Steph Curry has reinjured his right ankle

Steph Curry left the game with 30 seconds remaining in the 3rd, after Aaron Brooks stepped on his injured foot. Stay tuned.

Update: Curry returned to the game to finish with 25 PTS, 12 AST, 2 REB, 1 BLK, and 3 3PTS. Simply stunning...

Tonight's Notable Performers


Atlanta:
  • Josh Smith had 11 PTS, 5 BLK, 4 AST, 6 REB and 1 3PT off 5-10 shooting. 
  • Joe Johnson led his team with 22 PTS, 7 AST, 4 REB, 1 ST, and 1 3PT. We got what we expected from him.
  • Mike Bibby is not dead after all. He had 19 PTS, 4 AST, 4 3PT, and 7-9 FG.
  • Al Horford stunk it up with 2 PTS, 7 REB, 1 AST, and 1 ST. He played only 18 minutes. Is this why the Hawks didn't offer an extension?
Boston:
  •  Rondo had an all-around game with 18 PTS, 9 AST, 3 ST, 4 REB, 8-12 FG, and 1 three pointer?
  • Garnett had 15 REB, 2 ST, 1 BLK, 1 AST, 9 PTS.
  • Big Baby Davis saw 29 minutes of action with 14 PTS, 5 REB, 7-11 FG. Over two games he's seen a notable bump in minutes over last season, where he only averaged 17 MPG.
Chicago:
  • Derrick Rose led the team with 28 PTS (20 in the 1st half), 6 AST, 4 REB, 1 BLK, 2 TO, and 0-4 3PTS.
  • Noah proved his worth with 18 PTS, 19 REB, 2 AST, 2 ST, and 2 BLK. 
  • Filling in for an injured Boozer, Taj Gibson had 16 PTS, 11 REB, 2 AST, 2 ST.

