Analysis

1Russell Westbrook OKC2Westbrook ends the season as one of the most productive fantasy players in the game and even w/ the Thunder struggling down the stretch, he continues to be a multi-category producer. 
2Damian Lillard POR2Lillard's usage will go down just a little bit w/ C.J. McCollum back in the Blazers lineup. Lillard is still the team's top option and he'll provide a bit more help w/ assists this week. 
3Kemba Walker CHA2The Hornets are fighting for a playoff spot and they'll have to continue to rely on Walker to hit the most shots. Expect a lot of scoring and help w/ dimes. 
4Ben Simmons PHI2It'll be interesting to see who ends up getting benched for the Sixers this week as they love the phrase "load management". Simmons should be safe and see more usage if Jimmy Butler sits. 
5Stephen Curry GSW2Curry moves down because the Warriors clinched the top spot in the west and there's a chance they'll want to preserve their players. If Curry is benched, look to grab Quinn Cook for a game. 
6Kyrie Irving BOS1Other Celtics are banged up and Irving will see more shots if Jayson Tatum doesn't play. Irving is healthy going into the playoffs and he should get 25-30 minutes in his final game. 
7Jamal Murray DEN2Murray is well-rested and he should be active for both games this week. It's hard to tell whether or not the Nuggets will give him a bit more rest. He gets more shots if other players sit. 
8Chris Paul HOU1Paul has been able to stay healthy and he should be active for his final game of the season. Don't be surprised if he doesn't see a tick over 28 minutes. 
9D'Angelo Russell BKN1Russell has been a big reason why the Nets have clinched the playoffs and w/ plenty of guard options, he may see fewer minutes just to preserve him a bit. He should play in his final game. 
10Kyle Lowry TOR1Lowry will be even more active if the Raptors decide to bench Kyle Lowry or Marc Gasol . He's been the Raptors second scorer all season and he's been very reliable w/ dishing dimes. 
11Ricky Rubio UT2INJ: Rubio missed his last game because of a minor quad injury and it's not a lock that he plays in both of his games this week.
12Goran Dragic MIA2Dragic will be a bit more productive w/ Josh Richardson out and he'll see a good amount of time w/ the ball as the Heat are in a win or go home situation this week as they try to clinch. 
13Reggie Jackson DET2Jackson should be active this week as the Pistons will look to avoid starting off w/ the top-seeded Bucks and he'll continue to be the Pistons third scoring option. 
14Dennis Schroder OKC2Schroder should see more minutes as the Thunder are in the playoffs. Expect his production to go up a bit when it comes to scoring, assists and steals as more minutes should come his way. 
15Dennis Smith Jr. NY2Smith is active and the Knicks have nothing to play for and they want to give him reps and if Emmanuel Mudiay sits, he'll get even more shots. He's already their prioritized shooting option. 
16Trae Young ATL1Young rested in his last game and he should be good to go for his final game of the season even though the Hawks had nothing to play for. He's shown a lot of maturity throughout the season. 
17De'Aaron Fox SAC1The Kings are out of it but Fox has done a good job of keeping them quick on their feet. He's the fastest driver in the league and he'll also help w/ dimes and steals. 
18Eric Bledsoe MIL1Because the Bucks are very banged up, Bledsoe should see playing time in his final game of the season and he's been very helpful on defense and he'll help w/ steals. 
19Emmanuel Mudiay NY2INJ: Mudiay's Shoulder is in pain and his status for his final two games is currently up in the air. 
20Mike Conley MEM2INJ: Conley continues to sit w/ a Knee injury and there's a chance that he may be held out for his final two games.

