Worth the Investment

Eric Bledsoe (PHO, SG) - $8,400

Bledsoe should be returning to action on Tuesday after missing a game on Sunday to attend the birth of his son. While Bledsoe has been on the court, he has been a fantasy force, contributing plentifully in every category and even chipping a few blocks. He has averaged 19.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.2 steals per game in his last ten games.

Despite having to share court time with two other solid point guards, Bledsoe has emerged as the leader of the backcourt through his shooting efficiency as well as his ability to rebound the ball at a great rate. His shooting efficiency thrives off of his drives into the lane, and with Houston missing Dwight Howard for the time being, Bledsoe should have himself a fine game in the lane on Tuesday.

Trevor Ariza (HOU, SF) - $5,500

It is hard to tell if Ariza is undervalued or overvalued. His defensive ability makes him a great option to pick up steals, but his streaky offense tends to overshadow that and make him the target of contract year performance discussions. The important thing to note is to note the arrival of his hot streaks, and that’s something Houston’s layup-or-three offense really provides for Ariza.

Since Howard has gone down with his injury, Houston has provided plenty of more shot attempts for Ariza, Ariza has attempted double digit shot attempts in all but one of his games since Howard has been out. Ariza has been hot of late, averaging 17.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game. With Houston primed to get into a high possession game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, Ariza should see plenty of shots and rebounding opportunities.

Al Jefferson (CHA, C) - $8,300

Big Al is back, and it is certainly nice to see him kicking into gear in the middle of the season. His injury seemingly behind him, Jefferson looked really great against Roy Hibbert and the Pacers on Sunday, providing 30 points, 13 rebounds and one block. Jefferson should have no problem having another big game on Tuesday against Detroit.

Despite the size of Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond, the Pistons fail to keep opposing big men in check. The Pistons had just allowed Nikola Pekovic to bruise his way to 29 points on Sunday. Jefferson should see plenty of post-up opportunities, given that Kemba Walker will remain on the shelf for the time being. Charlotte needs scoring to come from somewhere, and Jefferson should be a great pick for Tuesday.

Top Sleeper

Jordan Clarkson (LAL, PG) - $4,900

We have to at least respect Coach Byron Scott’s bold and unapologetic way of tanking. The Lakers want that high pick and will need to continue to play poorly (players and coaching) to make sure they can have the pick. The Lakers bench right now could probably sweep their starting five in a seven game series, but that’s enough speculation. At least all these fluctuations bring some fantasy value to some unknowns, such as Clarkson.

Clarkson has really benefited from the Lakers’ losing efforts, putting up some popcorn stats and at least making the team look somewhat offensively capable at times. In his last six games, Clarkson has averaged 15.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game. With a matchup against the struggling Nuggets on Tuesday, Clarkson could produce a surprising fantasy line for those who roster him.
