Ed Davis (PF / TOR) decided to flash his ability on the final night of the NBA season. He did the same thing last year, which led to him being drafted in many leagues this season. Just as quickly as he was drafted this season, he was dropped. Don’t be fooled next season, Jonas Valanciunas (C) and Andrea Bargnani (C) will combine to limit the production of Toronto’s big men next year: 24 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 3 turnovers (29% owned).

DeMarcus Cousins (C / SAC) did his thing on the last night of the regular season. When we release our 2012-13 dynasty rankings D Cuz is going to be right near the top (if not #1). Once he improves his shooting percentages and increases his defensive stats, he’ll be an unstoppable fantasy player: 23 points, 19 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 turnover.

Evan Turner (SG / PHI) returned to mid-season form with most of the regular players sitting. Turner has a chance to be a fantasy star in the future, but it depends on who the 76ers head coach is… the is a problem in the relationship between ET and Coach Doug Collins: 29 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers, and 1 three pointer (71% owned).

Russell Westbrook (PG / OKC) was on fire on Wednesday night as he closed out the regular season with style. A near double-double and 4 blocks is a huge assist for owners as the final day of the regular season has arrived: 30 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks, 2 turnover, and 1 three pointer.
Your Morning Wood – Chelsea (IND)

Marco Belinelli (SG / NOH) proved valuable – if only for a night – when Eric Gordon (SG) was ruled out for the rest of the season. Belinelli is unlikely to repeat his 33 fantasy point performance again, but he could be helpful in Thursday night’s finale: 23 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 turnover, and 2 three pointers (35% owned).

Paul Millsap (PF / UTA) helped some owners come closer to locking up a championship on Tuesday night as the Jazz clinched (at a minimum) the 8th seed for the Western Conference. If the Nuggets lose tonight, Utah will have motivation to play their starters in an attempt to move up to the 7th seed: 26 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 2 turnovers.
