Day 73 of 170: The Rudy Gay Takover

Okay, so Gay (6.06) didn't actually have the Line of the Night. And there were only 3 games yesterday, meaning even guys like Francisco Garcia (5.29) can make the top 10 and Kyle Lowry (3.63) can crack the top 20. But still, Gay's 31 points, 4 threes, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals (not to mention 69% FG and 90% FT shooting) are a fantasy line to be reckoned with. Line of the Night: And doing The Reckoning? Rasheed Wallace (6.40). Wallace had 23 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 partridges in pear trees. (I'm assuming that each partridge comes with its own pear tree) It had been a while (say, 2 months) since Rasheed had put up a line of domination like that one. Waiver Wire Line of the Night: You know what? I'm going to go with Nobody. Only 57 players were rated fantasy-wise last night, and after looking at about 10 players who are on probably on the Waiver Wire, I've come to the conclusion that none of them are any better than anyone you should already have on your team. I mean, do you really want me to decide between Kyle Lowry's efficient 8 points and 6 assists and Juan Carlos Navarro's 10 points and 6 assists on 2-13 shooting? The Biggest Loser: I know a lot of people were high on Jason Maxiell coming into this season (right? I didn't make that up did I?), so let me bring everyone down a little here. Maxiell (1.90) checked in at #48 last night with 4 points on 2-8 shooting, adding only 2 rebounds, 1 assists, and a block. And that was in 28 minutes in a blowout win. According to Yahoo, though, his rank for the season is 137 against his O-Rank of 131. So much for Upside Potential.
