Beast of the Night: Martell Webster poured in 28 points on 7 threes and adding 1 rebound, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover against the Clippers. He shot 69 percent (9-13) from the floor and 100 percent (3-3) from the free throw line. Webster’s value is safe for now thanks to the Blazers’ trade on Tuesday and he should be owned in most leagues.
