Austin Daye picked up his third consecutive DNP-CD on Sunday. Daye had a nice stretch in late January but has since fallen completely out of the picture. It doesn't help his case that his DNPs coincide with the Pistons' unlikely three-game win streak.

Austin Daye played 25 minutes off the bench Tuesday and had another full stat line despite scoring just seven points on 2-of-7 shooting. He added three rebounds, two assists, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer, and deserves a close eye in fantasy leagues now that he's cracked the rotation. But he's still not a must-own player, especially with Ben Gordon due back from a shoulder injury at some point.

Austin Daye scored 10 points on 4-of-14 shooting (no threes) with five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks in 37 minutes off the bench on Monday. Daye soaked up some of the minutes lost by Brandon Knight, who was benched during portions of tonight's game because of poor play. Daye has been making noise ever since Tayshaun Prince went out, and with Prince back he has held some of that value. We highly doubt that Daye will find value out of Knight's bucket all year long, and with the general log-jam of talent we're only looking at Daye as a short-term play while Ben Gordon (shoulder) is out and Knight is struggling.

Austin Daye had 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, a block and a 3-pointer in Saturday's blowout loss to the Sixers. Daye has hit double figures in three straight games, playing at least 27 minutes in each of them. And since Tayshaun Prince was back and Daye still got decent run, he looks to be in the rotation for now. Deep leaguers should think about grabbing him, while Daye should be monitored closely in all leagues while he's hot.

Austin Daye scored 12 points on Friday after scoring a career-high 28 points on Wednesday, hitting 4-of-11 shots from the field (including two threes) with three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 27 minutes off the bench. Daye hit one nice shot late but he's likely to go back to irrelevance once Tayshaun Prince (personal) returns. Take a look at him as a spot-add with the hopes that Prince's absence continues.

Austin Daye got hot in the second quarter of Wednesday's game against the Heat when he scored 18 of his career-high 28 points. He finished with four 3-pointers, six boards and a steal on 10-of-18 shooting and played a season-high 30 minutes with Ben Gordon (shoulder) and Tayshaun Prince (personal) out. Daye has been buried on the bench all season but forced the hand of Lawrence Frank tonight. And while this performance had to have opened Frank's eyes, the fact remains that Prince and Gordon are going to come back and probably keep their jobs. We're guessing this will end up being the highlight of Daye's season, and while he's certainly worth consideration in most leagues, he's simply not a must-own player unless his playing time improves dramatically going forward. He came into the game averaging just 12 minutes and three points per game. Keep an eye on him.

Austin Daye's ankle is still black and blue and has played a role in his decreased playing time. Daye initially injured his ankle in early January and it's still bothering him. He wants to play through the injury to prove he's better than his recent play, but he's really struggling on both ends of the court. He's seen a combined 31 seconds over his last two games and is shooting a pathetic 20.4 percent this season, including 0-of-13 from beyond the arc. There is no reason to have him on your fantasy radar.

Austin Daye is struggling to crack the rotation. "Every day he has an opportunity to work," Lawrence Frank said. "Hey this is survival of the fittest." Daye hasn't made a single 3-pointer this season (0-of-13) and is shooting a meager 20.4 percent from the field. He's not going to help your fantasy team with those types of numbers.

Austin Daye had just three points and one rebound in 12 minutes on Sunday, despite the absence of both Damien Wilkins and Will Bynum. Daye has struggled mightily in his short stints this season, and seems to have lost the faith of coach Lawrence Frank (and possibly lost faith in himself, as well). We can only hope that he'll be turned loose once the Pistons are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

Austin Daye (ankle) will play on Tuesday against the Mavericks. Daye had two points in 12 minutes on Monday and has really struggled to find his rhythm all season long. He's nothing more than waiver wire fodder.
