This season's compressed schedule is extra-tough on players dealing with injuries.
Josh Smith might have been left off of the All-Star team but he is playing like a fantasy All-Star. He's averaging 18.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.4 blocks over his last five games and is the top ranked power forward on this week's meter.
Jeremy Lin scored more points in his first three starts than any NBA player since 1976. He's averaging 26.8 points, 8.0 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals over his last five games and is the #4 point guard on this week's meter, behind #1 Steve Nash.

Blake Griffin is starring in and directing his own one-man show. He's averaging 21.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.2 steals over his last five games and is the #3 power forward on this week's meter.
Paul Pierce has stepped up his game with Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen out with injuries. He's averaging 23.4 points, 8.2 assists, 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 threes over his last five games and is the second ranked small forward on this week's meter.
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.
Pau Gasol could have a big opening week with Kobe Bryant banged up and Andrew Bynum suspended. He averaged 18.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.6 block last year and is the top ranked power forward on this week's meter.
