Andray Blatche kept his momentum going on Monday during a win at Madison Square Garden, scoring 19 points with 12 boards, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer in 27 minutes.
He put up 20 and 14 against the Hawks in London on Thursday and this is the Blatche we were all expecting following the Brook Lopez (foot) injury. It makes sense to pick him up in most leagues for his major upside.

Andray Blatche blew up for 20 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes off the bench on Thursday, as the Nets routed the Hawks in London.
Blatche had been quiet since Brook Lopez's season-ending foot surgery, but this huge line is a reminder of his potential. Paul Pierce appears locked in at PF for the time being, but Blatche's outlook as a reserve is improved by Kevin Garnett's minute-limit and sporadic, precautionary DNPs.

Andray Blatche was a fouling machine in Saturday's loss to the Raptors with five fouls, six points and four boards in nine minutes.
He hasn't looked the same since returning from his personal issues. In those five games, Blatche averaged just 9.2 points, 4.6 boards, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks. It might be a conditioning issue and Blatche could get it turned around soon. He's still worth stashing in most formats despite a one-game week on the horizon.

Andray Blatche played just 13 minutes on Friday, but still managed eight points on 4-of-10 shooting with eight rebounds and one steal.
Blatche had a pretty terrible stretch and never got back on the floor. If this becomes a trend owners may want to look in another direction, but so far he has shown enough promise to remain owned in most formats.

Andray Blatche came off the bench for 17 points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal on 6-of-13 shooting in 25 minutes of Wednesday's win over the Warriors.
Blatche scored just three points in his last game, but looked much better tonight. He's working his way back to form after a four-game personal absence and is worth holding in all leagues. He'll have to compete with Mirza Teletovic (eight points, 10 rebounds, two 3-pointers in 29 minutes) and Andrei Kirilenko (eight points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal in 18 minutes) for his minutes and production, but looks like a safer fantasy option than the other two guys.

Andray Blatche returned from a personal leave on Saturday and hit 4-of-10 shots for 12 points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal in 20 minutes.
He's going to be a big part of what the Nets do with Brook Lopez out for the season and should be owned in all leagues, despite his recent struggles and absence.

Andray Blatche (personal) attended shootaround on Saturday and he will play vs. the Cavaliers.
Blatche missed the past four road games for undisclosed reasons, but they weren't injury-related and he should be ready to roll tonight. While he may come off the bench, at least initially, Blatche should get enough minutes to be worth starting in 12-team fantasy leagues. Make sure he's not floating on your waiver wire.

Andray Blatche (personal) will miss the next four games for the Nets.
That would put Blatche out until Saturday Jan. 4 when the Nets will play the Cavs. Mirza Teletovic will continue to be a big piece in the rotation and should be approaching the 30-minute mark over that span, making him worth a long look in standard leagues. Mason Plumlee and Reggie Evans should also see a sizable increases in minutes. Blatche owners should probably hold him unless they really need him for the upcoming week.

Andray Blatche shot 1-of-11 from the field for seven points with five boards, two assists and one turnover in 26 minutes.
He's been a disappointment in the without Brook Lopez (foot) and shot just 25 percent from the field in his last two games. The Nets have been embarrassing on offense and they might need a player like Blatche in their starting lineup. Regardless, things should be looking up for Blatche very soon, especially with the way he can fill up a stat sheet. Fantasy owners should still consider him a must-own player.

Andray Blatche played 26 minutes off the bench on Monday with 11 points, seven boards, two assists and one steal on 4-of-9 shooting.
Even though he's not starting, Blatche is likely going to be the best Nets big man based on statistics. He can fill it up across the board and is even attempting a career-high 0.7 triples per game this year. Don't get caught up in him coming off the bench and make sure he's owned in even a shallow format.
