Beast of the Night: LeBron James killed the Raptors with 28 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. He didn’t hit any threes and had 3 turnovers, but shot a respectable 44
percent (8-18) from the field and 86 percent (12-14) from the free throw line. Ho-hum.

Notable lines:
Mo Williams – 7-15 FG (47%), 4-4 FT (100%), 4 3ptm, 22 Pts, 3 Reb, 10 Ast, 4 TO

Chris Bosh – 9-16 FG (56%), 3-4 FT (75%), 21 Pts, 10 Reb, 3 Ast, 3 TO

Jose Calderon – 2-9 FG (22%), 2-3 FT (67%), 6 Pts, 2 Reb, 6 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 TO (continue reading…)

So, for the sake of helping you channel this impatience into something to your advantage, here’s a list of players to buy low and sell high, which I posted on Dimemag.com today. (Click here for the actual post and more details.)

Buy Low:

• Al Jefferson: as Achilles heals, so will his value
• Antawn Jamison: out a few more games, but grab him now
• J.R. Smith: ditto
• Rashard Lewis: ditto
• D.J. Augustin: being dropped like he’s hot, but should still have substantial value
• Tony Parker: hard fall took down his numbers too; won’t be this cheap ever again
