"Simply put, Wednesday night was madness. There is a whole lot to get into so I'm not going to waste any time with the foreplay.

Chris Paul (hamstring) finally returned to action after a five-game absence, scoring just four points on 2-of-8 shooting with four rebounds, 12 assists, and a steal in 27 minutes. He emerged unscathed as far as we can tell, and that leaves Mo Williams (16 points) and his owners hoping for some late-round value going forward. Don't drop Williams until he forces you to, as he has been on fire lately.
Andrea Bargnani broke owners' hearts after leaving last night's game due to the same calf injury that cost him six games, and of course he was having a great night before the injury with 25 points, three treys, five rebounds, and four assists. He was "walking gingerly" and couldn't put much weight on his calf, and he'll be out indefinitely and my guess is we're looking at weeks and not days. Look for Amir Johnson (six points, one board, three blocks, 24 minutes) to be pressed into action, and if Johnson is still in Dwane Casey's doghouse Ed Davis and Aaron Gray would be the next guys up from a fantasy perspective. Johnson should be owned in all 12-team, 8- and 9-cat leagues, while the other two should simply be watched. This also helps the cause of James Johnson, who posted a typical two points on 1-of-4 shooting with five boards, one assist, one steal, and six blocks over 39 minutes in the Raptors' double-overtime win over the Jazz."
