B-Ball, B-Fast is a weekdaily look at last night's NBA action from a fantasy perspective. Bookmark it and visit often.Cup of CoffeeLike, seriously, who
doesn't have a sprained/bruised knee these days? Losers. I am going to act like I am not freaking out, okay? You certainly do not have to believe me, but just know that I am acting the part. Besides, sprained knees, like the one Andrew Bynum suffered last night, are pretty common occurrences. Right? Right?
Right?????? Anyway, that is partially an act, but whatever. Bynum is guaranteed to miss at least one game, maybe more, so Kwame Brown makes a decent (you never know) one game grab for daily and a viable add option, at least temporarily, for all larger leagues. Bynum should be okay (x-rays were negative) but he is not going to Seattle with the team.
Hot CakesHe may have come off the bench, but it didn't take
Luol Deng long to find his rhythm on the floor. He played 30 minutes Sunday, shooting ten of 15 for 28 points with six boards, a dime and one block. Obviously he will not continue to come off the bench. Ergo, you should likely consider getting him active as soon as is humanly possible.
And not to go all "two nights ago" on you, but
Kevin Martin made his return Saturday for Sacramento as well, coming off the bench for about 30 minutes and scoring 25 points. He too should be starting for all teams this week.
