Parker sprains ankle against Portland Parker sprains ankle against Portland Updated 11/7/2009
Tony Parker, PG SA
News: Spurs PG Tony Parker injured his ankle on Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Parker scored four points on 1 of 4 shooting over 11:25 on the court before spraining the ankle. With 2:36 left in the first half, Parker appeared to come down awkwardly, called timeout and left the floor for the locker room. He did not return. Analysis: Parker is averaging 14.8 points per game this season and had scored at least 21 points in his previous two games before the injury. His assist numbers could be a bit higher but he remains worth starting at all times in Fantasy. That said, Parker becomes a big Fantasy injury risk for Week 3 (Nov. 9-15).
Martin to miss two months Martin to miss two months Updated 11/6/2009
Kevin Martin, SG SAC
News: Sacramento Kings leading scorer Kevin Martin will be sidelined for about two months after deciding to undergo surgery on his injured wrist. The team said Friday that Martin will have the operation on his left wrist on Monday and is expected to miss at least eight weeks. Martin has a non displaced hairline fracture of the navicular bone in his wrist. Analysis: Martin is averaging 30.6 points a game for the Kings. The surgery, as reported Thursday, will involve having a screw inserted to stabilize the bone. It will sideline him through at least early January. Beno Udrih is likely to step into the starting lineup and both he and rookie Tyreke Evans should enjoy the most direct Fantasy boost.
Freak injury: Thomas out 4-6 weeks Freak injury: Thomas out 4-6 weeks Updated 11/6/2009
Tyrus Thomas, PF CHI
News: The Chicago Bulls announced Friday that Bulls forward Tyrus Thomas suffered a fractured radius of his left forearm during a weight training session Friday morning at practice. X-rays confirmed the injury and he will undergo surgery Saturday. Thomas is expected to be out four to six weeks. His absence should create more minutes for Taj Gibson at power forward as well as more minutes for Joakim Noah and Brad Miller. Analysis: In four games (three starts) this season, Thomas averaged 8.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg and 1.75 bpg in 21.0 mpg. Fantasy owners will have no choice but to stash him away where possible as he'll be out until possibly mid-to-late December. Gibson has played well in the preseason and early on in the regular season and is a great addition off the waiver wire. Miller and Noah should see subtle increases in their production as well.
Scola on double-double streak Scola on double-double streak Updated 11/7/2009
Luis Scola, PF HOU
News: Houston PF Luis Scola recorded his third straight double-double on Friday night in a win over the Thunder. Scola dropped 19 points and ripped down 10 rebounds. He shot 8 of 13 from the field and had three assists. Analysis: Scola is averaging 13.5 points and 9.8 rebounds on the season but has at least 10 boards in four of his last five games since beginning the season with four boards at Portland. Scola should continue to have high-end Fantasy value with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady out. He's worth using in almost all Fantasy leagues.
Westbrook pours in 33 points Westbrook pours in 33 points Updated 11/7/2009
Russell Westbrook, PG OKC
News: Oklahoma City PG Russell Westbrook erupted for 33 points on Friday in a loss at Houston. Westbrook, who has been scoring well but not hitting any threes and turning the ball over, hit one three and turned it over four times in the game. He shot 14 of 25 from the field and added five rebounds and seven assists. Analysis: Westbrook is averaging 18.4 points, 5.4 boards, 7.8 assists and over a steal per game thus far this season in five contests. That said, he's also turning the ball over 5.2 times per game and is just 1 of 10 from long range. Westbrook will fix what is ailing him and the positives are still outweighing the negatives. Continue to use him in most Fantasy leagues.
Flynn has first 20-point game Flynn has first 20-point game Updated 11/7/2009
Jonny Flynn, PG MIN
News: Minnesota PG Jonny Flynn continues to set career highs as his rookie season takes off. Flynn scored a career-high 20 points on Friday in a loss to Milwaukee. Flynn shot 9 of 17 from the field but missed all three threes he attempted. He added four rebounds and three steals. The steals were also a new career high. Analysis: Flynn is averaging almost 15 points per game after his first six NBA games. He's shooting almost 51 percent from the field and getting almost 30 minutes per night. He's worth using as a No. 4 Fantasy G already and has the upside for more.
