No MVPs playing in Madison Square Garden last night, so there’s not a lot beyond Deron Williams.

Line of the Night: Deron Williams (1.19) returned to help Utah take down Dallas with 34 points (3 threes, 55% and 100%), 5 rebounds, and 12 assists.

Honorable Mentions: Kyle Korver (0.99) hit the radar with 20 and 9 on 4 three pointers. Troy Murphy (0.87) doubled up with 15 and 14.

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Willie Green (0.51) turned in the 7th best line of the night, scoring 23 points in 29 minutes, with 2 threes, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block and some good percentages. The 29 minutes on the floor were the most Green’s had in over a month, so there’s a reason he’s only owned in 3% of leagues.

Eddie House (0.47) made 4 three-pointers, so there’s that.

The Biggest Loser: While Louis Williams (-0.68) and Trevor Ariza (-0.51) were both lower ranked than today’s BL, but they’re only owned in about 30% of leagues, so the award goes to: TJ Ford (-0.44) who made 1 of 6 shots for 2 points. He did have 7 assists, so not all was lost. Just everything except assists.

All Eyez On Me: Deron Williams will play Sacramento, so there’s an opportunity there for back-to-back LotNs.

The Golden Ticket: Golden State will be in Phoenix tonight, so, Jason Richardson maybe? When they played a couple days ago, it was the Warriors who took advantage of their speedy play.

Boston is at New York tonight… so, your turn, Kevin Garnett. Whaddaya got?

Other Stuff Like This:

  • No confidence in the Jazz, UtesFan? Deron exploded for 34 and the Jazz squeaked out a win against the Kings.

    Of course, it was Webber’s jersey retirement night, which had to be bad karma for Sacramento.
  • No confidence in the Jazz on the road at the back-end of a back-to-back. I think that was our first road win in a month.

    As for Deron... totally lucky he was able to score, because he only had like 4 assists.
  • Back to back LoTNs? Haven't you heard how badly the Jazz do on the road? And how badly they do on back-to-backs? And tonight, it's a game after a late game last night.
  • Well, I'm sure I don't follow the Jazz as closely as someone named "UtesFan89" so I was not really aware of those things... That said, the Kings suck, and Deron dominated them. He was only 29th last night, but that was out of 167 players.
