Weekend Wonder: LeBron James takes this honor yet again. He averaged 28.5 points, 1.5 threes, 8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1 steal, 1.5 blocks and just 1 turnover in two games this past weekend. He shot 54 percent from the field and 82 percent from the free throw line during that span. During the past month or so, James has been the king of fantasy basketball.

Notable lines:
Nate Robinson (1/1): 18-24 FG (75%), 2-5 FT (40%), 3 3ptm, 41 Pts, 6 Reb, 8 Ast, 1 Stl, 4 TO

Al Horford (1/1): 11-14 FG (79%), 0-1 FT (0%), 22 Pts, 19 Reb, 4 Ast, 1 Stl, 3 Blk, 2 TO

Beast of the Night: Rajon Rondo put up 30 points, 3 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 steals against the Warriors. He even hit a three, but also had 6 turnovers. Rondo shot 61 percent (11-18) from the floor and 78 percent (7-9) from the line. His lack of threes and poor free-throw shooting keep him from being an elite fantasy point guard.

Notable lines:
Kevin Durant – 15-22 FG (68%), 10-12 FT (83%), 40 Pts, 5 Reb, 2 Ast, 3 Stl, 5 TO

Gilbert Arenas – 12-26 FG (46%), 1-2 FT (50%), 5 3ptm, 30 Pts, 4 Reb, 5 Ast, 5 Stl, 4 TO
