over his last five games. He could see an indirect boost to his shot volume with Gordon out. ... Davis has attempted at least 15 shots in the first two games without Gordon in the lineup. Expect his shot volume to increase over the next few scoring periods.

L.A. Lakers
Schedule: HOU, SA, @NO
Injury Report: Matt Barnes (knee/March)
Good Plays: Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum
Toss Ups: Ron Artest
Bad Plays: Shannon Brown, Steve Blake, Derek Fisher
Notes: Bynum and all, Odom is averaging 16.2 points and 8.2 rebounds over his last five games and has not seen a significant decrease in numbers. ... Fantasy owners have been slow to react to Bynum's return, activating him in only 61 percent of CBSSports.com leagues. However, he is averaging 14.8 points and 9.6 rebounds over his last five games to go with two blocks. ... Artest continues to put up the occasional useful stat line, but the overall body of work has been highly unproductive from a Fantasy standpoint. The defensive specialist is averaging just 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 asstists over his last five contests.

Memphis Grizzlies
Schedule: ORL, @MIN, CLE, @HOU
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol
Toss Ups: Mike Conley
Bad Plays: Darrell Arthur, Tony Allen, Xavier Henry, Greivis Vasquez, Hasheem Thabeet
Notes: The Grizzlies begin the week with a tough low-volume matchup against the Magic, but the remainder of the week should yield high-volume numbers. The Timberwolves, Cavaliers and Rockets allow an average of 106.2 points per game. ... Expect the favorable matchups to provide a nice boost to Conley, who is averaging a very useful 15-4-4 over his last five games. .... Mayo will be serving a suspension for 10 games after testing positive for a banned substance, allowing players like Allen and Henry to step up. However, they will be looking at inconsistent production and will only be suitable as stopgap measures for deep leagues. Use the weekend to determine if someone is worth plugging in for Week 15 to take advantage of the matchups.

Miami Heat
Schedule: CLE, @ORL, @CHA, LAC
Injury Report: Dwyane Wade (knee, migraine/day-to-day), Chris Bosh (ankle/out indefinitely), Eddie House (ankle/day-to-day), Udonis Haslem (foot/March)
Good Plays: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade
Toss Ups: Chris Bosh, Mike Miller, Mario Chalmers
Bad Plays: James Jones, Eddie House, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Joel Anthony, Carlos Arroyo
Notes: Wade has been dealing with lingering soreness in his knee and a migraine, but he should be a safe start for Week 15 as long as there are no setbacks over the weekend. ... Bosh will not play until he can prove he can practice at full speed, according to coach Erik Spoelstra. He is unlikely to return until the Feb. 3 game in Orlando and will be a highly risky play for Week 15. We suggest healthy alternatives where possible, though he can be a viable start in some average-based leagues. ... The Heat have promoted Chalmers to a starting role at point guard. He will not provide significant totals in any particular category, but he can bring a little bit of everything. Over his last five games, he has averaged 11.2 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 2.8 3-pointers made. ... Miller's 32-3-10 outburst on Jan. 22 vs. Toronto has gained him a lot of attention in Fantasy, but that game came with no Bosh or Wade due to injuries. Expect him to take on a more significant role going forward, possibly averaging somewhere in the neighborhood of 13-4-4 with premium 3-point shooting under normal circumstances. Use the remainder of Week 14 to determine where he fits in for now. ... House has quietly averaged 13.3 points over his last four games, thanks partly to all the team's injury troubles. He has been lighting it up from beyond the arc, shooting 13 of 23 from 3-point range in those games. His ankle injury is considered to be minor.

