Jackson already wanted out before this happened, and we now wonder if or when he'll play for the Warriors again. They've been saying that Jackson is fine and will be a team player, but it's quickly become clear that's not the case. Now the Warriors will likely be forced into a bad trade just to get rid of him. But as long as Don Nelson is coaching Jackson, he's probably not worth drafting. On a side note, it could be possible that the SJax - Nellie feud could be a first step in Nelson going home to Maui and not coming back. Stay tuned.

This game should probably just be canceled. Dwyane Wade (ribs), Jermaine O'Neal (foot), Chris Quinn (foot) and Quentin Richardson (ankle) are out for Miami, while Daequan Cook (wrist) and Dorell Wright (knee) are questionable. No word on specifically why the Spurs' duo is sitting out today, but it's more than likely simply Gregg Popovich exercising caution. Get used to it.

That explains why he played just nine minutes, and is a major relief to the fantasy community. He's going anywhere from No. 3 to No. 8 in fantasy drafts, and should have a monster season as long as his knee doesn't act up.

"I think I'm ready to start the season at the [small forward]," said Beasley. "It's been 2-3 weeks now, I feel like I have it down pat. The defensive side, that was hardest thing." Beasley seems poised for a breakout season, but the first step will be to hear that he has officially won the starting job - and we think he has.

This is a similar injury to the one that is keeping Dwyane Wade out of action, so props to Z-Bo for fighting through it.

He looked very good in the practice and should finally be ready for game action. However, he's buried behind Zach Randolph on the depth chart and may not get enough touches to offer fantasy value.

He plans on playing on Monday against the Bucks, and we are still expecting surprising things from Battier this season. For the first time in his career he'll be looked at to be a leader on offense, as well as the other end of the floor. He should hit threes, collect steals and blocks and be an all-around solid fantasy player. This is not your grandmother's Battier - or at least, it shouldn't be.
