Give Me The Rock
this is fantasy basketball
Don’t Forget: Play GMTR’s Weekly Fantasy Game. This week it’s contest #96819. Invite code is: GMTR.
Line of the Night: Carlos Boozer (1.54) was injured? I hadn’t noticed. Boozer overfilled his red plastic cup with 34 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. The 76% from the field and 89% from the line is probably enough to get you love drunk off his humps.
Honorable Mentions: Mike Miller (1.32) had his first big game in a while with 19 points (3 threes), 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He beat out Boozer in one category by shooting 80% from the field. (Okay, yes, he also beat him in blocks)
Wilson Chandler (1.08) topped Boozer in Points with 35 points. His other numbers weren’t quite as impressive, but you can’t really argue with 2 steals and 2 blocks no matter what else is there.
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Donte Green (0.78) is probably someone you should pick up. His big minutes recently haven’t translated into good games on a consistent basis, but if you look at the 24 points (4 threes), 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and the steal from last night, well, he’s probably got more potential than at least one of the guys littering your bench.
The Biggest Loser: It’s kind of hard to pick on Chris Kaman (-0.69) when he had 19 points, 7 rebounds, and a block, but when BasketballMonster says he’s 3rd from the bottom (of 228 players!) it’s hard to ignore. How did he get so far down there? Well, he shot 36% from the field (certainly not fantasy friendly for the Big Ball teams for which he usually starts) and 64% from the line (with 14 attempts), and turned the ball over like a drunken booze cruiser 6 times.
All Eyez On Me: Another solid night of games tonight before the All Star Break (which means another good Weekly Fantasy Game).
In particular: The Lakers @ Utah (More Boozing it up!), Boston @ New Orleans (How’s Peja looking these days?), and Portland @ Phoenix (potential playoff matchup!).
The Golden Ticket: Besides the Phoenix/Portland game, the Clippers hold the Golden Ticket, playing tonight in Golden State. Also, Orlando is in Chicago, and with Joakim Noah resting and Tyrus Thomas “inactive”, expect Dwight Howard to put up some big numbers against a front line of Brad Miller and Chris Richard (can we really count Taj Gibson where Dwight Howard is concerned?).
