Veteran guard Luke Ridnour made just 1-of-6 shots vs. Detroit, finishing with five points in 20 minutes.

He added three assists and two steals but his playing time was dampened by his own poor play and the red-hot shooting of J.J. Barea (20 points). If you own Ridnour, single-digit duds are simply part of the equation.

Luke Ridnour hit 6-of-7 shots and two 3-pointers for 15 points, three assists and three steals in another start on Tuesday.

He still appears to be locked and loaded into the starting shooting guard job and likely would have played more minutes tonight had the Wolves not been up more than 20 heading into the fourth quarter. With the Wolves' great schedule, Ridnour is worth a look in many leagues despite his inconsistency.

Luke Ridnour shot 7-of-10 from the field for 19 points during Thursday's 116-94 loss to the Lakers, adding one board, four assists, one steal, three blocks and two 3-pointers.

He turned in a nice February with averages of 13 points, 0.9 triples and 1.0 steals. Ridnour played 32 minutes per game in his last 12 games and he's locked as a key role player for Minnesota. Alexey Shved had a 1-of-8 shooting performance for just five points in 20 minutes and has clearly lost most of his luster.
