Line of the Night: Larry Hughes (6.59!!) beat down everyone last night, in fantasy terms. He only missed 4 shots (which, I suppose could be bad thing if he only took 4 shots), made 5 threes, and added the ever-important 3 steals and 2 blocks. The 36 points didn’t hurt either.

Honorable Mentions: Chauncey Billups came through with a 5.80, powered by 14 assists and 12/12 from the free throw line. Kirk Hinrich deserves a mention since he finally had a Hinrich kind of night, with 15 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. Of course, the Bulls were playing the Sonics, and won by 27 points, so I’m not putting him back in my lineup just yet.

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Matt Bonner threw up a 4.74 for 3rd best fantasy rating of the night. He made 3 threes and had 17 rebounds in place of Tim Duncan, and is eligible at C in Yahoo leagues. For those with daily lineup changes, he’s probably worth picking up. If you’re in a weekly league, he might be worth taking a flier on in case Duncan is not back in action soon.

Rise With Us: Martell Webster (4.37) also only missed 4 shots last night, and also made 5 threes last night (see also: Larry Hughes). Not much else from him, but that kind of efficiency was enough to make it the 6th best performance last night. You have to wonder when he’s going to just break out and start ballin.

Goat of the Night: Andrea Bargnani (0.91) only missed 4 shots last night. He did actually only take 4 shots, though. Of course, it was his first game back and he only played 12 minutes, so I guess I can’t fault him too much. I really just wanted the missing 4 shots to carry through.
