Fantasy Basketball Buzzer Beater Nov. 12th Yao out, Flynn returning

Yao Ming is expected to miss a week due to a sprained left ankle that he suffered in Wednesday’s game.  This is disheartening for Yao fantasy owners, considering the Rockets were planning to put an increase on his current 24 minutes cap per game.  Jordan Hill is a short term pickup, providing help in the rebound and block categories.

Jonny Flynn is expected to make his season debut on Wednesday November 17^th. With Ridnour injured, Flynn should become fantasy-relevant and is a solid free agent pickup right now.

Dirk Nowitzki is probable for Friday’s game.  This is huge news for Dirk owners after he rolled his ankle on Wednesday.  Dirk is one of the most durable players in the NBA and is unlikely to let a minor injury keep him out of the lineup.

Mike Miller could be back on the court before the New Year.  After Thursday’s loss to the Celtics, Lebron James admitted that playing 44 minutes is “too much” for him. Miller’s return will help solve the Heat’s depth issues at the wing positions.

Brook Lopez has had a disappointing start to the season, shooting a horrible 38% from the field and averaging a career low 6 rebounds per game. On Wednesday, Lopez played only 18 minutes due to foul trouble.  He is a huge buy-low candidate right now, so this is the best time to trade for him.  It is only a matter of time before he returns to playing like one of the top fantasy Centers in the NBA.

Check out the Box Score analysis from Thursday’s action.  The Heat may be losing, but Lebron continues to tear up the box scores.
