Bad news comes in threes, according to Dwight Schrute - and Kevin Martin, Anthony Randolph and Tyrus Thomas collectively count as bad news.

 Steve Blake-G-Trail BlazersNov. 7 - 11:32 am et
Blazers' coach Nate McMillan said after Friday's game that Steve Blake and Andre Miller might stay in the starting lineup together for the next two weeks.
Blake primarily played shooting guard on Friday, while Miller ran the point. Both players should see an increase in value with this move, while it potentially hurts Martell Webster, Rudy Fernandez and Travis Outlaw. Balke had 15 points, six rebounds and two 3-pointers on Friday, so give him a look.

 Al Thornton-F-ClippersNov. 7 - 11:23 am et
Al Thornton played through a case of the flu Friday, but scored just four points before fouling out in 18 minutes.
He's not thrilled with his demotion to the bench and currently has lost the little fantasy value he once held. "If you ask me now, the coach is doing what's best for the team," he said. "Of course, I want to start. I'd love to start. Like I said, he's doing what's best for the team." Rasual Butler hasn't exactly torn it up, but could be on the verge of doing so.

 Kenyon Martin-F-NuggetsNov. 7 - 11:17 am et
Kenyon Martin has been ruled out for Saturday's game at Atlanta with a lower left leg contusion.
George Karl predicts that Martin will miss a week or two, although we won't know for sure until results of an MRI surface. His replacement hasn't been named, but our guess is either Renaldo Balkman or Chris Andersen will take his place in the starting five. Regardless of who starts, both players will see an increased role over the next couple weeks.

 Anthony Randolph-F-WarriorsNov. 7 - 11:09 am et
A Warriors team source said recently that the front office is confident in Don Nelson's judgment, and appreciate the controversial stance he has taken with Anthony Randolph over the last two seasons.
In addition, two players said Randolph's attitude is what has gotten him into trouble with Nellie. "He's got a lot to learn," a source said. No one is in disagreement about Randolph being picked on, but it's also clear that he and Nelson do not see things eye to eye. Randolph double-doubled in Friday's embarassing loss to the Clippers, but is now the team's fourth-string center (on paper).

 Tyreke Evans-G-KingsNov. 7 - 11:00 am et
Tyreke Evans is the Kings' point guard of the future, but his inability to make passes when his teammates are open has quickly become a concern.
"In Memphis, Tyreke controlled the ball all the time," Kings' executive Bobby Jackson said. "He dribble-drives with his head down." Now that Kevin Martin will miss two months, the Kings will get to see what Evans can do at shooting guard, as Beno Udrih takes over the point guard duties. This could be a good move for Evans, who should be owned in most leagues by now.

 Anderson Varejao-F/C-CavaliersNov. 7 - 10:55 am et
Anderson Varejao had eight points, a season-high 14 rebounds and two blocks in 34 minutes despite coming off the bench in Friday's win over the Knicks.
J.J. Hickson got the start, but Varejao's owners shouldn't be too worried about the demotion, as Hickson lasted just 12 minutes last night. Varejao is averaging 32.5 minutes per game this season, so his value shouldn't change at all as long as his playing time stays the same.
 Antawn Jamison-F-WizardsNov. 7 - 10:47 am et
Antawn Jamison unleashed a slew of profanities in a post-game locker room tirade that could be heard out in the hallway after Friday's lethargic loss to the Pacers.
"Ain't nothing funny about this!," he said upon exiting the arena. Flip Saunders seemed to be in agreement over the lack of effort. "I thought our effort was poor. I was extremely disappointed," Saunders said. Gilbert Arenas took just 10 shots and scored 13 points. It's good to see Jamison taking a leadership role, but you have to hope the team is still all on the same page upon his return in a couple weeks or so.
