Nov 7, 2009 News

Checking in tonight with a little NBA Fantasy news after a day of painting and putting carpet in my gameroom.  Just finished watching my Crimson Tide sneak through another win.  Bring on the Gators!   The room is coming together nicely and hopefully I’ll get it finished tomorrow.

  • Round 1 of the D-League Draft.  [Hardwood Paroxysm]
  • Complete D-League Draft Results and Analysis. [RediculousUpside.com]

  • Michael Redd will be out for 2 weeks with a strained patella tendon in his left knee.  Redd says it is an aggravation of an old injury and not related to his ACL/MCL injury of last season.  Charlie Bell will get the start today.  [JSOnline.com]
  • Matt Buser’s latest Yahoo Fantasy Basketball report.  [Yahoo.com]
  • Don’t be tempted by Raja Bell being inserted back into the starting lineup.  He went 1-8  due to the injured wrist.  He is in there for defense.
  • Rip Hamilton won’t play today.  Ben Gordon will get the extra minutes and makes a nice fantasy start.   [DetroitBadBoys.com]
  • Vince Carter expects to play vs Detroit today, but check it before gametime just to make sure.  JJ Redick will get the start if Carter can’t go.  [Orlando Sentinel]
