Fantasy Wake Up Call - April 2

Since his return to the starting lineup on March 11, Ellis has been doing everything in his power to help Warriors fans forget about Jamal Crawford.

Ellis isn't a guy that will ever average anywhere near 9 APG, but his abilities as a scorer and above average rebounder are compensation enough. The situation out in the Bay Area is cloudy to say the least, with a roster chocked full of talent that consistently finds ways to underachieve every night.

While it may be too late this year, next season Ellis should be a tremendous fantasy option running the point for your squad.

Top Performers

Kevin Martin, Kings
vs. Warriors
50 points, 3 dimes, 3 boards, 2 steals

Chris Paul, Hornets
vs. Clippers
30 points, 14 dimes, 4 boards, 6 steals

Steve Nash, Suns
vs. Rockets
25 points, 17 dimes, 3 steals

Bust of the Night

Dwayne Wade, Heat
vs. Mavericks
23 points, 6 dimes, 3 boards, 4 TO

I'm so used to writing about Dwayne Wade in the Player of the Night section that I figured he should end up here at least once before the season ends.

This 9-for-20 performance was an above average night for the better part of players in the Association.

But not for Dwayne Wade. For him, this is garbage.
