Good morning Bloggers,
Welcome back to Zeeks Fantasy Basketball Updates. Another week in the books but my team fell short in the win column making my team record 8-5 and tying me for second in my league, how did yours do? Struggling? leave a comment below and lets see if I can make things easier with what I've learned thus far this season.
Last week the All Star teams reserves were announced, including a few first time all stars and a few angry players that believe they got snubbed, believing they should have been on the roster. Leading the pack of Snubs is Damian Lillard, in my opinion a definite all star caliber player, he was one last season. But when you think about all of the guards in the western conference in the NBA, the only way to fit all of them on one roster is to expand it; which Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner is contemplating for next season. But anyways if you have Damian Lillard on your roster, who was already a top-10 value fantasy player, you may be in for some surprises as Lillard is made it clear that he is not pleased with his snub and is going to take out his anger on the competition. So far Lillards revenge tour has not been what most expected. In the first game of the tour he failed to prove himself only scoring 13 points going 6-20 from the field, but he did have 6 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and one block resulting in a team loss. In the following game he went for 19 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, three steals and one block, filling out the stat sheet, but this is a bad game to Damians standard, shooting 6-19 from the field. In his most recent game he seemed to be getting back into his regular 'Dame' form, going for 25 points, four rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, with 10-17 shooting from the field. He also had a ridiculously nasty dunk on one of the best shot blockers in the NBA, Rudy Gobert; video above ^^^^^^^^^^.
Honourable Mentions:
The Atlanta Hawks have gone 17-0 in the month of January beating everyone, from playoff contenders to lottery pick tankers, taking no mercy on the NBA before suffering their first loss of the new year to the New Orleans Pelicans; where the No.1 overall ranked fantasy player, Anthony Davis exploded for 29 points on 12-23 shooting with 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks. Getting help from Eric Gordon as well with 20 points, seven assists, three rebounds, one block and four three pointers. Tyreke Evans had his share of contribution as well filling in for Jrue Holiday at the point guard spot with a stat line of 15 points, five rebounds, 12 assists and two steals, hitting one three pointer. Davis is already owned in 100% but guys like Tyreke and Eric are definite pick up guys if available in your league. Shout out to the Atlanta Hawks for their Amazing Run ans shout out to the New Orleans Pelicans for ending it.

Injury Report:
Dwight Howard is the latest star to suffer injury and have to miss time, hurting his teams playoff chances and hurting his fantasy owners who were relying on him to be a consistent must start. Rajon Rondo is going to miss some time with a possible concussion, guys looking to replace him and a possible pick up would be Devin Harris who is now dealing with day-to-day injury reports of his own but is more likely to play than Rondo. Kevin Durant is still missing time with his sprained right big toe. Ricky Rubio made his return to action after severely hurting his ankle on the fifth game of the year.
Thanks for tuning in bloggers, Until Next Week
Zeek.
