Fantasy Basketball Daily News and Notes (2/1/11)
Feb 1, 2011 Blog
Posting Schedule – I will be out from Thursday, February 3 through Monday, February 14 for a little vacation time. No computers or phones, just warm sunshine and beer.
Andrea Bargnani (TOR) – Slipped back into his shooting slump, 3 of 15 for 12 points.
DeMar DeRozan (TOR) – DeRozan has cooled after a very strong run, 3 of 15 for just 10 points.
Roy Hibbert (IND) – The first game since the O’Brien firing went pretty well for Hibbert, 24pts/11reb. Maybe O’Brien’s system wasn’t working for Hibbert or maybe this is just a coincidence. I did see a Twitter post yesterday saying the Pacers were going to be playing less ‘small ball’, so maybe that means more Hibbert. Keep an eye on it.
Paul George (IND) – Still a great add, 16pts/4reb.
Carmelo Anthony (DEN) – Put on a great show for the Nets fans, which will probably have them screaming louder for the Nets to pull the trigger on a trade, 37 points on 12 of 22 shooting.
Devin Harris (NJN) – 18 assists.
Anthony Morrow (NJN) – Shooting the ball well since his return from injury, 6 of 6 for 18 points. 4 of 4 from three.
Manny Harris (CLE) – Got the start with Daniel Gibson out with a thigh injury, 20pts/5reb.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas (MIA) – Ilgauskas exposed more weakness in J.J. Hickson’s defensive game, 12pts/14reb.
Mike Conley (MEM) – One of his better games, 26pts/11ast. He rarely has huge lines, but he is a consistent performer and safe fantasy play.
Nick Young (WAS) – Another 20 shot attempts Monday, but only 18 points.
Tyson Chandler (DAL) – Solid line from Chandler, 18pts/18reb. He did tweak an ankle, so check his next gametime status just to be safe.
Gerald Wallace (CHA) – Not sure what’s wrong with Gerald Wallace right now, but something has got his game off, 7pts/6reb. Maybe he’s dealing with an undisclosed injury.
D.J. Augustin (CHA) – He’s really turned it on since the coaching change in Charlotte. Nearly put up triple-double Monday, 20pts/8reb/7ast.
Deron Williams (UTA) – Missed another game with his wrist injury and there’s no word on when he’s going to be back. Earl Watson got the start, 5pts/6ast.
Andrei Kirilenko (UTA) – Left Monday’s game with a sprained ankle.
Brandon Jennings (MIL) – Continues to work his minutes up. He got 17 minutes Monday and managed to jack up 13 shots in that limited run.
Brandon Bass (ORL) – Suffered a leg injury Monday. Ryan Anderson should move into the starting lineup if Bass misses time.
