Shaun Livingston Knee Injury

Not sure if you've ever seen this or even remember it, but it was one of the worst sports injuries I've ever seen.  Peoria native Shaun Livingston goes up for an easy layup but doesn't exactly nail the landing.  OUCH!



Birds on a WIRE

Arron Afflalo- I recently added the former Pac-10 P.O.Y. to my roster due to my need for 3's & Steals. He'll give you a decent amount of Assists but don't go trading away your studs. Owned in only 15% of Yahoo! leagues, this starting SG in a potent Denver offense is poised for a big 2nd half.

Donte Greene- Greene has the size of your typical SF/PF with the offensive skills of a #3 SG/SF. Should K-Mart get dealt out of Sacramento, this former Syracuse Orangeman could see his minutes and production increase significantly (assuming Coach Westphal doesn't go "Nellie" on us). His ability to block shots & knock down 3's is a welcomed addition to any deep league roster.

Brad Miller- There has been alot of talk about Miller with the injuries to Noah and Taj Mahal. A big man with 3 point potential is always sexy and his minutes are sure to increase with the Bulls winning and the other bigs going down. Miller's name has been mentioned in the trade winds. Whether he stays in Chi-town or not, his 2nd half value will be better than the weakest link you currently own. Am I right?

Terrance Williams- As with most rookies, Williams' fantasy value is linked to his playing time. Although this is more of a Watch List candidate until he can prove to be more consistent, don't forget about this guy. EVERYONE will get an opportunity on a 4-48 ball "team." Then it's up to him to prove his worth.

Rasual Butler- In need of a 3 point specialist? The Clippers are just down right dirty (and not in a good way). I'm gonna guess that Eric Gordon is not available, so.....who's the next best option? You guessed it.

Dorell Wright- Out of all the players on this list, I am the least confident about Wright. The Heat are a mess right now (it's lucky they're in the lowly Eastern Conference) and Coach Erik Spoeltra has hinted at lineup changes, leaving Wright as a beneficiary. The numbers make it hard to justify the praise, but the only way to go here for Wright is up!

Jonas Jerebko- Hate the Name. Anything Jonas just ain't right. Obviously not a lot to say about this guy other than that 1) He's producing on a consistent basis and 2) He's going to stick in the starting 5 for the Pistons going forward.

Jason Thompson- If for whatever reason an impatient owner has given up on Thompson, scoop him up. I know what you're thinking...he has done almost nothing to warrant a roster spot in some formats, but his upside/potential is hard to ignore. As rosters shake up in the coming weeks (Feb. 18th Trade Deadline) and lineups are tweeked, something has got to give in Sac-town. My gut (along with Thompson's past few stat lines) tells me not to give up on him as he could be just what the doctor ordered going into the second half.
