Fantasy Basketball Daily News and Notes (11/7/10)
Nov 7, 2010 Blog
Daily Cash Games – Kevin Martin really cost me last night leaving the game with an ankle injury. I went 2-3 on Fanduel.com and lost those three games each by 6 points. The really aggravating thing was that the Houston game went to overtime, without Martin. FantasySportsLive.com was better for me last night where I went 5-2. I went 1-0 on DraftZone.com. It’s pretty much been a break even weekend.
Zach Randolph (MEM) – He’s back to normal, 20pts/11reb Saturday.
Tyreke Evans (SAC) – He didn’t show any problems with his sore ankle Saturday. He put up 30pts/8reb/5ast/4stl. Start him.
Samuel Dalembert (SAC) – He has re-established himself as the starting center for the Kings with DeMarcus Cousins moving to the backup role. Dalembert got 32 minutes Saturday, recording 8pts/12reb/5blk. Get him back into your starting lineup.
Al Thornton (WAS) – He had a good night with 23 points, but he got benched for the final 9 minutes of the game as Washington went with the three guard set that they used in preseason. If this becomes the norm, Thornton will lose fantasy value. He might be a great sell high candidate right now.
Anderson Varejao (CLE) – He’s been a great source of rebounds this season, so check your wire to see if he’s still out there to help you at center.
Ramon Sessions (CLE) – Looks like the odd man out for the Cavs. Daniel Gibson has been the first guard off the bench and has been outproducing Sessions. Hold him for another week or two and then look for a better option.
Gilbert Arenas (WAS) – He got 25 minutes Saturday and it’s probably only a matter of time before he’s on the court for 30+.
Jameer Nelson/Chris Duhon (ORL) – Duhon got the start Saturday for an injured Nelson and put up a typical Duhon line, 4pts/9ast. Leave him on the wire.
Gerald Wallace (CHA) – The ankle looked much better Saturday, 25pts/14reb. Start him with confidence.
Miami Heat Starters – Wade, Bosh and James: 73 pts/18reb/14ast. Arroyo and Anthony: 6pts/2reb/1ast. One injury and Miami is toast.
Andrew Bogut (MIL) – He appears to be back to his old ways, 19pts/14reb.
Richard Jefferson (SAS) – His turnaround continues, 22 more points Saturday. Go ahead and pick him up if he’s still on your wire.
Nene (DEN) – Missed another game Saturday, Gary Forbes got the start but didn’t do much with it.
Tyson Chandler/Brendan Haywood (DAL) – Combined for 3 points and 12 rebounds last night. Avoid them both.
Eric Bledsoe (LAC) – Solid game 14pts/5reb/4ast. Grab him in keeper leagues.
Paul Millsap (UTA) – His breakout continues, 25pts/13reb.
Linas Kleiza (TOR) – The hot sleeper has really cooled. Only 4, 8 and 6 points in his last three. Hold him for another week to see if he snaps out of it.
Shelden Williams (DEN) – The Shelden train has run out of steam. The rebounds were nice while they lasted.
Ryan Anderson (ORL) – After starting a couple games, he got a DNP Saturday. Probably not worth picking up right now. Quentin Richardson was back starting at SF with Rashard Lewis at PF.
