    He's been hurt, to be fair. He came back more quickly than many expected from a back injury.

    He's out tonight because of a foot injury, too, although I'm not sure when that happened.

    If/when he's healthy we will see what he can do.

    He has to play a new role with Amare gone. His offensive numbers are down, but his rebounds, assists, steals, blocks are all up, and his turnovers are down.

    Breakout Player:
    Darko - I knew he sucked but not as bad as he has. Pretty much shooting for worst player in the league and running away from the competion.

    Slumping Player:
    Baron Davis - There was a time when people thought he was good. That time is long, long past.

    Breakout players- Luis Scola, Chris Paul (on his "Remember Me?" Tour), and Paul Millsap (who may keep Aldridge off the All Star team). Also- Wall and Griffin are breakout rookies. And Nic and Dante are breakout players on our team.

    Slumping players- Easy. BROOK LOPEZ (6 rebounds per game and 38% shooting for a 7 footer? I'd rather have an injured Oden). Also- John Salmons. And Baron Davis' career is over for all intents and purposes.

    Two players that stick out for me that have not been mentioned are Roy Hibbert and Elton Brand.

    Hibbert is getting 3 blocks, 15 points, 9 boards and almost 4 assists. To put that into perspective, that is twice the dimes Durant gets and just slightly below Kobe.

    Brand has really rebounded and is getting close to his old numbers. His steals and blocks though are considerably higher at 2.1 and 1.6.

    The Ugly

    Rashard Lewis is looking pretty awful in Orlando. Below 38% from the field, 6.1 boards, and under 12 points a game. Hopefully he is hurt.

    Shane Battier and Josh Childress are both averaging 5 ppg.