Cleveland:
  • JJ Hickson started over Antawn Jamison with 21 PTS, 8-11 FG, 6 REB, 1 BLK.
  • Boobie Gibson had 16 PTS and 6 AST off the bench and played 27 minutes. 
Dallas:
  • Dirk led scores with 28 PTS, 13 REB, 1 BLK, with zero 3s. 
  • Caron Butler only had 13 PTS but had a team high 16 shot attempts. He'll get his shots, as this is his contract year and he's got something to prove. 
  • Jason Terry had 22 PTS, 6 REB, 4 ST, and 2 ST.
  • Chandler started surprisingly and earned 8 PTS, 8 REB, 1 ST, 2 BLK in 23 minutes. Not too bad, but his time-share situation with Haywood leaves little upside.
Denver:
  • Carmelo led the team with 23 PTS, 7 REB, 3 AST, 1 ST, 0 3PT.
  • Afflalo continued his pre-season streak with 22 PTS, 3 AST, 2 REB, 2 ST, and 3 3PTS.
Golden State:
  • Monta Ellis ties career-record with 46 PTS. He also had 3 REB, 2 AST, 2 ST, 1 TO.
  • Curry had 25 PTS, 12 AST, 2 REB, 3 3PT, and 1 BLK.
  • David Lee had 15 REB to go with 17 PTS, and 6 AST. 
  • Biedrins managed 11 REB and 2 BLK in 27 minutes. 
 Indiana:
  • Roy Hibbert led all scores with 28 PTS, 9 REB, 3 AST, 3 BLK, 8-8 FT. It looks like a true breakout year for the big man.
  • Granger had 26 PTS, 2 ST, 2 AST, 4 REB, 3 ST, and 10-19 shooting.
  • Darren Collison played a decent game with 19 PTS, 7-13 FG, 1 3PT, 7 AST, 2 REB, 3 TO.
Memphis:
  • Rudy had 21 PTS, 10 REB, 1 ST, and 2 AST. 
  • Mike Conley: 23 PTS, 8 AST, 5 REB, 1 3PT. 
  • 'The Black Hole', Zach Randolph played only 15 muntes and had a measley 4 PTS
Miami:
  • Dwayne led the way with 30 PTS, 10-12 FG, 7 REB, 4 AST, 3 ST, 2 BLK, 1 TO.
  • Lebron only attempted 12 shots with 16 PTS, 7 AST, 2 ST, 1 BLK, 6 REB, 9 TO.
  • Bosh was mediocre again with 6-12 FG, 15 PTS, 7 REB, 1 BLK, 1 ST, 1 AST, 1 TO.
  • James Jones had 6 threes and 20 PTS. It looks like he might be the new Mike Miller. 
Milwaukee:
  • Bogut had 15 PTS, 15 REB, and 1 BLK.
  • Brandon Jennings continued his cold shooting with 5-14 FG, 15 PTS, and 10 AST. Look to trade him if you're in a Roto League. His percentages will kill you slowly, day by day. 
Minnesota:
  • Beasley was nothing special with 17 PTS, 7 REB, 1 AST, and 6-16 FG.
  • Kevin Love double-doubled with 11 PTS, 10 REB, and 2-3 3PTS. Double Double is Love's middle name. Now doesn't that name sound good, 'Double Double' Love anyone?
  • Luke Ridnour led the team in scoring? Frodo? 20 PTS, 8-13 FG, 2 3PTS, 6 AST, 5 REB. 
New Jersey:
  • Brook Lopez: 25 PTS, 9 REB, 3 BLK, 1 TO.
  • Devin Harris: 22 PTS, 9 AST, 2 ST, 4 REB, 6-6 FT.
  • Anthony Morrow: 3-6 3PT, 13 PTS
New Orleans:
  • Chris Paul's back. He had 17 PTS, 16 AST, 4 REB, 1 3PT, 1 TO.
  • Belinelli had 18 PTS, 6 REB, 2 AST, 1 3PT.
  • Old reliable David West led all scores with 22 PTS and 7 REB.
New York:
  • Amare led the starters with 19 PTS, 9 TO, 2 BLK, 10 REB, 2 AST, 7-16 FG.
  • Wilson Chandler had 22 PTS, 8 REB, 2 BLK, 2 AST, 10-18 FG over 29 minutes off the bench. Chandler should win the starting spot soon enough.
Oklahoma City:
  • Durant led all scores with 30 PTS, 7 REB, 3 ST, 3 AST, 1 3PT, and 11-13 FT.
  • Westbrook was KD's sidekick with 28 PTS, 10 REB, 6 AST, 2 ST, 1 BLK, 3 TO, 12-13 FT.
  • Jeff Green had a quiet 21 PTS, 4 REB, 1 ST, 1 BLK, and 2 3PT.
 Philadelphia:
  • Evan Turner had 16 PTS, 7-10 FG, 7 REB, 4 AST, 1 BLK all from the bench (31 minutes).
Sacramento:
  • Francisco Garcia played 34 minutes with 22 PTS, 4 AST, 3ST, 1 BLK, 3 REB, and 2 3PTS. He's always been a multi-category freak, but injury-prone. Be wary.
  • Carl Landry battled to earn 22 PTS, 11 REB, 3 AST, 1 ST, 1 TO. 
  • Beno was solid with 18 PTS, 6 AST, 3 ST, 2 REB and 39 minutes.
  •  
San Antonio:
  • Duncan had 23 PTS, 4 BLK, 3 AST, 3 ST, 12 REB, on 10-12 FG. The old man still has some fundamentals left in him. Be warned that he will get days off, but when he plays, man does he play. 
  • Tony Parker started his contract year off with 20 PTS, 9 AST, 3 ST, 3 REB, 50% FG. 
  • Ginobili started and had 22 PTS, 4 AST, 2 ST, 1 BLK, 3 REB, and 5 3PTS.
Toronto:
  • Reggie Evans dominated the boards tonight with 16 REB, 1 AST, 2 ST, 1 BLK, and 0 TO. Sleeper Alert!
  • Bargnani only had 22 PTS off 8-21 FG shooting, 6 REB, and 2 BLK. We expect his shooting percentages to drop now that he's the man in Canada.
  •  Barbosa shot 6-16 FG with 13 PTS. Beware of his lingering right wrist injury. He plans on seeking surgery after the season ends. Didn't the season just start?
  • Jarrett Jack played 31 minutes over Calderon's 18, and scored 16 PTS with 6 AST, 3 ST, 4 REB.
Utah:
  • Al Jefferson had a dominating 6 PTS, 7 REB, and 3 BLK. 





Reggie Evans dominating the boards early, PF Raptors

Evans already has 12 REB, 1 AST, and 2ST with 6 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter. Jump on him if you're in need of boards. This year, we envision him averaging double figure rebounding with little else.

Anthony Randolph to miss two weeks, PF

The Knicks announced that Anthony Randolph will miss approximately two weeks due to a sprained left ankle. Bench him until further notice. Ronny Turiaf may get some extra minutes due to Randolph's injury.

Brandon Roy efficient tonight vs Phoenix, PG

Roy had an all-around game tonight, kicking in 24 PTS, 4 3PT, 6 AST, 3 ST, and 3 REB. Those who drafted him in the 3rd and 4th rounds must be smiling now. This looks like a year of redemption for Roy and is a nightly must-start.

Nash scores 26 in first game, PG

Steve Nash led his team in scoring with 26 in tonight's game vs Portland. He also had nine turnovers and a mere six assists. It looks like he'll be forced to take on the bulk of the scoring load without Amare in the mix. Expect his assist numbers to decrease this season.

Boston's Ray Allen, lights out against the Heat, SG

Ray Allen torched the Heat with 20 PTS. 5 3's, and 7/13 shooting.

Rondo logged 17 AST, 2 ST, 5 REB.

After getting steam-rolled by Lebron in a clear charge, Paul Pierce briefly left the game with back spasms. He returned shortly to end the night with 19 PTS, 3 3's, 9 REB, 3 AST, and 1 ST.
