*All stats heading into play Saturday

Atlanta Hawks
Schedule: Dec. 29 vs. DEN; Dec. 30 at IND; Jan. 2 at NJ; Jan. 3 vs. HOU
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford, Mike Bibby
Tough Call: It's a four-game scoring period with favorable matchups against Indiana and New Jersey. That means Marvin Williams is a good play in most formats this week. Maurice Evans, and Ronald Murray are not options at this time.
One Week Boom: Marvin Williams

Boston Celtics
Schedule: Dec. 30 at POR; Jan. 2 vs. WAS; Jan. 4 at NY
Injury Report: Kendrick Perkins (shoulder/day-to-day); Perkins was expected back over the weekend and should be a safe play for Week 10 in terms of health.
Slam Dunk: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen
Tough Call: The C's face very favorable matchups against the Fantasy-friendly Wizards and Knicks. That should mean at least a couple of 100-point games to get Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins a chance for solid weeks in any format. Consider Rondo a No. 2 guard option this week and Perkins has some appeal in leagues of 12-plus teams as a No. 2 center.
One Week Boom: Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins

Charlotte Bobcats
Schedule: Dec. 30 vs. NY; Jan. 2 at MIL; Jan. 3 vs. MIL
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Emeka Okafor, Gerald Wallace
Tough Call: The matchups against New York and Milwaukee should provide adequate scoring totals for the Bobcats. Boris Diaw is worth using as a No. 3 forward even in cumulative-scoring formats the way he's fit into the rotation since the trade. View Raymond Felton as a No. 3 or 4 guard this week. Raja Bell and D.J. Augustin seem to be cutting into each other's value of late and should be reserved for now.
One Week Boom: Boris Diaw

Chicago Bulls
Schedule: Dec. 29 at NJ; Dec. 31 vs. ORL; Jan. 2 at CLE; Jan. 3 vs. MIN
Injury Report: Luol Deng (ankle/could miss a week); Coach Vinny Del Negro said Saturday that he hopes Deng will only miss a week. That means that Fantasy owners should not count on his services for Week 10. Drew Gooden (ankle/day-to-day); Gooden has missed four games and will be a bit of an injury risk for the upcoming scoring period. The Bulls are hoping to get him back Monday in New Jersey. He is likely to be available for at least three of the four games, but is still an injury risk.
Slam Dunk: Ben Gordon, Derrick Rose
Tough Call: Leave Deng reserved in all leagues due to the injury. Thabo Sefolosha is getting starts in his place, but is not a recommended play. Larry Hughes and Andres Nocioni should get the Fantasy boost in his absence and are solid low-end starters this week due to the four-game scoring period with good matchups against New Jersey and Minnesota, both teams allowing over 100 points per game. Consider Gooden worth the gamble in leagues where he is eligible at center to be used as a No. 2 center if need be.
One Week Boom: Larry Hughes, Andres Nocioni

Cleveland Cavaliers
Schedule: Dec. 30 at MIA; Jan. 2 vs. CHI; Jan. 4 at WAS
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: LeBron James
Tough Call: The Cavs have two good matchups against the Bulls and Wizards, both teams that allow over 100 points per game. Mo Williams should be a solid play even in cumulative-scoring formats as a result. Delonte West has been on fire lately and is a good option in any league. Zydrunas Ilgauskas does not appear to be 100 percent yet and should be starting only in large leagues as a low-end No. 2 center until he can prove productive and healthy again. Anderson Varejao has some appeal in very deep leagues, but will lose minutes and shot attempts as Big Z gets back to full strength. Leave Ben Wallace and Daniel Gibson reserved in all formats.
One Week Boom: Mo Williams, Delonte West

Dallas Mavericks
Schedule: Dec. 30 vs. MIN; Jan. 2 vs. PHI; Jan. 4 at MEM
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry
Tough Call: Dirk Nowitzki could possibly be facing a suspension for hitting Utah's Matt Harpring in the face on Friday night, which led to an ejection. That may or may not come down from the league on Monday. Keep that in mind. Josh Howard does not yet appear to be 100 percent recovered from his ankle injury. His rebounds are down, but he is still scoring around 15 points per game and should start in most leagues. He'll get back to 100 percent soon. Erick Dampier and Jose Juan Barea are very low-end options who are best kept reserved in most leagues.
One Week Boom: Josh Howard

