Thaddeus Young stayed hot on Wednesday with 24 points and 15 rebounds on 11-of-20 shooting in a loss to the Heat.

Young is killing it right now, as he's scored between 24 and 26 points in three of his last four games, and has scored 14 or more in eight straight games with five double-doubles over that stretch. If you picked him up just before his return from a hamstring injury that cost him six games, he might help you win your league.

Thaddeus Young found his groove vs. the Magic on Sunday, scoring 26 points on 13-of-17 shooting, with 12 boards, two assists and a season-high five steals.

Young is averaging 2.6 steals per game in March and he's shooting 78.1 percent from the field in his past two contests. His six-game absence in February was a drag for fantasy owners, but he returned ahead of schedule and is more than making up for the inconvenience.

Thaddeus Young shot a blistering 12-of-15 from the field in Friday's loss to the Heat for 25 points with three boards, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes.

He's definitely back and averaged 17.6 points, 6.8 boards and 2.2 steals in his last five games. He's having a career year, so if for some reason he's still floating around on waivers from his hamstring strain, go get him.

Thaddeus Young hit 9-of-20 shots for 19 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and a block in Tuesday's loss.

He's back from his hamstring injury and playing just like he was before he went down. Make sure he's not available in your league.

Thaddeus Young roared back with 14 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks on Saturday, following two consecutive games in single-digits.

This was only Thad's fourth game back from his hamstring pull, and he returned before his original timetable suggested, so it's all gravy for fantasy owners. He's routinely flirting with double-doubles and it seems like he's returned to his season averages -- 14.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.

Thaddeus Young had another off night in a loss at Chicago on Thursday, shooting 4-of-13 from the field and 1-of-4 from the line for nine points with nine boards, one assist and two blocks in 39 minutes.

He got some playing time at center during the second quarter and it looks like he could use some WD-40 to help with his rust issue after missing three weeks from a hamstring injury. Young was a 52 percent shooter from the field before going down, but he's shot just 36.1 percent in his last three games. At least he's getting mintues and he should come around to justify his ownership in all standard leagues.

Following Tuesday's morning shootaround, Thaddeus Young (hamstring) confirmed he has "no pain at all."

In his first game back on Sunday, Young chased around Carmelo Anthony for 36 minutes. It's a great sign that he came out of that one feeling "good." Expect another heavy workload against the Magic on Tuesday night as the reeling Sixers try to snap a five-game losing streak.