Milwaukee Bucks
Schedule: @LAC, @PHO, @GS, DET
Injury Report: Brandon Jennings (foot/day-to-day), John Salmons (hip/day-to-day), Chris Douglas-Roberts (wrist/day-to-day), Drew Gooden (foot/day-to-day), Michael Redd (knee/March)
Good Plays: Andrew Bogut
Toss Ups: Brandon Jennings, Keyon Dooling, Earl Boykins, John Salmons, Corey Maggette, Carlos Delfino, Ersan Ilyasova
Bad Plays: Drew Gooden, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Larry Sanders
Notes: The Bucks are scheduled for a favorable four-game slate with three games against teams that allow over 100 points per game. ... The Bucks could get Jennings back from a lengthy absence as soon as the weekend. He has not played since Dec. 20 due to a broken bone in his left foot, so there could be restrictions initially. If he proves he can play a fair amount over the weekend, consider him a solid play given the favorable matchups. ... Jennings' return stands to take a hit out of the production of Dooling and Boykins. Unless it becomes clear that Jennings will be playing with significant restrictions (something we doubt will happen), both players should be avoided. ... Salmons could return over the weekend as well after missing five games with a hip injury. Use the weekend to determine if he is healthy enough to activate. ... As players like Jennings, Salmons and Delfino get healthier, expect Maggette's numbers to begin to decline. However, given the favorable matchups we still view Maggette as a decent low-end play in the short term. ... Delfino managed a 15-4-5 stat line on Jan. 26 vs. Atlanta in a sign he may be ready to activate again in larger leagues. ... Ilyasova has been highly inconsistent over the last two weeks. Even with the matchups, he should only be trusted as a last-ditch start for deeper leagues.

Minnesota Timberwolves
Schedule: MEM, @TOR, DEN
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Kevin Love, Michael Beasley
Toss Ups: Luke Ridnour, Darko Milicic, Corey Brewer
Bad Plays: Wesley Johnson, Jonny Flynn, Martell Webster, Sebastian Telfair, Anthony Tolliver
Notes: In four games since returning from a sprained ankle, Beasley has proven healthy. He has averaged a solid 20-4-5 stat line in those games. ... Expect Ridnour to make the most of high-volume matchups against Toronto and Denver. Both teams allow over 104 points per game. ... Milicic is playing through ankle pain, limiting his production over the last week. At less than 100 percent and facing a three-game slate, you may want to consider other options this week. ... Brewer is averaging 2.4 steals per game and is a solid way of making up ground in that category. However, he is not going to help you much outside of that.

New Jersey Nets
Schedule: DEN, PHI, @DET, IND
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Brook Lopez, Devin Harris
Toss Ups: Kris Humphries, Derrick Favors, Anthony Morrow
Bad Plays: Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, Travis Outlaw, Troy Murphy
Notes: Humphries continues to chug along, averaging a double-double (12.2 points and 10.2 rebounds) in January. As long as his playing time remains in the 30-minute range, he should remain consistent. ... Favors has shown some flashes of potential, but the rookie remains far too raw to trust in any seasonal format. He is averaging just 7.2 points and 6.2 rebounds over his last five games. ... Morrow has begun to take on a bigger role after returning from his injury, scoring 16 and 19 this week against the Cavaliers and Grizzlies. Expect his playing time to continue to rise, making him worth a look in leagues where his scoring and 3-point shooting could be an asset.

New Orleans Hornets
Schedule: WAS, @OKC, LAL
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Chris Paul, David West, Emeka Okafor
Toss Ups: Trevor Ariza
Bad Plays: Marco Belinelli, Marcus Thornton, Jarrett Jack, Willie Green
Notes: Ariza is averaging 37.3 minutes per game over his last four appearances, managing 13.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 steals. He is useful in larger formats -- especially in category play. ... The shooting guard position continues to be a mess, with a mixture of Belinelli and Thornton leading to weak, inconsistent totals. Of the two, Thornton has been the slightly more appealing option for deeper leagues of late.

New York Knicks
Schedule: DAL, @PHI, PHI
Injury Report: Kelenna Azubuike (knee/out indefinitely), Eddy Curry (hamstring/out indefinitely)
Good Plays: Amar'e Stoudemire, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler
Toss Ups: Danilo Gallinari, Landry Fields
Bad Plays: Toney Douglas, Ronny Turiaf, Anthony Randolph, Timofey Mozgov, Bill Walker, Shawne Williams
Notes: Gallinari appears to be back on track, averaging 16.8 points over his last five games, but his shot from beyond the arc has not been there. He has shot just 6 of 20 from 3-point range in that span. ... Fields' production is down across the board. His scoring, already inconsistent, remains pedestrian. Now, however, his rebounding has dropped as well. He has averaged just 5.2 rebounds over his last five and should be reserved until he can get going again.