Ridnour has first double digit effort Ridnour has first double digit effort Updated 11/7/2009
Luke Ridnour, PG MIL
News: Milwaukee PG Luke Ridnour saw his first game of 2009 with over 20 minutes on the court as he used 22 minutes to score 16 points on 6 of 9 shooting. Ridnour hit two threes en route to his season high for points. He added two boards, an assist and a steal. Analysis: Ridnour is averaging 16 minutes per night over his first four games and is scoring 7.5 points with 1.2 boards and 1.5 assists. He really only has very limited Fantasy value until his minutes stay up consistently.
Duhon fails to score at Garden Duhon fails to score at Garden Updated 11/7/2009
Chris Duhon, PG NY
News: Knicks PG Chris Duhon was dismal shooting the basketball on Friday night in a loss to Cleveland at the Garden. Duhon was 0 for 6 from the field and failed to score over 39 minutes in the game. Duhon did dish out eight assists and pick up two steals. Analysis: Duhon is averaging 7.0 assists per game which saves him from the 8.5 points he's averaging over almost 40 minutes a night. Duhon will have his ups and downs this season for Mike D'Antoni's high-scoring offense. Still, he's more of a No. 2 Fantasy PG.
Paul dishes out 18 assists Paul dishes out 18 assists Updated 11/7/2009
Chris Paul, PG NO
News: Hornets PG Chris Paul registered 18 assists on Friday in a loss to Toronto. Paul added 21 points. Analysis: Paul is averaging 28.5 points and 9.8 assists per game this season. That alone keeps him a No. 1 Fantasy PG.
Posey drops single point Posey drops single point Updated 11/7/2009
James Posey, SF NO
News: New Orleans SF James Posey scored one point on Friday in a loss to Toronto. Posey played 16 minutes and did not attempt a shot from the field. He added one assist. Analysis: Posey didn't do much of anything on Friday. He's averaging 17 minutes per game this season but just 1.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists to go with it. Leave him on waivers in all but the deepest of Fantasy leagues.
Armstrong does little on Friday Armstrong does little on Friday Updated 11/7/2009
Hilton Armstrong, PF NO
News: Hornets C Hilton Armstrong played 17 minutes against the Raptors on Friday and scored seven points. Armstrong shot 2 of 4 from the field and added six rebounds and an assist. Analysis: Armstrong is averaging 15 minutes per game this season and is turning that into 3.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per night. Leave him on waivers in all Fantasy leagues.
Jack plays well against Hornets Jack plays well against Hornets Updated 11/7/2009
Jarrett Jack, PG TOR
News: Toronto PG Jarrett Jack played 24 minutes off the bench on Friday in a win over the Hornets. Jack scored nine points on 3 of 9 shooting with two threes. He added three dimes. Analysis: Jack is averaging 26 minutes per game this season and that comes with 7.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists. Jack can become useful, especially as a handcuff to Jose Calderon, but is mainly a low-end Fantasy option.
Calderon solid against Hornets Calderon solid against Hornets Updated 11/7/2009
Jose Calderon, PG TOR
News: Toronto PG Jose Calderon scored 16 points on Friday in a win at New Orleans. Calderon added eight assists, four rebounds and went 2 of 4 from downtown. He shot 6 of 11 overall in the game. Analysis: Calderon hasn't seen double digits in assists since the season opener. He is averaging 11 points, 2.4 rebound and 5.8 assists per game as a starter for the Raptors. He remains a No. 1 Fantasy PG.
