Fantasy Basketball Buzzer Beater Nov. 26 – Delonte West out, Rajon Rondo day-to-day

It has been reported that Delonte West has broken his wrist and could miss up to three months. Until the Celtics find another backup point guard is found, Nate Robinson is a pickup in deeper leagues. Over the past week, Robinson has averaged 12.3 points, 4.5 assists, and 2 three-pointers per game. With Rondo still injured, the two-time Slam Dunk champion is worth a short-term look.

Fantasy Basketball Buzzer Beater Nov. 16th – Al-Farouq Aminu Rising

Al-Farouq Aminu got his 2nd start of the season on Monday and had a promising stat line of 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 three-pointers, and 1 steal. The Clippers are cemented at every position except for SF, as Ryan Gomes has been unimpressive so far. If Aminu continues to produce, he should remain in the Clippers’ starting lineup. Because of his rookie upside and optimal situation, he is a pickup in deep leagues and should be on the Watch List of shallow leagues.

Fantasy Basketball Buzzer Beater for Nov. 1st, 2010

After a quiet preseason Al Thornton had a very productive night against a tough Atlanta Hawks team last Saturday. He played 42 minutes and finished the game with 24 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, shooting a ridiculous 67% from the field. The Wizards have only played 2 games so far, which may explain why he is owned in only 17% of Yahoo leagues.

Francisco Garcia: Fantasy Pickup?

Garcia has much more upside than Udrih and is more skillful than Greene. Garcia provides help in the scarce categories of threes, steals, and blocks. He was solid in 2008-09, but injuries limited to only 25 games last year, making him fantasy-irrelevant. Basically, this is the first healthy year that Garcia will be playing with Evans, so we have yet to see the Evans-effect on Garcia.
