I didn’t fare well last night with my DraftStreet fantasy team. It’s been a rough go for me in the fantasy basketball world. None of my players did bad, but none did particularly great either.
Andre Drummond ($15,850) did well for me. Not his best game but he was still a monster. He had 19 points and 17 rebounds, as a reward I’ve picked him again on another team of mine. Trey Burke was a bit disappointing, he only managed to score four points and missed six shots.
Tonight I will be doing something many will find crazy. I’m picking a player that was arrested two days ago. 
Jonas Valanciunas ($13,115) was arrested in Ontario on drunk driving charges, but I think he’s a great pick. The Raptors announced he would play tonight, and I think Valanciunas will use this situation as motivation for a dominant game.
Another surprise pick is Oklahoma City Thunder’s Caron Butler ($7,378). OKC plays the Los Angeles Clippers and Butler does well in high-pressure situations. Also, he’s playing against his old team. They always say it’s not personal but it is.
Here’s my full roster for tonight.