Denver Nuggets
Schedule: Dec. 29 at ATL; Dec. 31 at TOR; Jan. 2 at OKC, Jan. 3 vs. NO
Injury Report: Carmelo Anthony (elbow/day-to-day); Anthony was expected to be ready for Sunday's game in New York and we anticipate him being a safe play for Week 10.
Slam Dunk: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups
Tough Call: The four-game slate makes Nene a great option in any cumulative scoring format. He's been a quality No. 2 center in any league so far. J.R. Smith can be used as a No. 3 guard for any format. Kenyon Martin is a No. 3 or 4 forward for leagues of 12-plus teams.
One Week Boom: J.R. Smith

Detroit Pistons
Schedule: Dec. 29 vs. ORL; Dec. 31 vs. NJ; Jan. 2 vs. SAC; Jan. 4 at LAC
Injury Report: Richard Hamilton (groin/day-to-day); Hamilton has been dealing with the groin injury for a while, but tweaked it further Thursday against Oklahoma City. He was forced to sit out Saturday and will be an injury risk for the upcoming scoring period. He could miss another game or two.
Slam Dunk: Allen Iverson
Tough Call: With Hamilton sidelined, Rodney Stuckey could take on a bigger scoring role in the back court. His combination of scoring and assists makes him a solid No. 2 or 3 option in any league right now. The four-game slate certainly helps in cumulative formats. Tayshaun Prince should also start in any league this week. Rasheed Wallace has good appeal this week as a No. 2 center. The matchups against New Jersey, Sacramento and the L.A. Clippers certainly helps matters as they all allow over 100 points per game.
One Week Bust: Rodney Stuckey, Tayshaun Prince, Rasheed Wallace

Golden State Warriors
Schedule: Dec. 29 vs. TOR; Dec. 31 at OKC; Jan. 2 at MIN
Injury Report: Jamal Crawford (groin/day-to-day); Crawford has been out since Dec. 23 in Miami. He was hoping to play Sunday in Los Angeles and should be a safe play for Week 10. Corey Maggette (hamstring/out indefinitely); Maggette is slowly working his way back, but is going to need some more practices before he can appear in a game. He may play at some point in the scoring period, but is unlikely to offer Fantasy owners a full week. Monta Ellis (ankle/out indefinitely); Ellis is making very slow progress since returning to limited practice and may not be back for another couple of weeks at the very least. Leave him stashed away.
Slam Dunk: Andris Biedrins
Tough Call: As mentioned above, Crawford should be back by Monday's game, but Fantasy owners should keep tabs on him through lineup deadlines. Stephen Jackson is back from his hand injury and does not look like he missed a beat. Get him active in all leagues again. With Maggette out, Kelenna Azubuike and Marco Belinelli retain low-end appeal for larger leagues as stopgaps. The Warriors have good matchups this week against the Thunder and Timberwolves, who both allow over 100 points per game.
One Week Boom: Stephen Jackson

Houston Rockets
Schedule: Dec. 29 vs. WAS; Dec. 31 vs. MIL; Jan. 2 at TOR; Jan. 3 at ATL
Injury Report: Tracy McGrady (knee/day-to-day); T-Mac is dealing with continued soreness in his left knee, the same knee he had surgery on this offseason. He is going to be a possible last-minute scratch for the remainder of the season, but should be a safe play in Week 10.
Slam Dunk: Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Ron Artest
Tough Call: Luis Scola and Rafer Alston are more appealing than normal this week in cumulative scoring periods due to the four-game slate. The matchups against Washington and Toronto make them decent low-end starts even in larger average-based formats this week. Shane Battier and Aaron Brooks are still a real stretch.
One Week Boom: Luis Scola, Rafer Alston

Indiana Pacers
Schedule: Dec. 30 vs. ATL; Jan. 2 at NY; Jan. 3 vs. SAC
Injury Report: Danny Granger (concussion/day-to-day); Granger suffered the concussion on Friday and could need a game or two to recover. He will be an injury risk for Week 10, but is a player that is certainly worth the gamble. He likely will play at some point in the week and should start in all average-based leagues. Mike Dunleavy (knee/out indefinitely); Dunleavy's return has yet to be determined and Fantasy owners will have to keep waiting to activate him.
Slam Dunk: None
Tough Calls: The Pacers have two very favorable matchups against the Knicks and Kings, two of the teams that allow the most points in the NBA. Troy Murphy should be activated now that he is back from his four-game absence due to the flu. Marquis Daniels is also back and is a great play this week in any format. T.J. Ford is not 100 percent and should be saved for larger leagues this week. He has been dealing with back spasms. Rasho Nesterovic has some appeal as a low-end No. 2 center in deeper average-based leagues this week. Jeff Foster should be reserved in most formats. Jarrett Jack is back to being a limited option off the bench now that Ford is back.
One Week Boom: Marquis Daniels

