Day 76 of 170: Ray Allen is a shooter

Line of the Night: Ray Allen (1.54) made 8 three-pointers en route to 36 points. He shot 78% from the field, and 100% from the line. Good thing, too, because Kevin Garnett (-0.49) was definitely The Biggest Loser. Garnett had 10 points and 11 rebounds, but went 3/16 (that’s 19%) and 4/6.

Honorable Mentions: Patrick called it yesterday when he said that Indiana v. Golden State would deliver on the order of 250 points. They delivered 237 points, including 42 from Danny Granger (1.34) – who also had 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks – and 32 from Jamal Crawford (0.85) – who added 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Granger and Crawford made all their free throws, going 14/14 and 8/8 respectively.

Andre Iguodala (0.80) looked like his old self last night with 26 points, 3 threes, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals. Welcome back!

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Jamario Moon (0.68) is pretty close seeing as he’s owned in 56% of Yahoo leagues. Moon had 15 and 7 with 3 blocks.

The next best choice would be Vladimir Radmanovic (0.66), who hadn’t been doing much since getting his starting position back, but came through yesterday with 18 points on 4 three-pointers, adding 7 rebounds, 2 steals, and a block. If he can do that again tomorrow, then he might be worth a pick up.

All Eyez On Me: Toronto now heads to Boston for the second of a home-and-home series. Maybe Kevin Garnett will help his team out a bit this time.

Portland’s frontcourt is looking at the Bulls today, so make sure you’ve got guys like LaMarcus Aldridge and Greg Oden in your lineup. Might be some easy pickings for Brando Roy, too.

New York plays at New Orleans, bringing their 98 possessions per game to the home of a team that only averages 86. Will the Knicks be able to push the Hornets to play at their pace?
