| West has good night for Hornets | Saturday 11/15, 11:58 PM CT |
|
David West had a decent night scoring 18 while pulling down 10 rebounds.
Our View: West is a consistent source of points and boards for fantasy owners, as he showed on Saturday. |
|
|
| Paul has off night from field | Saturday 11/15, 11:55 PM CT |
|
Chris Paul had an off night shooting from the field on Saturday, going just 2-of-10 from the fields. He finished with 12 points still, as he was a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe. Paul also had 12 assists, three rebounds, and a steal.
Our View: Even on a down night, Paul posts a double-double. This guy is amazing. |
|
|
| Hughes has season debut on Saturday | Saturday 11/15, 11:44 PM CT |
|
Larry Hughes looked good coming off of the bench in his season debut on Saturday against the Pacers. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds, three steals, and a block in 22 minutes for Chicago. Hughes hadn't played all year after dislocating his right shoulder during the preseason.
Our View: The Bulls are pretty guard heavy right now, so it's hard to tell where Hughes' role with the team will be. |
|
|
| Rose solid in Bulls' win | Saturday 11/15, 11:40 PM CT |
|
Derrick Rose scored 23 points in Saturday's win over the Pacers. He also tallied four rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block.
Our View: The number-one overall pick is playing his way into all fantasy starting lineups right now. He won't let injuries or defenses slow him down. |
|
|
| Murphy has strong game for Pacers | Saturday 11/15, 11:37 PM CT |
|
Troy Murphy played with the flu on Friday and posted a double-double regardless. Murphy notched 12 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and a steal in Indiana's loss at Chicago.
Our View: The Pacers have been struggling with various ailments lately and should pull out of the slump once they subside. |
|
|
| Granger keeps Pacers in it, but they lose in the end | Saturday 11/15, 11:33 PM CT |
|
Either Danny Granger's quadriceps aren't bugging him anymore or he's just not showing it. He put up a double-double the night after playing 40 minutes. Granger finished with 15 points, 10 rebounds, two blocks, two assists, and a steal in 34 minutes.
Our View: The Pacers dropped a game they could've won for the second straight night on Saturday, but Granger certainly can't be blamed as he gutted out two nice performances. |
|
|
| Miller doesn't do much for Wolves | Saturday 11/15, 11:27 PM CT |
|
Mike Miller only had 10 points in Minnesota's loss to Portland on Saturday. He had five rebounds and five assists as well.
Our View: Miller and the Wolves aren't getting it done right now. Other than Al Jefferson who scored 26 on Saturday, most of their guys should be bench players in fantasy right now. |
|
|
| Foye has off shooting night in loss | Saturday 11/15, 11:24 PM CT |
|
Randy Foye was limited to just 10 points in 34 minutes on Saturday, shooting just 5-of-14 from the field. Foye also had four boards and two assists.
Our View: Foye's owned in most leagues, but makes owners ask themselves why with games like this. |
|
|
| Oden has solid bench game | Saturday 11/15, 11:21 PM CT |
|
Greg Oden was solid off of the Blazers' bench on Saturday, scoring 13 points and added eight rebounds, three blocks, two steals, and an assist as well.
Our View: Oden's fantasy stock is certainly in buy mode. Sign him while you can if you have someone worth dropping him for. |
|
|
| Roy leads Blazers to win | Saturday 11/15, 11:18 PM CT |
|
Brandon Roy scored 24 points to go with six assists and three rebounds in Saturday's 88-83 win over the T-Wolves.
Our View: Roy is one of the league's most consistent scorers right now. |
|
|
| Wallace solid on D in Cavs' win | Saturday 11/15, 11:14 PM CT |
|
Lebron James offered the offense on Saturday, and Ben Wallace provided the defense by coming up with 10 rebounds, four steals, and two blocks. He also had two assists and one point on the offensive side of things.
Our View: The Cavs are looking like a very solid team so far this year as everyone's finding their roles. Wallace probably doesn't have a role on your fantasy team however, as he rarely logs anything other than rebounds. |
|
|
| James shoots holes in Jazz's depleted D | Saturday 11/15, 11:05 PM CT |
|
LeBron James destroyed the Jazz on Saturday, scoring 38 to go with seven assists, five rebounds, two steals, and two blocks.
Our View: King James is on a roll, as are his Cavs who are now 8-2 to start the season. |
|
|
| Price can't fill Williams' void | Saturday 11/15, 11:03 PM CT |
|
Ronnie Price scored 12 in Utah's 105-93 loss to the Cavs on Saturday. He finished with two rebounds, three assists, a block and a steal as well for the Jazz.
Our View: Price doesn't have much value real or fantasy, as he's just not Derron Williams. |
|
|
| Boozer decent, but can't do it on his own | Saturday 11/15, 11:01 PM CT |
|
Carlos Boozer had 17 points with nine rebounds and four assists on Saturday for the Jazz, who lost on consecutive nights.
