Weekend Wonder: Kobe Bryant averaged 25 points, 3 threes, 7 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 3.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in two games this weekend. He shot 51 percent (19-37) from the field and 75 percent (6-8) from the line during this span. The Lakers are healthy and blowing out opponents on a regular basis, but Kobe remains an all-around fantasy stud no matter how many minutes he plays.

Noteworthy Lines:
Carmelo Anthony (11/27) – 17-28 FG (61%), 15-16 FT (94%), 1 3ptm, 50 Pts, 6 Reb, 5 Ast, 3 TO; If you haven’t heard about this line yet, you’ve eaten too much turkey. ‘Melo is ruining opponents this season and continues to please his fantasy owners.

Mike Dunleavy (11/27) – 4-7 FG (57%), 4-4 FT (100%), 1 3ptm, 13 Pts, 2 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk; This was his first game back and he played 16 minutes in a blowout loss. His minutes will be limited but if he ever does play 30+ minutes a game, look for Dunleavy to produce big numbers.

Al Harrington (11/27) – 14-24 FG (58%), 9-13 FT (69%), 4 3ptm, 41 Pts, 10 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Stl, 2 Blk, 1 TO; He threw up a clunker the next game, which pretty much sums up his value this season.

Carlos Boozer (11/28) – 11-16 FG (69%), 4-6 FT (67%), 26 Pts, 12 Reb, 7 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 3 TO; The maligned power forward has been a beast lately and is putting up top-12 numbers this past month. It’s hard to blame owners for selling high on him, but it doesn’t look like this is a fluke.

Marc Gasol (11/29) – 13-18 FG (72%), 26 Pts, 5 Reb, 6 Ast, 3 Stl, 3 Blk, 3 TO; He can’t miss lately and is putting up great all-around numbers this season. There isn’t any reason why he can’t sustain this pace, save for the risk of burning out, but it’s understandable if skeptical owners want to sell high on him.

Eric Gordon (11/29) – 10-18 FG (56%), 8-8 FT (100%), 1 3ptm, 29 Pts, 5 Reb, 5 Ast, 1 Stl, 4 TO; This was his best game since his return and Gordon seems ready to be a fantasy stud again.

Kendrick Perkins (11/29) – 4-6 FG (67%), 6-11 FT (55%), 14 Pts, 13 Reb, 1 Ast, 3 Blk, 1 TO; He’s quietly piecing together a solid season despite Kevin Garnett’s return. You know you’ll get boards and blocks from Perkins, but he’s scoring more than last season too.

Rashard Lewis (11/29) – 8-15 FG (53%), 5-5 FT (100%), 5 3ptm, 26 Pts, 8 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Blk, 2 TO; Of course he’d find his shot against the Knicks. Start him with confidence.

Andre Iguodala (11/29) – 7-18 FG (39%), 6-8 FT (75%), 1 3ptm, 21 Pts, 8 Reb, 7 Ast, 5 Stl, 3 Blk, 4 TO; This was a bit of everything, good and bad, but Iggy should continue to be a beast while the Sixers’ point guard situation is unresolved. If another A.I. walks into town, expect his scoring to dip but his other stats to hold relatively steady.

Waiver Wire Appeal:
Nick Young – will get minutes and produce while Mike Miller is out

Antonio McDyess – starting center job now his, should be good for boards and blocks

Luke Ridnour – not consistent, but his good games are really good

Martell Webster – minutes are safe with Travis Outlaw sidelined, but consistency still an issue

Jamaal Tinsley – outplaying Mike Conley, could eventually take the starting point guard job

Ersan Ilyasova – maintaining his strong play, should be great while Andrew Bogut and Michael Redd recover

Sergio Rodriguez – showing signs of relevance

Injuries:
Redd (knee): will get more rest, DNPs

Charlie Villanueva (nose): will have surgery, questionable for Wednesday

Luis Scola (eye): got poked early last night, monitor his status – has never missed a game

Danny Granger (knee): didn’t practice Saturday but expects to play tonight

Peja Stojakovic (personal): could return Tuesday

Elton Brand (hamstring): slated to return tonight

Leandro Barbosa (ankle): sprained it last night, will miss at least two games

Spencer Hawes (knee): day-to-day

Andrei Kirilenko (back): game-time decision tonight

Paul Millsap (knee): didn’t practice Sunday, questionable tonight

Andris Biedrins (abdomen): could return this week, monitor status

For Tonight:
Derrick Rose and Brandon Jennings could have a nice shootout tonight in Milwaukee.

If he does return, see how Brand picks things up in Dallas.

Expect Monta Ellis to bounce back as the Warriors host the Pacers tonight.
