Rasual Butler took his benching in stride Friday, hitting 8-of-15 shots and four 3-pointers on his way to a season-high 27 points to go along with three rebounds and two assists in a win over Denver.
Maybe Butler will be better coming off the bench, as he was clearly struggling as a starter. Ricky Davis got the call tonight, but had just five points in 11 minutes. Butler is worth a pickup in many leagues, but we'd like to see him play like this in a couple more before dumping a potentially valuable player for him. Nov. 21 - 2:07 am et

Chauncey Billups played 30 minutes, but hit just 1-of-5 shots for five points, three boards and seven assists in Friday's loss to the Clips.
He didn't hit a three or have a steal, and owners have to be getting concerned. Billups has scored a total of just 18 points in his last three games, as he's just not being aggressive on offense. That would be fine if he was contributing elsewhere, but he's not living up to where he was drafted right now. Consider him a solid buy-low target. Nov. 21 - 2:03 am et

Nene had 18 points and 12 boards on 8-of-14 shooting in Friday's loss to the Clippers.
He also had three steals and is playing at a high level right now. Continue to start him until further notice. Nov. 21 - 2:01 am et

Carmelo Anthony hit 12-of-20 shots, 12-of-13 free throws and a 3-pointer for 37 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals in Friday's loss to the Clippers.
Melo is having a big year and could end up having first-round value before it's all said and done. Nov. 21 - 2:00 am et

Marcus Camby played through a back injury on Friday, but had just four points, three rebounds, a steal and a block in a win over the Nuggets.
Camby is probably not fully healthy and it would have been nice to see more against his former team. He hit just 1-of-4 shots in 29 minutes, but at least he played. Nov. 21 - 1:57 am et

Anthony Randolph came off the bench for 15 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and a block on 6-of-15 shooting in Friday's win over Porltand.
He committed six turnovers, but looked good tonight in 30 minutes. He tweaked his knee near the end of the game, so check back over the weekend for an update. Nov. 21 - 1:48 am et

Chris Hunter, who was acquired from the D-League on Friday, had four points, three rebounds, a steal and a block for the Warriors, playing 14 minutes.
He replaced Mikki Moore in the starting lineup for the second half of tonight's game, and should get some minutes for the depleted Warriors. If you own Moore, who played just five minutes tonight, keep a close eye on Hunter. Nov. 21 - 1:46 am et

Stephen Curry hit just 3-of-9 shots but finished with 12 points, six rebounds, eight assists, a steal, a block and two 3-pointers in Friday's win.
Curry was nice tonight and played 46 minutes. He should be a safe start going forward, especially as long as the Warriors remained beat up with only eight or so options from game to game. Nov. 21 - 1:43 am et

Monta Ellis had a huge game in Friday's win over the Blazers, playing all 48 minutes and hitting 13-of-28 shots and a 3-pointer on his way to 34 points, two rebounds, eight assists, six steals and two blocks.
He was a beast tonight and despite the constant rumors about him being unhappy and wanting to be traded, should remain in all fantasy lineups until further notice. Nov. 21 - 1:41 am et

Anthony Morrow started and played the entire game to finish with 23 points, six rebounds, one assist, two steals and four 3-pointers on 8-of-13 shooting as the Warriors beat the Blazers to snap a three-game losing streak on Friday.
Morrow had scored seven or less points in three of his last four games, but looked great tonight. Like most of his teammates, he's worth owning in nearly all leagues. Just expect inconsistency from the sharp shooter. Nov. 21 - 1:39 am et

Rudy Fernandez hit 6-of-11 shots and three 3-pointers for 19 points, four rebounds, five assists and two steals in Friday's loss to the Warriors.
Yes, it was against the Warriors, but Rudy looked good tonight and got a ton of minutes (38). We have been preaching owners to pick him up, and this is why. Nov. 21 - 1:35 am et

D.J. Augustin had just one point in 13 minutes of Friday's loss.
Augustin has all the potential in the world, but just isn't getting minutes. We recommend dropping him, but know that his fortunes could change quickly if Larry Brown decides to start giving him run. Nov. 21 - 1:29 am et

Flip Murray hit 5-of-8 shots for 17 points, five rebounds, six assists and a steal in Friday's loss to the Bucks.
Murray has scored 17, nine and 31 points in his last three games and deserves a look in all leagues. Raymond Felton has really been struggling, while Murray is coming on. Nov. 21 - 1:28 am et

Raymond Felton had just three points, two boards, two assists, four steals and four turnovers in 30 minutes of Friday's loss to the Bucks.
Felton is suddenly a very shaky play with the emergence of Flip Murray and the arrival of Stephen Jackson. Don't cut him, but think about getting him on your bench until he turns it around. Nov. 21 - 1:26 am et

Nazr Mohammed started in place of injured Tyson Chandler Friday, but had just eight points and three rebounds in 16 minutes.
The Bucks weren't really playing a center, so the Bobcats didn't have much use for Mohammed. Chandler is day-to-day, meaning Mohammed's probably not worth owning in most leagues. Nov. 21 - 1:23 am et
