Fantasy Basketball Daily News (10/29/09)
Oct 29, 2009 News
Only two games on the schedule tonight, but both are on TV in the TNT Doubleheader. San Antonio is at Chicago at 8:00 EST while Denver travels to Portland for the 10:30 EST nightcap. I dropped Anderson Varejao and picked up Marreese Speights in the GiveMeTheRock.com keeper league. I’m gambling on Speights for next year, and I already have Brand, Z. Randolph and J. O’Neal at center so Varejao wasn’t an important piece of the team. On to the fantasy news:
