Steve Blake started at point guard for the Lakers Tuesday and scored just five points on 1-of-4 shooting (a 3-pointer), but also had 10 assists in 27 minutes as L.A. throttled the defenseless Hornets. We have been touting Blake as a hot pickup and he came through tonight. Jordan Farmar had a nice line off the bench, and both players are worth using over the next two weeks while Steve Nash tries to get his back into playing shape.
