News: Hornets C Emeka Okafor, who went three games without scoring in double figures, finally got back on track with 13 points and 12 rebounds Thursday against the Suns. The double-double was his sixth of the season.
Analysis: Okafor recorded double-doubles in four of his first five games, but his numbers have been pretty pathetic since then. He's still worth starting in most Fantasy formats since he's a good source of rebounds and blocks, but he's playing more like a No. 2 Fantasy center than a No. 1

David West, fresh off a 24-point effort on Tuesday, went back to his struggling ways with a 2-of-11 shooting mark and a lackluster six-point, four-rebound, and five-assist line on Thursday. Games like this are certainly going to make buying him low an easier feat, and for his owners all we can say is to have patience. There are a lot of moving parts in N.O. right now as Darren Collison gets brought up to speed, and Peja Stojakovic is being featured more prominently. Once things settle he should improve.

By his recent standards, Peja is on a mini-tear right now, averaging over 20 points in his last three games. With David West struggling recently, and CP3 out, he's becoming a go-to option for the Hornets. The rebounds were also a nice bonus tonight, but he won't get to play the Suns every game.

Darren Collison continued to slowly improve his fantasy production in his third game as Chris Paul's replacement, posting 15 points on 4-of-15 shooting (including a three) with five rebounds, five assists, and one steal on Thursday. Collison fought off a slow 1-of-11 shooting start to hit his final four shots, and was instrumental in the fourth quarter while leading the Hornets to the win. The shooting obviously leaves a lot to be desired, but he distanced himself from guard Bobby Brown tonight, who played just 11 minutes.

Devin Brown's balanced line of 19 points on 8-of-17 shooting (2-of-5 from downtown) with six rebounds and five assists helped lead the Hornets to a 110-103 win over the Suns on Thursday. This game should get the attention of fantasy owners, and if he can keep this pace up he should be added immediately in most formats. The problem is that he has posted a serviceable line like this in just three of his last seven games. He's a borderline pickup in 12-team leagues while Chris Paul is out.

Rookie Marcus Thornton chipped in 19 points off the bench in the Hornets' win on Thursday, hitting 7-of-12 from the field (2-of-5 from 3-point land) to go with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal. Not bad for just 20 minutes of action. While he probably won't score this much every night, he should continue to see this much run as the first backcourt option off the bench. His counterpart, starter Devin Brown, is playing well right now which should keep Thornton on the wire in most leagues.
