Give Me The Rock
this is fantasy basketball
Don’t Forget: Today is Wednesday, which means Give Me The Rock’s Weekly Fantasy Contest. It’s called a FreeRoll (contest #95720 – code: GMTR). I have yet to win one, but I’m not going to stop trying.
Line of the Night: You have to wonder if Kevin Durant (1.33) is thinking that he can take over Chris Paul as the future of fantasy basketball. The 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 steals (9-18 from the field, 14-14 from the line) gives him his 2nd Line of the Night in 2 games. He even beat out LeBron James’ (0.99) 22, 6, and 15 (also 50% from the field and 100% from the line). Which one do you think is going to get the All Star MVP award? You know it’s going to come down to a 3-point bombing contest if the game is close.
Honorable Mentions: Besides LeBron, Chris Bosh (0.97) had 35 and 15, but the Raptors got eaten up by the Pacers. Marcus Camby (0.96) had 11 and 9 adding 4 steals and 4 blocks. When you’re that good at it, it’s got to be pretty fun to just play defense and not have to worry about doing anything else on the court.
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Courtney Lee (0.85) is owned in 45% of leagues, so technically he qualifies, but he probably won’t be available in most competitive leagues. Lee had 15 points, 3 threes, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals.
Jason Williams (0.74) – yes, White Chocolate himself – is only owned in 8% of leagues, so he’s probably available to you if you like his 11 points, 2 threes, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. Of course, that’s easily his best game in 2 weeks, so, he’s kind of a risky pick up.
The Biggest Loser: Zach Randolph (-0.45) finally had a bad game (it’s been a while – his last game in single digit points was November), and he fell hard: 8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 steals, 5 turnovers and 3-14 from the field. If you can swing a trade for him before the Grizzlies next game, get him while his value is down because I’m sure he’s going to be back to double-doubles in a second.
All Eyez On Me: To help you out with the FreeRoll contest… Here’s what I’m thinking: San Antonio @ Sacramento means big numbers for the Spurs. Chicago and Philadelphia is another game with pretty decent offenses and fairly porous defenses (though supposedly the Bulls defense is actually pretty good).
The Golden Ticket: And of course, you’ve got a whole bunch of fast-paced Golden Ticket games tonight including: Washington @ New York, Golden State @ Dallas, and Phoenix @ Denver. And supposedly, Carmelo Anthony is going to be back tonight.