Our View: The Jazz are still without Mehmet Okur, Derron Williams, and Andre Kirilenko, and probably won't start winning consistently again until they get those three back. |
|
|
| Williams doesen't do much for Hawks | Saturday 11/15, 9:15 PM CT |
|
Marvin Williams had a decent effort for the Hawks on Saturday, finishing with 14 points and six rebounds.
Our View: These are both slightly above Williams' averages, but he isn't a great fantasy option at this point. He's available in about a quarter of leagues if you need some extra scoring or rebounding off of your bench. |
|
|
| Johnson keeps scoring, Hawks keep losing | Saturday 11/15, 9:09 PM CT |
|
Joe Johnson continued his scoring spree on Saturday, putting up 31 points for the Hawks. However, Atlanta still lost their third straight after starting 6-0 by a score of 119-107 to the Nets. Johnson also notched two rebounds, five assists, and four steals on Saturday.
Our View: Johnson certainly can't be faulted for the current losing streak, as he's scored 28 or more in each contest. |
|
|
| Carter keeps lighting up opponents | Saturday 11/15, 9:01 PM CT |
|
Vince Carter went off for the second straight night, scoring 29 points on Saturday a day after putting up 26, and has now scored over 20 in five straight for the Nets. Carter also had five assists, four rebounds, and two steals on Saturday.
Our View: Carter's fantasy stock is certainly on the rise. If you could deal him as part of a package for a more consistent option, now's the time. |
|
|
| Harris shoots down Hawks with 33 | Saturday 11/15, 8:51 PM CT |
|
Devin Harris is on fire for the Nets. He has put up 63 points total in back-to-back nights for New Jersey, including 33 on Saturday. Harris also had 10 assists, three rebounds, and two steals in the Nets 119-107 win over the Hawks.
Our View: Harris has been incredible this year when he's been in the Nets' lineup. Keep him in your lineup unless you hear otherwise. |
|
|
| Durant's offense limited in loss | Saturday 11/15, 8:32 PM CT |
|
Kevin Durant scored 13 in the Thunder's 110-85 loss to the Sixers on Saturday. He also had three rebounds and one assist.
Our View: This was a down game for Durant, who's averaged over 22 points-per-game so far this year. Durant's bound to struggle occasionally as he plays for such a poor team. |
|
|
| Green has nice game in loss | Saturday 11/15, 8:26 PM CT |
|
Jeff Green scored nearly a quarter of the Thunder's points on Saturday, finishing with 21 of their 85. Green also added four assists, three rebounds, three steals, and a block in Oklahoma's ninth loss in just 10 games this year.
Our View: Green has played well for the Thunder, but they still can't get it together as a club. |
|
|
| Brand contributes to win | Saturday 11/15, 8:23 PM CT |
|
Elton Brand was held to single figures in rebounding for just the fourth time in 10 games on Saturday, as he finished with just four. He did contribute 15 points, five assists, two blocks, and a steal to the Sixers' 110-85 win over Oklahoma City.
Our View: Brand's rebounding has been inconsistent at times, but he's only been held to single digits in scoring once this year. |
|
|
| Young goes over 20 again in win | Saturday 11/15, 8:19 PM CT |
|
Thaddeus Young went over 20 points in back-to-back nights for the Sixers, finishing Saturday's game with 23. Young also had four rebounds and two assists.
Our View: Young is owned in virtually all fantasy leagues, but should be signed immediately if he's still around in yours. He's really come on these last two games, and could really add some more scoring to your roster. |
|
|
| Oden has first big game | Saturday 11/15, 8:11 PM CT |
|
Greg Oden posted his first career double-double on Friday, finishing with 11 points and 11 rebounds. He also had four blocks.
Our View: Oden might be worth a roster spot if he stays healthy. Guys that pick up a lot of blocks while being able to score as well aren't that common in the NBA. He also did this in just 24 minutes, so he could be even more productive with more playing time, if he avoids foul trouble. |
|
|
| Duhon still slumping | Saturday 11/15, 7:57 PM CT |
|
Chris Duhon has continued to be a disappointment for both the Knicks and fantasy owners. He has only scored in double figures twice in nine games for the Knicks this season. Duhon's assist numbers haven't been up to snuff either, as he's averaging a tad under seven assists-per-game as well.
Our View: Duhon's fantasy value gets lower by the day. He is only owned in about a third of leagues at this point. |
|
|
| Biedrins continues to rack up points and boards | Saturday 11/15, 7:50 PM CT |
|
Andris Biedrins has been a huge plus for fantasy owners this season. 10 games into the season, and Biedrins has recorded a double-double of points and rebounds in each contest.
