The Daily Dose: Dose: Gerald Seeing Green
Thursday, November 13, 2014
As far as Big Wednesdays go, last night had a lot of steak but no sizzle. Sure, there were plenty of big lines and some games that ran down to the wire, but the biggest storyline I keep coming away with is the disaster in Denver. Of course, there is a ton to talk about on a micro-level and I’ll cover most of that in the Bruski Breakdown later today. But with no big injuries or blockbuster matchups to rile folks up, it was a good night to fire up your daily fantasy squad and casually monitor the action.

INJURIES
Nick Young (thumb): How many times in your life will you get to say, ‘if the Lakers can get Swaggy P back it could be a real boost.’ Not only will it be great television to watch him test Kobe Bryant’s patience, but it could be the counterweight to the Lakers’ unwillingness to challenge Kobe on the merits of his one-man attack. Regardless, the Lakers need playmakers in a bad way and Young is a must-own player in my book, even if there is a small amount of risk that Kobe chokes him out at some point.
Victor Oladipo (face): Buried in a Twitter reply to a beat writer’s follower, it was surmised that Oladipo could return as soon as Friday. That’s pretty much par for the course on Orlando injury reporting, as Tobias Harris’ ankle injury last year was underreported on in an extremely detrimental way. It wouldn’t be shocking if Kyle O’Quinn’s ankle injury got the same treatment.
Nene (shoulder): He’ll be re-evaluated today and appeared to play through the injury last night, but Kris Humphries (25 minutes, 12 points, nine boards, two blocks) should be on radars. Drew Gooden (DNP-CD) is also on that list for his propensity to be a destitute man’s Nene when pressed into action.
Derrick Rose (ankles): He’s this year’s Dwyane Wade in the early going and despite the probable tag, he needs to be monitored all the way until tip-off these days.
James Harden (ankle): Left the game briefly but returned and looked fine.
Dwyane Wade (hamstring): Tweaked it during the game but finished the game. It’s still worth watching, obviously.
Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder): May not start in his season debut, but it does look like he’ll play and rust should be expected. He missed an entire summer of development and it’ll be interesting to see how that frames his season.
Darren Collison (shoulder): He practiced yesterday and is expected to play against the Grizzlies tonight, where he’ll have to deal with Mike Conley and the solid Memphis defense. The Grizz have the horses to slow the Kings’ primary threats, and that could lead to some bogged down numbers across the board for Sacramento.

WELCOME BACK
Anthony Morrow had already returned to action on Tuesday but he made his presence known last night, scoring in a variety of ways and against Rajon Rondo at times, finishing with 28 points on 11-of-16 shooting, five rebounds and four treys in 31 minutes. I mentioned yesterday that I didn’t see him playing more than 20-25 minutes this season due to defensive deficiencies and I also didn’t expect him to come out ready to roll in heavy minutes. But Scott Brooks came out right after we published yesterday and set Morrow’s target at 30 minutes against the Celtics, and last night’s result should lengthen his leash considerably when it matters as guys start to return. Of course he’s worth a 1-2 week add, but I still think owners trying to measure their FAAB budgets need to prepare for 23-26 mpg throughout December.
PICKUPS
Gerald Green cares not for your concerns about low minutes. He scored a season-high 28 points with five rebounds, three assists, one steal and three treys in 27 minutes. This line isn’t a fluke in the sense that he has been playing well for most of the year, and he and Isaiah Thomas (21 points, four rebounds, two assists) are terrorizing opposing backcourts. As a top-100 play with numbers that aren’t way over the top for his statistical profile, owners in 12-team leagues may want to consider grabbing him and hoping the long-term results outweigh the peaks and valleys. Of course, any injury ahead of him would break him free.
Evan Fournier is yet the most recent indictment of the Nuggets’ brass, though everybody thought it was the other way around when he was traded for Arron Afflalo. Fournier hit 8-of-14 shots for 28 points, two rebounds, two assists and four steals in last night’s win over the Knicks, and as I said yesterday owners should walk him right to the cliff when Victor Oladipo (face) returns as soon as Friday. Elfrid Payton is struggling mightily right now and shifting Fournier into some point guards could keep him over 25 mpg when the Magic are at full strength. That would keep him in a late-round profile, but he’ll need to win the battle of regressions between his inflated field goal percentage (51.4%) and underperforming mark at the foul line (70.5%).
THE MIDDLE
Zach LaVine got the lion’s share of minutes (34) in Mexico City last night against the Rockets, scoring eight points on 2-of-9 shooting with three rebounds, nine assists and three turnovers. On the other end of that, Mo Williams went 0-for-5 and turned up just two points and six assists in 14 minutes. With Williams’ minutes a question mark and LaVine not completely wilting, it makes sense to stake the rookie if you’re trying to find the Ricky Rubio beneficiary. It’s still not clear if LaVine has mid-round upside, so be willing to part if you come across a mid-to-high level free agent.
Timofey Mozgov, like many of his teammates, is in purgatory with the Brian Shaw situation. Nobody is happy and his game isn’t one to fluctuate much, so the depressed numbers and minutes are symptomatic of the locker room problems. I’m not going to go to the mat saying he’s somebody that can’t be exchanged for a hot free agent, but I do think the fact the Nuggets did this last year provides a narrative that he can turn it around.
Most folks around the Lakers are clamoring for more Ed Davis (eight points, 11 boards, two blocks, 27 minutes) and rightfully so, but he needs to clean up the 44.4 percent foul shooting to pay off on a successful stash. Hopefully he gets the bad shooting out of his system by the time he is invariably called in for mop-up duty in the second half of the season.
DROPS
Arron Afflalo played just 10 minutes last night and he doesn’t have nearly enough statistical upside to survive lower workloads, let alone complete and total meltdowns. Factor in the Denver quasi-depth and this is an easy cut.
Tim Hardaway Jr. hit just 1-of-8 shots for two points and I just don’t get the appeal unless he’s scoring upward of 20 points per game. He doesn’t do anything but hit threes and that makes his mission impossible on most nights.
As far as Big Wednesdays go, last night had a lot of steak but no sizzle.
