Chase Budinger scored 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds, two assists, and three steals in 29 minutes off the bench on Monday against the Blazers. Budinger got some extra run with Chandler Parsons (two points, 0-for-7 FGs) going ice cold, and he is averaging just over 10 points with two threes and a steal per game over his last seven contests. If those numbers work for you give him a look, but things are only going to get harder with Kyle Lowry and (potentially) Kevin Martin returning down the road.

Chase Budinger hit three 3-point shots on Monday, scoring 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting with three rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes. Budinger hasn't been on the fantasy radar with his 8.4 points per game and 36 percent field goal shooting over the past two weeks. If Kevin Martin (shoulder) stays out, though, he could be worth a look if you're trolling for threes and he gets hot.

Chase Budinger scored 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting (including three treys) with four rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes off the bench on Friday. Budinger had to foul to get out of the game after taking a shot to the gut, but we haven't heard anything about a potential absence. He needs a few more nights like this before owners should pay him much attention in standard leagues.

Chase Budinger played 25 minutes on Tuesday, finishing with eight points, four rebounds, two assists and one 3-pointer on 2-of-7 shooting in a comeback win over the Lakers. Budinger had gotten between 30 and 42 minutes in his previous three games, but Courtney Lee got hot and took over, along with Goran Dragic, tonight. Once Kevin Martin comes back from his shoulder injury, Budinger will likely take a hit and be a tough start in fantasy leagues.

Chase Budinger started at SF on Saturday with Chandler Parsons (illness) out of commission -- he scored 19 points with two 3-pointers, six rebounds and two steals in 42 minutes. Budinger made 8-of-14 FGs in one of his best performances of the season. This line may inspire some owners to scoop him off the free agent heap, but he'll revert to an inconsistent bench player as soon as Parsons returns to health.

Chase Budinger had 10 points, nine rebounds, three steals, two 3-pointers and six turnovers on 4-of-9 shooting in 31 minutes on Wednesday. Budinger is quietly averaging 13 points, 5.5 rebounds and two 3-pointers per game over his last five, and saw a boost by the hand injury suffered by starter Courtney Lee tonight.

Chase Budinger scored 10 points off the bench on Tuesday, hitting 4-of-9 shots (including two threes) with four rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes. Budinger has been productive lately, but we're a bit disappointed in general with the effort as Kevin Martin (shoulder) was out. Just keep an eye on him as we enter the trade deadline and if things break well for him you'll hear about it.

Chase Budinger had 16 points, two 3-pointers, four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes off the Rockets bench on Sunday. This makes two consecutive strong games for Budinger, but we're not sold that his role will be stable enough for fantasy value. Kevin Martin only logged 16 minutes tonight, which isn't likely to continue very long, and Budinger has been unusually efficient during his hot streak (12-of-18 from the field). Just keep an eye on him, in case he somehow does carve out a 30-minute role.

Chase Budinger scored 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting on Saturday, including three 3-pointers, despite logging just 18 minutes off the bench. The low playing time means Budinger will remain an unreliable option going forward, so don't read into this aberrant performance.

Chase Budinger took a DNP-CD on Friday and played just eight minutes on Sunday. Coach Kevin McHale blamed size issues and defensive matchups for Budinger's lack of playing time. The swingman hasn't played more than 20 minutes in any of the last five games.