Our View: The Warriors could be poised to make a late season run once they get Monta Ellis back if they are still getting this kind of performance out of Biedrins in a couple of months. The Warriors are only 4-6 in the early going, but still haven't struggled as much as another annual playoff contender in the Mavericks, who have sputtered to a 2-7 start. |
|
|
| Martin fined $20K for actions | Saturday 11/15, 7:17 PM CT |
|
Kenyon Martin was fined $20,000 for his actions after being ejected from Thursday's game, according to the Associated Press.
Our View: It appears that the fine will be the end of the incident and that Martin won't be suspended. |
|
|
| Camby gives good bench effort | Saturday 11/15, 5:12 PM CT |
|
Marcus Camby came off the bench and posted a double-double for the Clippers in their loss to Golden State on Saturday. He finished with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and one assist.
Our View: Camby should be a consistent source of points and rebounds if he's not slowed by injuries anymore this year, as he's missed three of the Clippers' nine games so far this season. |
|
|
| Davis has big game, but still loses to former team | Saturday 11/15, 5:08 PM CT |
|
Baron Davis was on the wrong end of a battle with his former club on Saturday. The Clippers fell to Goldent State 120-101 with Davis putting up 25 points, 11 assists, four rebounds, and three steals.
Our View: Davis should continue to rack up points and assists, even with as bad as the Clippers are. |
|
|
| Jackson helps GS knock of Clippers | Saturday 11/15, 5:05 PM CT |
|
Stephen Jackson had a double-double on Saturday to help the Warriors to victory, scoring 20 points to go with 10 assists, four rebounds, and two steals.
Our View: Jackson's consistently piling up the points and assists for fantasy owners. He can be expected to give owners between four and five rebounds per game as well. |
|
|
| Morrow goes off for 37 against Clippers | Saturday 11/15, 5:02 PM CT |
|
Anthony Morrow was incredible in the Warriors' 120-101 win over the Clippers, scoring 37 points with 11 rebounds and an assist.
Our View: Morrow hasn't had much fantasy value so far this season, so his fabulous stats may have a lot to do with the state of the Clippers as a team this year. |
|
|
| Knicks likely will re-sign Ewing Jr. | Saturday 11/15, 4:17 PM CT |
|
Patrick Ewing Jr. practiced with the Knicks on Saturday, according to the Bergen Record. The Knicks will likely re-sign Ewing after cutting him on October 27th.
Our View: Ewing Jr. will likely not have any fantasy value. |
|
|
| Hendrix demoted to D-League | Saturday 11/15, 12:29 PM CT |
|
Richard Hendrix has been demoted to the D-League by the Warriors, according to the SF Chronicle.
Our View: Hendrix was hindered by a thigh ailment, and never got a fair shot to compete for playing time with the Warriors. |
|
|
| Nelson sent down to D-League | Saturday 11/15, 12:26 PM CT |
|
DeMarcus Nelson has been sent down to the D-League by the Warriors, according to the SF Chronicle.
Our View: Nelson averaged 5.4 points while playing 14.8 minutes over eight games, shooting 51 percent from the field. He fared well as a shooter, but needs to improve his overall game in the D-League before he rejoins the Warriors. |
|
|
| Wilcox is questionable | Saturday 11/15, 12:21 PM CT |
|
Chris Wilcox is questionable for Saturday's game against the Sixers due to his knee injury, according to the Sports Network.
Our View: Even if he plays, Wilcox should not be considered for fantasy lineups while only averaging six points and 5.2 rebounds per game. |
|
|
| Boone questionable | Saturday 11/15, 12:18 PM CT |
|
Josh Boone is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks due to his ailing ankle, according to the Sports Network.
Our View: Boone is the Nets' starting center, but is only averaging five points and six boards over his last three games, and should not be considered for fantasy lineups while questionable to play. |
|
|
| Villanueva is doubtful | Saturday 11/15, 12:13 PM CT |
|
Charlie Villanueva is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Celtics due to his strained left hamstring, according to the Sports Network.
Our View: Villanueva is capable of favorable production, but has not been able to stay healthy over his young career. |
|
|
| Redd questionable | Saturday 11/15, 12:10 PM CT |
|
Michael Redd is questionable for Saturday's game against Boston due to his sprained right ankle, according to the Sports Network.
Our View: He hasn't played since November 2 against the Knicks. Charlie Bell would likely start in his place if unable to return against the Celtics. |
|
|
| Gallinari to miss 4-6 weeks | Saturday 11/15, 11:21 AM CT |
|
Danilo Gallinari is expected to be on the shelf for 4-6 weeks while resting his ailing back, according to the NY Daily News.
Our View: He will hold off on surgery, and will wait and see how his back responds over the next month or so. The rookie is not worth holding in standard fantasy leagues. |
|
|
| Wallace questionable | Saturday 11/15, 11:08 AM CT |
|
Ben Wallace is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to his left knee contusion, according to the Associated Press.