Los Angeles Clippers
Schedule: Dec. 30 at SAC; Dec. 31 vs. PHI; Jan. 2 at PHO; Jan. 4 vs. DET
Injury Report: Zach Randolph (knee/day-to-day); X-rays on Randolph's knee were negative and he should be able to play once the swelling goes down. With a four-game slate, he should be a safe play. Marcus Camby (personal/day-to-day); Camby had to leave the team due to a death in his family. He should be back by Sunday and will be a safe play in Week 10. Chris Kaman (foot/out until at least late December); Kaman's injury continues to linger and he is likely going to return sometime around New Year's Day. He should be reserved for at least one more Fantasy week.
Slam Dunk: Zach Randolph, Baron Davis, Marcus Camby
Tough Call: Get Al Thornton active as a No. 3 or 4 forward in leagues of 12-plus teams. Eric Gordon is also a solid option in any league this week -- especially cumulative formats.
One Week Boom: Al Thornton

Los Angeles Lakers
Schedule: Jan. 2 vs. UTA; Jan. 4 vs. POR
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol
Tough Call: The Lakers are one of two two-game teams in Week 10. Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol do enough to start in larger cumulative formats, but the rest of the Lakers should be reserved in those leagues. Bynum remains a useful start only in average-based leagues this week.
One Week Bust: Andrew Bynum

Memphis Grizzlies
Schedule: Dec. 29 at MIN; Dec. 30 vs. PHO; Jan. 2 vs. SA; Jan. 4 vs. DAL
Injury Report: Darko Milicic (knuckle/out until at least late January); With Darko out, Marc Gasol should get more minutes and looks in the offense.
Slam Dunk: Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo
Tough Call: With the four game slate, which includes matchups against two teams that allow over 100-plus points, think about taking a chance on Hakim Warrick. He has seen a recent resurgence and the loss of Milicic should also help his situation. He's a real sleeper the rest of the way after getting off to a slow start this season. Gasol is also a nice play as a No. 2 center this week. Mike Conley has some low-end appeal for teams of 12-plus teams as a possible stopgap due to the favorable matchups this week.
One Week Boom: Hakim Warrick, Marc Gasol

Miami Heat
Schedule: Dec. 30 vs. CLE; Jan. 2 at ORL; Jan. 3 vs. NJ
Injury Report: No significant injuries
Slam Dunk: Dwyane Wade
Tough Call: The Heat have just three games in Week 10 and two of the matchups are against teams that allow under 94 points per game. Think about reserving Shawn Marion this week in cumulative-scoring matchups and smaller average-based formats. He is not the box-score stuffing Marion of old and the matchups don't help. The same goes for Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem and Mario Chalmers. They are still useful low-end starters in Fantasy, but there will be better opportunities ahead to use them.
One Week Bust: Shawn Marion

Milwaukee Bucks
Schedule: Dec. 30 at SA; Dec. 31 at HOU; Jan. 2 vs. CHA; Jan. 3 at CHA
Injury Report: Charlie Bell (knee/day-to-day); Even when healthy, Bell is seeing a limited role and should not be active in Fantasy at the moment.
Slam Dunk: Andrew Bogut, Michael Redd
Tough Call: The Bucks have four very tough matchups this week against teams that allow under 94 points per game. This should not be a high-scoring week and the Bucks could be held under 100 points all week. Richard Jefferson should be viewed as no more than a No. 3 or 4 option this week and may be reserved in smaller average-based leagues. Charlie Villanueva, Luke Ridnour and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute should be reserved in most formats if possible this week.
One Week Bust: Richard Jefferson

Minnesota Timberwolves
Schedule: Dec. 29 vs. MEM; Dec. 30 at DAL; Jan. 2 vs. GS; Jan. 3 at CHI
Injury Report: Mike Miller (ankle/day-to-day); Miller is dealing with a sprain and will be an injury risk for the upcoming scoring period. Miller has not been productive enough this season to warrant taking any kind of injury gamble on.
Slam Dunk: Al Jefferson
Tough Call: Randy Foye is on a nice hot streak and should start in any type of Fantasy league this week thanks to some nice matchups against the Grizzlies, Warriors and Bulls. Sebastian Telfair has also seen a slight increase in production over his last few games, but is better saved as a stopgap for leagues of 12-plus teams where you can start five guards. Kevin Ollie has been getting the starts, but has no real Fantasy value. Kevin Love and Craig Smith remain too erratic to trust in Fantasy even with the good matchups this week.
One Week Boom: Randy Foye

