Dec 1st
Allen Iverson apparently was offered a contract by the Sixers. “A person with knowledge of the contract talks says the Sixers offered a one-year, non-guaranteed contract to Iverson on Tuesday.” Associated Press reported the news this afternoon, though there is no official word yet from either Iverson or the Sixer’s side.
Elton Brand
Nov 25th
Looks like Elton Brand will sit out tonight’s game. He’s out with a sore right hamstring. He’s listed as day-to-day.
Danny Granger
Nov 25th
Danny Granger won’t play tonight due to a sprained left MCL. This injury might cause him to be out for a few games. Tyler Hansbrough is the most direct beneficiary of this injury and Dahntay Jones will probably get a few extra minutes as well. Jeff Foster might also come in and play some PF while Granger is out.
Allen Iverson
Nov 25th
Allen Iverson may have finally hung his hat. AI’s personal mgr Gary Moore tells Y! Sports AI is retiring. This is very sad news for NBA fans and Fantasy Basketball fans. We still feel AI has a few more good years ahead of him and is finally healthy. But it’s a long season and who knows what injury to what PG/SG in the NBA may cause Iverson to come out of retirement.
Tyreke Evans
Nov 25th
Tyreke Evans has a sprained ankle and may be out today against New York. He’s listed as questionable but our guess is that the Kings will rest him today.
Lou Williams
Nov 25th
Lou Williams is out today with a broken jaw. Jrue Holiday is expected to start in his place tonight.
Elton Brand
Nov 25th
Elton Brand is still listed as a game-time decision tonight. He left last night’s game with a sore right hamstring. Considering that Elton Brand is a trooper, we expect him to give it a go tonight.
Dahntay Jones
Nov 25th
Dahntay Jones came off the bench last game for Indiana. He had 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting, 0 rebounds, and 4 assists. It looks like he’s the early casualty of Troy Murphy’s return. Brandon Rush has a tenuous hold of the starting position and if he falters, look for Jones to take over the starting spot.
Kobe Bryant
Nov 25th
Kobe Bryant had a monster night with 34 points on 14-of-20 shooting, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. A very nice all-around game for Kobe and an easy win for the Lakers. The Lakers look almost unbeatable since the return of Pau Gasol.
Kevin Garnett
Nov 25th
Kevin Garnett was recently kicked in the knee. He was also limping on Sunday’s game against New York. “His surgery has healed, but he’s had discomfort in his shins,” Danny Ainge explained. “KG wouldn’t be playing right now if he wasn’t confident. And he wouldn’t be playing if he was hurt.”
Danny Granger
Nov 25th
Danny Granger scored 36 points, hit 7 threes, grabbed 9 rebounds and dished out 5 assists. A nice all-around game for Granger who has played every game and has never scored less than 18 points in a game so far this year.
Monta Ellis
Nov 25th
Monta Ellis continues rack up stats notching a season-high 37 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals. He did, however, turn the ball over 11 times. He’ll continue to see 40+ minutes per game and get lines like this on a regular basis while the injured Warriors recover.
Elton Brand
Nov 24th
Elton Brand left in the 3rd Quarter of Tuesday’s game with a sore right hamstring. He’s listed as day-to-day and will be evaluated after the game. He had an off night hitting only 1-of-9 shots for 4 points and 7 rebounds tonight.
Jarrett Jack
Nov 24th
Jarrett Jack had a perfect shooting night hitting 7-of-7 shots, 3-of-3 from 3PT land for 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. It’ll be interesting to see how long it’ll take the coach to give him a shot at the starting job over rookie DeMar DeRozan.
Chris Douglas-Roberts
Nov 24th
Chris Douglas-Roberts was plagued by foul trouble tonight scoring only 4 points on 1-of-6 shooting. The return of Devin Harris and Courtney is obviously going to hurt CDR’s production but we still feel he will be a healthy contributor to your fantasy team. If you can sell high on him, do so now while CDR’s nights of 27, 31, and 24 point games are still fresh on people’s minds.
Rafer Alston
Nov 24th
Rafer Alston played well tonight scoring 19 points on 7-of-14 shooting. He also dished out 3 assists and added 2 steals. It doesn’t appear he’ll stay in the starting lineup much longer with Devin Harris and Courtney Lee both back from injury.
Chauncey Billups
Nov 24th
Chauncey Billups had a slow night hitting only 1-of-8 shots but did grab 4 rebounds and dish out 7 assists. He played only 28 minutes as the Nuggets cruised to a
Mehmet Okur
Nov 24th
Mehmet Okur is expected to start Tuesday against the Thunder. He’s been out sick with flu-like symptoms (and no, it’s not H1N1).
Manu Ginobili
Nov 24th
Manu Ginobili is out for Wednesday’s game and will probably miss Friday’s game as well. Barring any setbacks, it looks like he’ll make his return on Sunday as we previously speculated.
