-Most knew this by now, but something’s up with Manu Ginobli. Either he’s taken his game to an entirely new level or Greg Popovich is more comfortable running the offense through him (I would guess the later). But last night he was simply incredible, scoring 34 points, grabbing 15 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists.

-Shaq said he was a little winded after his first practice with Phoenix yesterday. That’s the scary thing for Shaq owners, he averaged a little under 29 minutes per game with the Heat this year, and it’s doubtful he’ll be able to match that number with in the Suns high-tempo offense.

-Tyson Chandler will return to the Hornets lineup tonight to face his former team, the Bulls. Chandler missed two games because of the flu.

-In news that comes as a surprise to no one, the Knicks are looking to trade Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph. Fantasy owners are okay with anything that means more playing time for David Lee.

-Stephen Jackson is on the verge of joining the fantasy elite. Through four February games, the Warriors’ forward is averaging 26.7 ppg, pushing his season average to 21 per game. Also consider Jackson averages 4.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

-Late round draft pick alert. While the Yankees’ Joba Chamberlain will not start the year in the team’s rotation, he may end up there. The Yankees say they want to limit the pitching prospect to 140 innings in 2008, but even if he can throw 100 innings he’ll be a worthwhile fantasy pickup.
