Player of the Night
Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat
vs. Orlando Magic
42 points, 4 boards, 4 dimes, 4 steals, 1 block
It's safe to say that Dwayne Wade is officially the Fantasy Factor's Player of the Year.
He's dropped 40 points or more an astounding 12 times this season, 50 or more twice, and is currently averaging a shade over 33 for the month of March. But Wade wouldn't be deserving of this recognition if he wasn't such a complete player.
If the season ended today, Wade would match a career high in APG (7.5) and set career bests in BPG, PPG and SPG. He's having what would be in any other year an MVP campaign, but that hardware should end up in LeBron James' closet at year's end.
Top Performers
Richard Jefferson, Bucks
vs. New Jersey Nets
29 points, 2 dimes, 10 boards, 4-for-5 from long distance
Deron Williams, Jazz
vs. New York Knicks
24 points, 13 dimes, 2 boards, 2 steals
Dwight Howard, Magic
vs. Miami Heat
22 points, 18 boards
Bust of the Night
Devin Harris, New Jersey Nets
vs. Milwaukee Bucks
10 points, 3 dimes, 4 boards, 2 TO, 3-for-11 from the floor
Not a terrible night for Harris, but certainly not up to his 22.2 PPG and 7 APG averages this season. The Nets have basically lost any chance of making the playoffs and last night's effort against the Bucks showed it.
