Waiver Wire Picks

Anthony Morrow - Golden State Warriors - Guard-Forward

The Skinny: Anthony Morrow returned from a 10-game absence due to an ankle injury and put on a show in the last 2 games that included a season high 33 pts, 11 rebs against the Dallas Mavericks and a 26 pts, 10 rebs against the Clippers . He averaged a whopping 29.5 pts, 10.5 rebs, 5 asts and 4 3's in those games. Plus, he's a Nellie favorite.

Why he's risky: Be careful though as team's top scorers Monta Ellis and Corey Maggette are set to return next week and will definitely cut into Morrow's minutes and touches. He is still worth the gamble due to Magette's and Ellis' history of injuries.



The Supers and The Stinkers

The Supers 
( S-tat stuffing U-ltra P-roductive & E-fficient R-oto S-tuds)

Point-Guard:
 
1. George Hill - San Antonio Spurs

Stat Line: 17 pts ( 5-12 FGs, 7-10 FTs) 6 rebs, 4 asts, 2 stls and 5 TOs.
Why he's on top: Not a terrific line but solid compared to the other PGs.

2. Daniel Gibson - Cleveland Cavaliers.
Stat Line: 11 pts ( 4-7 FGs, 3 3's ) 3 rebs, 5 asts and 1 stl.

Why he's 2nd best: Not a flashy line but was still better than the other PGs that played. Very efficient line and didn't hurt you anywhere.
