1. Danny Granger, Indiana Pacers
Danny Granger continues to make a very good case for himself as a 2008-09 NBA All-Star. In the month of January, he’s elevated his game to another level. He’s averaging more than 33 points per game, he’s shooting well from the field and from beyond the arc. Granger is also getting to the line a ton and hitting better than 90%.
2. Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat

2) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers

1) Baron Davis, Golden State Warriors
Davis has been a fantasy workhorse lately. He’s doing it all – from scoring to assisting to rebounding to stealing. He’s even mixing in some blocked shots. If you have Davis on your team right now, you are definitely reaping the reward. Davis has been healthy this season and is having a career year.

2) Marcus Camby, Denver Nuggets
Camby, even though he has been in the league for a while, is having his best season. His scoring numbers won’t blow you away but his rebounding and blocks will. Camby can single-handedly win you those two categories. …read more

After the Pacers 121-111 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, Indiana has improved to 3-0.

While the season has a long ways to go, perhaps the Pacers can reclaim a spot in the playoffs.

Jermaine O’Neal
O’Neal can put up very good stats when he’s healthy. The problem has been keeping him healthy over the last couple years. He missed the season opener but has played in both games since.
Mike Dunleavy, …read more
