Mostly NBA Notes: Al Horford blowing up, Stephen Curry on fire and Dirk Nowitzki’s reemergence

Source: Roto Arcade by Dalton Del Don

Previously one of the more durable players in the league, Al Horford destroyed fantasy owners last season when a torn pectoral muscle ended his year after just 11 games played. However, he’s currently averaging career highs in ppg (17.4), rpg (10.0), spg (1.0) and FG% (55.7). Horford has been a top-20 fantasy player this season despite shooting a career-low 60.7 percent at the line, which is nowhere near his career mark of 73.7, so it’s safe to expect improvement there down the stretch. Among those in the top-five in double-doubles this season, only Horford and Dwight Howard also average at least 1.0 spg and 1.0 bpg. Horford’s Usage Rate (20.59) isn’t well above league average, but it’s a career high,

Back in October, Mo Williams was one of my building blocks in the Yahoo! Friends and Family League, my sixth-round pick, the 71st player off the board. We had some good times. The team is off to a solid start. We had an enjoyable 9 1/2 weeks.

But this is No Country for Injured Men, not in a league without IR slots. When the news came down Williams would miss at least six weeks due to his busted thumb, I knew it was time to move forward.

Thanks for the memories, baller.

Day 28: Where The Bobcats Lose by 45 Points

Line of the Night: I guess LaMarcus Aldridge’s (2.56) back is doing just fine, thank you very much. A night after sitting out with a sore back, Aldridge returned to the lineup against the Pistons and had his best game of the season, scoring 32 points, and adding 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks in 41 minutes on the court. Word is that the Pistons focused their defensive efforts on stopping Damian Lillard, leaving Aldridge (relatively) free to do his thing. The result was a huge night for Aldridge, a quiet one for Lillard, and one win for the Pistons. Still, its great news for anxious Aldridge owners, who can now relax just a bit.

Line of the Night: Kevin Durant (3.33 WARP) currently sits at the top of our player rater by a huge margin, averaging 1.44 wins/week this year in 9-cat leagues compared to the second best player, LeBron James, at 1.10 wins. And I can see why. Last night was at least the third line of the night performance from Durant so far this season as he led the Thunder to an overtime win over the Sixers with 37 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in nearly 50 minutes on the court! With Harden gone this season, Durant has actually become a bit more of a playmaker in addition to all the scoring – he’s averaging 4.5 assists per game – up from 3.5 lasts season.

I think YouTube works in all countries, but just in case: It’s Dwight Howard (in an ugly ass all white uniform) with Carmelo (in what appears to be an all orange uniform), Joe Johnson in all black (which actually works for that one), Russell Westbrook, and Dwyane Wade, all dribbling basketballs in time to the Carol of the Bells to promote their special (and generally awful) Christmas Day uniforms.
