 Martell Webster-G/F- Trail Blazers Nov. 22 - 1:13 am et

Trail Blazers swingman Martell Webster started Saturday's game over Andre Miller, finishing with a season-high 21 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. He played 31 minutes.
The Blazers easily defeated the Timberwolves and there's no reason to think this lineup will change before Portland's next game. Webster made 7-of-13 FGs and 4-of-7 three-pointers, with two assists and just one turnover. With a starting gig in hand, he's worth picking up on the strength of this line alone.
 Andrei Kirilenko-F- Jazz Nov. 22 - 1:03 am et

Andrei Kirilenko (10 rebounds) and Carlos Boozer (10-of-10 FTs, five turnovers) each scored 22 points in Utah's OT victory on Saturday.
Kirilenko's solid season continues, though his role as sixth-man could somewhat mute his value in the long run. Boozer came into this game as the league's fourth-highest rebounder and managed to grab seven in 42 minutes.

 Paul Millsap-F- Jazz Nov. 22 - 12:59 am et

Paul Millsap needed five stitches to close a gash above his right eye sustained during Saturday's game, though he returned and played 34 minutes.
Millsap, who had just four points (2-of-6 FGs), four rebounds and two steals, shouldn't be in danger of missing any games.
 Ronnie Brewer-G/F- Jazz Nov. 22 - 12:58 am et

Ronnie Brewer finished Saturday's game with 15 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block. He made 6-of-12 and 3-of-6 FTs in 47 minutes.
This was the first time all season that Brewer has had three steals in a game, and his 1.2 steals per game are his lowest since his rookie season. He's averaging a career-high 35 minutes per game, a fact that has been obscured by his abnormally low steals, FG% (48%, vs. 53% lifetime) and FT% (58%, vs. 71% lifetime).
 Ben Gordon-G- Pistons Nov. 22 - 12:40 am et

Ben Gordon scored 25 points in an overtime loss to the Jazz on Saturday, going 10-of-20 from the field, 2-of-4 from downtown, and 3-of-4 from the FT line.
He added five rebounds, three assists and two steals, which is icing on the cake for Detroit's explosive scoring guard. And after sitting out nearly all of the fourth quarter on Thursday, he logged 47 minutes in this game.
 Charlie Villanueva-F- Pistons Nov. 22 - 12:37 am et

Charlie Villanueva fouled out of Saturday's game, but not before collecting 17 points, eight rebounds, two steals and three blocks in 37 minutes.
CV has had some duds this season, mostly because of foul trouble, but the versatile PF has undeniable potential as the Pistons' go-to option in the frontcourt.
 Luol Deng-G/F- Bulls Nov. 22 - 12:34 am et

Luol Deng scored 22 points on Saturday, adding three rebounds, one steal and four blocked shots.
Not the robust rebound total Deng's owners were looking for, but the rejections are more than enough compensation. Despite Deng's solid game (9-of-19 shooting), the Bulls couldn't keep up with Denver and fell to 6-6 on the season.
 John Salmons-G/F- Bulls Nov. 22 - 12:30 am et

Bulls swingman John Salmons shot just 2-of-11 for five points in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets.
Yuck. He added a mere one rebound, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes, rounding out a completely forgettable game. His miserable FG% (36% for the season) had been creeping up recently, so try to stay patient.
 Derrick Rose-G- Bulls Nov. 22 - 12:27 am et

Derrick Rose broke out for a season-high 28 points against the Nuggets on Saturday, making 11-of-20 FGs and 6-of-7 FTs with six rebounds, three assists and one steal.
Rose turned the ball over five times, but his explosion and timing are starting to return after his early-season struggles (induced by an ankle injury). The Bulls lost on Saturday, but hopefully Rose's performance will kick him into high gear.
 Kenyon Martin-F- Nuggets Nov. 22 - 12:23 am et

