Back to save your season?Leave your fantasy hoops questions in the comments section and I wll do my best to answer all of them.
LeBron James - If you started LeBron this week, congrats. You should be getting your superstar back in the lineup tonight against the Pistons. He’s a game-time decision but has practiced pretty much fully for 2 days straight. Yes, that gust of wind you just felt was a million owners’ sigh of relief.
Bonzi Wells/T-Mac/Luther Head - - Bonzi had a nice 24 and 10 line last night but more important to his value is that T-Mac went down (AGAIN) with an injury (sprained ankle). Luther Head went for 19 last night, but has a long way to go until he has legit value. Bonzi is worth a look though.
John Salmons - There was an internal debate yesterday in the office about whether someone should start a questionable Tim Duncan for 3 games or Salmons for 4 games. The Mambas (yes he has Kobe) went with Salmons and it paid serious dividends. Salmons went for 22 points, 5 dimes and even added 2 blocks. I’m not (and neither are the Mambas) a big fan of his overall game but he looked great last night.
Dorell Wright - I mean, can the kid stay out of the daily fantasy? One day after saying that the kid just doesn’t have the consistency to deserve to be picked up, he goes out and has his second nice game in the last three. The question is, can he keep it up and can Riley stick with him long enough to find out if he’s really legit? I still think it’s questionable whether he’ll have any real value but the talent is there so if you have the room, take a shot.
Travis Outlaw/Channing Frye/LaMarcus Aldridge - LaMarcus is done for the week and if Travis Outlaw’s stock wasn’t high enough, the kid’s daily touches just doubled. Expect big points and board numbers from Outlaw for the rest of the week. If you’re in a daily league, both Channing Frye and Joel Przybilla could be decent pick ups.

Should I try to sell high on outlaw? Maybe Mcgrady and Outlaw for Josh Smith?

fiyaman says:
i got J.Smith and he’s ballin and I want T-mac but I wouldnt trade either for the other and I think Tmac and Outlaw is 2 much for Smith.
That said Smith is a Stud.

The Fantasy Doctor says:
I kind of like that deal. I think it’s really hard to win with T-Mac.

thanks doc,
in another L of mine i am pretty serviceable at the point and have pretty good depth at C. here is my team (point guards and center eligible players)…
Hinrich
Andre Miller
Daniel Gibson
Antonio Daniels
Anthony Carter
Carlos Boozer
Andrew Bynum
Samuel Dalembert
Chris Wilcox
Andray Blatche
Elton Brand (when he’s back)
I’m currently in second place in the L, but i’m 6 games back of first and i lost to the first place team 8-6 last week. I seem to struggle in assists (sometimes), blks and 3’s. I’m looking to improve here…
What do you think about me swinging KG, rondo and bynum to a buddy in my L for Granger, G Wallace and Chris Bosh? Seem like a good deal for me or not? Sorry this was so long, but it’s a pretty big deal.

The Fantasy Doctor says:
Chris Kaman - I don’t like that deal for you. Any deal that you trading KG better have you getting more than that. Plus Rondo is more than servicable at this point.
lbj23 - eh. Gasol just isn’t doing anything for me right now.
AT2 - I would stick with Duncan probably. Camby will probably play 65 games. Duncan probably gives you 72-75.
DWade - pretty good deal though I like Al Jefferson a lot.
Chris Kaman - tough call. I just don’t trust Dorell Wright yet.
MSkittle - No.

Joe says:
Hey Doc I know I’m stupid for even asking the question but someone has to. Any chance Larry Hughes has turned the corner? I’m laughing as I even type that. Here is what is available in my league I could use FG%, FT% and asts, but this early in the season I just want the best player overall. Who do you like?
