The Kings have decided to rename their arena after those scam Power Balance bracelets. The arena will now be known as Power Balance Pavilion. The ShamWow guy really should have stepped up on this one, he really missed an opportunity there.
News and Notes from Tuesday’s Fantasy NBA Action:
Beno Udrih (SAC) – He’s really producing without Tyreke Evans in the lineup, 26pts/6ast.
DeMarcus Cousins (SAC) – His shot wasn’t falling, 4-19 for 10 points.
Rashard Lewis (WAS) – A huge 45 minutes of action, 16pts/10reb/6ast.
Nick Young (WAS) – Got hot going 14-22 for 43 points. 7 of 10 from three.
John Wall (WAS) – He’s close to getting back in a groove after dealing with some injuries. This is probably your last chance to try and trade for him, 22pts/9ast.
Roy Hibbert (IND) – Continues to struggle with his shot, 4-12 for 8 points.
Darren Collison (IND) – Finally had the good game that his owners have desperately been waiting to see, 21pts/13ast/3stl. Maybe this is the start of a streak.
Andre Iguodala (PHI) – About the only good thing you can say about his performance last night was that at least he was on the court, 0-7 for 1 point in 33 minutes. Might be a good idea to leave him benched for a few games until he gets back in gameshape.
Jrue Holiday (PHI) – Close to another triple-double, 19pts/7reb/8ast.
Tim Duncan (SAS) – Contributed in every category against Minnesota, 16pts/8reb/2ast/2stl/3blk.
Kevin Love (MIN) – 20pts/20reb.
Michael Beasley (MIN) – Beasley was a gametime decision, but managed to play 33 minutes, although his shot was off, 3-11 for 7 points.
Martell Webster (MIN) – Minnesota’s 6th man with 25 minutes, 18pts/5reb.
Carmelo Anthony (DEN) – Good to see him bounce back and at least try to show that he still cares, 28pts/10reb.
Aaron Afflalo (DEN) – Hot shooting night, 11-14 for 31 points. If the Nuggets shake up their roster and lose Melo, Afflalo could really be a big winner.
Ty Lawson (DEN) – Another guy who could be a big winner if Chauncey Billups gets shipped out of Denver, 16pts/6reb/5ast.
Ronny Turiaf (NYK) – Very surprising game, 19pts/10reb on 8 of 9 shooting.
Marcus Camby (POR) – Camby took advantage of a weak NYK interior to pick up 16 rebounds and 6 blocks. His shot was off though, 0-6 for only 1 point.
Wes Matthews (POR) – Tough night shooting, 2-13, and he cost me several daily cash game losses. This was a great spot for him to produce a big line and he just didn’t come through.
Cleveland Cavaliers – 57 points for an entire NBA game? Oh, and they lost by 55. Cleveland, keep telling yourself you really don’t miss LeBron.
