    Before setting your Week 5 Fantasy basketball lineups, you NEED to see what our advanced computer model has to say. When it comes to ranking NFL players, this model beat human experts last season when there were big differences in ranking. And the model was closest-to-the-hole overall, meaning it best pinpointed where every player would finish each week.

    Last week, the model was extremely high on Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams, saying he'd finish as a top-3 player at his position despite being started in less than 75 percent of leagues. The result: Graham went for 25, 31, 20 and 21 points in four games during the week. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a huge week.

    Now the model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, has set its sights on Fantasy basketball and has revealed its rankings for Week 5.

    One player the model loves this week: Suns guard Ricky Rubio. The nine-year veteran is putting together his best scoring season so far as a pro, averaging 13.6 points per game. The model lists Rubio as its No. 6 guard in their Week 5 Fantasy basketball rankings even though he's started in less than 75 percent of CBS Sports leagues.

    And a massive shocker: Hawks guard Trae Young, the fourth-best player at his position according to market value, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 20. 

    The model is also calling for a surprising center you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 15 of the rankings, and he could be sitting on your waiver wire right now. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.

    So who should you sit and start this week? And what surprising center could lead you to Fantasy glory? ... Join SportsLine now to get Fantasy basketball rankings for every single position, and see which surprising center is going to finish in the top 15 this week, all from the model that out-performed experts in football big time last season.
