Here’s a look at some fantasy basketball players that blew up the box score last night.
Rafer Alston, New Jersey Nets
44 minutes, 20 points, 7-16 FG, 3-4 FT, 3 three-pointers, 1 rebound, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 6 turnovers
With the Nets dealing with serious injuries, including starting PG Devin Harris for a couple of weeks, Alston makes a great temporary addition.
Jose Juan Barea, Dallas Mavericks
24 minutes, 4 points, 2-6 FG, 3 rebounds, 12 assists, 1 turnover
JJB is basketball’s version of a handcuff. If Jason Kidd ever went down, he’d pile up the assists. Unfortunately, with Kidd healthy, outburst like this are not the norm.
Toney Douglas, New York Knicks
17 minutes, 16 points, 6-9 FG, 4 three-pointers, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover
Douglas had six points going into tonight’s game. The Knicks got worked over by Milwaukee. Don’t expect a repeat performance any time soon.
Jodie Meeks, Milwaukee Bucks
27 minutes, 19 points, 7-11 FG, 5 three-pointers, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 turnover
You know he can score if given the opportunity. Michael Redd’s injury opened the door for more playing time, but we’ll have to see if he can carve out any...
