Coach Mike D'Antoni said "we need [Steve Blake] on the floor, no matter what." The Lakers rotation is a mess thanks to injuries and a rag-tag group of D-League talent. But one constant for D'Antoni is Blake, whether it's at point guard or shooting guard. He's playing 32.2 minutes per game this season and topped out at a season-high 40 in Wednesday's weird win at Cleveland. Blake is an extremely safe start in all formats, especially in Friday night's dream matchup at Philadelphia.
