NBA Top Weekly Performances - Shooting Guards, Final Edition

Now that Championship week is drawing to a close, it's time to look at some players who helped you get that victory.  I've got three shooting guards who played amazingly last week, plus an honorable mention at the end because I had a tie-breaker that threw him off the list.  Here are this week's Top Shooting Guards:

Jason Richardson, CHA:  Charlotte is out of playoff contention, but Richardson and teammate Raymond Felton haven't slowed down a bit.  Gerald Wallace is done for the season, so Richardson is again picking up the slack.  Last week he averaged 29 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, one steal, 0.7 blocks and just one turnover in 42.3 minutes.  Richardson is reminding Charlotte fans why the Bobcats wanted to trade for him during the draft.  Fans and management are happy, and your fantasy scoreboard got a little boost this week.

Joe Johnson, ATL:  Atlanta is right on the bubble in that 8th spot of the Eastern Conference.  They control it for now, but Indiana is just two games back with one week left to play in NBA regulation.  Johnson is doing everything he can to make sure that the Hawks end their playoff drought and stay in that 8th spot.  Last week he averaged 28.3 points, six assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and just 1.3 turnovers in 43.7 minutes.  He definitely wants to play in the post-season and your championship team benefited from his hard work.

Allen Iverson, DEN:  Despite having a broken ring finger, Iverson hasn't missed a game all season.  It's a good thing too because with the help of Carmelo Anthony, Denver is tied for 8th in the west with Golden State.  Both guys want Denver to make the post-season this year and they are both doing their part.  Last week Iverson averaged 27 points, 8.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.3 turnovers in 45.5 minutes.  You can bet that he helped you win the championship this week, and you can bet that he will help Denver clinch the 8th spot with the help of Carmelo Anthony, whose stats you can view on the Top Small Forwards section.

Honorable Mention:  Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.  Kobe averaged 27 points, 5.3 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.3 turnovers in 39.8 minutes.  The Lakers clinched the Pacific Division title with their win over New Orleans on Friday, but you can see that doesn't stop Kobe.  It's time to go for home-court advantage throughout the tournament.

That's it for the final edition of Top Shooting Guards.  Make sure you check out the other sections of Screaming Sports to get the latest in all fantasy news!
