Sunday (4/8/12)

HEADLINES

*New Tradition to close out the season.  Saturday and Sunday will be fantasy questions of the days, one question for each team.

• Will Derrick Rose finally play, if so what kind of performance?
• How about J.R. Smith, is he going to break out?
• Donald Sloan or Lester Hudson?
• Will Anthony Morrow prove he is a fantasy option?
• Rodney Stuckey vs. Ben Gordon vs. Brandon Knight?
• Will Chris Bosh go 20-10 or 12-3?
• Which 76er will be the player of the day?
• Can Brandon Bass put up good numbers with Ray Allen back?
• Will Andrea Bargnani continue to shoot the ball well?
• Can Serge Ibaka play 30+ Minutes?
• Will Al Jefferson continue to dominate against the Spurs?
• Which Spur will get the DNP?
• Goran Dragic or Kyle Lowry.  Big game either way, Dragic needs to be elite.
• Will Marcus Thornton return, and will the Kings get something going?

SLEEPER OF THE DAY: J.R. Smith
