Fantasy Basketball Daily News and Notes (11/27/10)

Daily Cash Games – I went 5-1 on Fanduel.com Friday, but it didn’t make me feel much better after my Crimson Tide lost a 24-0 lead and the game to Auburn. What a disappointing season. There are 8 games on the NBA schedule for Saturday.

FantasyBasketballDaily.com News and Notes:
Antawn Jamison (CLE) – Supposedly, there is a 25 minute cap on his minutes, but he went 30 last night so I don’t think he’s really limited.
J.J. Redick (ORL) – Got another start for Vince Carter and probably did as well as Carter would have, 15pt/3reb/5ast/2stl.
Chase Budinger (HOU) – Budinger seems to be heating up a little after dealing with some early season injuries. Definitely worth a pickup if you need threes.
Jordan Hill (HOU) – Grab him in keeper leagues if you have a spot you can gamble with.
Tyrus Thomas (CHA) – After getting the start against the Knicks, Thomas was back on the bench with only 16 minutes of action. The Knicks start was just a matchup based decision.
Jose Caleron (TOR) – Great line Friday, 12pt/15ast. Congrats if you grabbed him off the wire after the Jarrett Jack trade.
DeMar DeRozan/Leandro Barbosa (TOR) – Neither guy seems to want to claim the starting SG spot for Toronto. This will continue to be an unpredictable timeshare, so just avoid it.
Sonny Weems/Linas Kleiza (TOR) – The Raptors can’t decide on who they want at SF either. Weems 18 minutes Friday, Kleiza 30 minutes. Avoid.
Rajon Rondo (BOS) – Returned after missing a few games and got right back on track with 14 assists. More importantly, he was able to go 36 minutes.
Andrew Bogut (MIL) – Missed another game, no word on how long he’s going to be out. John Brockman got the start, but isn’t worth picking up.
Andre Iguodala (PHI) – He played 39 minutes Friday and appears to be fully recovered. Get him active.
Jodie Meeks (PHI) – Meeks got 25 minutes of action and got hot with 21 points. He’s pretty far down the depth chart right now, but keep an eye on him.
Russell Westbrook (OKC) – Line of the night, 43pt/8reb/8ast.
Roy Hibbert (IND) – It was really good to see Hibbert get back on track with a good game, his confidence really needed it. He looks safe to start using again in daily cash games.
Tyson Chandler (DAL) – Chandler is playing well right now, 19pt/8reb. Brendan Haywood is dealing with some nagging injuries and an attitude problem, so Chandler should get big minutes for awhile.
Derrick Rose (CHI) – Rose missed Friday’s game with a sore neck, but C.J. Watson stepped in and did a great Rose impression with 33 points. Not sure of Rose’s status for today’s game.
Chauncey Billups (DEN) – Sat out another game Friday. Ty Lawson got the start and had 17pt/3ast.
Hakim Warrick (PHO) – Big game from Warrick, 25pts/6reb.
Andris Biedrins (GSW) – Biedrins got hot Friday with 28pt/21reb. Not sure where this came from, but it probably won’t happen again. He was still a nice late round grab in drafts.
O.J. Mayo (MEM) – A benching may have got Mayo’s attention, 23 points in 27 minutes. He should move back into the starter’s role soon.
Brandon Roy (POR) – Some rest really helped Roy, 27 points in 34 minutes of action. He’s still going to be very inconsistent and could be shut down at any time. This might be your opportunity to dump him for something reasonable.
Terrence Williams (NJN) – Assigned to the D-League in a completely ridiculous move.
Reggie Evans (TOR) – Suffered a broken foot Friday. Drop him for Amir Johnson.
