Fantasy Basketball Daily News and Notes (12/30/10)

Daily Cash Games – Not much luck in the Fanduel.com $3000 Tournament last night.  My team had an average night putting up 293 points, but that was only good for 71st place out of 315 teams.   This tourney runs every Wednesday at Fanduel.com, so maybe next week will be better!

New Year’s Posting Schedule – I will be out Friday, Saturday and Sunday to attend a wedding in Pennsylvania.  At least it isn’t snowing – yet.  I’ll be back posting daily starting Monday, January 3.

 

News, Notes and Injuries from Wednesday’s Fantasy Action:

Dorrell Wright (GSW) Got hot hitting 13 of 21 shots for 32 points.

Fantasy Basketball Daily News and Notes (12/27/10)

Daily Cash Games – I had a great team for the Fanduel.com Sunday $6000 NFL Tournament , but Michael Vick ended with a zero because his game got moved to Tuesday and I ended up in 55th place out of 239 teams.  If Vick would have played, I probably finish in the top 10, but those are the hazards of traveling for Christmas and not being up on the news or being near a computer.

Holiday Posting Schedule – I’ll be in and out this week, so posting might be light.  I’ll be back posting full speed on Monday, January 3rd.

 

Fantasy News and Notes from Sunday’s NBA action:

Mickael Pietrus (PHO) – Might be a better fantasy option than Jared Dudley.  It looks like Phoenix is trying to work Pietrus in to the rotation just to see what they have.

Fantasy Basketball Daily News and Notes (12/23/10)

Daily Cash Games –  I finished 30th out of 285 teams  in the Fanduel.com $2500 Fantasy Basketball Tournament last night.  Martell Webster and Nate Robinson really killed me, as I finished only 20 points behind the tournament winner.  There’s another $2500 tourney next Wednesday at Fanduel.com.

Holiday Posting Schedule – Posting is going to be a little light over the Christmas Holidays.  I’ll be back to full speed on Monday, January 3.

Charlotte Bobcats – Finally got rid of Larry Brown yesterday and brought in Paul Silas to coach the team.  Tyrus Thomas is the player who stands to benefit the most, so check your wire to see if he’s out there.
