The Cavaliers proved once again that their offense is dysfunctional and they play uninspired defense if they get down early. The Knicks raced out to an early 20+ lead and coasted the rest of the way. Goran Dragic/PNX was conducting things against the Pacers and led the Suns to an impressive road win over Indiana. In the nightcap, the Warriors outgunned the Clippers on the strength of a balanced attack. There are eight games on the NBA schedule tonight, and DraftStreet is ready with a wide assortment of standard payout and double up contests. Among the offerings are qualifiers for next week’s Big NBA 150K. Here is today’s Fantasy Spin.
Fantasy Boom and Bust
TOP GUNS:
Andrew Bogut/GSW. Leading a trio of Warriors, he was a force on the boards and neutralized the active DeAndre Jordan/LAC. 7 of 11 FGA, 17 rebounds, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 1 TO, 14 points.
Stephen Curry/GSW. Not the lights out game we’ve become accustomed to.
David Lee/GSW. Often the difference maker, positive or negative, for Golden State.
Goran Dragic/PNX. Given the opposition, arguably the performance of the night.
SLEEPERS:
Tim Hardaway Jr./NYK. Extra minutes due to blowout conditions, showed star potential. 11 of 17 FGA, 1 of 1 FTA, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 TO, 29 points.
Henry Sims/CLE. With Anderson Varejao/CLE out and Tyler Zeller/CLE ineffective, Sims racked up the stats in garbage time.
Marcus Morris/PNX.
DISAPPOINTMENTS:
Tristan Thompson/CLE. None of the Cavs starters had good games. 1 of 5 FGA, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 TO, 2 points, 22.5 minutes.
Tyler Zeller/CLE.
