Week Six on Fantasy NBA was filled with Maverick domination, as Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitzki led all fantasy players, on a cumulative basis. J-Kidd is playing so youthful and showing no signs of age, just how much longer can that last? The biggest news of Week Six was Greg Oden having season-ending surgery on his knee. This isn’t too shocking if you’ve followed the big fella’ throughout his young career, but it’s still nothing you want to hear as an owner. Meanwhile, AI will make his 76ers re-debut this week. There is still no timetable on T-Mac, but you get the feeling that it has to be coming soon.
Looking for a pickup solely for Week Seven? The first teams you should take a look at are Toronto, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Chicago. They all have four games this week, and are against easy opponents.

Players that are Worth a Look
Joel Przybilla (34% Owned) – Greg Oden out for the season (surprise, surprise) = more minutes for Joel Prz… The Blazer may choose to make a couple moves, but until then Przybilla is definitely worth an add in most leagues.
Chris Andersen (57% Owned) – Birdman started the season slowly, but has put together a nice string of games as of late. Over the Nuggets last 10 games, Andersen is averaging 6 rebounds, with 2.4 blocks, while shooting 77% from the field. Take NeNe’s health history in consideration, and you’ll find that Birdman is available in way too many leagues.
C.J. Watson (10% Owned) – When considering Golden State players, nothing is set in stone. However, C.J. has played 30+ minutes each of the past four games, not coincidentally, he has also scored double digits in the last four games. Pick’ em up, and ride him while he’s hot.