Our View: Wallace is a non-factor as a scorer and is only averaging seven boards per game. Fantasy owners should manage fine if unable to go. |
|
|
| Kirilenko doubtful for Saturday | Saturday 11/15, 10:24 AM CT |
|
Andrei Kirilenko is doubtful for Saturday's game, according to the Deseret News. He sprained and potentially dislocated the tip of his right index finger in Wednesday's loss to the Wizards. He said, "I can't catch the ball. I can run, stay in the lane. But nothing with the ball."
Our View: He should be held out of fantasy lineups for tonight. He is considered day-to-day. |
|
|
| Williams is doubtful | Saturday 11/15, 10:20 AM CT |
|
Deron Williams is doubtful for Saturday's game due to his ailing left ankle, according to the Deseret News. He said, "I can't do anything. I can't push off of it, I can't move like I want to. So, there's no reason to play."
Our View: Williams should remain reserved on fantasy rosters through the weekend. |
|
|
| Okur to remain out | Saturday 11/15, 10:16 AM CT |
|
Mehmet Okur is expected to miss his fourth straight game Saturday while attending to his ailing father in Turkey, according to the Deseret News.
Our View: It remains uncertain when he may return to Utah. Kosta Koufos will be afforded more playing time in his absence. |
|
|
| Giddens to be demoted | Saturday 11/15, 8:59 AM CT |
|
Rookie JR Giddens will be sent to the Utah Flash of the Development League, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View: The rookie was unable to earn any playing time in a deep and talented rotation at guard, and will benefit from more playing time to develop his skills in the D-League. |
|
|
| Brooks replaces Alston | Saturday 11/15, 8:26 AM CT |
|
Aaron Brooks is replacing Rafer Alston at point guard while he serves his two-game suspension stemming from a fight with the Suns, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View: He scored 14 points and three assists in his first NBA start Friday, and would be worth a look tonight, but will draw a tough assignment while matching up against Chris Paul (Hornets). |
|
|
| Kobe's 29 not enough | Saturday 11/15, 12:28 AM CT |
|
Kobe Bryant scored 29 points in the Lakers' first defeat of the year. He also contributed five rebounds, six assists, four steals, and a block.
Our View: Kobe was solid for the Lakers but didn't have much support, as Pau Gasol was the only other starter to score in double figures on Friday. All five Pistons' starters scored in double figures. |
|
|
| Gasol's double-double not enough | Saturday 11/15, 12:25 AM CT |
|
Pau Gasol scored 15 on Friday in the Lakers' first loss of the year. He also had 10 rebounds and six assists.
Our View: Gasol was right around his averages for the season on Friday, but average hasn't been good enough to beat the Pistons lately. |
|
|
| Iverson has solid game to beat LA | Saturday 11/15, 12:21 AM CT |
|
Allen Iverson continues to power the Pistons, scoring 25 points on Friday while also adding four each of rebounds, assists, and steals.
Our View: Iverson continues to rack up points and assists for fantasy owners. |
|
|
| Wallace's double-double dooms Lakers | Saturday 11/15, 12:19 AM CT |
|
Rasheed Wallace had another big night as the Pistons handed the Lakers their first loss of the season. Wallace had 25 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks.
Our View: Wallace has really come on strong during the Pistons road trip out west, boosting his fantasy stock a bit. |
|
|
| Salmons scores 21 in loss | Saturday 11/15, 12:14 AM CT |
|
John Salmons scored 21 for the Kings on Friday night. He added four rebounds, five assists, four steals, and one block as well.
Our View: Salmons typically scores a fair amount of points while contributing rebounds and assists as well. |
|
|
| Miller has big night, Kings come up short | Saturday 11/15, 12:12 AM CT |
|
Brad Miller had a big night for the Kings as they fell just short against the Suns, losing 97-95 in overtime. Miller had 20 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block.
Our View: Miller has fantasy value because he can put up assists, in addition to the typical points and rebounds that one would expect from a starting center. |
|
|
| Hill leads Suns to win with Shaq's help | Saturday 11/15, 12:10 AM CT |
|
Grant Hill played 45 minutes on Friday as the Suns had to replace suspended guard Steve Nash. Hill posted 22 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and four steals.
Our View: Hill came up huge for the Suns, but with Nash only receiving a one-game suspension, he shouldn't have much fantasy value. |
|
|
| Shaq has big game against Kings | Saturday 11/15, 12:06 AM CT |
|
Shaquille O'Neal looked like vintage Shaq on Friday, finishing with 29 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, a steal, and a block in the Suns' 97-95 overtime win over the Kings.
Our View: If Shaq keeps playing the way he has recently, he'll become an every night starter for your fantasy team. |