Turkoglu playing well for Raptors Turkoglu playing well for Raptors Updated 11/7/2009
Hedo Turkoglu, SF TOR
News: Toronto SF Hedo Turkoglu scored 16 points for the second straight game on Friday in a win at New Orleans. Turkoglu shot 6 of 14 from the field and hit four threes on Friday. He added four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block. Analysis: Turk is averaging 15.4 points per game with the Raptors thus far but is getting more and more comfortable with his new surroundings. Turkoglu will score more as he continues to develop within the Raptors offense. He remains a high-end Fantasy option.
Bosh perfect 9 for 9 from field Bosh perfect 9 for 9 from field Updated 11/7/2009
Chris Bosh, PF TOR
News: Toronto PF Chris Bosh went 9 for 9 on field goals on Friday in a win at New Orleans to score 27 points. He went 1 for 1 from three-point range and grabbed seven rebounds with a block. Analysis: Bosh is averaging 29 points and 11.8 rebounds per game this season for the Raptors and that comes with a block per night as well. He's 4 for 4 from three-point range in five games this season as well. He is easily a No. 1 Fantasy option for use at all times in Fantasy.
Arroyo playing limited minutes Arroyo playing limited minutes Updated 11/7/2009
Carlos Arroyo, PG MIA
News: Miami PG Carlos Arroyo continued to see around 14-15 minutes of action per night for the Heat as they beat Denver on Friday. Arroyo played 14:15 in the game and scored four points on 2 of 3 shooting. He added an assist. Analysis: Arroyo is averaging just 4.2 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game over 14 minutes a night this season for Miami. He has low-end Fantasy appeal, at best, until he sees greater minutes.
Beasley fails to drop double figures Beasley fails to drop double figures Updated 11/7/2009
Michael Beasley, PF MIA
News: Miami PF Michael Beasley suffered his first game of under double digits in scoring on Friday as he scored seven points in 31 minutes in a win over the Nuggets. Beasley shot 3 of 8 from the field and hit a three. He added three rebounds, two steals and an assist. Analysis: Beasley had scored at least 10 points in every game this season and still averages 12 for the year with 5.7 rebounds. He's not yet playing like a No. 3 Fantasy forward but that is where his value currently lies.
Bell finds rhythm against Hawks Bell finds rhythm against Hawks Updated 11/7/2009
Raja Bell, SG CHA
News: Charlotte SG Raja Bell struggled in his first game of the season after missing the first three games with a partially torn ligament in his left wrist. Bell shot 1 of 8 against the Nets and scored just three points in 28 minutes. He was much better in his second game on Friday against Atlanta. Bell played 30 minutes and shot 9 of 12 with five threes to score a game-high 24 points. He added four assists. Analysis: Bell certainly didn't seem affected by the wrist on Friday. With two games played and two very different outcomes, we're hoping the Bell that showed up Friday will be more like what we can expect out of him. Bell would be worth adding off waivers if he can prove he can play consistently at this level.
Anthony drops 30 on Heat Anthony drops 30 on Heat Updated 11/7/2009
Carmelo Anthony, SF DEN
News: Denver SF Carmelo Anthony continued to score at a high level on Friday in a loss at Miami. Anthony scored 30 points on 12 of 22 shooting. He added eight rebounds, two assists and a steal. Analysis: Anthony is averaging almost 32 points per game thus far for the Nuggets with 6.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists. He is a must-start Fantasy option as always.
Garnett has season-high 26 points Garnett has season-high 26 points Updated 11/7/2009
Kevin Garnett, PF BOS
News: Boston PF Kevin Garnett had a season-high 26 points for Boston - the most he's scored since missing the end of the 2008-09 season and the playoffs with strained ligaments in his right knee - on Friday night in a loss to the Suns. Garnett shot 13 of 20 from the field and added eight rebounds, four assists and two steals. Analysis: Garnett had a previous season high of 16 points but exploded for a game that reminded us of the KG of old. Garnett might now average over 20 points per game this season, however, and owners shouldn't expect to see this type of production consistently.
