| Brandon Roy, G, Portland Trailblazers | Monday 2/4, 11:54 PM CT |
|
| Brandon Roy, as he has done most of the season, led the Blazers on Monday night with a fantastic all-around game though it wasn't enough for the Trailblazers to pull out a victory. Roy had 26 points, seven rebounds and eight assists, though he was only 10-for-24 from the field. Jarrett Jack also had a huge night with 17 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, though he did turn the ball over seven times. |

|
|
| Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points with 15 rebounds and five assists in the Nuggets 105-103 OT victory over the Bulls. Unfortunately Melo was only 10-for-27 from the field somewhat dampening solid raw numbers. Allen Iverson was equally as horrible from the field as he hit only 10-of-28 shots on his way to 25 points. |
|
|
|
| Wally Szczerbiak was in mid-season form on Monday night as he hit 3-of-4 three pointers and 6-of-12 shots overall on his way to 21 points in the Sonics loss to the Bulls.

|
|
|
| Jannero Pargo entered Monday night scoring an average of 7.5 points per game which didn't stop him from scoring a Hornet high 24 points in the team's loss to the Jazz. Pargo was effective from the field going 9-for-14 including sinking three three pointers. |
|
|
|
| Deron Williams once again was the star for the Jazz as he scored 29 points while dishing out 11 assists in the team's ninth straight victory on Monday night in a 110-88 victory over the Hornets. The Jazz also managed to convert 14-of-22 three pointers to set a team record which included Williams effort of 4-for-5 from behind the arc. |
|
|
|
| Amare Stoudemire had 24 points and 11 rebounds on only 11 shots, he converted seven, as he totaled almost half his points from the charity stripe (10-for-12).

|
|
|
| Tracy McGrady had a season-high seven turnovers but that was the only negative in his 26 point, six rebound, seven assist outing in the Rockets 92-86 victory over Minnesota. Houston has now won eight of its last nine games since McGrady returned from a knee injury, and they have won eight straight games on the road. |
|
|
|
| Dwyane Wade was limited to just 12 points on Monday night as the hapless Heat fell for the 19th time in 20 games, including losing 10 of their last 11 games at home.

|
| Chris Bosh, F, Toronto Raptors | Monday 2/4, 9:44 PM CT |

|
|
|
| Corey Maggette, who missed the last four games due to the flu, returned to the lineup on Monday night and scored 19 points in the Clippers 103-94 victory over the hapless Knicks.

|
|
|
| Andre Miller scored 29 points to lead the Sixers in their 96-91 loss to the Hawks in a game in which they led by 18 points after the first period. Andre Igoudala added 22 points, seven rebounds and four assists in the loss. |
|
| Josh Smith, F, Atlanta Hawks | Monday 2/4, 9:30 PM CT |
|
| Josh Smith had one of the most complete games of his career on Monday night as he scored 19 points with nine assists, six rebounds, four steals and a career best nine blocked shots in the Hawks 96-91 victory over the Sixers. Josh Childress added 21 points in support of Smith who had a massive fantasy performance. |
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
| Brad Miller, the Kings center who was just named NBA player of the week, picked up nine stitches in his injured finger on Sunday after an accident at home, and as a result could miss the team's next game on Wednesday. Miller was on a huge role averaging 22 points, 18.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.0 blocks in the Kings three wins last week, so hopefully his stupidity while washing dishes won't keep him out of action long. |
|
|
|
| Stromile Swift was traded on Monday to the New Jersey Nets for Jason Collins and cash. Smith has averaged less than 16 minutes per game up until this point, but the infusion of athleticism that he brings will be a nice boost for the Nets team that has lost 10 of 12 games amidst talk that Jason Kidd would be moved. For his part, Collins is a solid defensive player who is almost devoid of an offensive game which means he bares no attention whatsoever from a fantasy perspective. |
|
| T.J. Ford, G, Toronto Raptors | Monday 2/4, 3:47 PM CT |
|
| T.J. Ford, who hasn't played since he was taken off the floor on a stretcher on Dec. 11, is expected to dress for tonight's game against the Heat, according to the Toronto Star. "I think I'm going to give it a shot tonight," said Ford. "I feel like I'm 100 per cent coming in to playing. I think I can come out and help the team. I think I'm ready to play, so I'll come in early, break a sweat." |

|
| Damon Stoudamire completed his first workout with the Spurs on Sunday, according to the San Antonio Express News. With Tony Parker shelved for at least the remaining six games of the team's road trip, which resumes Tuesday at Indiana, the Spurs should find immediate playing time for Stoudamire. |

|
| Devean George, injured entering the season and mostly buried on the Mavericks bench since, said he's open to a trade to a team that would give him more playing time and help him increase his value as an unrestricted free agent this summer, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I have to play," George said. "I've had my share of injuries, and my thing is I have to be out on the floor. I have to show that I'm healthy. In reality, I don't have a job. You want to look at the team first, but, obviously, I would be lying to you if I wasn't thinking about my future as well." |

|
| Luke Jackson missed yesterday's game with the flu and is questionable for tonight's contest against Toronto, according to the Miami Herald. |
|
|
|
| Udonis Haslem remains sidelined with a left ankle injury, according to the Miami Herald. He was at practice yesterday and continues to wear a protective boot. Heat coach Pat Riley said he is unsure whether Haslem will play before the All-Star break Feb. 15. |
|
|
|
| Marcus Camby, who leads the Western Conference with 14.3 rebounds per game, is questionable for tonight's game because of a bruised left knee, according to the Denver Post. "I would love to have him back — we struggled without his rebounds (against Charlotte on Saturday)," Nuggets guard Anthony Carter said. "You can see a big difference with him out there, changing shots, things like that. He brings a whole different dimension to our team, and we miss him big time, because you can't replace that." If Camby is unable to play tonight, seldom-used Steven Hunter could start at center. Hunter had eight points, six rebounds and two blocked shots Saturday against Charlotte. |

|
| Eduardo Najera missed Saturday's game because of a bruised lower rib, but he said he will try to play on Monday, according to the Denver Post. Najera is averaging 6.1 PPG this season. |

|
| Kevin Garnett has missed three straight games with an abdominal strain, and that count is expected to rise, according to the Boston Globe. Celtics coach Doc Rivers continued to say that Garnett's injury is no worse than first believed. Garnett most likely is out for Tuesday night’s game in Cleveland and Wednesday’s home affair with the Clippers. “There’s no date (for his return),” Rivers said. “It could be as early as this weekend or it could be after All-Star break (Feb. 15-17). Now this break’s over and he’s not back, but he had four days of no games, so that was a benefit. Hopefully, he’s back before All-Star break, but if he’s not, then we have that whole break, as well.” |
