Will he bring back the cornrows? (Flickr/ebot)

Allen Iverson is back in Philadelphia after a quick stint in “retirement.”

With a starting point guard job in hand and a supportive city behind him again, Iverson quickly becomes very relevant to all fantasy leagues.

Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young and the injured Lou Williams will likely have their fantasy values diminished to different degrees, while Jrue Holiday and Willie Green can safely be thrown back to most waiver wires.

Beast of the Night: Anthony Morrow put up 27 points last night, hitting 6 threes and adding 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in 48 minutes of work for a depleted Warriors squad. He shot 56 percent (9-16) from the floor and was perfect (3-3) from the line. Morrow should remain a valuable, though inconsistent, fantasy asset for the remainder of the season.

Notable lines:
Thaddeus Young – 10-19 FG (53%), 1-1 FT (100%), 2 3ptm, 23 Pts, 4 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 TO

Lou Williams – 10-17 FG (59%), 2-2 FT (100%), 4 3ptm, 26 Pts, 4 Reb, 5 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 TO

Troy Murphy – 4-9 FG (44%), 1-1 FT (100%), 2 3ptm, 11 Pts, 8 Reb, 5 Ast, 2 Blk

Roy Hibbert – 3-6 FG (50%), 2-3 FT (67%), 8 Pts, 3 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 TO (continue reading…)

Weekend Wonder: Elton Brand is business as usual after averaging 20 points, 10 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.5 steals, 2.5 blocks and 2.5 turnovers in two games over the weekend. He shot 56 percent (15-27) from the field and 91 percent (10-11) from the free throw line during that stretch and finally looks like a solid third- or fourth-round draft pick.

Notable lines:
Dwight Howard (11/22) – 4-13 FG (31%), 9-14 FT (64%), 17 Pts, 12 Reb, 3 Ast, 4 TO

Paul Pierce (11/22) – 9-17 FG (53%), 9-10 FT (90%), 6 3ptm, 33 Pts, 9 Reb, 6 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 Blk, 3 TO

Chauncey Billups (11/21) – 5-9 FG (56%), 8-8 FT (100%), 3 3ptm, 21 Pts, 4 Reb, 5 Ast, 1 Stl, 2 TO (continue reading…)
