The Wolves fell to 1-1 with a loss in Minnesota on Sunday, despite Andrei Kirilenko's 17 points on 6-of-7 FGs and 4-of-5 FTs, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks. AK's multi-cat abilities and flirtation with 5x5 lines have always endeared him to owners. He should continue to post big numbers until Kevin Love returns, while maintaining solid value all season.

Andrei Kirilenko scored 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting with seven rebounds, five assists, and one block in 31 minutes on Friday against the Kings. This is right around where we think he will be on most nights, and owners simply have to cross their fingers and hope he can stay healthy.

Andrei Kirilenko had eight points, 10 rebounds, four assists, six steals and a block in 27 minutes on Friday. He's going to start as long as he's healthy and still has some gas left in the tank. As evidenced by tonight's stellar line, Kirilenko looks like a value pick in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts - especially with Kevin Love out for the first few weeks of the season.

Andre Kirilenko scored just four points and missed both shots from deep, but he did add eight rebounds and three assists Wednesday. As long as you can stomach the constant injury risk, Kirilenko is a fantasy dynamo on most nights. His ability to fill up the stat sheet makes him a tantalizing option in most leagues.

Andrei Kirilenko scored 13 points thanks to 9-of-10 from the line, while adding seven boards, five assists, two steals and one block in 28 minutes. He's back to his old Roto-friendly self. Fantasy owners might be salivating to take a guy that has routinely been among the leaders in defensive stats, but beware of his fairly high injury risk.

Andrei Kirilenko (hamstring) returned to practice on Monday. After sitting out Saturday's game with a sore hamstring, AK-47 is locked, loaded and back in action. It clearly wasn't a major concern, but owners need to be aware that Kirilenko isn't exactly a harbinger for durability at this stage of his career.

Andrei Kirilenko (sore hamstring) will not play in Saturday's game vs. the Bulls. With luck AK's hamstring is truly just "sore" and not strained -- he's a popular sleeper pick, but the spectre of injuries always seems to hover around him. Chase Budinger figures to play a much larger role for as long as Kirilenko is sidelined.

Andrei Kirilenko (rest) was held out of Friday's exhibition against the Pacers. Team trainers advised Rick Adelman to hold him out and there's not a whole lot to see here. We're starting to look at Kirilenko in Rounds 7-8 in both 8- and 9-cat formats.

Andrei Kirilenko's debut was headlined by his three steals and a block while adding three points, six boards and two assists in 27 minutes on Wednesday. AK-47's NBA career averages of 2.0 blocks and 1.4 steals certainly make him someone to watch and possibly target in fantasy leagues. He holds nice value in the later middle rounds of a standard draft.

Andrei Kirilenko said that he's working on his conditioning. I'm working a lot on my physical condition," Kirilenko said. "It's the most important thing in the NBA. My game is very energetic. As long as I'm in good shape, I'm running. That's my game is running." He could be an unbelievable value pick if he plays like he did during the Olympics, especially considering he's one rare player who should average more than a steal and a block per game while producing in other categories as well.
