"It's Monday and as long as you don't play in a Yahoo! Weekly league, that somehow still requires you to set a lineup before you go to bed on Sunday night, you'll likely be setting your lineups illegally at work today. Let's go with team-by-team notes and hope that this doesn't take too long to get through.
The NBA Season Pass is up and running, so check it out! Weekly projections and rankings, exclusive live chats, the schedule grid and breakdown, customizable scoring, and much more is all there.

Atlanta 3 games
Jeff Teague was back from his ankle sprain in a big way on Sunday and should be good to go, but the Hawks play just three games this week. The same holds true for Josh Smith and Joe Johnson (despite struggling on Sunday). Marvin Williams and Zaza Pachulia are playing well for the red-hot Hawks, but should be on benches with three games.
Boston 4 games
Rajon Rondo sounds like he could be out until the All-Star break, and has mentioned targeting the Thunder game on Feb. 22 for his return from a wrist injury. He could easily return before then, but it sounds like Feb. 22 might be his personal target date. Fill-in Avery Bradley, who tweaked an ankle on Sunday, is worth a look, but hasn't played well enough yet to be dropped into lineups. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are all healthy and worth starting with four games this week. Jermaine O'Neal is shaky with a knee injury (shocking, I know), so Greg Stiemsma could be a sneaky deep-league play if JO is out."