The Nuggets moved to 9-4 with a win on Saturday, aided by Kenyon Martin's eight points, 11 rebounds, two assists and four blocks.
K-Mart is fighting through injuries, playing big minutes, locking down players defensively, and generally providing solid fantasy value. Keep riding him until the wheels fall off.
 Chauncey Billups-G- Nuggets Nov. 22 - 12:21 am et

Chauncey Billups scored 21 points in Saturday's victory, going 5-of-9 from the field with three 3-pointers, four rebounds, five assists and one steal.
Billups also made all eight of his FT attempts, highlighting one of his chief virtues in fantasy leagues. This is a very encouraging line after he scored a total of 18 points in the past three games.
 J.R. Smith-G/F- Nuggets Nov. 22 - 12:19 am et

Nuggets guard J.R. Smith scored 19 points on 8-of-17 shooting (3-of-9 from downtown) in Saturday's win over the Bulls.
Smith didn't get any steals in his 31 minutes, but he did add three rebounds and four assists. Coach George Karl has reportedly been satisfied with Smith's defense, which should guarantee reliable minutes whether he's starting or coming off the bench.
 Chris Andersen-F/C- Nuggets Nov. 22 - 12:17 am et

Chris Andersen returned from a bout of knee tendinitis, finishing Saturday's game with nine points, five rebounds, two steals and three blocks in 25 minutes.
Just when fantasy owners are writing off the Birdman, he drops a decent line and reminds you why you drafted him. He's far from consistent, however, and should be started with caution, if at all.
 Carmelo Anthony-F- Nuggets Nov. 22 - 12:13 am et

Carmelo Anthony scored 30 points on Saturday as the Nuggets defeated the Bulls for their 15th consecutive home victory.
Melo has scored 30+ points in nine of his first 13 games this season, and seems driven to win a scoring title. With his size and skill set, we're not betting against him.
 George Hill-G- Spurs Nov. 22 - 12:06 am et

Spurs guard George Hill manged just seven points, two rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes off the bench on Saturday.
This dip in production shouldn't catch any of his fantasy owners by surprise, as the return of Tony Parker moved him back to his customary reserve role (albeit slightly increased by the absence of Manu Ginobili).
 Brendan Haywood-C- Wizards Nov. 22 - 12:02 am et

Wizards center Brendan Haywood played fewer minutes (23) than Andray Blatche (25) in Saturday's blowout loss to the Spurs.
It's unwise to read too much into this, as the Wizards were behind by 12 at halftime and 22 after three quarters. Haywood is averaging 34 minutes per game this season.

 Caron Butler-G/F- Wizards Nov. 22 - 12:00 am et

Caron Butler had just eight points, five rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes on Saturday, as the Wizards lost again and fell to 3-9.
Butler's struggles continue and he hasn't been much of a factor this season for the equally-struggling Wizards. The most noteable change (probably the result of Flip Saunders' system) is his complete drop-off in assists -- from 4.3 last season to 1.2 this season.
 Tony Parker-G- Spurs Nov. 21 - 11:55 pm et

Tony Parker returned from a sprained ankle on Saturday, scoring 17 points, grabbing six rebounds and handing out eight assists in 32 minutes.
Parker had one steal and even blocked a shot, and it looks safe to get him back into your lineups. This injury has nagged him for a while though, so keep an eye on him over the next few days.
 Mike Miller-G/F- Wizards Nov. 21 - 11:49 pm et

Wizards coach Flip Saunders said Mike Miller may have "popped" his calf and could miss the next four-to-five weeks.
That's not an official diagnosis and Miller is due to have an MRI in D.C., but fantasy owners should prepare to be without him for a stretch. DeShawn Stevenson could move into the starting lineup, but Randy Foye stands to gain the most from a fantasy perspective.
 Nick Young-G/F- Wizards Nov. 21 - 11:45 pm et

Nick Young was inactive for the Wizards on Saturday, as Fabricio Oberto occupied his spot on the active roster.
There is simply too much competition for minutes at SG for Young to have fantasy value, as this roster tweak proves. He was the only player to have appeared in all 82 games last season, when Washington was ravaged by injuries.
