Give Me The Rock
this is fantasy basketball
Not only did the better team win each of the 4 games last night, but the guys you’d expect to top the fantasy charts were right there.
But first: Don’t Forget: Play GMTR’s Weekly Fantasy Game. I’ve set my roster this week, and it’s a goodie. Tons of potential value picks there!

Line of the Night: Dwyane Wade (1.00) pulled the Golden Ticket against Golden State with 35 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists, and 4 steals, while shooting 62.5% on 23 attempts. Hot hot heat!
Honorable Mentions: Kevin Durant (0.79) topped Wade with 39 points (including 1 three) and 10 rebounds, but only had 2 assists, 1 steal, and shot a mere 50% on 26 attempts. (Yes, one of the words in the previous sentence was sarcastic)
Pau Gasol (0.75) put up another double-double with 14 and 16.
Russell Westbrook (0.69) helped Durant and the Thunder come up with another win in the tight Western Conference playoff race with his 30 points (52.6% FG, 81.8% FT) and 13 assists.
Troy Murphy (0.61) got back to double-double territory with 17 and 13 (and 2 threes).
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: Jordan Farmar (0.55) came of the bench to score 19 points on 8-10 shooting with 3 threes. He’s inconsistent and shot too high a percentage for that to be more than a fluke, though.
CJ Watson (0.53) continues to put up solid numbers, and is only owned in 37% of Yahoo leagues. Watson had another 20 points and got 6 steals.
The Biggest Loser: Ben Gordon (-0.61) maintains a 77% ownership rate, despite having 25 points in his last 4 games. Yes, whilst Kevin Durant has scored 25+ in each of his last 3 games, BG7 has 25 points total in his last 4. Last night he was 2-8 from the field with 3 assists, 2 steals and 4 turnovers.
Danny Granger (-0.39) is a close second, though, because he’s owned in every league and – while he’s been playing well lately – last night he was 2-9 from the field and 4-6 from the line for 9 points, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 4 turnovers.
All Eyez On Me: Oklahoma City visits Denver in a potential first round playoff match-up. Kevin Durant vs. Carmelo Anthony is going to become epic if it isn’t already.
The Golden Ticket: Golden State heads to Orlando, so lets think about Dwight Howard’s rebound opportunities with all the extra possessions. Detroit is in New York, thought I’m not sure which team that helps more with respect to fantasy. Phoenix is still a fairly uptempo team and they’re going against the Clippers tonight, so keep that in mind for your GMTR FreeRoll picks.
