Player of the Night
Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
vs. Washington Wizards
30 points, 13 dimes, 10 boards, 4 steals
There isn't too much debate about who the best point guard in the NBA is at the moment. Chris Paul can do just about anything at anytime and proved it last night against a resilient Wizards club.
Follow along after the jump...
CP3 is having somewhat of a quiet season, despite turning in solid fantasy performances night in and night out. You just don't hear much about him in the national media because the Hornets have struggled to find consistency this season.
But that doesn't matter much to us fantasy folk who worship Paul's production in a plethora of valuable statistical categories: points, assists, steals, rebounds and FG%.
Throw in his ability to post multiple triple doubles each season and you've got one of the Association's top fantasy performers.
Top Performers
Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
vs. Houston Rockets
37 points, 6 dimes, 5 boards, 4 steals, 2 blocks
Devin Harris, New Jersey Nets
vs. Golden State Warriors
31 points, 12 dimes, 7 boards
Antonio McDyess, Detroit Pistons
vs. New York Knicks
21 points, 22 boards
Bust of the Night
Rashard Lewis, Orlando Magic
vs. Chicago Bulls
3 points, 5 boards, 2 dimes, 0-for-9 from the floor
While guys like Tony Battie (yes, that Tony Battie) were lighting up the Bulls for 18 points, Lewis couldn't buy a bucket.
It didn't matter much from the team's perspective because they walked away with a win. But when you count on a guy like Lewis to give you some three point scoring and rebounding numbers, this kind of performance is unacceptable.
