Guards

Rafer Alston (Nets): Harris is expected to miss a week with a groin injury. Alston started at point guard and had 20 points, eight assists, three 3 pointers and one steal in 31 minutes on Saturday. Even though he will be a starter temporarily he is a solid short-term point guard to own.

Juan Jose Barea (Mavs): Barera is averaging 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and shooting 93% from the foul line in three games. In his last two games he has played at least 23 minutes and will continue to get time with Josh Howard sidelined.

Larry Hughes (Knicks): Hughes did not play in the first two games but received extended minutes in the home opener with an injury to Nate Robinson. Robinson could miss up to two weeks with an ankle injury which bodes well for Hughes who provided a solid stat line of 18 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals in 39 minutes. The numbers are a bit inflated because the game went into double OT but any player in the Knicks rotation holds value.

Honorable mention: Delonte West (Cavs)

Fowards

Matt Barnes (Magic): Barnes posted a solid line starting at small forward today with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 6 steals and 4 assists.With Vince Carter (ankley injury), Mickael Pietrus (flu) and Rashard Lewis (supsension)  all missing time, Barnes should receive extended minutes.

Rasual Butler (Clippers): Butler has played at least 26 minutes in three of his four games so far this season. Last Friday he scored a season high 19 points in 32 minutes.

Udonis Haslem (Heat): Haslem has at least 10 rebounds in two of his three games. While he does not block that many shots he posts solid %’s in about 30 minutes per game.

Honorable mention: Yi Jianlian (Nets)

Centers

Solomon Jones (Pacers)-  Jones is averaging 7 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocked shots and shooting 55% from the field in two games. He is a good source for blocks and will play solid minutes whenever starting center Roy Hibbert gets in foul trouble.

David Anderson (Rockets): The 7-footer had his best game of the season yesterday with 11 points and 5 rebounds in 19 minutes. He also hit his first three-pointer of his career and the rookie should be worked more in the rotation with more game experience.

Channing Frye (Suns): A popular sleeper going into the season because of his strong preseason did not disappoint in his first game. He scored 22 points knocking down six three-pointers and pulling down 8 rebounds with three steals. Frye  scored a season high 25 points (six three-pointers) and pulled down five rebounds today.

Honorable mention: Hasheem Thabeet (Grizzles)
