Beast of the Night: Andrew Bynum finished with 30 points, 14 rebounds, two assists and three blocks last night. He shot 72 percent (13-18) from the field, 80 percent (4-5) from the free-throw line and had three turnovers. Bynum is currently on a 10-game streak of double-doubles and has produced top 20 averages this season, making him one of the bigger exceeder of fantasy expectations in the 2011-12 NBA season.

Lines for Discussion:

David West: 10-13 FG (77%), 4-5 FT (80%), 24 Pts, 3 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Stl, 2 TO; the points were a season high for West, who has rounded into form after a slow start to the 2011-12 NBA season

Corey Maggette: 9-17 FG (53%), 10-11 FT (91%), 1 three, 29 Pts, 7 Reb, 1 Stl, 2 TO; Maggette remains a one-dimensional player who’s only somewhat valuable in points leagues

Rodney Stuckey: 13-20 FG (65%), 7-7 FT (100%), 1 three, 34 Pts, 1 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 TO; Stuckey scores and shoots from the free-throw line well, but doesn’t do much elsewhere

Amar’e Stoudemire: 10-18 FG (56%), 6-8 FT (75%), 26 Pts, 7 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl, 3 TO; in his last two games, STAT has amassed 42 points and 20 rebounds, which is a promising sign for his desperate owners

Waiver-Wire Watch (four stars = must add; one star = keep an eye on him):

Jannero Pargo: 16 Pts, 4 threes, 3 Reb, 1 TO (**)

Zaza Pachulia: 12 Pts, 10 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 2 TO (***)
