Highlight Performance: DeMarcus Cousins, SAC– The behemoth center out of Kentucky, when mentally committed, is simply a beast around the paint. Although he can hit mid-range jumpers, he can rip down boards with the best of em. Against the Hornets, a team without Carl Landry and Jason Smith due to injuries, Cousins had his way, scoring 28 points, grabbing 19 rebounds, 3 blocks, and a steal. This was a monstrous game, but coming off his 21 point-20 rebound effort a few
Highlight Performance: Anthony Morrow, NJ– Everybody knew Morrow was going to get some serious minutes, following injuries by MarShon Brooks (Broken Toe) and DeShawn Stevenson (Swollen Knee). We also understood that he can hit some 3 pointers, which is his main source of production. However, Friday Night Morrow went ballistic, scoring 42 points, and hitting an absurd 8-11 shots from long range. Nights like these are not to be expected often from Morrow, although with a such a heavy dose of
Highlight Performance: Stephen Curry, GS– Coming off his poor 3-point effort last night, Curry blew up Thursday, scoring 29 points, dishing out 12 assists, grabbing 5 rebounds, and 3 steals. This was a huge night, as he stuffed the stat sheet from all angles, but this is the kind of upside Curry possesses. Other than his troublesome ankle which has given him issues throughout the season, when healthy, Curry has posted huge numbers, especially scoring. Although he posts the occasional dud,
Highlight Performances: Danny Granger, IND– Granger was outstanding Wednesday Night, scoring 36 points with 7 boards and 2 assists. George Hill, the sharpshooting 6th man, suffered an ankle injury last night, and is out indefinitely. Granger and Paul George figure the main beneficiaries of this injury, however production-wise, Granger seems destined for the biggest uptick. He will be leaned on more heavily for scoring production, so consider his value on the rise. Serge Ibaka, OKC– This is not to say that there
Highlight Performance: Chauncey Billups, LAC– Returning to Denver, his former team, Billups had a great game, scoring 32 points and hitting 6-12 shots beyond the arc. Being that he is no longer the point guard, Billup’s assist totals have suffered a but this season. However, being the starting shooting guard, he has been a bit more willing to pull the trigger than usual, so big scoring nights occasionally come as no surprise. This was an impressive game by Billups, and his
Highlight Performance: Paul Pierce, BOS– Although Pierce producing is nothing new, the 13-year veteran produced yet another outstanding night, posting 28 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocked shots. He has been on a tear the last 4 games, and he has been great in both the assists and rebounding categories. With Rondo and Allen both out with injuries, the Celtics should continue to rely on him for production, and therefore his huge production spike may not be
Highlight Performance: Stephen Curry, GS– The former Davidson star had a huge night on wednesday, posting 32 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and hit 6-8 from long
Stephen Curry, when healthy, is a force to be reckoned with.
Highlight Performance: Shawn Marion, DAL– With Dirk out, Marion stepped up in a big way Monday Night, posting 29 points, 4 rebounds, and even hit 4-6 shots from long range (Not to mention he has THE weirdest shot I personally have ever seen). After scoring 22 a few nights ago and scoring 14 along
Although his shot is unorthodox, Marion is still producing on a nightly basis.