Oklahoma City Thunder
Schedule: NO, @PHO, @UTA
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook
Toss Ups: Jeff Green, Serge Ibaka, James Harden
Bad Plays: Nenad Krstic, Thabo Sefolosha, Nick Collison, Cole Aldrich
Notes: Green looks to be getting back on track with solid games this week at the Hornets and Timberwolves. He scored 19 points in each game with good rebounding totals, leading to more playing time. He dropped 19-and-7 on a Hornets team he will face again in Week 15. ... Green's reemergence has come at the expense of Ibaka's numbers. Be careful starting him given the recent turnaround -- especially with a three-game week. ... Harden has scored in double figures just once in his last nine games. Avoid him.

Orlando Magic
Schedule: @MEM, MIA, @WAS, @BOS
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Dwight Howard, Jason Richardson
Toss Ups: Hedo Turkoglu, Ryan Anderson, Brandon Bass, Jameer Nelson, Gilbert Arenas
Bad Plays: J.J. Redick, Chris Duhon, Quentin Richardson
Notes: Turkoglu has averaged 12.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists over his last five games, maintaining solid Fantasy appeal even amid some offensive stuggles. ... We anticipate favorable results inside for both Bass and Anderson against the Grizzlies, Heat and Wizards, making for a productive week against teams that struggle to defend inside. ... Arenas is averaging just a 6-4-3 stat line over his last five games, while playing less than 20 minutes. ... Nelson is averaging 29.6 minutes during the same span with a 12-6-3 stat line. That seems to be about what he can manage since Arenas came to Orlando.

Philadelphia 76ers
Schedule: @NJ, NY, @NY
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand, Jrue Holiday
Toss Ups: Lou Williams, Thaddeus Young
Bad Plays: Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes, Jodie Meeks, Andres Nocioni, Marreese Speights
Notes: Williams continues to surge, averaging a 16-4-4 stat line over his last five games. He can chip in decent numbers across the board, including solid 3-point shooting. ... Expect Young to see a chance for inflated numbers in scoring against the Knicks. He is averaging 14.8 points and 5.6 rebounds with 1.6 blocks over his last five.

Phoenix Suns
Schedule: MIL, OKC
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Good Plays: Steve Nash
Toss Ups: Vince Carter, Channing Frye, Grant Hill, Marcin Gortat
Bad Plays: Jared Dudley, Robin Lopez, Goran Dragic, Hakim Warrick, Josh Childress, Mickeal Pietrus
Notes: The Suns are one of four teams to play just two games in Week 15. ... Nash is the only Suns player that should be considered in cumulative formats this week. ... Carter, Frye, Hill and Gortat are viable plays in average-based leagues only this week. ... Carter dealt with some swelling in his knee this past week that has subsided. He looked much better on Jan. 26 vs. Charlotte, scoring 22 points, and seems like a safe play in average-based leagues for Week 15.

Portland Trail Blazers
Schedule: SA, @DEN, @IND, @CLE
Injury Report: Marcus Camby (knee/early February), Brandon Roy (knee/out indefinitely), Greg Oden (knee/out for the season)
Good Plays: LaMarcus Aldridge
Toss Ups: Andre Miller, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, Rudy Fernandez
Bad Plays: Joel Przybilla, Dante Cunningham, Patrick Mills
Notes: The injuries to Aldridge and Matthews are considered minor and each player should be a safe play for Week 15. They both played Thursday night in a loss to Boston. ... Camby does not have a concrete timetable for a return, but he does appear to be getting close. He may be ready to activate by Week 16. ... Consider Miller and Matthews excellent plays in any league given a four-game slate that includes high-volume matchups against the Nuggets and Cavaliers. ... Batum has quietly become a reliable starter for deep leagues, consistently producing mid-teens scoring, about six rebounds per game and excellent 3-point shooting. ... Rudy Fernandez is averaging around four rebounds and four assists to go with his usual quality production in steals (2.4) and 3-point shooting over his last five games. He is a solid low-end play, especially in category leagues.

