Line of the Night: Baron Davis (4.6). Golden State is now 0-5, but that’s not B-Diddy’s fault. Ok he did miss a three at the end of the game that would have tied the score – but the Warriors wouldn’t have even been in that position if it wasn’t for his 37 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 three-pointers.

Honorable Mentions: Rasheed Wallace (4.2), Caron Butler (4), and Tyrus Thomas (4.0).

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Kelenna Azubuike (2.2) may already be taken in a lot of leagues, but his night – 27 points, 11 rebounds, and two threes – is too good to pass up. Azubuike has now gone off in two of the Warriors five games and been serviceable in the two others. His game is going to be affected when Steven Jackson comes back, but he’ll probably still be worth a bench spot in a lot of leagues.

For deeeep leagues, we’ll give this one to Brandon Bass (0.3). To be honest, I had to look him up alphabetically I didn’t even know what team he played for. Dallas as it turns out. Bass scored 10 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in 32 minutes. I’m not actually recommending you pick him up, just giving the man his due.

Goat of the Night: Monta Ellis (-6.0). In 47 minutes, Ellis scored 12 points on 4 for 15 shooting. He did have 7 assists, so it could have been worse, but it’s still not pretty.

Dishonorable Mention: T. Prince (-6.0)

Other Stuff Like This:

  • I'm with Patrick re: Jameer. I see a lot more potential there.

    I'm a big believe that Prince will turn it around, but since you seem to be looking to get rid of him, I think Bonzi is a decent pick up. If he can keep it together the whole season, he's capable of doing 15-18 points a game with a few rebounds and assists.
  • tone, it's a toss-up on Jameer Nelson and Jason Williams. Both are in similar spots on the player rater, both have a tendency to get hurt (although Williams more so). I'd probably go with Nelson cause he's more consistent and Williams will likely see less time on the court when Dwyane Wade gets back. But just go with who you like more.

    Nels might disagree with me on this, but if you want Wells, go and grab him. Wells is playing under Rick Adelman, who he was with in Sacramento when Wells put up a very good year two years ago. Just be prepare to drop him when/if he goes down with an injury, which is likely.

    But instead of dropping Prince, you could probably include him as part of a trade. Prince has value. Try the old two-for-two trade where you trade Prince and some other mid-rounder for a very good player and a crappy player that you'll drop afterwards.
  • tone
    im thinking of dropping prince for bonzi wells. what do u guys think
  • tone
    jameer nelson or jason williams?
  • Marty-mar
    Monta is quicker than Barbosa. He is also a turnover machine with very little court vision. Brandon Bass will be very ownable before the all-star break arrives. He is in spectacular shape. Avery is missing an opportunity to toughen his team up if he can't get Bass any minutes.
