Somehow Travis Outlaw ended up being the forward who got the most minutes. Lin should be back by Wednesday, and Terrence Jones should be recovered from his flu then as well… Derrick Williams seemed to be on his way to a good fantasy day but then fell off precipitously in the second half of last night’s game. Patrick Beverley continues to be a more useful real-life basketball player than a fantasy player. Other Notable Players: Jeremy Lin sat out with a back injury, so Aaron Brooks had a another one-time nice game. In the meantime, definitely grab Leuer if he’s available and play him until Gasol gets back. With Leuer on board, though, the Grizzlies may decide they already have an in-house option. Still, the Grizzlies have been looking for a stretch four to pair with Gasol, and there have been rumors involving trading Randolph to the Pelicans for Ryan Anderson. Obviously then Leuer, Koufos and Davis all get pushed back in the rotation, stunting their values. The real question now is what happens when Gasol comes back, which should happen at the beginning of January at latest. As with many Yahoo! ranks, this is more a case of not hurting you in any categories than being so spectacular in them, but those peripheral stats add up, and that FG% is on a legit 12.1 FGA. Leuer, meanwhile, is the highest Yahoo! ranked Grizzly over the last seven games, averaging 15.9 pts, 8.1 reb, 1.0 ast, 0.7 stl, 0.7 blk, 0.9 3pm, 54.1% FG, 86.7% FT and just 1.1 TO. However, now both Randolph and Davis are healthy again, but Leuer is still getting minutes at the expense of the offensively-challenged Koufos, who hasn’t played more than 16 min in his last two games.

Injuries to Zach Randolph and Ed Davis, as well as foul trouble for Koufos, allowed Leuer to get more playing time and show his offensive skills. His offensive touch, however, was very rusty.Įnter Jon Leuer, the sweet-shooting big man from Wisconsin. Initially it was Kosta Koufos who took the reins, and he had been great, regularly grabbing double-digit rebounds coupled with some blocks. Here’s a look at his line last night against Minnesota:Īfter Marc Gasol went out with a sprained MCL, a lot of opportunities opened up. Now though, I can no longer ignore his production, and neither should you.

He’s owned in 20% of Yahoo! Leagues and 12.9% of ESPN Leagues, so many fantasy owners have been like me and slow to jump on the bandwagon.
