Line of the Night: Baron Davis (5.6). A triple-double for B-Diddy last night (33/11/15). He also chipped in 5 threes for good measure. As a first time Baron Davis owner (I’ve always avoided him in the past) it’s been a fun ride so far this year, although I’m just counting down to the inevitable ankle injury halfway through the season.
Honorable Mentions: Dwight Howard (5.4), Shawn Marion (5.2), Caron Butler (5.0), Shaquille O’Neal (4.5), Marcus Camby (4.5).
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Antoine Walker (4.1). I’d never thought I’d use the words “Antoine Walker†and “Line of the Night†in the same sentence and yet here we are only 25 days into the season. Walker scored 24 on 9 for 17 shooting (over 50%!) and added 4 threes. Not surprisingly, the Wolves lost to the Nuggets 99 to 93. In other Minnesota news, Ryan Gomes (3.8) scored 18 and hit 4 threes in 24 minutes.
Goat of the Night: Leandro Barbosa (1.6). It’s been a rollercoaster ride for Barbosa owners this season. The only thing you can due is stick him in your lineup and take the 6 points games with the 39 point ones. Barbosa was 2 for 10 from the field last night with the aforementioned 6 points and added 1 rebound and 2 assists.
Dishonorable Mentions: Gerald Wallace (1.5) left last nights game after the first quarter due to an injury, but it still hurts from a fantasy perspective.
