Marc Gasol anchored the Grizzlies in their victory on Monday, posting 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting, six rebounds, three assists, two steals and four blocks.
How good has Gasol been this season? His averages speak for themselves -- 15.2 points on 61% shooting, 11.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks.
Grizzlies PG Jamaal Tinsley had seven points, three assists and three turnovers in 19 minutes off the bench on Monday.
Mike Conley (11 points, seven assists in 26 minutes) hasn't been too impressive lately, but so far he's doing enough to hold off Tinsley. Neither guy should be in your active lineups.
Rudy Gay's strong play continued on Monday as he posted 24 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in a win vs. the Kings.
Gay is looking like a steal in this year's fantasy drafts, returning to the all-around game that makes him a roto stud. We see no reason he can't keep this up all season.
Grizzlies guard Mike Conley had 11 points, five assists and two steals in 30 minutes on Saturday, but his team lost and fell to 4-9 on the season.
Conley played well, while backup PG Marcus Williams played poorly (0-of-6 shooting in 21 minutes) and Jamaal Tinsley did not play at all. This is modest improvement, to be sure, but right now Conley's owners have to take what they can get.
Not a single team besides the Knicks has shown any interest in signing free agent Allen Iverson, according to ESPN.
It might take an injury to open up a roster spot for Iverson, who has proven that he's incapable of accepting a backup role. Keep him on your bench if you want, but don't expect any imminent production.
Rudy Gay tied a season-high with 33 points to go along with 10 rebounds, two steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers in the first road win of the season for Memphis, who has surprisingly won three straight.
Gay is having a great season and this is what we were expecting from him last year. He even hit 14-of-22 shots for good measure, as the Grizzlies shocked the Sixers in Philly tonight.
Despite several reports that Allen Iverson was a near certainty to sign with the New York Knicks, the team has decided not to pursue him for the 2009-2010 season.
Team president Donnie Walsh seemed sold on Iverson but objections from coach Mike D'Antoni and chairman James L. Dolan swayed the decision. D'Antoni and Dolan cited Iverson's volatility and believed he would be too great of a risk to team chemistry. So much for Iverson giving fantasy teams an unexpected boost next week, although he could end up with another team soon. But the Knicks sure looked like the perfect place for Iverson this season.
