EDGE Analysis

Ellis has come off the bench in every game since returning from a right groin strain in December, but he's starting to reemerge on the fantasy landscape with his minutes and productivity trending up in recent contests. The veteran guard has seen 30-plus minutes in three consecutive games, averaging 14.0 points, 4.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.0 steal in 31.0 minutes. It's unclear if coach Nate McMillan has any plans of eventually returning Ellis to the starting lineup, but so long as the 31-year-old continues to receive healthy workloads, he'll be worth rostering in most mid-sized or deeper leagues.
