Never ones to sleep in, SheridanHoops.com’s new daily feature presents five interesting items from the previous night in the NBA. Four games were on the NBA slate Tuesday night.

When the Sheridan Hoops Freeroll passed 700 entries on Friday morning, there was no question about a new record. By mid-afternoon there were 950 teams, and a late flurry pushed the final number to 1,068. “PrincessDuckling” overcame those 1,067-1 odds to win the $100 first prize, edging “edwind3” (who won 60 bucks) by just three-quarters of a point.

Or that Cleveland was missing Anderson Varejao, their best
It’s too bad the Knicks play only once this week. Not even Carmelo Anthony (27 PTS, 7 REB) is worth starting in weekly-lineup formats if you have another option. The big fantasy news is the promotion of Chris Copeland (22 PTS, 4 REB) to the starting five alongside Melo. [Read more…]
