Shawn Marion, Miami Heat
Although Shawn Marion is usually one of the safer bets in all of fantasy basketball, his situation just isn’t as great as usual this year. He no longer has Steve Nash helping him out and is instead in a lame duck type situation with the Heat due to his expiring contract. Not only that, the Heat have a lot of players that could get time at the forward positions including Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem, James Jones, Dorell Wright and Yakhouba Diawara.

1) Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
As the season went on, Amare Stoudemire got strong and stronger. By the last couple months of the season, Stoudemire was by far the best fantasy basketball bigman in the game. His past injury concerns are now behind him.

2) Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
The only reason Kevin Garnett slipped a bit in fantasy basketball was because the Celtics were just too good. With Garnett’s minutes down, his overall fantasy impact wasn’t as impressive. However, he was still a very good player this year.

Dirk Nowitzki didn’t have the most consistent season …read more

Luis Scola, Houston Rockets
Now that he’s in the starting lineup, there’s no reason why Luis Scola can’t be the best rookie power forward in the NBA. He’s experienced, smart and plays in a system conducive to his strengths. He should eventually become a player who can average around 12 and 8 on the NBA level.

Yi Jianlian, Miwaukee Bucks
There is a lot of hype surrounding Yi Jianlian but most of that hype is warranted. He has a pure jumper that extends all the way out to the three-point line. He can rebound and mix in some blocked shots. Everything about him …read more

Luis Scola, Houston Rockets
After playing well in a reserve role, Luis Scola is now starting for the Houston Rockets. Chuck Hayes began the season as the team’s starting power forward but Scola has taken over due to his myriad of skills. He has shown to be a capable scorer, rebounder and even passer. His fantasy value could rise greatly if he starts to average big minutes.

Al Thornton, Los Angeles Clippers
Al Thornton has been in and out of the starting lineup for the Clippers. As the season wears on and the Clippers fall further and further out of …read more

1) Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
Garnett has become a very balanced and efficient fantasy player as of late. He’s not doing any one thing exceptionally great but he also doesn’t hurt your fantasy team at all. He’s an all-around great player right now and he’s making his fantasy owners very happy. His scoring and rebounding should improve as the season progresses.
2) Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Nowitzki started the season off in a slump but has turned it all around. He’s back to being an MVP caliber player for the Mavericks. His shooting has been a little shaky recently but that slight dip …read more

Kurt Thomas, Seattle Supersonics
Thomas isn’t a very exciting player and he’s up there in age. That said, the Sonics literally can’t win without him. All season long, Seattle has only one victory in games in which Thomas doesn’t start. In games he does start, the Sonics have seven wins. Due to that stat, you can expect to see a lot of Thomas – as long as the Sonics are actively trying to win.
Anderson Varejao, Cleveland Cavaliers
Lost in all the holdout talk is the fact that Varejao is actually a good player. Not only that, Varejao …read more
