Line of the Night: Kevin Garnett (1.23) got a boost from an overtime game allowing him to get 20 rebounds to go with his 17 points, 4 assists, and 5 steals.

Honorable Mentions: Ray Allen (1.15) also had some fun with the overtime game making 7 three-pointers en route to 35 points. Jermaine O’Neal (1.11) didn’t need overtime to get 24 and 8 with 6 blocks. Take that, Marcus Camby! Chris Duhon (0.89) just wanted to remind everyone that he should probably be picked up in fantasy leagues around the world by scoring 25 points (3 threes) to go with 5 rebounds and 9 assists.

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Derek Fisher (0.77) came in at #6 overall last night and is still available in the GMTR Readers League (though not in the Monster League). D-Fish had 19 points on 3 threes to go with 5 steals. He did start for the Lakers, but played on 24 minutes, splitting time with Jordan Farmar.

The Biggest Loser: Now granted, the Lakers took it to Milwaukee last night, but Lamar Odom (-0.85) played only 22 minutes, going 1/3 from the field and 1/4 from the line. To his credit, he had 4 rebounds, a steal, and a block. Not that really helps diminish the impact of his 5 turnovers. I don’t dare to dig out what I wrote about him after it was announced that he’d be the 6th man for LA, but only because I’m fairly certain it was way too positive considering how things have turned out.

Of course, for an awful night from someone who’s actually averaging double-digits, you need to only look two spots farther up to find Michael Redd (-0.65), who shot 1/6 for 2 points. He had 2 rebounds and a steal in an attempt to offset his 3 turnovers.

All Eyez On Me: Houston at Memphis will be interesting with Yao matching up against Marc Gasol.

You’ve also got Dwight Howard going against 2-time LotN-er Marcus Camby.
