There were a whole bunch of injuries in the NBA this week. I had an injury scare or two….

Dirk sprained his ankle against the Sonics and Nash rolled his ankle against the Wizards. Dirk’s injury looked really bad on the replay but he was playing against the Clippers on Friday. I hope he doesn’t aggravate it. Nash has been the best player for my team this season.

To boost my 3pt shooting, I picked up R Butler did week. With Peja out, he is going to get time to hit the 3ball. He’s hit 6 this week, so that helps. He also looks good for a couple of steals but I’m hoping he heats up and knocks down more treys.

Bell has been on a cold streak this week. He’ll heat up again and make up for it. I noticed he has a tendency to be a streaky shooter.

Diaw continues his strong play for the team. After a slow start to the season, he is turning into the Diaw of old. G Wallace has also started turning it around. I’m hoping they start making up for the slow start.

TJ Ford has been on a tear without C Bosh around. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when Bosh gets back.

L Head has been playing well for me. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when TMac and Bonzi start to get it going again. I’m contemplating selling high on him or just riding his threes for the season.

Big Al has been on a tear. With Pierce out, I hope he takes his play to the next level. I dropped T Allen to pick up D Wilkins again. With the injury to Rashard Lewis, I’m hoping Wilkins gets more playing time.

Gasol continues to gain playing time. Once he starts getting more than 30 minutes a game, he’ll start for sure. Even now, I think he’s worth playing already.

The team now looks like this:
Guards: Nash, Bell, Ford
Forwards: Nowitzki, Brand, Wallace
Centers: Diaw, Gasol
Bench: A Jefferson, R Jefferson, Webber, Head, R Butler, D Wilkins
