T.J. Ford takes over the starting role in Toronto...

Jose Calderon - Sit him
Start ‘em Sit‘em

Yes 'Em

Josh Boone - It's time to go with the Boone. The former University of Connecticut Huskie is starting to take shape in New Jersey and carve out a role for himself. It was left to be determined how Jason Kidd's departure might affect his stats, but now that he and Devin Harris have had time to play together, Boone is reaping the benefits. His last five games he's good for 12.2 points and 10.0 boards - all while collecting one block per and a shooting about 66-percent.

David Lee - It seemed inevitable that Lee might begin to start on the dismal Knicks team. Now that he is, he's worth the start in your fantasy lineup too. I'd compare him to a Tyler Hansborough - hussler, hard-worker, always in the right place and cleaning up on the glass. You can almost bet he'll get you 10+ boards - over the last two months, Lee is averaging right at the double-digit mark. He's also right at 10 PPG too. If your league gives extra points for double-doubles, than double bonus! This guy is your man.

Chris Kaman - Almost thought he'd never get back in the game! But the K-man is back in the middle. Wednesday was his first game back after missing nine games with back problems. He wasn't exactly the Kaman we've seen all year, scoring 16 points but grabbing just five rebounds, but he's clearly on his way back to elite fantasy status. A healthy Kaman gets 16 points and 13 rebounds and there's little reason to think he can't be back to those numbers shortly.

No 'Em

Larry Hughes - Hughes started out hot for the Bulls, which means it was only a matter of time before he cooled off. That's the kind of player Hughes is: he'll always play to his averages. What once was up is now down. Over his last five games, Hughes is averaging just 9.0 PPG - about 25-percent off his season average. His first five games with the Bulls, Hughes was scoring just under 20 PPG and has slowed considerably since. He's just too inconsistent to leave in your lineup, so if you have a better option - and hopefully you do - go with it.

Jose Calderon - It was never clear if this move would actually happen, but with T.J. Ford officially taking over the starting role in Toronto, Calerdon's value drops like Bear Stearns. He had a mediocre couple of weeks and that was all it took for the Raptors to insert Ford back in their lineup. He has still averaged 10, 3 and 5 over the last five games, but those numbers appear to be inflated on what he should do the rest of the season. It's too bad, because Calerdon was playing so well, but it's just the business.

Morris Peterson - Mo-Pete is not exactly the player he was while at Michigan State - or even while he was on the Raptors for that matter. Peterson has floated in mere obscurity on the Hornets, riding the coattails of his all-star teammates to a fantastic team record. But what has Peterson done to help? His scoring average has sunk nearly each month and in March has officially bottomed out to just 5.2 PPG. The 6-foot-7 forward does not grab many rebounds, often having games where he gets zero. The only spot for him is at the end of your bench.
