That title works a lot better if the Cavs had actually won yesterday, but it’s stuck in my head and I’m going to use it whether it makes sense or not.
Line of the Night/Day: LeBron James (8.8). When you take your vitamins, say your prayers, and make your free throws, good things will happen. Ok, maybe not winning actual basketball games, but you’ll make your fantasy owners happy.
Honorable Mentions: Kobe Bryant (7.8), Steve Nash (7.3), Ray Allen (6.9).
Waiver Wire Player of the Night: Damien Wilkins (3.3). Wilkins has found a role starting alongside Kevin Durant and looks like he’s become the third option on offense behind Durant and Chris Wilcox. Snatch him up if you’re looking for a guard who can score.
Goat of the Night: He’s probably not starting in many leagues, but I’m curious what Quentin Richardson (-6.7) was actually doing on the court for 30 minutes yesterday. 0 points, 0 for 2 shooting and 3 rebounds.
Dishonorable Mentions: Raja Bell (-4.8) and Peja Stojakovic (-4.9) both had horrible shooting nights. Bell shot 3 for 13 and Peja finished with 5 points on 1 for 10 shooting.
