NBA Picks/Recap 2/3/12

G1- John Wall WAS- away at the Toronto Raptors, 7ET. Wall was 1-12 shooting in his last game and still manage to get a 1.3 value. Not much but most players would be far under 1 if it happened to them. Look for a big bounce back vs. the Raptors tonight. Expect Wall to score 29+ fantasy points.

G2- Ricky Rubio MIN- away at the New Jersey Nets, 7:30ET. The Nets have the worst defense in the NBA giving up most of those points to guards. Look for Rubio to fill the stat sheet tonight, which is what makes him our #FantasyValueChallenge pick of the night. Expect Rubio to score 30+ fantasy points.

G3- Chris Duhon ORL- home vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, 7ET. Duhon is in for the injured Jameer Nelson, and if you follow OSF you know we like to capitalie on injuries. Expect Duhon to score 10+ fantasy points.

F1- Drew Gooden MIL- away at the Detroit Pistons, 7:30ET. Since Bogut has been out out Gooden is averaging 8 more points and 2 more rebounds/game. Expect more of the same vs. the second worst defense in the league that gives up a majority of its points to forwards. Expect Gooden to score 22+ fantasy points.

F2- Paul Pierce BOS- home vs. the New York Knicks, 8ET.

F3- Ed Davis TOR- home vs. the Washington Wizards, 7ET. Washington is the 6^th worst defense in the league giving up huge points to forwards. Davis has had a double-double his last two games with a high field goal percentage of .667 in both. Expect Davis to score 18+ fantasy points.

C1- Greg Monroe DET- home vs. the Milwaukee Bucks, 7:30ET.

C2- Samuel Dalembert HOU- home vs. the Phoenix Suns, 8ET. Dalembert is the hottest player in fantasy basketball right now. He has averaged a double-double over his last 10 games with 2 blks/game. Expect Dalembert to score 25+ fantasy points.

C3- Tyson Chandler NY- away at the Boston Celtics, 8ET.
