Another week of the 2015-16 fantasy basketball season is nearing its end, and owners can focus on getting a win this week.

Making moves on the weekend can be the difference between winning or losing a week of fantasy basketball, which could have huge repercussions down the road. When targeting players to add on the weekend, the ideal scenario is to have them playing in two games over the weekend, but sometimes matchups and how well a player is playing makes it worth it to add him for just one game.

There have been a few injuries this past week, which has led to players becoming starters, and there have also been players that have made an impact since returning from injuries. As always, some players have simply just been earning more minutes because of their success on the court, and it is good to pay attention to all three when looking to improve your team.

With the weekend finally upon us, here are five players that can help you win your matchup this week. All of the players on the list are owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues, so hopefully they’ll be able to help your team this weekend.

Next: 5. Marco Belinelli
