NBA Picks/Recap 2/7/12

G1- Russell Westbrook OKC- away at the Golden State Warriors, 10:30ET.

G2- Ricky Rubio MIN- home vs. the Sacramento Kings, 8ET.

G3- Rajon Rando BOS- home vs. the Charlotte Bobcats, 7:30ET.

F1- Kevin Durant OKC- away at the Golden State Warriors, 10:30ET.

F2- Michael Beasley MIN- home vs. the Sacramento Kings, 8ET. Beasley is real hit or miss, but we are going to take our chances tonight. He is playing a bad defense and no Kevin Love, which means more points and rebounds for him. Expect Beasley to score 18+ fantasy points.

F3- Kevin Garnett BOS- home vs. the Charlotte Bobcats, 7:30ET.

C1- Nikola Pekovic MIN- home vs. the Sacramento Kings, 8ET. With Kevin Love serving a two game suspension and the Kings having a horrible defense especially against big men, and with another Minnesota big man injured, expect Pekovic to score 18+ fantasy points.

C2- Marcin Gortat PHO- away at the Milwaukee Bucks, 8ET.

C3- Jermaine O’Neal BOS- home vs. the Charlotte Bobcats, 7:30ET. The Bobcats are the 4^th worst defense in the league and are stricken with the injury bug, they also give up big points to opposing centers. Also, include the blowout factor, O’Neal could see extended minutes, especially with 4 Celtics on the injury report. Expect O’Neal to score 14+ fantasy points.
