NBA Fantasy All-Stars Change Every Week On DISH Network!
NBA Fantasy All-Stars
If you love the NBA, then the odds are that you rarely miss a game on the NBA TV schedule on DISH Network. But just as with the NFL and MLB, fantasy basketball makes the game you love even better! That’s why we’re pleased to present the NBA Fantasy All-Stars feature, which recognizes the top fantasy basketball performer each week at all five positions on the court. Fantasy basketball gets you to pay just a little more attention to games you normally would follow casually. Enjoy all these players as they trek through the NBA TV schedule on DISH Network!
Point Guard
Deron Williams, Utah Jazz
Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams didn’t put up more than 28 points in his last five games on the NBA TV schedule, but he has been more than visible in nearly every facet of his game. Williams’ shooting percentage over that stretch was a modest 44%, but the good news is that he shot 47% from three point range and 88% from the free throw line. In the Jazz’s last five games, Williams has averaged 22.2 points, 10.6 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 steals, all of which are ideal numbers for an elite point guard. Watch Deron Williams continue to dominate opposing defenses in a variety of ways on the NBA TV schedule on Fox Sports Utah from DISH Network.
Shooting Guard
Eric Gordon, Los Angeles Clippers
There is a Los Angeles Clippers player that has gone off on teams recently, and his name isn’t Blake Griffin for once. Shooting guard Eric Gordon is scorching on offense right now, and as a result the Clippers are looking more and more dangerous. In their last five games, Gordon has averaged 26.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals. He is shooting 55.8% from the floor, 41.9% from beyond the arc, and 82.1% from the charity stripe. Gordon has always been known as a pure scorer, and with the threat of a Blake Griffin dunk always looming, he’s taken his game to the next level. Watch the Eric Gordon-Blake Griffin led Clippers become relevant on the NBA TV schedule on Fox Sports West from DISH Network.
Small Forward
LeBron James, Miami Heat
Although Miami Heat small forward LeBron James has recently been hampered with an ankle injury, he is putting up MVP caliber numbers on the NBA TV schedule. James has been a fantasy stat machine in his last five games (not including the Heat’s last two), averaging 32 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.8 steals. James is shooting extremely well everywhere but the free throw line (76.7%), as he has hit 52.8% of his overall shots and 47.4% of his three point attempts. James is always going to be a no-brainer starter on your fantasy team, but all the concern about his statistics suffering are tempered for the moment. Watch James and his band of “Heatles” on the NBA TV schedule on Sun Sports from DISH Network.
Power Forward
Blake Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers
Who thought that two players from the “other” Los Angeles team would be the best at their positions over a week’s span of the NBA TV schedule? Joining shooting guard Eric Gordon on this list is power forward Blake Griffin, who has a more polished and aggressive game than his status as a rookie would indicate. Griffin is averaging 28 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and .6 blocks in the Clippers’ last five games, including a 47 point, 14 rebound dominating performance against the Indiana Pacers. Like Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Kevin Love, Griffin has registered a double-double since November. Watch Blake Griffin throw down thunderous dunks on the NBA TV schedule on Fox Sports West from DISH Network.
Center
Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford’s stat line over the team’s past five NBA TV schedule games has been very Bill Russell-esque. Horford has averaged 17.8 points, 10 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.8 blocks on 59.4% shooting from the field and 87.5% from the line. Horford’s best game was a 23 point, 9 rebound, 6 assist, 7 block performance in a win over the Sacramento Kings. The Hawks have ridden Horford’s all-around game to a 6-1 record in January of the 2011 NBA TV schedule, and he continues to show why opponents have to fear his shooting range and physicality. Watch Horford contribute all over the floor on the NBA TV schedule on SportSouth from DISH Network.
The NBA TV schedule is still as young as John Wall, so there’s plenty of time for the slumping players in your lineup to heat up and the scorching ones to regress. Call Sterling Satellite at 1-800-299-5610 to learn how watching all your favorite NBA players can be easier with DISH Network.
