Fantasy Basketball Hot Pickups – Week 14

0
Jeremy Lin – Former Golden State Warrior Jeremy Lin is tearing it up for the New York Knicks with eye-popping averages of 18.3 points, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals on .513% shooting over the past week. Lin is available in 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues and is a must-add wherever available.

Marcus Camby – Despite a slow start to the season veteran center Marcus Camby has really picked it up as of late. He is averaging 12.4 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 4 points per game over the past two weeks (seven games) and is a top-15 player in the Yahoo! game over that time. Camby is still available in 34% of Yahoo! leagues.

Jared Dudley – Jared Dudley has cracked the top-25 with his inspired play over the past two weeks. He is averaging an incredible .516% shooting, 14.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.7 threes per game over his past seven contests and is now living up to his pre-season hype. Dudley is still sitting on the wire in 35 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Drew Gooden – Still available in 34 percent of Yahoo! leagues, it is obvious some owners did not get the memo about Andrew Bogut being injured and Gooden starting in his place for another two months. Gooden started really hot but has cooled recently, but has still managed to average 17.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and .8 blocks on .530% shooting over the past two weeks. Gooden should be acquired wherever available.

Trevor Booker – The Washington Wizards sophomore is making a name for himself in fantasy thanks to his 1.9 blocks, 1.3 steals and .667% shooting over the past two weeks. He added 9.8 points and 5.3 rebounds to those totals and now finds himself as a top-30 player over his past seven games. Booker is available in 80 percent of fantasy leagues and should be an appealing option to those in all leagues sizes due to his steals and blocks numbers.

Vince Carter – The 66 percent available Carter has vaulted himself in the top-50 over the past two weeks (41) thanks to back-to-back 21 point games for the Mavericks. He is averaging 13.3 points, 1.7 threes and 1.2 steals on .516 shooting over the past two weeks and should be on fantasy rosters everywhere until his minutes decrease back to under 25 a game.

Nikola Pekovic – Pekovic has been shining for the Timberwolves over the past two weeks with averages of 15.3 points and 9.2 rebounds on .642% shooting. Pekovic seems to have taken over the starting center job in Minnesota and is worth a pickup in all league sizes. Pekovic is available in 64 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
