NBA Southeast: Dwyane knows what's happening in Miami By Shawn Clarke, Contributing NBA Editor
(Sports Network) - Haywood Nelson, aka Dwayne Nelson in the 1980s sitcom
What's Happening, got the party started every time with his patented
introduction 'Hey, Hey, Hey'.
Miami Heat superstar guard and NBA leading scorer Dwyane Wade makes the crowd
and his colleagues react the same way on the hardwood with his fresh style
and all-out mentality. Nelson was a shy individual and often spit out random
dumbfounded thoughts, characteristics one would hardly see from Wade unless he
is doing a cell phone ad with buddy Sir Charles Barkley.
Caron Butler will play Wednesday night against the Blazers after concerns about his knee, according to the Washington Post. There were some concerns that Butler might not be able to play against the Blazers a night after he banged knees with Bobby Simmons on Tuesday night.
Our View:Butler's stock has been rising as of late. He is averaging 21.7 points a night to go along with six rebounds and four assists.
Caron Butler had a double-double on Tuesday and his stock could be on the rise again. He contributed 22 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds to the Wizards' third win of the year.
Our View:Butler's fantasy stock took a dive for a bit last week, but his consecutive games with a double-double has him owned in nearly all leagues again. You could still look to pluck him away from a disappointed owner in a trade though.
Antawn Jamison's double-double streak ended at eight on Tuesday as he finished with eight rebounds to go with his 22 points. He also had two steals and one assist.
Our View:Jamison helped lead the Wizards to just their third win of the year on Tuesday by a score of 108-88 over the Nets and continues to be Washington's most consistent scorer while Gilbert Arenas is out.
