Day 105 of 170: There'll Beno Gas

Categorized as: Fantasy Basketball
Posted on: February 9th, 2009

Line of the Night: Beno Udrih (1.31) topped the 1.0 mark for probably the second time in his career (I totally made that up). His line isn’t all the spec-tack, but I guess when you make 4 threes while shooting 78% from the floor the Player Rater is going to give you a little love. Urdih also had 6 rebounds, 2 steals and a block, and didn’t turn the ball over at all. I suppose that last one helps a bit too.

Honorable Mentions: Right after I dropped him for Ramon Sessions, Greg Oden (0.90) goes for 17, 12 and 6 blocks. To quote Eminem, Thanks for the Support, A**hole.

Antawn Jamison (1.15) was strong than Danny Granger (0.90) and the Wizards actually won a game! Both made 4 threes, but Jamison had 34 points to Granger’s 29. There were some other fairly negligible differences.

Dwight Howard: 30 and 16.

And even though he’s only 11th on the list – Lamar Odom (0.74) beat the Cavs pretty much single-handedly with his 28 points and 17 rebounds. Can’t wait to see those two in the Finals (sorry, Patrick).

Waiver Wire Line of the Night: I guess that would be Beno, but really, I couldn’t call myself a fantasy basketball expert (not that I actually do) if I told you to pick him up.

So, let’s go with Matt Bonner (0.64). The Red Rocket is on a tear. You think his playing time is going to go down as the season goes on an Poppovich starts resting Tim Duncan more and more? Yeah, I didn’t either.

Rasual Butler (0.74) was actually higher than Bonner, and I’d probably take him over Beno Udrih… but still…

The Biggest Loser: Mike Dunleavy owners. Dunzo played only 3 minutes before he injured his knee, and it’s the same one that caused him to miss the first 34 games of the season.

In other news, as JVG put it: JJ Hickson, introduce yourself to Lamar Odom’s body. Odom schooled Hickson on the offensive board repeatedly, and while he’s only owned in 1% of leagues, I’m going to give it to him for putting up that kind of effort in a nationally-televised-NBA-Finals-preview game.

All Eyez On Me: Yesterday was the banner day for the NBA. Today… not so much. Watch at your own risk. Too bad Gossip Girl is a rerun…
