Beast of the Night: Kobe Bryant wasted no time reasserting himself, finishing with 32 points, 3 threes, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers against the Grizzlies. He’s back.

Noteworthy Lines:
Mo Williams – 2-9 FG (22%), 1-1 FT (100%), 1 3ptm, 6 Pts, 1 Reb, 8 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk, 3 TO

David Lee – 13-22 FG (59%), 2-4 FT (50%), 28 Pts, 15 Reb, 3 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 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

Zach Randolph – 7-17 FG (41%), 9-9 FT (100%), 23 Pts, 19 Reb, 2 Ast, 1 Stl, 1 Blk, 3 TO (continue reading…)

Weekend Wonder: Zach Randolph was a monster this past weekend, averaging 29 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.5 steals, 2 blocks and 3.5 turnovers in two games. He shot 59 percent from the field and 90 percent from the free throw line. Randolph had 32/24 on Sunday, when he even hit a three. Sell high if you can, but don’t be surprised if he continues to impress as the season wears on.

Notable lines:
Gilbert Arenas (12/18) – 15-25 FG (60%), 11-16 FT (69%), 4 3ptm, 45 Pts, 3 Reb, 13 Ast, 1 Blk, 5 TO

Caron Butler (12/18) – 13-22 FG (59%), 2-2 FT (100%), 28 Pts, 10 Reb, 2 Ast, 5 Stl, 2 TO

Marreese Speights (12/19) – 11-20 FG (55%), 6-9 FT (67%), 28 Pts, 9 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 TO

Lou Williams (12/19) – 2-9 FG (22%), 2-2 FT (100%), 6 Pts, 2 Reb, 4 Ast (continue reading…)
