Fantasy Basketball Daily News (12/30/09)
Dec 30, 2009 Blog
Tough night last night on my cash game picks, going 1-2. I couldn’t fit Kobe under the salary cap and he put up 60 fantasy points which completely blew me out of the water in two of my games at FantasySportsLive.com. I decided to go cheap with Stojakovic and spend my money on LeBron, but James only got 40 points and Peja stunk it up with 4 points. I’m going to try and start posting some of my picks before the games tip off when I have time. After 10 weeks, my season long leagues are starting to become a grind and I like the freshness of daily games where you get to choose new players every day.

Fantasy Basketball Player News and Notes:
- Andris Biedrins worked 26 minutes in his second game back. He’s supposed to be on a limit for a few games.
- Kevin Garnett is a gametime decision Wednesday with a sore right knee. Well it actually took 10 weeks for the knee to act up, much longer than I thought it would. Garnett is pretty average these days, so bench him to be safe and go with a better option.
- Rajon Rondo is also a gametime decision Wednesday with a sore left hamstring.
- Kevin Love took a hard fall on Tuesday, so check his gametime status for his next one.
- Charlie Villanueva only got 12 minutes on Tuesday. Get him benched until his foot problems are resolved.
- Ron Artest missed his third game with a concussion.
- Will Bynum is still out with ankle injuries.
- Troy Murphy is hurting with a sprained ankle. Check his gametime status.
- Chris Douglas-Roberts may return Wednesday.
- Portland signed Shavlik Randolph. No real fantasy value.
- Luc Richard Mbah a Moute will start Wednesday, Carlos Delfino to the bench.
- Mario Chalmers and Carlos Arroyo will continue to split time, which really makes both unplayable in fantasy cash games.
- Marcus Camby is questionable Wednesday.
- Ryan Gomes is back and got 15 minutes of action Tuesday.
- Dwight Howard could have a big game Wednesday since Van Gundy wants to get him more involved down low.
