Andray Blatche should get a big boost in playing time with Brook Lopez (fractured foot) possibly out for the rest of the season. Blatche has come off the Nets' bench in some games which Lopez missed this season, but even in that role he's thriving and there are no guarantees that he'll continue in a reserve capacity. In the nine games Lopez has sat out this season, Blatche is averaging 17.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. Go get him if he's still available on your waiver wire.

Andray Blatche scored 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting with nine boards, three assists and one turnover in 28 minutes against the Clippers on Thursday. Brook Lopez suffered a left ankle injury and there's a very good chance he will miss Friday's game and beyond. Lopez missed seven games with a left ankle sprain last month, meaning the Nets probably will want to proceed with caution. Blatche basically becomes a "run, don't walk" add based on his averages of 16.8 points, 6.3 boards, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks as the starting center.

Andray Blatche scored only two points in Thursday's blowout loss, but he bounced back on Saturday with 11 points, eight rebounds and one steal in under 20 minutes of action. Blatche's value has been spoiled by Brook Lopez's return, and he's best left on the waiver wire unless Kevin Garnett or Lopez are out of the lineup. KG will likely pick up some precautionary DNPs and could sit out during the Nets' upcoming back-to-back set on Dec. 12/13, so opportunistic owners should keep an eye on Brooklyn's injury report.

Andray Blatche had 15 points and six rebounds on 5-of-12 shooting in 24 minutes in another loss on Tuesday. Blatche has arguably been the Nets best player over the past few weeks, but will take a backseat to Brook Lopez and Kevin Garnett whenever they're available to play, like they were tonight. But as long as he's getting 25 minutes a night, he's at least worth a close look in most leagues, and becomes nearly a must-start play whenever Garnett is in street clothes.

Andray Blatche scored 21 points against the Grizzlies on Saturday to go with eight boards, one assist, one steal, one block and three 3-pointers in 22 minutes. He entered tonight just 1-of-7 from downtown on the year, but he made all three attempts tonight. Blatche has been outplaying Kevin Garnett and he might have earned a role of about 24 minutes per night with his play. He's worth owning in standard leagues until he cools off.

Andray Blatche lasted just 10 minutes and missed all six of his field goal attempts in Friday's blowout loss to the Rockets. Blatche was dealing with an ankle injury and we'll keep an eye on that but this was just a nightmare game for the entire organization. Brook Lopez (21 minutes, 16 points) returned tonight, too, so Blatche's short-term value is complicated by that. As long as both Kevin Garnett, Andrei Kirilenko and to a lesser degree Deron Williams remain out, he should probably retained as long as he's healthy.

Andray Blatche suffered a sprained left ankle on Wednesday and did not play in the fourth quarter. He suffered the injury in the first half and played in the third quarter, so this doesn't sound serious. Blatche said he should be ready for Friday's game and isn't concerned. He finished with 14 points, eight boards, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 27 minutes. He'll be worth starting on Friday with Brook Lopez (ankle) possibly out again.

Andray Blatche scored a team-high 24 points in Tuesday's win over the Raptors with five boards, two steals and two blocks in 32 minutes. He shot 10-of-16 from the field and has been the Nets' best player over the past week. Blatche entered tonight with averaged 14.5 points and 6.0 boards as a starter this year, so he's certainly proven he's a terrific understudy while Brook Lopez (ankle) is out. Keep him active.

Andray Blatche scored 10 points with four boards, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during a start on Sunday afternoon. To put it nicely, the Nets aren't good. They had a pathetic 22 points in the paint and allowed 56 in that department during a 109-97 home loss to the Pistons. As for Blatche, he should be able to maintain some value while Brook Lopez is out and he'll look to have a better showing against the Raptors on Tuesday.