Sacramento Kings
Schedule: BOS, SA
Injury Report: Francisco Garcia (calf/early February)
Good Plays: No must-starts this week.
Toss Ups: Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins, Beno Udrih, Carl Landry, Jason Thompson
Bad Plays: Samuel Dalembert, Omri Casspi, Francisco Garcia, Donte Greene
Notes: The Kings are one of four teams to play just two games in Week 15. Of those teams, they have the worst head-to-head matchups with two games against teams that allow below 100 points per game. ... Evans' lingering foot issue has not slowed him much at all recently. He is averaging a 22-5-5 stat line over his last five with 2.4 steals -- all while averaging over 40 minutes per game. He is a viable play in deeper cumulative leagues, though you'll have to weigh your options carefully. ... Udrih and Cousins have been mostly steady and are worthy of activating in average-based leagues this week. Reserve them in daily leagues. ... Landry and Thompson continue to be inconsistent and should be avoided this week, regardless of format, given the tough matchups.

Good Plays: Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker
Toss Ups: Tim Duncan, DeJuan Blair, Richard Jefferson, George Hill
Bad Plays: Matt Bonner, Gary Neal, Antonio McDyess, Tiago Splitter
Notes: A warning to Duncan owners for Week 15. The Spurs play just three games and two come in a back-to-back sets. Duncan may be limited on the back end of that set. ... Blair has been held to just 5.0 points and 6.3 rebounds over his last five games. ... Jefferson has scored in double figures just twice in his last eight games. Avoid him. ... Hill can provide cheap double-digit scoring but is only a last-ditch stopgap for deeper leagues right now.

Toronto Raptors
Schedule: @IND, @ATL, MIN
Injury Report: Reggie Evans (foot/mid-February), Leandro Barbosa (hamstring/early February), Linas Kleiza (knee/early February)
Good Plays: Andrea Bargnani, Jose Calderon, DeMar DeRozan
Toss Ups: Amir Johnson
Bad Plays: Ed Davis, Reggie Evans, Leandro Barbosa, Linas Kleiza, Jerryd Bayless, Sonny Weems, Julian Wright
Notes: Evans is on track for a return some time around the All-Star break. ... In Evans' absence, Johnson has averaged nearly 12 points and six rebounds over his last five games, but is better suited for average-based play this week given a three-game slate. ... DeRozan has attempted 19.6 shots per contest over his last five games, leading to a 25.6 scoring average. He is also a good source for steals and free-throw percentage.

Utah Jazz
Schedule: CHA, HOU, @DEN, OKC
Injury Report: Deron Williams (wrist/day-to-day), Paul Millsap (thumb/day-to-day), Raja Bell (neck, shoulder/day-to-day)
Good Plays: Deron Williams, Al Jefferson
Toss Ups: Paul Millsap, Andrei Kirilenko, C.J. Miles
Bad Plays: Mehmet Okur, Raja Bell, Gordon Hayward
Notes: The Jazz have three high-volume matchups in a four-game week. The Rockets, Nuggets and Thunder each allow over 100 points per game. ... The Jazz continue to bounce between Kirilenko and Miles, but it appears coach Jerry Sloan has settled on a return to Kirilenko at the three. ... Kirilenko is averaging a 12-6-2 stat line with 1.6 steals over his last five. ... Miles is averaging just 11.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists, but is providing good numbers in steals and could be a sleeper for some inflated totals in Week 15 given the matchups. Consider him a decent stopgap measure off the waiver wire in a pinch.

Washington Wizards
Schedule: @DAL, @NO, ORL, ATL
Injury Report: JaVale McGee (flu/day-to-day), Kirk Hinrich (elbow/day-to-day), Josh Howard (knee/out until at least Jan. 31)
Good Plays: John Wall, Andray Blatche, Nick Young
Toss Ups: Rashard Lewis, JaVale McGee
Bad Plays: Kirk Hinrich, Al Thornton, Josh Howard, Yi Jianlian
Notes: All four of Washington's Week 15 opponents allow fewer than 100 points per game. ... McGee came down with the flu this week but should be a safe play for Week 15 in deeper leagues. He is averaging 10.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks over his last five. ... Lewis is averaging 14.0 points and 6.8 rebounds over his last five games, but is just 3 of 19 from beyond the arc. He continues to see around 35 minutes per game and makes for a decent play in most formats.
