Carmelo Anthony/NYK didn’t approach his magnificence of the previous game, but he played well enough to lead the supporting cast to a win over the visiting Lakers. The Miami Heat exposed the weakened Spurs reserves to coast to a win at home. The Portland Trail Blazers showed fatigue symptoms due no doubt to their hectic schedule, with LaMarcus Aldridge/POR having his second consecutive terrible game, resulting in an easy win for the Warriors. Kevin Garnett /BOS was on his game, but Paul Pierce/BOS struggled in their Boston homecoming. Monday has plenty of NBA action and DraftStreet has a wide array of contests in offer. Here is today’s Fantasy Spin.
Fantasy Boom and Bust
TOP GUNS:
Anthony Davis/NOP. He was on my short list of stars to consider, but I didn’t pull the trigger on him. 9 of 21 FGA, 4 of 6 FTA, 19 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 7 blocks, 3 TO, 22 points.
Stephen Curry/GSW. While almost every other shooter struggled, Curry was on target all night.
Markieff Morris/PNX.
Pau Gasol/LAL, Dirk Nowitzki/DAL.
SLEEPERS:
Ben McLemore/SAC. It wasn’t starters Marcus Thornton/SAC or Jason Thompson/SAC with the big offensive night. 6 0f 12 FGA, 4 of 6 FTA, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 TO, 18 points.
Kenneth Faried/DEN, Aaron Gray/SAC, P.J.Tucker/PNX.
DISAPPOINTMENTS:
LaMarcus Aldridge/POR. 2 of 14 FGA, 6 of 6 FTA, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, 3 TO, 10 points, 34+ minutes.
Monta Ellis/DAL, Manu Ginobili/SAS, Andre Drummond/DET.
