3 games: ATL, CHI, DAL, IND, LAC, LAL, MIA, SA
2 games: POR
Waiver-wire watch:
- Ryan Anderson: averaging 14.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 threes in January; he should be owned in nearly all leagues by now
- Chuck Hayes: getting plenty of run at center for the Rockets, doing everything pretty well
- Rudy Fernandez: on a hot streak, could benefit so long as the roster is this depleted
- Mike Miller: monster game Saturday (without Dwyane Wade) deserves attention, but he’s not likely to be anything more than some threes on most nights
- Ronny Turiaf: lost his starting gig again, but he’s worth monitoring for his shot-blocking ability (continue reading…)

- Nick Young: if you like streaks, give Young a look
- Nazr Mohammed: decent source of blocks and boards in deep leagues (continue reading…)
