Guards-
Jarrett Jack (TOR)-
Calderon has been struggling all season long. I thought he'd figure things out by now, but it doesn't seem like it's happening anytime soon. Jack is providing plenty of energy off the bench, even getting some time alongside Calderon. Jack is a nice flex option this week as he provided points, rebounds and assists from
the guard spot.
Nick Young (WAS)-
When Mike Miller went down, many (including myself) thought Randy Foye would take over his minutes. However, Nick Young is the man filling in by scoring in bunches (20, 22, 10). He'll be inconsistent, but if you need someone to put up stats in the scoring categories add Young to your roster.
Luke Ridnour (MIL)-
Rookie sensation, Brandon Jennings, has seem to hit somewhat of a mini "rookie wall" the past couple of games. His shooting percentages have been sub 40% his past couple of games. Veteran Luke Ridnour, has seized this opportunity by playing really well as of late. The Bucks could play Ridnour more to ease the load off of the rookie's back and shortening his minutes. Ridnour has shown the ability to put up good numbers averaging 18.6 ppg, 6.6 apg, & 4.6 rpg his last 3 games.
Forwards-
Ersan Ilyasova (MIL)-
I mentioned him in previous weeks, and I hope you added him to your roster. His last two games have been spectacular as he's averaged 16.5 ppg & 14 rpg with zero turnovers. Not sure how his value will be like once Andrew Bogut comes back, but he won't be back for at least another week or two. Grab him now and worry about that later.
Kevin Love (MIN)-
So far, so good for Kevin Love. It looks like he's right on target to return December 11th. Yes, that's a week away and you'll lose a couple games this week, but I believe he's worth it in the long run. If an owner dropped him, and is still available, scoop him up and stash him on your bench. Love will be a rebounding machine when he returns with solid percentages.
Kenyon Martin (DEN)-
K-Mart has been rolling of late averaging 10.4 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 1.3 spg, & 1.5 bpg his last nine games. He helps a lot in the energy stats, so don't count on him to score consistently. Don't be surprised if he's in the single digit column in scoring from time to time as you shouldn't rely on him for that.
Centers-
Drew Gooden (DAL)-
With Dampier's return unknown, keep rolling the dice on Drew Gooden. Dallas has a nice 4-game week coming up, so the rebounds will be there. Gooden is also providing blocks with the boards, so that's definitely something to look out for in the waivers. His scoring will be inconsistent, but Dallas doesn't need him to score, so take his scoring sprees as a bonus when he does.
Nazr Mohammed (CHA)-
This is a guy to look at in deep leagues. Chandler is still the starter in Charlotte, but Mohammed has quietly been putting up solid backup numbers. In a deep league, if you can add 13.5 ppg, 6.25 rpg (over his last 4 games), you'll take that any day of the week. If you're desperate or lacking a backup center, take a shot at Mohammed.
Anderson Varejao (CLE)-
Varejao seemed to be lost in the mix in Cleveland ever since he got posterized by Dwayne Wade a couple weeks ago. However, Varejao seemed to have found his mojo back (7 ppg, 58 fg%, 8.4 rpg, 1.2 bpg) his last 5 games. He doesn't do much to hurt your squad other than ft%, but he doesn't go to the line enough to make that much of an impact. Add him to your lineup if you want consistent production.
