Guards

Ronald “Flip” Murray (Bobcats)- Murray made his season debut scoring 15 points and pulling down six rebounds last Friday. With the Bobcats struggling on offense Murray should receive consistent playing time and is a good source for threes.

Jose Juan Barea (Mavs)- Barea recorded a season high 12 assists against the Raptors last Saturday. He is averaging nine points in the season and has played in at least 23 minutes in four of the team’s six games.

Will Bynum (Pistons)- Bynum continues his strong play off the bench as he filled the stat sheet with 8 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and two steals on Sunday. He has played at least 28 minutes over his last four games because of an injury to Richard Hamilton.

Honorable mention: Thabo Sefolosha (Thunder)

Forwards

Josh Boone (Nets)- Boone started his first game of the  season last Saturday and played well with 8 points and 12 rebounds. He will continue to receive minutes in the rotation with Yi sidelined due to knee injury.

Louis Amundson (Suns)- If you are looking for some cheap rebounds and blocks then put this big on the watch list. Before yesterday’s game he was averaging 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocked shots in just 18 minutes per game. So far this season he has two games of at least 8 rebounds and 3 blocked shots.

Chase Budinger (Rockets)- The rookie is averaging 10.6 points in five games and has made eight three-pointers. He has played at least 21 minutes over  his past two games and is shooting 52% from the field in the season.

Honorable mention: Taj Gibson (Bulls)

Centers

Marcin Gortat (Magic)- Whenever the Magic blow someone out then expect Gortat to see at least 20 minutes of action. He has at least five rebounds in four games and is averaging near a block per game.

Ben Wallace (Pistons)- Wallace is playing like his old self with at least 9 rebounds in six games to start the season. He pulled down a season high 16 yesterday vs. the 76ers. He also provides steals and blocks but the ft% does not help.

DJ Mbenga (Lakers)-Mbenga has been a serviceable starter with Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum out. Over his past two games he is averaging 12.5 rebounds and 4 blocked shots in 29 minutes per game.

Honorable mention: Zaza Pachulia (Hawks)
