PLAYERS: Nick Collison, Paul Pierce, Kareem Rush, Baron Davis, Carlos Delfino, Jamal Crawford, Jannero Pargo, Morris Peterson, Jameer Nelson
Line of the Night: Carlos Delfino (5.32) did his best to look like one of the league's elite last night with 26 points on 8-11, including 5 three pointers and adding 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. He was also 5-5 from the line.
Honorable Mentions: Jamal Crawford (5.05) helped the Knicks take out the Nets with 35 points, 6 three pointers, and 8 assists; Baron Davis (4.73) had a Cambyesque defensive game with 7 steals and 2 blocks; and since we're already into the 4's, I'm just going to stop there.
Waiver Wire Line of the Night: The obvious choice is Carlos Delfino, but since he's had kind of a hot streak lately, that probably means it's already over. So, let's look at Jannero Pargo (3.74), who had 18 points and 3 threes on 7-9 to go along with 4 assists, 2 steals, and a block. He only played 18 minutes, though, so unless he's shooting 77% every night? Let's go with Kareem Rush (3.66). His FG% has been pretty atrocious, but over the last month he is dropping a couple threes a game along with 11.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers.
The Biggest Loser: Morris Peterson once again makes a case with 1-9 from the field, and Jermaine O'Neal really wants it after leaving the game with a sore knee after playing 9 minutes just one game after getting 27, 9 and 6 blocks? Jameer Nelson was also on the comeback trail before leaving yesterday's game after 16 minutes with a strained foot tendon. Paul Pierce's NBA.com photo seems to be crying out for it after going 3-11 last night, but I can't bring myself to give TBL to someone who had 8 rebounds and 5 assists no matter what else happened. Well, maybe if he had like 10 turnovers.
I guess Nick Collison was being rested in a blowout against the Hornets, and since he's gimpy it's also tough to give it to him. And he did have 24 and 18 just two days prior. But his 1-6 shooting in the 22 minutes he did play had to have at least contributed to the 19 point deficit the Sonics faced at halftime. So, let's go with Nick and call it day.

36 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 0 turnovers; 12 for 30 from the field, but they got the win.
This kid's been playing out of his mind this past month, completely under the radar. For the past month, he's been averaging 25.7/7.6/4.9, 3.6 blocks+steals to 3.6 turnovers, 1.6 3s, 47% from the field and getting about 10 shots from the line.
Anyone know who I'm talking about?
