James Anderson will get the start again on Saturday night vs. the Knicks. He turned in a nice performance on Friday with 10 points in 32 minutes against the Pistons and it looks to be enough to keep him in the starting lineup. Anderson is worth a look in deeper leagues while Hollis Thompson should be dropped like a hot potato.

James Anderson got his first start at shooting guard since November on Friday, playing 32 minutes with 10 points, eight boards, three assists, one steal and two turnovers. He was putting up some decent numbers before his demotion to the bench, averaging 9.8 points, 3.9 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 triples in 33.5 minutes in his previous starts. The Sixers are likely done with the idea of playing Hollis Thompson after giving him a big chance, so Anderson could stick with the first unit. He's worth a look in deeper leagues.

James Anderson will start at shooting guard for the Sixers vs. the Pistons on Friday. It's his first start since November and the Sixers could give him more of an extended look. Anderson did log 33 minutes of action on Tuesday, but that was due to Tony Wroten sitting out with an illness. He's only worth a look in deeper leagues.

James Anderson hit 6-of-15 shots for 15 points, five rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks, but missed all four of his attempts from downtown in Tuesday's loss. Anderson has been nice for two straight games with Tony Wroten dealing with the flu, while coach Brett Brown has also been using his bench more recently. Anderson's still not a must-own player, but is a nice option as long as Wroten is out.

James Anderson played 22 minutes off the bench against the Wolves on Monday, scoring 14 points with seven boards, two assists, three steals, one block and two 3-pointers on 5-of-6 shooting. It was his best output since his 36-point outburst back on Nov. 13 and he answered the call tonight. Tony Wroten (illness) did not play and he could miss Tuesday's game vs. the Cavs. Anderson's long-term value doesn't look too good based on averages of 8.5 points, 3.5 boards, 0.4 steals and 1.2 triples over his previous 10, so there is little reason to pick him up unless it's for a plug-and-play on Tuesday.

James Anderson came off the bench again on Saturday and had just six points, five rebounds, an assist, a steal and two 3-pointers. We thought he might do a little more with Evan Turner out, but it didn't happen. He's now totaled just 10 points over his last three games and no longer has any fantasy value.

James Anderson scored 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting (including three treys) with three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench on Monday. Anderson has made a small amount of noise with averages of 12.8 points, 0.8 threes, 51.4 percent field goal shooting and 90.9 percent shooting from the line over his last four games. He's still just a 14-16 team asset right now but if anybody goes down ahead of him he could have a small amount of upside in the Sixers' jackpot offense.

James Anderson scored 14 points off the bench in Saturday's blowout loss, hitting 6-of-10 shots with just one rebound and two turnovers to fill out the rest of his box in 16 minutes. Anderson didn't attempt a 3-point shot and though a blowout loss like this is hard to evaluate, the Sixers will play a lot of games like that and Brett Brown isn't necessarily going to worry about rest for a guy like him. His counterpart, Hollis Thompson, played 36 minutes and scored 17 points with a nice line and altogether Anderson is just a deep league play, at best.

James Anderson played 31 minutes off the bench on Wednesday during a loss to the Wolves, scoring 16 points with eight boards, two assists and two 3-pointers on 5-of-8 shooting. Hollis Thompson looked like a rookie tonight and had four fouls in 19 minutes, so Anderson get a little more run than usual. Anderson has been a weak spot for the Sixers on defense, which suggests why it's a unlikely he will get his starting job back. In his five games off the bench before tonight, Anderson averaged 9.4 points and 0.8 triples in 21.0 minutes, so he'll need to string a couple games together before we can sign off on him as a pickup.

James Anderson came off the bench for the second time this season, scoring 19 points with two rebounds and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes. He picked up some points and minutes in the overtime frames, so the decent line is a little misleading. Anderson's defensive lapses have been a bit of an issue and coach Brett Brown will bring him off the bench for the foreseeable future in favor of Hollis Thompson. He could still hit a couple threes here and there, so he has a little value in some deeper leagues.
