With the an injury to Mike James and the continued absence of the projected eventual starter TJ Ford, former second round Jazz pick Maurice Williams has stumbled into some playing time for the Milwaukee Bucks. He has responded by chipping in around 10 assists per game which has gotten the attention of fantasy owners everywhere who have gobbled him up despite his associated 36% field goal percentage. Don’t give up too much realizing his downside of the return of the other PG’s and the fact he is an unproven player.

Since the preseason I have been intrigued by NJ point guard Zoran Planinic. With the recent loss of Ron Mercer from the Nets back court some additional minutes may come his way. On Saturday night he had 16 points, 9 reb, 4 ast, and 3 steals. He may be worth a flyer. His downside is that he is an unproven player, the Nets will find themselves in demoralizing blow out losses frequently when the whole team scores 65 points, and the eventual return of Jason Kidd.

Jason Hart piqued the interest of fantasy owners when he had 23 assists in two games. But playing with the Bobcats there will be nights such as last night where his production is minimal. Still worth a flyer particularly with Brevin Knight hurt.

Eddie House joins the list of players worth taking a flyer on with three consecutive games of double figure scoring including 20 last night.

Ben Gordon may currently be out of favor but acquiring now at a cheap price to me could be a wise move. Teammate Tyson Chandler is another who’s stock is currently low and worth a look.

The love-hate relationship with Drew Gooden continues with last night being a night of affection (14 pts, 15 rebs, 4 st, 2 bl). A couple games ago owners were considering dropping him after a two game total of 6 reb.

At one point last night Antoine Walker was 4-16 but he finished 9-21. Such is life with a streaky shooter.
