EDGE Analysis

Thornton scored in double-digits for the third consecutive game Wednesday, as he enjoys extended minutes with the absence of Terrence Jones (eye). Congratulations to those who nabbed him from waivers for the short run. Thornton remains a loaner and flier-option with Jones out, but any fantasy value he has will be short-lived. Ride him while you can.
