Ben Gordon lit up the Bulls for 15 points off the bench on Monday, adding three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 24 minutes.
BG was seemingly inspired by boos from the home crowd, as he went out an shot 7-of-12 from the field without attempting a single 3-pointer. This gives him double-digit points in four straight games, but unless his playing time increases he's not a reliable option.

Ben Gordon returned from his sore right knee on Friday and had 10 points, one rebound, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes against the Nets.
He returned from a three-game absence and he wasn't really worth owning before that point with his inconsistent minutes. Unless you're in dire straits for 3-pointers, BG should be left on the wire.

Ben Gordon (knee) is warming up in advance of Friday's game against the Nets, and beat writer Rick Bonnell believes that means he's going to play.
Gordon will steal anywhere from 15-25 minutes from the entire rotation, which is likely going to hit the entire backcourt equally for the most part.

Ben Gordon (knee) was participating in five-on-five practice on Thursday.
Gordon has missed the last three games with a sore knee, but it looks like he's on the comeback trail. He's considered day-to-day and could return to a bench role now that Gerald Henderson is in the starting lineup.

Ben Gordon (sore knee) will sit out another game vs. the Nuggets on Saturday.
Gerald Henderson is also sidelined, which thrusts heavy minutes onto guys like Jeff Taylor and Ramon Sessions. Consider BG day-to-day.

Ben Gordon (right knee soreness) will not play against the Warriors on Friday.
Gordon was coming off a nice 15-point outing on Wednesday and this news came out of nowhere. He suffered a right knee contusion on November 19, but this doesn't mean it's an aggravation. He may miss more games and he shouldn't be owned in standard leagues given his inconsistency.

Ben Gordon shot 7-of-12 from the field for 15 points with one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer in 22 minutes off the bench on Wednesday.
Gordon averaged just 12.7 minutes per game in his last three games, so we'll certainly need to see another game or two before we even consider putting him in the discussion for standard leagues.

Ben Gordon hit 5-of-11 shots (including three treys) on Monday, scoring 14 points with one rebound, one assist, and one block in 15 minutes off the bench.
Gordon did well to produce in the minutes he had tonight, but that's the rub with him right now in a crowded backcourt. Owners should simply watch Gordon unless they're desperate for 3-point shooting.

Ben Gordon scored eight points on 3-of-9 shooting (no threes) with one rebound in 15 minutes off the bench on Friday.
Gordon is streaky and now he's also in a log-jam in the backcourt. Yes, he was in a hot streak, but owners can probably move on relatively safely now that he has come back to earth.
