Here’s a look at the Week 5 NBA schedule.

Four Games
Dallas Mavericks (GS, @HOU, @IND, @CLE)
Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Jason Kidd, and Shawn Marion are great options this week. Drew Gooden is a nice option if Erick Dampier can’t go.

Denver Nuggets (NJ, @MN, NY, MIN)
With two games against the Wolves and one against the Knicks, Carmelo could approach 150 points this week. J.R. Smith, Chauncey Billups, Nene, and Kenyon Martin are also good plays.

Los Angeles Clippers (MIN, @IND, @DET, MEM)
The Clippers are one of a few teams with four games this week, but they don’t have many good fantasy options. Chris Kaman and Baron Davis are must starts. Al Thornton is a possibility. Marcus Camby is a good bet if he’s healthy.

Memphis Grizzlies (SAC, @PHX, @POR, @LAC)
With four games on tap, Ruy Gay, O.J. Mayo, and Zach Randolph are excellent plays. Mike Conley is a solid option if you need a bump in assists.

Milwaukee Bucks (@SA, @NO, @OKC, ORL)
Brandon Jennings is a staple in fantasy lineups by now. Hakeem Warrick is a solid choice now that Andrew Bogut is out 2-4 weeks. Michael Redd is a possibility if his knee holds up.
