What are the Dallas Mavs and Rick Carlisle hiding regarding Dirk Nowitzki? Give a status update. Spill some news. We are all dying here if we, indeed, own him…I knew Rashard Lewis could still contribute. Just not around ball hog extraordinaire Dwight Howard… Brandon Roy’s arhroscopic surgery makes Wesley Matthews a must play every week whn healthy and LaMarcus Aldridge a beast… Hedo Turkoglu is turning into a true source of assists, though his scoring is still not up to par for the Magic… Nice to see Chris Bosh contribute in the face of all other Miami Heaerst not doing so yesterday…  Russell Westbrook is such a stud…  The person who told me to take Al Harrington in the draft should be shot and stabbed…

GETTIN' GEEK'D (1/9)

Five on the Rise

Now that the clock has hit 00:00 on the fantasy football season, it’s time to get those fantasy hoops squads in tip-top shape. The 2010 portion of the NBA season was full of surprises, as injuries, trades and the fallout from the big summer of free agency opened the door for new stars to shine. Bargain-hunting owners who like to pan for gold on the waiver wire and deal for buy-low candidates have already struck it rich with guys like Wesley Matthews, Beno Udrih and Hedo Turkoglu. Now that you’ve got that new 2011 Puppies & Kittens calendar on your wall, The Geek will get you up to speed on the next round of players whose stock may be about to rise. Some of the guys on the following list may be owned in your league and others may not be ownable just yet. But they’re all worth keeping an eye on.

HUSTLE POINTS (1/9)

Another week has gone by. I am playing the Fantasy Geek himself in the basketball league we are in together this week. I am hanging on by the skin of my teeth thanks to Dirk Nowitzki and his continued day-to-day status. Oh hell… let’s just call it what it is… week-to-week.

Nice to see a triple-double out of Rajon Rondo the other day. Just sayin’… That Orlando-Phoenix trade sure beat the hell out of Gilbert Arenas‘ value. And I know someone who took him in the third round… Even if you need nothing but blocks, DeAndre Jordan is your man. 19 in his last three. I would have picked him up, only I wanted Glen Davis more… David Lee has become so versatile in that Golden State offense. He is amazing and justifies his draft position with his play… Dirk Nowitzki, come back!… Obviously, the presence of Andrew Bynum in Lakerland does not affect the play of Lamar Odom, thanks to the complete disappearance of Ron Artest. Hate away, Phil… Raymond Felton, I had no idea. Miss Larry Brown much?
