Issue Feb 20

Dwight Howard - 13 pts, 16 rebs, 2 stls, 6 blks. Those blocks will almost surely win you your block category. Thats for sure.

Shawn Marion - 14 pts, 12 rebs, 1 ast. Being a Raptor has been good to him. Expect him to contribute more.

Wilson Chandler - 32 pts, 6 rebs, 3 asts. Looks like the trade of Knicks is helping his numbers.

David Lee - 24 pts, 15 rebs, 4 asts. How many consecutive double-doubles does this guy have? 17 in my count if only he grabbed another rebound on Jan 12, it should have been 26 straight.

Nate Robinson - 26 pts, 5 rebs, 7 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk.

Marquis Daniels - 24 pts, 4 rebs, 1 ast, 2 stl 1 blk. Now that Granger is in danger of missing the season, he'll be a factor again in fantasy basketball.

Aaron Brooks - 19 tpts, 6 rebs, 8 asts, 2 stls, 3-5 from 3s. This guy is awesome when hes given minutes. And now that the starting point guard is his to keep, start to grab him of wires. If you act quickly like me, he is still available in 79% of yahoo leagues. I'll bet this will jump up in a week. Lets see.

Yao Ming - 22 pts, 13 rebs, 2 blks.

Rasuel Butler - 31 pts, 3 rebs, 2 asts, 2 stls, 1 blk, 6-8 from 3s. Its good to have Chris Paul as teammate.

Kobe Bryant- 39 pts, 5 rebs, 5 asts, 1 stl, 1 ast.

Pau Gasol - 20 pts, 12 rebs, 6 asts, 1 stl.
