I’m not sure about you guys, but when I get a four-day work week (President’s Day this past Monday), I find myself still cramming five days of work into less time - and it’s not fun.  Ironically enough, the NBA took this past Monday off as well, but proceeded to get as many games in as possible.  This week is a little different.  We have more four-week teams, along with some solid action to watch on Monday.

Number of Games This Week:

Atlanta Hawks - 4; Boston Celtics - 4; Charlotte Bobcats - 4; Chicago Bulls - 4; Cleveland Cavaliers - 3; Dallas Mavericks - 4; Denver Nuggets - 3; Detroit Pistons - 2; Golden State Warriors - 4; Houston Rockets - 4; Indiana Pacers - 3; Los Angeles Clippers - 4; Los Angeles Lakers - 3; Memphis Grizzlies - 4; Miami Heat - 3; Milwaukee Bucks - 3; Minnesota Timberwolves - 3; New Jersey Nets - 3; New Orleans Hornets - 4; New York Knicks - 4; Orlando Magic - 4; Philadelphia 76ers - 4; Phoenix Suns - 4; Portland Trail Blazers - 3; Sacramento Kings - 4; San Antonio Spurs - 3; Seattle Supersonics - 4; Toronto Raptors - 4; Utah Jazz - 4; Washington Wizards – 4

POINT GUARDS

Alvin Lai went with his fellow Canadian as the top point guard this week, but with the rest of us going with “Agent Zero,” Nash will have to settle for the second slot.  Chris Paul rounding off the top three may be a permanent spot for him through the duration of the season.

Gilbert Arenas
1. Gilbert Arenas (1.25)
2. Steve Nash (1.75)
3. Chris Paul (3.00)
4. Ray Felton (4.50) - Despite rough shooting as of late
5. Allen Iverson (6.75)
5. Kirk Hinrich (6.75)
7. Jason Kidd (7.25)
8. Deron Williams (7.75) - Seems low for a four game week
9. Mike Bibby (8.00)
10. Andre Miller (11.00)
10. Jason Terry (11.00)
12. Maurice Williams (12.75)
13. Chauncey Billups (13.50) - Two games for Detroit slides him down a bit
14. Stephon Marbury (14.00)
14. Tony Parker (14.00)

DescriptionYawn. When Fred Jones for Juan Dixon is the biggest trade on deadline day, it generates about as much excitement as watching the kettle boil. At the risk of coming of as too “corporate,” check out this ESPN article that grades each team’s performance at the trade deadline here. Props to Bill Simmons for giving T-dot some love.

Was it not kind of interesting that the talk had been fantasy-esque?...Jason Kidd joining Kobe Bryant, trading a proven commodity like Pau Gasol for potential in Luol Deng and/or Ben Gordon. If your league commissioner has any smarts, your fantasy trading deadline comes up after the NBA’s. Granted, there is not much to adjust to this year, but in other years, some trades go down that have significant impact in fantasy circles. So what should be on your mind as fantasy hoops hits its stretch drive?

Michael Redd is back on the court handling businessThanks to All-Star weekend, there is a small sample size of games to draw from, so I’ll tweak it up a bit this week by highlighting players and giving you blurbs for each one.  There will be no suggestions for players to keep an eye on or ones you shouldn’t believe the hype for.  However, I think you’ll live and all will still be well in your fantasy basketball world… unless you own Dwyane Wade.  Read on at your own discretion, but you may need some tissues.

Statistics are from February 16th – February 22nd

POINTS

BULLISH

Michael Redd, SG, Milwaukee Bucks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 2 G; 27.5 PPG; 43.5 FG%; 72.7 FT%

Much to the relief of the Bucks and many fantasy owners alike, Redd is back on the court and he’s pretty much picking up where he left off.  It was a little bit shaky in Redd’s first game back as he “only” scored 17 points shooting an ugly 7-for-18 from the field, but his performance the following night allayed any fear.  On the second night of a back-to-back, Redd scored 38 points in 40 minutes, including hitting six three-pointers.  That performance shows that Redd may be getting his game legs and wrists back sooner than later.

Eddie Jones rocks the old MJ'sWire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs. It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist—all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time.

Only a few nights back from All-Star weekend, and we’ve already had our first superstar go down with a major injury. All-World guard Dwyane Wade could miss up to six weeks with a separated shoulder. While this is truly unfortunate, it will provide a lot of opportunities for other players. Couple this with a few teams experiencing holes of their own, and we have ourselves yet another week of solid waiver wire potential.
