Highlight Performances: Paul Pierce, BOS– The Celtics veteran had a big game Sunday Night in their win over the Celtics, posting 34 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, and 3 steals. Pierce has been having a solid yet unspectacular season, and has been very inconsistent scoring the ball. His rebounding and
assists numbers have hovered around 5 per game each, and although he’s averaging aboutFantasy Spin: Thursday, Jan. 19
Highlight Performance: Kevin Martin, HOU– Martin provided a fantastic scoring night on Thursday, posting 32 points, and even threw in 8 rebounds. This was his first time scoring over 30 points this season, and the third time in the past 3 games he has gone over 25. The former Sacramento King seems to have found his groove, and heavy scoring totals seem to be in the near future. Performance to Forget: Devin Harris, UTA– The former New Jersey Nets struggled yet again Thursday

Highlight Performance: Deron Williams, NJ– The Nets may be facing a lost season, but Williams is still producing like a top-15 fantasy asset. His productivity continued Wednesday Night, as he scored 24 points, dished out 10 assists, and even grabbed 8 rebounds. Williams should continue to post great scoring and assist stats, and if he can continue to dial-up from long-range (4-9 3pt’s) and stay healthy, his solid season should continue. Performance to Forget: Danilo Gallinari, DEN– The 6’10 forward out of Italy

Highlight Performances: Chris Bosh, MIA– With Dwayne Wade out with an ankle injury, Chris Bosh figures to be the the primary beneficiary. He and James are the main options from this point, and it showed Tuesday Night. Bosh produced 30 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals. Although having nights like this on a regular basis seems unlikely, he figures to see a spike in production for the time being. Performances to Forget: Richard Jefferson, SA– Jefferson has been having a solid

Highlight Performances: John Wall, WAS- Most owners have clearly been disappointed by Wall thus far. He has done little to provide the value that he was drafted for, and his team is miserable as well. But on Monday Night, Wall provided a stat line that we have been waiting for all along; 38 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals. This comes as no surprise, as the former first overall pick has upside that is higher than the sky itself.

Highlight Performances: DeMarcus Cousins, SAC– The former 5th overall pick from a year ago has been a tremendous big man as of late. He posted his 4th straight double-double Wednesday Night, and it was a huge one. He scored 21 points, and grabbed 19 boards. Cousins is shaping out to be one of the best centers in the league at a very young age, and seems to have a very bright future; [caption id="attachment_5047" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Cousins, in just his second year,

Highlight Performances: Kobe Bryant, LAL– A second time highlight performer, Kobe was unstoppable Tuesday Night, dropping 48 points against the Suns. Kobe hit 18-31 shots from the field, did not make a 3, and added 3 steals, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. Kobe is on pace to score 30 points a game this season, and he does not look like he is slowing down any time soon. I covered Kobe earlier this year, stating that he will shoot close to 30

Highlight Performances: Andre Iguodala, PHI– On a budding 76ers team, Iggy is the veteran leader that this team leans on in crunch time. Monday night was a perfect example of that, as he made some very clutch shots to put the Pacers away in a game that was relatively close. His final stat line consisted of 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists, but he played even better then his numbers [caption id="attachment_4884" align="alignleft" width="220" caption="Iguodala is the veteran of a young