Analysis

1James Harden HOU1Even w/ just one game this week, Harden has been the most productive player in fantasy basketball this season. Between the mega-scoring season he's had and helping w/ boards and dimes, he's the MVP.
2Donovan Mitchell UT2Mitchell is a boxx of chocolates despite being the Jazz top scoring option. There will be games in which he camps out at the arc and others in which he's a lot more aggressive driving the lane. 
3JaKarr Sampson CHI2The Bulls are very decimated, BUT, they have two games this week and with most of the rotation hurt, Sampson has been able to produce and see a good amount of playing time. 20+ games-2 of last 3.
4CJ McCollum POR2McCollum is back and he saw over 20 minutes last game and that shows he should be able to get a true rotation commitment in his two games this season. He's the Blazers second scorer. 
5Klay Thompson GSW2There is anticipation of rest games coming for the prioritized Warriors players, but if Curry or Kevin Durant sit, Thompson's usage will go way up as he continues to be their go-to bailout option. 
6Bradley Beal WSH1Beal has seen his usage rise a lot between the first and second half of the season. He's been a tremendous scorer and w/ other mid-court players hurt, expect him to see extended minutes. 
7Andrew Wiggins MIN2Wiggins continues to be the 'Wolves second scoring option and w/ the team having nothing to play for, expect the Coaches to let him fire at will and he'll also help a bit w/ assists. 
8Jeremy Lamb CHA2Lamb and the Hornets are fighting to clinch and Lamb has been a good compliment to Walker this season and he's been a tremendous long-range sharp-shooter and he'll help grab long boards. 
9JJ Redick PHI2Redick will benefit if other Sixers players get benched this week. Expect mainly scoring for Redick, but he has been known to help in other areas. Expect him to be a bit helpful w/ assists. 
10DeMar DeRozan SAS1DeRozan should be active for his final game even though the Spurs have clinched. He's been a multi-category producer and the Spurs leading scorer all season.
11Dwyane Wade MIA2Wade has been impressive in his send-off season and he's fighting to give the Heat one more Father Prime playoff run. Expect Wade to get a lot of minutes in his final two games. 
12Nicolas Batum CHA2Batum will be needed as it's an all hands on deck situation in Charlotte as the Hornets fight to clinch. Batum will need to be more helpful w/ crashing the boards. He'll get a good chunk of shots. 
13Buddy Hield SAC1Hield has been an awesome complimentary weapon to Fox and he's been very helpful w/ scoring, rebounding and grabbing steals. We've see a lot of improvements to his game this season. 
14Khris Middleton MIL1Middleton's Groin is considered pain-free as far as we know. He's been very helpful w/ scoring and hitting the cutter from the top of the key. He'll grab a few long boards too.
15Gary Harris DEN2Harris will get more shots if the Nuggets decide to bench anyone this week. When he's been healthy, he's been a good long-range scorer and he's grabbed boards and steals. 
16Lou Williams LAC1Williams will see playing time at both guard spots and he should still see a true rotation commitment of 20-plus minutes even though the Clippers have clinched. He's been their main scorer. 
17Evan Fournier ORL1Fournier will need to be hitting from long-range but more importantly grabbing steals on the defensive end.. Expect him to see 25-30 minutes in his final game of the season.
18Caris LeVert BKN1LeVert should still be active for his final game of the season even w/ the Nets clinched. He's been a helpful scorer from mid and long-range and he's an impactful driver. 
19Jordan Clarkson CLE1Clarkson shouldn't see his minutes drop and he'll see playing time at both guard spots. As always, his scoring is a bit all over the place, but he'll still continue putting up shots and help w/ assists. 
20Eric Gordon HOU1Gordon will still see plenty of minutes in the Rockets final game. He'll also see plenty of shots and lead the Rockets second unit in scoring. If they sit anyone, his usage will go up.

