Lester Hudson played just 19 minutes for the second straight game on Saturday, finishing with 10 points, four rebounds, one assist and a 3-pointer. He also missed three of his six free throws, and has been quiet in two straight games. Donald Sloan is suddenly getting Hudson's minutes, but it's possbile he bounces back on Sunday against the Magic. But if and when Kyrie Irving returns next week, both Hudson and Sloan are going to take a hit.

Lester Hudson played just 19 minutes off the bench on Friday, scoring seven points on 2-of-6 shooting (including a three) with three rebounds, one assist, two steals, and five turnovers. Hudson has played pretty loose during his hot streak and it finally caught up to him tonight. We don't want to write him off based on one bad game, but success can be a fleeting thing for players whose pedigree is less-than-stellar. Weigh your options carefully.

Lester Hudson scored 19 points and hit some big shots in Wednesday's overtime loss to the Pacers, but he did some fantasy damage along the way. He was just 1-of-9 from downtown and 8-of-20 overall, and also committed six turnovers on the night. He added six rebounds and just two assists, despite playing heavy miuntes again (34). He's now scored between 19 and 26 points in four straight games, and despite tonight's shortcomings, should still be owned in almost all leagues until further notice.

Lester Hudson took over Tuesday's game in the fourth quarter and finished with 25 points, eight rebounds, six assists, a steal, a block and two 3-pointers in a win over the Bobcats. Hudson has been a beast over the last three games and could end up winning his owners a championship with four more games this week. He's averaging 24.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, five assists and two steals over his last three games, and he's hit eight 3-pointers during that stretch as well. It's anyone's guess whether or not he keeps it going, but if he's still available in your league, it's time to pick him up.

Cavs signed G Lester Hudson to a second 10-day contract. Hudson has averaged a stunning 14.8 points, 4.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals over the last five games. He'll continue to come off the bench, but he's earned significant minutes the rest of the way. Hudson is outplaying Manny Harris and Anthony Parker (sternum, day-to-day) right now.

Coach Byron Scott does not plan on promoting Lester Hudson into the starting lineup. Manny Harris is starting at shooting guard while Anthony Parker (sternum) rehabs. Still, Hudson has averaged 27.0 minutes over the last five games as a reserve because he's produced. During that span, Hudson has racked up 14.8 points, 4.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals. "I love what he's giving us off the bench right now," Scott said. "It doesn't matter that much about starting. It's about finishing."

The Cavaliers plan to sign G Lester Hudson either to another 10-day contract, or for the rest of the season. The kid blew up for 26 points and six 3-pointers on Sunday after going for 23 points on Friday. He's unproven and could fail miserably next week, but with five games, he looks worth a roll of the dice if you have room for him.

Lester Hudson, playing on the final day of his 10-day contract, hit 9-of-22 shots and six 3-pointers on his way to a career-high 26 points to go along with four rebounds, three assists and two steals in an overtime loss to the Nets on Sunday. He hit a huge three to send the game into overtime and you have to think he'll get another 10-day contract later tonight. With five games next week and his 23 points on Friday night, Hudson suddenly looks like a very sneaky fantasy option next week. Just don't bench a stud to get the extra game out of this unproven kid. But if you're struggling to find another starter in a deep league, go get him.

No decision has been made on whether to sign guard Lester Hudson to a second 10-day contract. He's been playing well and had a career-high 23 points on Friday. The Cavs will have a decision to make soon, as his current contract is expires on Sunday night. Our guess is that that will sign him to a second 10-day deal, but we're also surprised it hasn't happened yet.
