Potential Adds:

  • Eric Bledsoe, LAC: Don’t add Bledsoe right yet unless you’re in a super-deep league, but keep an eye on him down the stretch.  The Clipps could begin giving the young guys more and more minutes as April approaches, and Bledsoe has proven that he puts up numbers when the minutes are there.  He’s had two 20-point performance’s in LA’s last five games.
  • Marcin Gortat, PHX: Channing Frye is supposed to miss another week or two, and Marcin has been excellent in his absense (double-doubles with 15+ boards in two of his last three games).  Unfortunately, he is already owned in 67 percent of Yahoo! leagues.  People scooped with the quickness when Frye went down. 
  • Tyler Hansbrough, IND: Someone is probably way ahead of you here seeing as he’s put up double figures in 11 of his last 12 games (including four in a row with 20+), but because he plays for the Pacers I suppose he could still be flying under the radar in some 10-12 team leagues.
  • Gerald Henderson, CHA: Henderson the main beneficiary of the Gerald Wallace trade.  He’s played 30+ minutes five games in a row and he’s putting up over 17 PPG as well as 1.8 steals.  He’s only owned in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so check for him.
  • Taj Gibson, CHI: Need a super-temporary PF in a deep league?  Carlos Boozer is doubtful to play tomorrow against the Wizards.  Even if Boozer does return it likely won’t be for long because Washington probably won’t put up much of a fight.
  • Trevor Booker, WAS: Booker is a decent option in a deep league if you need a temporary big.  He’s available in 97 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so it’s almost certain that he’ll be there waiting for you.  He’ll make almost all of his shots because all he does is dunk, and he’ll grab a few boards for you.  Scratch him off the list if and when Andray Blatche and Rashard Lewis ever return.
  • Reggie Evans, TOR: He’s back, and he’s hitting the glass as hard as ever.  Evans played for the first time since November on the 9th and has grabbed double-digit rebounds in all three games that he’s played in.