Analysis

1Paul George OKC2George takes the top spot w/ the two-game slate and he's really improved his production over the last few months. He's been a multi-category producer and he's still one of the best defenders in the NBA.
2Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL1It's up in the air whether or not The Greek Freak will be active w/ the Bucks locking up the top spot in the east. I can see him playing around 20-25 minutes just to keep him lose. Watch for preservation. 
3Kevin Durant GSW2Durant is another player who may get a rest game w/ the Warriors locking up the Western Conference. As of right now, he'll be active in both games, but know that could change.
4Luka Doncic DAL2INJ: Doncic is still dealing w/ pain in his Thigh and he missed his last game. His status for the week is up in the air. 
5Jimmy Butler PHI2INJ: Butler has been nursing a Back injury and he's missed his last two games. There's still a chance that he plays in both of his final two games. 
6Kawhi Leonard TOR1The Raptors have played this game w/ us all season regarding benching Leonard and there's a chance he could get his final game of the season off, but if he plays, he's a top scoring option.
7Joe Ingles UT2Ingles has been productive on both sides of the ball. He's been the Jazz main bailout option and he's also been helpful grabbing long boards and steals.
8Walter Lemon Jr. CHI2Another random player who could end up putting you over the top in your leagues. Lemon has been helpful boards, dimes and steals. He has scored in double figures lately a bit more inconsistently. 
9Danilo Gallinari LAC1INJ: Gallinari is dealing w/ an injured Ankle but luckily for him, he has until Wednesday to rest it. 
10Kevin Knox NY2Even though Smith is healthy, Knox will still see plenty of shots as the Knicks second scoring option. He's better when he drives the lane rather than settling for three-pointers and he'll help grab boards.
11Will Barton DEN2Barton should see a good amount of minutes if anyone else is benched in one or both of the Nuggets final two games. He'll see playing time at multiple positions and help w/ scoring and steals. 
12Justin Holiday MEM2Conley and Jonas Valanciunas have been hurt and the Grizzlies need help scoring and Holiday has become their go-to shooting option over his last few games and he'll help a bit w/ boards and dimes. 
13Dion Waiters MIA2Waiters will see more playing time and shots w/ Josh Richardson out. Expect help w/ scoring mainly. He'll also grab a few cheap boards, but his minutes are safe and he's mainly out there to hit three's.
14Bruno Caboclo MEM2Caboclo has been getting a lot more playing time lately because of how aggressive he is attacking the paint. He's very blue-collar and he'll help do the dirty work and grab boards and steals. 
15Mario Hezonja NY2Hezonja has seen his usage go up a ton over his last three games. He's been getting a ton of minutes, shots, time to run the point and his usage will go up if Mudiay sits again. 
16Rudy Gay SAS1Gay has been the Spurs third scorer and he's dominated the high-post. He's been a reliable mid-range scorer and he's been very helpful w/ pulling down boards and even grabbing steals in the paint. 
17Bojan Bogdanovic IND1Bogdanovic has taken on a bigger scoring role in the seond half of the season and if Myles Turner sits, he'll see even more long-range shots. Expect him to get plenty of shots in his final game. 
18Bogdan Bogdanovic SAC1Bogdanovic has been able to stay in the rotation despite Harrison Barnes coming to town. The Kings utilize Bogdanovic as a bailout option as he hangs around the arc a lot. He can run the point too. 
19Terrence Ross ORL1Ross has been a very helpful scorer this season. He's scored 23-plus points in his last three games and he's a solid defender and he'll help grab plenty of steals as the Magic will need him in order to clinch. 
20Joe Harris BKN1Harris has provided a ton of help hitting mid and long-range jumpers for the Nets and he's also done a good job of defending the perimeter. He'll be very helpful in swiping the ball.

1Joel Embiid PHI2You never know when the Sixers will decide to rest Embiid. For now, consider him active for both games and we all know how much he dominates when it comes to production. BE AWARE OF BENCHING!
2Karl-Anthony Towns MIN2The 'Wolves will continue to play Towns despite having nothing to play for. He'll shoot a decent amount of three's and it doesn't take him that much time to produce points and boards. 
3Nikola Jokic DEN2Jokic rested in his previous game, but w/ the Rockets still having a chance to catch the Nuggets, expect Jokic to play.

5Rudy Gobert UT2Gobert will also score a lot of his points off of dunks, but he'll also continue to be very helpful w/ grabbing boards and blocking shots. His usage will go up a bit more w/ Favors hurt.

15Mason Plumlee DEN2Plumee will be more active if Jokic sits at all this week. He doesn't need a lot of playing time to score and grab boards. He'll look to draw contact in the lane and he should see 20 minutes in both games.

17Robin Lopez CHI2Because the Bulls are so decimated and the fact that they have two games puts Lopez on this list. He'll help w/ inside scoring and rebounding and has limited competition at the position. 
18Domantas Sabonis IND1Sabonis will see even more minutes and usage if Myles Turner sits this week. The Pacers may want to rest Turner until the playoffs. Sabonis has been a dominant scorer and rebounder in the post. 
19Montrezl Harrell LAC1Harrell has done all of the dirty work for the Clippers this season. He'll help w/ mid-range and inside scoring and he's been very aggressive on the glass all season. He's blocked shots in his last four games.