New Jersey Nets
Schedule: Dec. 29 vs. CHI; Dec. 31 at DET; Jan. 2 vs. ATL; Jan. 3 at MIA
Injury Report: None
Slam Dunk: Vince Carter, Devin Harris
Tough Call: With the four-game schedule, rookie Brook Lopez warrants starting as a No. 2 center in leagues of 12-plus teams this week. That's in cumulative and average-based formats.Yi Jianlian remains too erratic to trust in most Fantasy leagues.
One Week Boom: Brook Lopez

New Orleans Hornets
Schedule: Dec. 30 vs. WAS; Jan. 2 at POR; Jan. 3 at DEN
Injury Report: Peja Stojakovic (back/day-to-day); He has missed over a week with a lingering back injury, but could be back for Tuesday's game against Washington. He's had plenty of time to let that sore back rest and should return in Week 10.
Slam Dunk: Chris Paul, David West
Tough Call: Tyson Chandler is finally starting to get going after his slow start and is worth using as a No. 2 center in leagues of 12-plus teams again. Leave James Posey reserved.
One Week Boom: Tyson Chandler

New York Knicks
Schedule: Dec. 30 at CHA; Jan. 2 vs. IND; Jan. 4 vs. BOS
Injury Report: Quentin Richardson (ankle/day-to-day); Richardson is dealing with a sprain.With the three game slate in Week 10, consider Richardson a very risky play.
Slam Dunk: David Lee, Al Harrington
Tough Call: For some reason, Nate Robinson is only active in 56 percent of CBSSports.com leagues. Considering he is averaging a Kobe Bryant-like 26-6-4 line over his last five games, that's should not be. Even with the three-game slate, Robinson should start in most cumulative formats. Start Chris Duhon and Wilson Chandler in average-based leagues and cumulative leagues of 12-plus teams this week.
One Week Boom: Nate Robinson

Oklahoma City Thunder
Schedule: Dec. 29 vs. PHO; Dec. 31 vs. GS; Jan. 2 vs. DEN
Injury Report: Nick Collison (thumb/day-to-day); Collison could be forced to miss a couple more games and remains too risky to start in most leagues.
Slam Dunk: Kevin Durant
Tough Call: The Thunder have just three games this week, but two of the matchups come against teams that allow 100-plus points per game. Jeff Green should start in any league of 12-plus teams in any type of scoring system. Russell Westbrook is a decent No. 4 guard this week and can be a No. 3 option in average-based formats.
One Week Boom: Jeff Green

Orlando Magic
Schedule: Dec. 29 at DET; Dec. 31 at CHI; Jan. 2 vs. MIA; Jan. 4 at TOR
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, Hedo Turkoglu, Jameer Nelson
Tough Call: Mickael Pietrus has some appeal as a possible low-end stopgap for deeper formats this week due to the four-game slate. Three of the four matchups are against teams that allow under 100-plus points, but the matchup against Chicago is appealing. He is a bit of a stretch, but can be useful in a pinch as a player that can score in double figures.
One Week Boom: Mickael Pietrus

Philadelphia 76ers
Schedule: Dec. 29 at UTA; Dec. 31 at LAC; Jan. 2 at DAL; Jan. 3 at SA
Injury Report: Elton Brand (shoulder/out until mid-January); Brand is still at least a couple of weeks away from returning.
Slam Dunk: Andre Iguodala, Andre Miller
Tough Call: With Brand out, Thaddeus Young has a chance to step up his production. That has not happend on a large scale yet, but a four-game scoring period is a nice opportunity to take a chance on him in larger formats the same goes for Marreese Speights. Lou Williams and Willie Green have increased their production with Brand out. Williams has some appeal as a No. 3 or 4 option while Green is more of a last-minute option for very large formats. Samuel Dalembert is a useful option in category-based leagues for helps in rebounds and blocks.
One Week Bust: Thaddeus Young, Willie Green

