Fantasy Basketball Daily News and Notes (11/10/10)
Nov 10, 2010 Blog
Daily Cash Games – I had a feeling it was going to be a bad night with all the poor matchups and it fact it was, 0-4-1 on Fanduel.com and 2-3 on FantasySportsLive.com. At least I had enough sense to only play 10 games total, but I probably should have had more discipline and skipped last night altogether. I’ve got a handful of $25 games going tonight, so hopefully things will get back on track.
Gary Forbes (DEN) – This game was a blowout, but Forbes got some run and looked pretty decent putting up 16 points in 21 minutes. Keep an eye on him.
Mike Dunleavy (IND) – A 31 point explosion from Dunleavy. I have no idea where this came from, but if you need points in a deep league, he’s worth an add even with Brandon Rush coming back from a suspension.
Brandon Rush – Played his first game after serving a 5 game suspension and looked pretty good. 30 minutes, 16pts/7reb. He should end up in a timeshare with Mike Dunleavy.
Antawn Jamison (CLE) – He made it back after missing a few games with knee problems. He was average, but more importantly he hurt the fantasy value of J. J. Hickson. A trade would help Jamison and Hickson’s value.
Travis Outlaw (NJN) – Outlaw was forced into big minutes Tuesday with Terrence Williams out and he had a nice game with 27pts/7reb. If he has a couple more, it could be your chance to sell high.
Derrick Favors (NJN) – Only 16 minutes, but 6pts/7reb. Had New Jersey known he could play like this, they probably wouldn’t have signed Troy Murphy. I’d look for a Murphy trade sometime in January.
Paul Millsap (UTA) – Huge career high game out of Millsap last night, 46pts/9reb against a tough Miami defense. He’s shooting at nearly a 63% clip, so just be aware that he’s running really hot right now.
Jerryd Bayless (NOR) – Bayless saw his first extended action with New Orleans and impressed with 15pts/9ast in 19 minutes.
Al-Farouq Aminu (LAC) – Aminu got 30 minutes of action Tuesday, putting up 20pts/8reb. Grab him if you are in a keeper league.
Baron Davis (LAC) – Davis came off the bench for 10 minutes last night, so at least he’s getting close to returning. Keep him benched for now.
Willie Green (NOR) – Green got a little garbage time reward, 19 points in 25 minutes. Marcus Thornton never made it off the bench, DNP-CD.
Danilo Gallinari (NYK) – He’s turned into a horribly inconsistent shooter. 1-6 Tuesday. Might be time to bench him for a few games until he gets things straightened out.
Anthony Randolph (NYK) – I’ve been preaching patience with Anthony Randolph and he rewarded me Tuesday with 28 minutes of action, 8pts/9reb/2stl/2blk. His role should keep expanding as he gets with the D’Antoni system.
Drew Gooden (MIL) – Gooden finally showed up to play, 27 minutes, 17pts/8reb.
Brandon Roy (POR) – He seems to be hurting, only 21 minutes of action Tuesday. Might be a good idea to bench him for a game just to see what develops.
LaMarcus Aldridge (POR) – Good game from Aldridge, 19pts/17reb.
Kevin Love (MIN) – Rambis finally let Love play more than 27 minutes and he put up 23pts/24reb against a tough Laker team. See what happens when you give your best player big minutes? You actually have a chance to win games.
Kobe Bryant (LAL) – The Timberwolves made Kobe do a little work, 33 points in 35 minutes.
