Steve Nash, Phoenix Suns
Although Steve Nash got off to a slow start after the departure of Mike D’Antoni, he’s starting to find his old self. In the month of January, he’s leading the NBA in assists — averaging more than 11 per game. Expect him to continue to play at a high level for the rest of the season.
Deron Williams, Utah Jazz
Early in the season, Deron Williams missed time due to an ankle injury. Even when he got back on the court, he wasn’t playing that well. But now he seems like he’s close to 100% and he’s back to …read more

Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz suffered a potentially serious ankle injury in a preseason game on Saturday. Williams, who has been relatively healthy throughout his career, will have an MRI on Monday.
After suffering the injured ankle, Williams was carried to the locker room. After the game, he was seen in a wheelchair. Williams declined to comment following the contest. The good news is that x-rays didn’t show a broken bone.
For as long as Williams is out, the Jazz will go with Ronnie Price and Brevin Knight at point guard. Price will likely be the starter, while Knight will go …read more

Here’s a look at an underrated fantasy player at each position.
C Andris Biedrins, Golden State Warriors
People don’t realize how much of a stud this guy is and how good he can become. He’s only 21 years old and last year he averaged over nine points, nine rebounds and nearly two blocks. The most exciting part is he did all that in under 30 minutes per game. Biedrins is still a baby as far as his NBA development and he has the potential to take his game up a few notches. If he does and gets added minutes, he’s a player …read more

The point guard position is very deep in this year.  There are about 25 legit point guard prospects that could start for your fantasy team and produce at a high level.  While the ones at the top are obvious, here are three sleeper point guard picks for the 2007-08 season.
Deron Williams, Utah Jazz
A lot of people have Williams rated outside of their top ten fantasy point guards.  Personally, I think that is ridiculously low.  If you watched how he played in the playoffs, you would have watched a superstar being born.  Williams is going to average a large number of …read more
