Fantasy Basketball - Pick-up of the Week (Update from 1/27)

I hope you heeded my advice in my Fantasy Advice Pick-up of the Week on 1/27.  I suggested that you immediately pick-up Ramon Sessions due to the injury to Michael Redd.    In the five games that he played without Redd, he averaged 16.2 points, 2.8 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.0 steals a game.

I also said that his numbers would be even better if he took over the point guard duty from Luke Ridnour.  Well, Ridnour is now out 3-5 weeks with a broken thumb.  In the two games without both Redd and Ridnour, he's averaged 35.0 points, 4.5 boards, 9.5 assists, 2.0 steal a game.  That will make a big difference for the playoff stretch.  What's amazing to me is that in Yahoo! leagues, he's only owned in 68% of leagues.  He should be owned universally in all leagues and all formats!  If you're in one of the 32% of the leagues that he's not owned in, please do yourself a favor.
