The weekly NBA rankings are determined by opportunity and performance. IND/MEM/MIL/SAS have the super-slate of 5 games, DET/OKC have the short slate of 3 games and all other teams have 4 games for the final week of the season.
A point system is used that weighs specialties like steals, blocks and three-point shooting a bit heavier. Percentages are not looked at as strongly, but are still taken into consideration. Multi-category producers will always get a bump in rankings as long as they have full slates. Injuries will occur, but knowing what we know at this moment, here are the players that will help you dominate the week. Great season by all! It wasn't the easiest to get through with the COVID protocols, but you made it! Let's do it again next season!
