Top Guard Free Agent options for Week 15 1. Marcus Thornton, Hornets (PHO, OKC, PHI, @CHA): The best thing that could happen to Thornton's Fantasy appeal was the trade that sent Devin Brown to Chicago. Now, Thornton is starting at shooting guard for the Hornets and the early returns are very promising. He scored 19 points and 18 points in his first two games. His best assets are his three-point shooting and double-digit scoring ability. (Availability: 72 Percent) 2. George Hill, Spurs (@SAC, @POR, @LAC): An injury that is expected to keep Tony Parker sidelined for "several games" and possibly longer will give Hill a chance to expand upon his recent solid play. Even with Parker in the ..."

LeBron James doesn't have his sidekick in point guard Mo Williams, who is out for at least a month with a shoulder injury. James also doesn't have another guard who he's trusts in Delonte West, who is dealing with a broken finger. That leaves the Cavaliers down to point guard No. 3 in Daniel Gibson, but James isn't concerned. He knows Gibson can get the job done. In Monday night's 92-91 victory against the Heat, James relied on Gibson in several crucial moments. With 2:45 left in the fourth quarter, James hit Gibson for a three-pointer that gave the Cavaliers an 88-87 lead and set up James for his usual fourth-quarter heroics. James knows Gibson is going to have to continue to step up with ..."

Smaller To Average-Sized Leagues These players may or may not be available in smaller to average-sized leagues consisting of 10-12 teams with rosters somewhere around 12-15 players. That should cover a majority of the fantasy hoops leagues in existence. If your league is any smaller than that, the waiver options are endless and it's just too difficult to try to figure out whether you should pick up Kevin Garnett, Luol Deng or Jason Richardson. Andrei Kirilenko F Jazz - Kirilenko is finally starting again and had 26 points in his most recent game. He's still nowhere close to the form that gave him Top 20 fantasy value a couple years ago, but he's averaging 13 points over his last five, and ..."

Boston Celtics (LAC, @ORL, @ATL, LAL): The Celtics will have Kevin Garnett back from his knee injury, but after missing 10 games due to the injury there could understandably be some rust to shake off. Monitor him over the weekend, but he should be ready to plug back into lineups. Rasheed Wallace's recent Fantasy boost takes a hit with K.G.'s return. The Celtics don't have great matchups in Week 14 with no games against teams that allow 100 points per game. Kendrick Perkins and Ray Allen are good but not great starts this week. New Jersey Nets (LAC, WAS, PHI): The Nets continue to get good play out of Brook Lopez and Yi Jianlian. Amid trade rumors, Devin Harris is not putting up the ..."
