(Almost) Daily Fantasy
Maybe all JR needed was a little motivation.Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Leave your fantasy problems in the comments box and I’ll do my best to help anyway I can.
JR Smith – As soon as JR Smith received the DNP-CD the other night I said it has to be some sort of punishment. Nothing really came out about it until last night, but sure enough Smith was benched for skipping a practice. He came back motivated and had his best game of the season dropping 32 in the Nuggets loss to the Hornets.
Tyson Chandler – Props to Tyson and fam for giving birth to a baby boy. Great for Tyson, bad for fantasy owners. Chandler is questionable for tonight’s game and missed last night’s Turkey day game against the Nuggets.
Udonis Haslem – Watch Haslem’s minutes carefully over the next week or so. Haslem has been playing out of position at the center spot and the Heat are about to get Jamaal Magloire back. Desperate for a defensive presence in the middle, we expect that Magloire will steal quality minutes from Haslem.
Jermaine O’Neal – JO looks good to go for tonight’s game. O’Neal seems determined to play a career high in games this season.
Allen Iverson – AI skipped Thursday’s practice (PRACTICE!) and will come off the bench tonight. Stuckey will get the start and there is a chance AI could get the JR Smith treatment and not play at all.
Stephon Marbury – Steph is either going to get sent home with pay, suspended, or waived. Our guess is sent home until the new year when he’ll take a small buyout.
Anthony Johnson – Johnson did a nice job running the offense last night for the Magic and dropped a nice 12 dimes in Orlando’s win. He’s a one week pick up at best.

Mikey B says:
9 cat roto, i just traded Emeka Okafor and TJ Ford for David West and going to pick up either Varrejo,Blatche, or McGee.
Who would you suggest Haslem is my second centre right now, and what do you think of the trade?
Or do I just pickup Arenas and hope he comes back soon.

What’s going on with Mike Miller? He barely gets any shot attempts anymore. Should I try to trade him, and for who?

Fantasy Doctor says:
Lakeshow,
Steph probably ends up taking a million dollar buyout if he’s offered it. That sort of seems where it was headed but the Knicks wanted 3 to 5 mil.
Vago, good deal for you.
Smackdown – I trust Brook Lopez the most of those three.
Mikey B – if you can pick up Gil and don’t NEED another guy right now, do it.
Jwest – tough call. Who else on your squad qualifies at center?
Lou – It isn’t that easy of a call at all. You lose blocks and Duncan is the best of the three players. I like trading Augustin high though. You’re in first. You’ll always be able to trade Duncan if he’s healthy. Don’t pull it right now. People disagree?
WIlson – no. anyone else to cut?
