Keeper league owners may want to stash Hayward, but in redraft leagues, it’s obviously going to take more than just an injury to Bell for the rookie to be even remotely worthy of Fantasy consideration. Besides, Bell was a game-time decision on Monday, so Hayward’s run as a starter won’t last much longer if at all.

And while the kid seemed at least part of the rotation in the first two weeks of the season, he hadn’t played at all over for over two weeks, so last week Oklahoma City wisely sent him down to the D-League. So far, so good for Aldrich as he’s averaged nine points, six boards and one block in his first two games for the Tulsa 66ers.

The Knicks finally broke out of their shooting woes. After sinking just 29.1 per cent of their shots through the first three games, they canned 40-of-80 field goals attempts Thursday to dispatch of Chicago.

Let’s give the New York Knicks some props for the their effort Friday night in Denver – a very tough place to win. I mean, hell, the Nuggets haven’t dropped a home game since March 9.

Have you seen what’s going on in San Antonio with the perennial contender Spurs? Thursday night the Spurs dropped their third straight game to slip to 4-6 – the first time they’ve had a losing record through 10 games since 1996. But stranger yet, it was Utah that walked into the AT&T Center and emerged victorious, the first win for the Jazz in San Antonio in a decade – snapping a run of 20 straight losses.

He didn’t get a lot of burn Saturday as the Bucks went small against the run-and-gun Warriors, yet he still managed to go a perfect 5-for-5 from the line while scoring nine points with four boards and a block off the bench. Not bad considering how little he played.
