Beast of the Night: LeBron James finished with 38 points, 1 three, 6 boards, 9 dimes, 1 steal and 3 turnovers. He shot 68 percent (15-22) from the field and 88 percent (7-8) from the free throw line. At this point, it’s tough to not take his lines for granted.

Noteworthy Lines:
Rajon Rondo – 4-9 FG (44%), 3-6 FT (50%), 11 Pts, 11 Reb, 15 Ast, 4 Stl, 4 TO; He’s had his offensive troubles this month but his overall production has remained fairly steady.

Kevin Garnett – 8-20 FG (40%), 4-5 FT (80%), 20 Pts, 10 Reb, 5 Ast, 1 Stl; His shot attempts tied a season-high and his was KG’s best game in a while.

Stephen Jackson – 15-24 FG (63%), 3-4 FT (75%), 4 3ptm, 37 Pts, 5 Reb, 3 Ast, 2 Stl, 5 TO; This snapped a three-game streak of subpar lines from Captain Jack, who is playing through a bruise at the base of his left index finger, along with a bruised heel. His production down the stretch might suffer a bit so keep your expectations in check.

Gerald Wallace – 9-16 FG (56%), 4-7 FT (57%), 1 3ptm, 23 Pts, 4 Reb, 4 Ast, 4 Stl, 3 Blk, 4 TO; Though flawed, this was one heck of a line from Crash, whose value has always been capped by his health.

Dwight Howard – 4-11 FG (36%), 11-16 FT (69%), 19 Pts, 24 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Stl, 4 Blk, 5 TO; This was a mixed bag from Howard but gaudy numbers like this are always nice to see.

Al Horford – 6-11 FG (55%), 12 Pts, 11 Reb, 2 Stl, 1 Blk, 3 TO; He usually struggles against Howard but this was a fairly solid line form Horford, who has double-doubled in six straight games now.

Trevor Ariza – 8-14 FG (57%), 1-2 FT (50%), 3 3ptm, 20 Pts, 3 Reb, 2 Ast, 2 Stl, 2 Blk, 1 TO; He’s going Paul Walker on us and is turning on the NOS lately. Ariza’s value is boosted by a strong playoff schedule and the absence of Shane Battier, Jared Jeffries and Jordan Hill. Let’s see if he can keep this up.

George Hill – 8-14 FG (57%), 3-4 FT (75%), 2 3ptm, 21 Pts, 4 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 2 TO; He could end up being one of the best pickups for owners fighting in the playoffs. Keep on starting him.

O.J. Mayo – 9-18 FG (50%), 2-3 FT (67%), 1 3ptm, 21 Pts, 8 Reb, 6 Ast, 3 Stl, 2 TO; Mayo really put some mustard on this one and is having a solid month despite the fact that he’s turned in a clunker every three or four games.

Stephen Curry – 12-19 FG (63%), 2-2 FT (100%), 4 3ptm, 30 Pts, 5 Reb, 11 Ast, 4 Stl, 7 TO; If it weren’t for the turnovers, he would’ve been the Beast. It’s hard to see him improving on his stats next year but if he does, he’ll easily be a top-10 fantasy asset.

Waiver Wire Appeal:
Darko Milicic – 10 Pts, 4 Reb, 1 Stl, 2 Blk, 4 TO; It’s infuriating to see “The Human Victory Cigar” staying relevant in Minny but if you need blocks, it might be time to give him a look.

Theo Ratliff – 5 Pts, 6 Reb, 4 Blk; He continues to start but is only good for blocks.

Tyson Chandler – 4 Pts, 9 Reb, 1 Blk, 2 TO; His minutes and production are too erratic to use right now but consider him if you need to in deep leagues.

James Singleton – 19 Pts, 21 Reb, 1 Blk, 1 TO; This was his biggest line of the season and he’s probably in for more minutes going forward.

Josh McRoberts – 14 Pts, 12 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 Blk; As long as Roy Hibbert is out, McRoberts could be worth a look.

Jrue Holiday – 15 Pts, 1 3ptm, 4 Reb, 7 Ast, 2 Stl, 6 TO; He should be owned in most leagues by now.

Kyle Lowry – 15 Pts, 3 3ptm, 4 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 TO; He’s on a nice little roll right now.

James Harden – 23 Pts, 3 3ptm, 2 Reb, 2 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk, 1 TO; He’s over his hamstring injury.

Serge Ibaka – 6 Pts, 8 Reb, 1 Stl, 4 Blk, 4 TO; If you need blocks, give Ibaka a look.

Reggie Williams – 23 Pts, 2 3ptm, 5 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 TO; He’s no fluke and so long as Nellie plays him, he’ll put up very usable lines.
