Line of the Night: I’m beginning to think that Basketball Monster is just crushing on Stephen Curry (1.22). Carmelo Anthony (1.08) may have thrown down 45 points on the Rockets, but it’s actually Curry with 29 points, 5 boards, 9 assists and 5 threes who had a better overall fantasy line. Curry currently sits on [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: Stephen Curry (1.79). On a night where Luis Scola (1.13) dropped 44 points on 20-25 shooting against the Nets, Curry’s fantasy line was still miles ahead of everyone else. Curry scored a not too shabby 35 points himself, going 5-7 from three with 6 boards, 10 assists and 4 steals as [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: Jeff Green (1.16). On a night when Kevin Durant (0.99) scored 32 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and set a franchise record with his 36th 30 point game this season (I’m going to assume the franchise lineage extends back to Seattle, which seems wrong in my opinion), Green actually had a even [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: Jason Kidd (1.31). Playing his former team in the Nets, Kidd finished with 20 points, 9 assists and 4 steals in 44 minutes on the court. He was also 5-8 from three in the game as the Mavs won 96-87. This brings up the interesting question, after being left for dead [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: Despite the season high 38 points for Manu Ginobili (1.39), the hurting Spurs lost a close game to the more hurting Cavs, 97-95. In additional to the great scoring game, Ginobili had 7 rebounds, 5 assists and was 7-11 from three. With Tony Parker expected to miss the next 6 weeks [...]
Read More..>>This week’s fantasy basketball roundtable was hosted by Brian Spencer of Empty the Bench. He wanted to know:
Who’s the biggest bust of last summer’s free-agent class, and what will it take for him to turn it around next season?
Joining the discussion this week are:
Brian Spencer: Empty the Bench
Tommy Beer: Hoopsworld
Ryan Lester: Lester’s Legends
Patrick Madden: [...]
Line of the Night: Lebron James (1.66). Who did you think it was going to be? LeBron dropped 40 in a Cavs win over the Pistons, adding 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 3 threes and 2 blocks. And in last night’s game, LeBron already became the Cavs franchise leader in minutes played, passing Zydrunas [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: Amar’e Stoudemire (1.42) led the way for the Suns in a 127-101 beat down over the Clippers. He finished the game 12-16 from the floor for 30 points, adding 14 rebounds and 3 blocks. Methinks there might be some kind of monetary incentive for Amar’e to play balls to the wall [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: You’d think Lebron James (0.63) would have this one in the bag with his Cavs destroying the Knicks last night 124-93. But the Cavs were so good that LeBron only had to play 31 minutes (although he did have a 22/7/7 in those minutes). Instead, last night belonged to Aaron Brooks [...]

Line of the Night /Waiver Wire Line of the Night: I was on the Nicolas Batum (1.68) bandwagen (it was assembled in Europe) right from the start when he [...]
