News & Notes : 11/3

So if you read my previous I would like to tell you that it hasn't been all bad. Going into the season I had guys such as Damain Lillard, Glen Davis and Kawhi Leonard all pegged for big breakout seasons. Like I said in my previous post, its early so we don't want to be getting carried away just yet, but all three seem to be fitting the bill thus far. Lillard continued to impress last night, putting up 21 points, 7 assists, and three rebounds. Lillard remains locked in at the point for the Blazers while showing no signs that the NBA game is too big for him. Look for him to continue to post similar numbers as he continues his rookie of the year campaign. Glen Davis had a big night last night against the Nuggets. He scored 29 points, had 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. J.J Reddick, who has flown under the radar in most drafts and it probably available in your league had a huge game last night for Orlando as well.

Raymond Felton
Other notables from last night include Chris Paul, who went for 18 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists in a win against the Lakers. That should be a pretty standard line for CP3 as long as he can remain healthy the whole year. Stephan Curry bounced back from a poor opener scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Curry has been one the most injury prone players throughout his career so cross your fingers that his ankle remains intact and he can continue to produce at this level. Similar to Curry, Mike Conley had a rough opener and was able to bounce back in a big way last night. Conley posted 21 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists proving why we should never have worried after his game one dud. Raymond Felton did a lot to silence a lot of his haters coming into this season. Felton scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and had three steals in the Knicks win over the defending champion Heat last night. Teammate Carmelo Anthony led the team with 30 points, 10 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals. Melo just looks much more comfortable when Amare is sidelined. Numbers like these should continue for Melo for the foreseeable future.

Waiver Wire: 
J.J. Redick

  • Tobias Harris: Harris was named the starter at small forward for the bucks prior to last nights game. He responded with 18 points, 6 rebounds  2 assists and a block in the win against the Celtics. Worth taking a shot on. 
  • J.J. Reddick: who has flown under the radar in most drafts and it probably available in your league had a huge game last night for Orlando. He posted a line of 21 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal. Should be owned in all leagues.
