2012 Fantasy Basketball: Rasual Butler & other daily hoops studs for Friday 2/17
Here’s my picks, starting with the cheapies:
Rasual Butler: Out of nowhere, he played a season-high 27 minutes and had a season-high 10 points on Wednesday. Who knows if that continues if Jerryd Bayless returns, but if Bayless is out, Butler is one of the chepest guys out there and he may have played himself into a bigger role for the Raptors.
Aaron Gray: He’s a starting center with double digit fantasy points in three of his last four games and Charlotte is weak inside, so he could produce.
Alec Burks: Tyrone Corbin has said he wants to see more of the rookie who has seen his minutes increase while scoring double digit fantasy points in two straight games.
And the studs:
Dwight Howard: Facing Milwaukee without a true center, he should dominate inside.
LeBron James: Going back to Cleveland sounds like a big night for LeBron.
Kevin Love: Coming off a huge game and Houston doesn’t have much to stop him inside.
Now for a few mid-level guys:
Chris Kaman: Left for dead when the Hornets were waiting to trade him, he’s averaged 33 fantasy points in his last two games.
Ryan Anderson: Another guy coming off a strong performance who should go big against the Bucks.
