Beast of the Night: Danny Granger shot 50 percent (12-24) from the field and 100 percent (5-5) from the line as he put up 31 points, 2 threes, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 4 turnovers. His heel is still worrisome, but he’s a fantasy stud when he’s playing.

Anthony Randolph – 8-20 FG (40%), 1-2 FT (50%), 17 Pts, 13 Reb, 1 Ast, 3 Stl, 2 Blk

Channing Frye – 4-9 FG (44%), 2-2 FT (100%), 3 3ptm, 13 Pts, 6 Reb, 5 Ast, 1 Stl, 3 Blk

Paul Millsap – 3-8 FG (38%), 3-4 FT (75%), 9 Pts, 13 Reb, 1 Stl, 1 TO

Rudy Fernandez – 5-7 FG (71%), 1-1 FT (100%), 4 3ptm, 15 Pts, 5 Reb, 4 Ast, 3 Stl, 4 TO
