NBA VALUE METER - WEEK 16 by Eric Johnson, RotoWire Writer This is our weekly cheat sheet based on our player's projected output and number of games. It assumes an eight-category roto style league with the following categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, three-pointers made, free-throw percentage and field-goal percentage.
These are my rankings. They do not necessarily correspond with the RotoWire cheat sheet or our projections for the season. I use both as a rough guide, but I primarily factor in number of games played for the week, current player trends and pertinent information about the team (injuries, time share situations, etc). The Value Meter takes into account games played Monday through Saturday. We will try to update the meter with any breaking news that happens on Sunday, but in most cases, any injuries, lineup changes, etc. that happen on Sunday won't be accounted for on the Value Meter until the following week.
Week 16: February 7th - February 13th
Five Games: NONE Four Games: CHA, CLE, DAL, DEN, DET, GSW, IND, LAC, LAL, MEM, MIL, MIN, NO, ORL, PHI, PHO, SAS, SAC, TOR Three Games: BOS, CHI, HOU, MIA, NJ, NYK, OKC, POR, UTA, WAS Two Games: ATL One Game: NONE = new to Value Meter
Point Guards Rank Player Eligible Team Games Comment 1 Chris Paul [PG] NO 4 2 Stephen Curry [PG,SG] GSW 4 Averaging 22.6 points, 6.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 2.4 threes over last five games. 3 Tyreke Evans [PG,SG] SAC 4
