Fantasy Analysis
Garnett played his first NBA season alongside two top NBA stars -- Paul Pierce and Ray Allen -- and all three players saw a decline in scoring numbers, as expected. Now that they have to share the scoring load, there just isn't enough touches for Garnett to average 20-and-10 as he had in each of his previous nine seasons. Garnett remains an elite Fantasy forward when you consider all that he offers (blocks, steals and field-goal percentage), but Fantasy owners will have to temper expectations for all of the Boston Three Party members.

Garnett had 25 points and eight rebounds on Friday, but it wasn't enough for Boston to get its first road win of the playoffs. The Cavaliers beat the Celtics 74-69 in Cleveland to force a Game 7 on Sunday in Boston. (Updated 05/17/2008)
