NBA Weekly Player Rankings: The Black Mamba Strikes Again

Kobe Bryant's wrist injury isn't preventing him from blowing up on a nightly basis. He's averaging 43.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 threes and 2.2 steals over his last four games and is the top ranked shooting guard on this week's meter.
NBA Weekly Player Rankings: The Black Mamba Strikes Again

NBA VALUE METER - WEEK 4

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 4: January 16th - January 22nd

Six Games: NONE
Five Games: LAC
Four Games: ATL, BOS, CHA, CHI, CLE, DAL, DEN, DET, HOU, LAL, MEM, MIA, MIL, MIN, NJ, NO, NYK, ORL, PHI, POR, SAC, SAS, TOR, WAS
Three Games: GSW, IND, OKC, PHO, UTA
Two Games: NONE
One Game: NONE
