Memphis just doesn’t realize it.

Line of the Night: Chris Paul (6.8). While his game score is not quite as dominating as Kobe’s performance the other night, Chris Paul’s line towers above the competition: 40 points on 17 of 25 shooting, 5 threes, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, and 5 steals as the Hornets whooped the Grizzlies 116 to 98. Paul is now averaging 37 points a game against Memphis this season and 20 against everyone else.

Honorable Mentions: Marcus Camby (4.4) gets some GMTR love for pulling a triple double the hard way. 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 blocks! You won’t be seeing LeBron or Jason Kidd doing that; Gerald Wallace (4.6) scored 32 with 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 6 threes. Hedo Turkoglu (4.8) had 26 with 3 threes, and according to my calculator, shot 66.6666667% on the night.

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Roger Mason (4.7). Give me a second here. Hmmm. Roger Mason. Roger. Mason. Nope, I have no idea who he is. This is embarrassing.

Alright, according to various informational sources, Mason is a 6-5 guard who has been in the league for parts of 4 seasons going back to 2002. He is currently with the Wizards and thanks to injuries to both Gilbert Arenas and Antonio Daniels, he’s starting at the point for the Wizards. Yesterday’s Washington/Charlotte match up featured 46 minutes of Mason, who used all that time to score 24 points off 6 threes and 9 for 16 shooting. He also added 5 rebounds and 5 assists. It’s his second decent game in a row as well as his second game going 40+ minutes, however, his role is likely to be short lived as Daniels is expected back sometime next week.

Goat of the Night: I’ve added a keyboard shortcut to help me write this section: ALT + E + C + SUCK automatically adds Eddy Curry’s (1.4) name here. His latest line included a start where he played a total of 5 minutes, and not because of injury. Give it up to Isiah Thomas, just when you think you’ve seen everything, he pulls something totally new out of his sleeve. I’ll plan to lay off Curry in future GotNs, not because I feel bad for him, but because he doesn’t have any fantasy value rat the moment.

Dishonorable Mentions: There were a bunch of horrible shooting performances on the night as well: Jason Terry (1.5) was 0 for 10 from the field; Andres Nocioni (1.5) was 1 for 11; Kelenna Azubuike (1.8) was 1 of 8; Bobby Simmons (1.8) took advantage of his first start by shooting 1 of 7; Danny Granger (1.8) was 3 of 10; Yi Jianlian was 2 of 11; Michael Redd (2.2) was 1 of 8; and Brad Miller (2.3) was 2 of 11. I’m sure I’m missing someone, so please comment about anyone else who killed your fantasy team with their shooting percentage last night.
