Last night was proof positive that the early season Knicks woes are behind them and they are ready to vault back into contention for the division lead. Dwayne Wade/MIA played but had an off night from the charity stripe and the Heat faded away in the second half. In the back end of the doubleheader, the Nuggets’ depth overcame a sputtering Oklahama City squad and rolled to a relatively easy home win. Most of the NBA returns to action on a busy Friday night. Here is today’s Fantasy Spin.
Fantasy Boom and Bust
Top Performers:
Ty Lawson/DEN. Everyone thought Kevin Durant/OKC would dominate, but Lawson led the Nuggets to an easy win over the Thunder.
Carmelo Anthony/NYK. Maintains high level fantasy production when healthy.
LeBron James/MIA. Didn’t get much help in the second half from his teammates.
Sleepers:
Raymond Felton/NYK. Arguably the difference maker.
Evan Fournier/DEN. It’s hard to tip which Nuggets bench player will break through on any given night – last night it was Fournier.
Randy Foye/DEN. Now firmly established as a starter.
Disappointments:
Nick Collison/OKC. With Serge Ibaka/OKC back, Collison reverted to a minor role.
Jeremy Lamb/OKC. Played his usual minutes but was unproductive.
Michael Beasley/MIA.

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my
apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now
destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely
off topic but I had to share it with someone!