Phoenix Suns
Schedule: Dec. 29 at OKC; Dec. 30 at MEM; Jan. 2 vs. LAC
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Amar'e Stoudemire, Steve Nash, Jason Richardson
Tough Call: Shaquille O'Neal had 23 points and 12 rebounds in his only game in Week 9 and is averaging 21 points and nearly 10 rebounds over his last four games. Start him in any format as a No. 2 center as long as he remains healthy. Matt Barnes, Grant Hill and Leandro Barbosa should be viewed as low-end stopgaps this week.
One Week Boom: Shaquille O'Neal

Portland Trail Blazers
Schedule: Dec. 30 vs. BOS; Jan. 2 vs. NO; Jan. 4 at LAL
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge
Tough Call: Greg Oden continues to be too spotty to trust in most Fantasy leagues. He is not someone who should be cut due to his high upside, but he should be reserved for now. The Trail Blazers have three tough matchups this week against top-five defensive teams, making Steve Blake, Rudy Fernandez and Travis Outlaw a tough sell this week.
One Week Bust: Steve Blake, Rudy Fernandez, Travis Outlaw

Sacramento Kings
Schedule: Dec. 30 vs. LAC; Jan. 2 at DET; Jan. 3 at IND
Injury Report: Kevin Martin (ankle/out indefinitely); The Kings still have no timetable for Martin's return, but it's safe to say he won't be back this scoring period. Keep him reserved.
Slam Dunk: John Salmons
Tough Call: Brad Miller is getting back to his old self after a slow start, averaging 12.0 points and 7.8 rebounds over his last five games. Get him back active as a No. 2 center in leagues of 12-plus teams. Spencer Hawes has seen limited production as a result of Miller's resurgence and should be stashed away for now. Save Francisco Garcia and Beno Udrih for larger average-based formats this week with the three-game slate.
One Week Boom: Brad Miller

San Antonio Spurs
Schedule: Dec. 30 vs. MIL; Jan. 2 at MEM; Jan. 3 vs. PHI
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili
Tough Call: Matt Bonner's recent upswing has turned into a bit of a slump over the last week. That makes him a player to be reserved in all formats until he can turn it around again. Despite Roger Mason Jr.'s Christmas Day heroics, he remains a very low-end Fantasy option.
One Week Bust: Matt Bonner, Roger Mason Jr.

Toronto Raptors
Schedule: Dec. 29 at GS; Dec. 31 vs. DEN; Jan. 2 vs. HOU; Jan. 4 vs. ORL
Injury Report: No significant injuries.
Slam Dunk: Chris Bosh, Jose Calderon, Jermaine O'Neal
Tough Call: The Raptors have a four-game slate this week, including one very Fantasy-friendly matchup in Golden State. Andrea Bargnani may be able to continue his recent success against the Warriors, but could struggle against tougher defensive teams the rest of the week. View him as a stopgap in larger cumulative formats. Keep Jamario Moon reserved.
One Week Boom: Andrea Bargnani

Utah Jazz
Schedule: Dec. 29 vs. PHI; Jan. 2 at LAL
Injury Report: Mehmet Okur (back/day-to-day); Okur rested his back in his last two games due to spasms. With the two game scoring period and the team playing on Monday, Okur is a real risky Fantasy option. Paul Millsap (knee/out until early January); Millsap will miss the next week to 10 days with a sprained knee. Carlos Boozer (quadriceps/out indefinitely); Boozer is still at least another week away from returning and should be reserved once more.
Slam Dunk: Deron Williams
Tough Call: With the limited two-game slate, Andrei Kirilenko and Ronnie Brown should be reserved in most formats. C.J. Miles and Kosta Koufos have gotten a Fantasy boost due to all the front-court injuries. Consider taking a flier on them in larger average-based formats if a replacement is needed in a pinch.
One Week Bust: Andrei Kirilenko

Washington Wizards
Schedule: Dec. 29 at HOU; Dec. 30 at NO; Jan. 2 at BOS; Jan. 4 vs. CLE
Injury Report: Caron Butler (ankle/day-to-day); Butler has missed his last two games, but is expected to return on Monday in Houston. He's a somewhat risky play this week, but is worth the gamble. Gilbert Arenas (knee/out until January); Arenas is not back in practice yet and is still at least another couple of weeks away.
Slam Dunk: Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler
Tough Call: Mike James has been a very steady Fantasy option since being promoted to the starting lineup and a four-game slate this week makes him a possible stopgap in larger cumulative formats. Fantasy owners should consider, however, that all four matchups come against top defensive teams. Andray Blatche is also a possible stopgap for deeper cumulative leagues, but should be reserved in average-based formats this week.
One Week Boom: Mike James
