Jamaal Tinsley failed to score on Wednesday against the Warriors, adding two rebounds and four assists in 21 minutes. This wasn't what owners signed up for in deeper leagues once the news came down of Mo Williams being out. Earl Watson played 27 minutes and played a little more in a bad matchup for Tinsley against Stephen Curry. Watson does gain a shred of value in deeper leagues, but Tinsley owners shouldn't abandon him unless it's for a player that won't hang around the waiver wire too long.

Jamaal Tinsley played 27 minutes as Utah's starting PG on Sunday, scoring 11 points with three 3-pointers, three rebounds, four assists and two steals. Earl Watson chipped in two points and eight assists in 21 minutes off the bench, but Tinsley has more fantasy upside. He's a career 39.4 percent shooter (3-of-9 on Sunday), but Mo Williams (thumb) may be facing a long absence and Tinsley is worth considering if you need assists and a trickle of 3s and steals.

Jamaal Tinsley will start against the Magic on Sunday. Mo Williams (thumb) is still a game-time decision, but even if he plays, he will come off the bench. Tinsley averaged 8.0 assists in his four starts this season, so he does hold some value with Williams sidelined.

Jamaal Tinsley started for injured Mo Williams (foot) in the Jazz's 105-103 win over the Nuggets on Monday, scoring a season-high 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting (including three treys) with two rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two blocks in 35 minutes. Tinsley is the clear go-to option over Earl Watson (five points, one assist, 13 minutes) right now whenever Williams is hurt, but that ride could be ending soon with Williams targeting Wednesday's game for his return. We wouldn't hold Tinsley at the expense of a hot free agent, but if the wire is bare feel free to see if you get lucky and squeeze another game from him.

Jamaal Tinsley started in place of Mo Williams (foot sprain) on Saturday and had 14 points, four 3-pointers, seven assists and one steal in 31 minutes of action. Williams is day-to-day, which depletes Tinsley's appeal, but it's nice to see the veteran PG filling a productive role after being ostracized by the Pacers. It's worth noting that according to basketball-reference.com, Tinsley has been a part of Utah's four most productive lineups this season, as measured by cumulative +/- totals.

Jamaal Tinsley filled in quite nicely for Mo Williams (ankle) wiht two points, six rebounds and 12 assists in 31 minutes in the 104-102 win over the Kings. Mo Williams was in a walking boot after the game, so Tinsley could hold some nice short-term value. Deep league owners can give him a look.

Starting in place of injured Mo Williams (adductor), Jamaal Tinsley racked up 14 assists without scoring a single point in 41 minutes. If Mo is forced to miss any more games, owners in need of assists should obviously take a long look at Tinsley. We'd prefer a more well-rounded option such as A.J. Price, but Tinsley is more than capable of dropping double-digit assists if he starts again vs. Toronto on Monday.

Jamaal Tinsley played 22 minutes for the injured Mo Williams (adductor) in Friday's blowout loss to the Nuggets, scoring five points on 2-of-6 shooting with three rebounds, seven assists, and one steal. Tinsley is worth a look if you need a point guard, but keep in mind that we don't know anything about Williams' status at this time. Williams has struggled with this injury for about two years at least, and he will sometimes take maintenance days.

Jamaal Tinsley (wisdom teeth) returned to action on Thursday and played 23 off the bench, going scoreless with six assists, four steals and three turnovers. The veteran PG posted solid per-minute assist totals last season, but his fantasy value is restricted to the absolute deepest leagues. He's behind Mo Williams and Randy Foye on the depth chart, and will also compete with Earl Watson once he returns from knee surgery.

Jamaal Tinsley (tooth) will be a game-time decision on Saturday. Tinsley, who had wisdom teeth removed on Thursday, left Utah's shootaround early. This won't impact his role going forward -- he's locked into a backup-PG timeshare with Earl Watson.
