Knicks bring back Lin from D-League

Knicks recalled G Jeremy Lin from the D-League.

It's a little strange that Lin has been recalled even though Baron Davis (back) is nearing a return to practice. The Knicks' point guard spot is really crowded with Iman Shumpert, Toney Douglas and Mike Bibby also in the mix.

DeMarcus Cousins dominates Mavs for 32 and 19

DeMarcus Cousins was unstoppable against the Mavericks on Monday with 32 points, 19 boards, three assists, three steals and one block in 36 minutes.

He's one of the best centers in the NBA. Cousins leads the entire league in usage rate and the Kings are going to lean heavily on him in the paint the rest of the way. Interestingly, he shoots 51 percent when Isaiah Thomas is on the floor vs. 47 percent without him. His usage rate is also a ridiculous 38.9 percent with Thomas, but that number might take a hit with Rudy Gay coming to town. Still, Cousins' value should not drop too much and he should be able to co-exist with the former Raptor.

Derrick Williams scores career-high 31 points

Derrick Williams scored a career-high 31 points in his start at small forward on Monday to go with five boards, five steals and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

It was a fast-break fest for Williams and the Kings with their 23 points on the break and it was highlighted by Isaiah Thomas throwing a lob pass off the glass to Williams for the reverse dunk. The Kings traded away most of their depth behind Jason Thompson and DeMarcus Cousins, so Williams will likely be moving to the bench with Rudy Gay at small forward. That's not such a bad gig with the Kings lack of depth on the bench now that Thomas and his 18 points per game are in the starting lineup. If he's still sitting on your wire, your team might have a tough time finding someone to cut for him.

The Pizza Guy will deliver indefinitely

Isaiah Thomas took the reins in Sacramento and delivered 24 points on 7-of-16 shooting with two rebounds, a career-high 12 assists and one steal while leading the Kings to an immediate win following the Rudy Gay trade on Monday.

We've written about it. We've begged for it. We've outright eviscerated prior Kings management for stonewalling it and we put a timer on current Kings management because it wasn't coming fast enough. Isaiah Thomas is officially the Kings' starting point guard according to Mike Malone and he's got a great shot at early round value with upside from there. The Pizza Guy is real and he is set to be spectacular.

DeAndre Jordan (foot) grabs 21 boards in win

DeAndre Jordan grabbed 21 boards in 39 minutes against the Sixers on Monday with 11 points and one steal on 5-of-7 shooting.

He shot 1-of-2 from the line and brought his free throw percentage on the season to 39.8 percent. Jordan was a game-time decision for tonight's game with a strained right arch, but obviously the 39 minutes serve as enough evidence to declare him healthy. He's the only player in the NBA ranking in the top five for blocks, boards and field goal percentage.

Leuer goes for 16 and 12 in win over Magic

Jon Leuer went for 16 and 12 with a three and a steal in the Grizzlies' 94-85 win over the Magic on Monday.

Leuer has stepped into Ed Davis' role and should be considered in any format while that's the case, though your guess is as good as ours if he can keep it up. Jerryd Bayless scored 11 points, Mike Conley scored 13 points with seven assists, Kosta Koufos went for seven and 11 with three blocks, and Zach Randolph went for 19 and 12 in the win.

Nicholson goes for 19 and 11 in loss to MEM

Andrew Nicholson scored 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting (including two threes) with 11 rebounds and four blocks in 37 minutes in Monday's loss to the Grizzlies.

Nicholson did his damage with no Nikola Vucevic around, and with the big man being day-to-day it's hard to get too excited about Nicholson's production. In a deeper league though, he's worth a look. Glen Davis scored 16 points with nine assists and three blocks, Victor Oladipo scored 10 points with a normal line, Jameer Nelson scored 19 points and a normal line, and Arron Afflalo scored 17 points with a normal line.

Kemba Walker scores 31 points in win over GSW

Kemba Walker scored 31 points on 10-of-18 shooting (2-of-5 3PTs, 9-of-11 FTs) with five rebounds, five assists and no steals or blocks in the Bobcats' 115-111 win over the Warriors on Monday.

Gerald Henderson scored 24 points on 11-of-23 shooting (no threes) with three rebounds and a block, Al Jefferson's inefficiency issues crept into play with 5-of-16 makes for 11 points, nine boards, a steal and a block, Anthony Tolliver went for six and five with a steal and a block, Josh McRoberts scored 11 points with 10 boards, six assists a steal and a block, and Ramon Sessions posted a 13-3-5 line in 21 minutes off the bench.
Dec 9 - 10:22 PM
Curry a one-man show in losing 43-6-9 effort

Stephen Curry was arguably over-utilized in Monday's loss to the Bobcats, scoring a season-high 43 points on 14-of-32 shooting (5-of-16 3PTs, 10-of-12 FTs) with six rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 46 minutes.

The Warriors struggle anytime they play smaller, quick defensive guards and Andre Iguodala isn't around to fill the old Jarrett Jack role and ease the burden on Curry. Owners aren't going to complain about the spike in missed field goals when he's putting these types of numbers up all while only turning the ball over four times. David Lee went for 14 and 16 with no steals or blocks and Harrison Barnes scored 14 points with nine boards and two steals. Klay Thompson scored 22 points.
Dec 9 - 9:43 PM
Isaiah Thomas, Derrick Williams starting

Isaiah Thomas will start at point guard against the Mavericks on Monday.

He'll join Ben McLemore, Derrick Williams, Jason Thompson and DeMarcus Cousins. It's been an overdue move and now the Kings had no choice. Thomas should deliver a supreme line tonight against Jose Calderon and the Mavericks. Rookie Ray McCallum could get some minutes tonight while Jimmer Fredette may get a look with the Kings a little short-handed due to the trade.

Bradley Beal cleared to increase activity

Bradley Beal (leg) was cleared on Monday to increase his basketball activities.

He was reevaluated today and it likely went very well. Beal has been out of the lineup since Nov. 25 with a stress reaction to his fibula and he still doesn't have a timetable to return. The sophomore was hitting 2.8 triples per game and scoring 21 per night before going down, so his fantasy owners should continue to stash him and hope he doesn't get hurt again this season. Martell Webster (ankle) would take a hit, but he could still be worth owning for his contributions off the bench.

Derrick Favors won't play on Monday

Derrick Favors (back) will not play against the Blazers on Monday.

He participated in shootaround this morning, but his sore lower back will keep him on the bench for the second consecutive game. Favors should be considered questionable or Wednesday's game against the Kings. As for tonight, Jeremy Evans will have his hands full against LaMarcus Aldridge. Enes Kanter will also get another chance to show he's deserving of being in the starting lineup after a lackluster start to his season.
