Fantasy Basketball - Weekly Who To Start: Week Seventeen

I'll meet you here every week to give you my fantasy suggestions for your upcoming matchup in fantasy basketball land. Players are ranked and evaluated by a few factors - recent performance trends, health, schedule, and my gut instinct. Of course, feel free to use yours.

Please note that I understand that LeBron James is one of the best players in the game right now. However, if he only has two games for the week and someone like Rashard Lewis has four, well, I'm going to rank Lewis higher than James for the week. Understood? Good, let's check out the latest position rankings!
