Baron Davis had 11 points, seven rebounds, six assists and a 3-pointer on 4-of-7 shooting in 25 minutes of Wednesday's cake walk over the Magic. This was a much better showing than Tuesday's performance, but keep in mind that Jeremy Lin should be back soon. It's also worth noting that there were reports of Baron's hamstring and back bothering him, and he could go down again at any moment. But any time Lin's not going to be in the lineup, Davis is worth a short-term look in nearly all leagues.

Baron Davis started in place of Jeremy Lin (knee) and had 13 points, five rebounds, seven assists, a 3-pointer and nine turnovers on 3-of-12 shooting in Monday's win. Lin hopes to play on Wednesday against the Magic, which could make Baron's run as a starter a short one. And given tonight's damage to field goal percentage and turnovers for his owners, that might not be a bad thing. If Lin is out again on Wednesday, Davis would still be a possible starting option in fantasy, as he can't play much worse than he did tonight.

Baron Davis, Iman Shumpert, Landry Fields, Carmelo Anthony, and Tyson Chandler started Monday's game against the Bucks. Davis is going to be worth watching in most formats, but owners will want to consider his minute-limit and his health before going all in. Jeremy Lin (knee) is also day-to-day and has a good chance of playing on Wednesday. As for Shumpert and the rest of the wings, it's still likely that a different guy will get hot every night - but there is value to be had with Amare Stoudemire's minutes being absorbed into the rotation. We'll see how it all plays out, but be ready to move if one of the wings separates from the pack.

Baron Davis returned to action on Wednesday with five points, an assist and two steals on 2-of-7 shooting. B-Diddy played 12 minutes compared to 36 for Jeremy Lin, so clearly the talk of Davis overtaking Lin was overblown at this time. Davis belongs on waiver wires in standard-sized leagues.

Baron Davis will return from his hamstring injury vs. the 76ers on Wednesday. Baron will be part of the rotation, but he's not a threat to Jeremy Lin's starting gig. He's averaging 4.8 points on 35 percent shooting this season and is unlikely to hold value in average leagues.

Mike Woodson is hoping to have Baron Davis (hamstring) back on Wednesday against the Sixers. "We've just got to wait on him. We're not going to rush him," Woodson said on Tuesday. "He's a big part of what we do." Jeremy Lin will likely see a boatload of minutes with Mike Bibby acting as his primary backup while Davis is sidelined.

Baron Davis (hamstring) won't play on Tuesday against the Raptors. Jeremy Lin will play major minutes with the aging Mike Bibby expected to be his primary backup. There is a possibility that Toney Douglas finally gets into a game as well, but we're not getting excited about it.

Baron Davis (hamstring) is being called day-to-day and is shaping up to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Raptors. Davis has put up decent per-minute numbers in a backup role, but as you can see owners are going to have a hard time relying on the oft-injured point guard. Let's wait to see him get healthy before giving him the green light as a low-end, deep-league play.

Baron Davis (hamstring) is participating in practice drills Monday. Davis remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors. Either way, new coach Mike Woodson has already stated that Jeremy Lin is his starting point guard. Woodson has led the Knicks to three straight wins since taking over last week.

Baron Davis is targeting Tuesday's game for his return from a hamstring injury. Davis' injury is apparently quite minor, but just because he's "targeting" a game does not mean that he'll actually be ready to play, or make it through the game without a setback. There's not enough upside here to gamble on the ailing veteran in average leagues.
