Calderon scored 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with seven assists and five rebounds in 31 minutes during Wednesday's win over the 76ers.
Like the whole Knicks team, Calderon has had a mostly miserable season so far, but the veteran point guard is still capable of putting up solid numbers when he has Carmelo Anthony available to receive his passes.

Calderon scored 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Wizards.
The Knicks are in full tank mode, which means trade rumors are swirling around Calderon, but as long as he remains in New York and Carmelo Anthony (knee) is sidelined Calderon should see heavy usage and provide solid contributions is scoring, threes and assists.

Calderon scored nine points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt,) with four rebounds, nine assists and one steal during Saturday's loss to the Kings.
This marks the third consecutive game that Calderon shot below 37 percent from the field. He's the third option behind Carmelo Anthony and Tim Hardaway Jr on offense, but has a chance to regain some lost value if he regains his shooting touch. Calderon is a back-end point guard option and figures to remain that way this season.

Calderon scored 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT) and added three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes of action on Thursday against the Bulls.
On the year, Calderon is averaging 8.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.6 3PM - he hasn't been very good. This is the lowest per game assist total Calderon has had in his career. If the Knicks ever get something going, Calderon should bounce back and produce respectable assist numbers. He is someone to watch as many owners have given up on him this season. The good news is that he is getting to play. He has averaged 35 minutes per game over his last three.

Calderon continued to struggle Sunday against the Blazers, contributing just four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt) to go with one rebound, three assists, and one steal in 24 minutes of action.
Calderon has been on a massive slump, averaging just 5.3 points (39 percent FG), 0.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 0.7 steals over the last three games. He's certainly not producing standard-league numbers, but owners may want to be patient with the guard, as he's still at the helm of the Knicks' offense.

Calderon posted a well-rounded line Sunday against the Heat with nine points, 10 rebounds, and six assists in 34 minutes of action.
Calderon's owners probably expected more scoring from the guard, but a 10-rebound, six-assist supplementary line is hard to complain about. Calderon has now played five games ever since returning from an injury, and a slow start is expected. Still, he's averaging 9.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers made per game during that span. He's worth owning in most formats at this point, and it's likely he'll continue to gradually improve as the weeks go on.

Calderon scored 21 points (7-13 FG, 7-9 3Pt), with 10 rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks.
This game truly came out of nowhere. Calderon had been off to a slow start to the season, but lit it up from three point land in this loss. He's not reliable at this point for fantasy owners, but he's worth keeping an eye on.

Calderon (calf) made his season debut Saturday. He was placed into the starting lineup at point guard and finished with three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 21 minutes.
Calderon should be picked up in any leagues where he might be on waivers. While there's no guarantee as to how much value Calderon will have in the Knicks' Triangle Offense, the fact that he has the starting job means he's in line to get enough minutes that he should have value in all standard leagues.

Calderon (calf) will make his season debut Saturday against the Sixers and will start, Chris Herring of the Wall Street Journal reports.
Calderon's minutes could still be limited as the 33-year-old eases his way back into regular playing time. While Calderon's ability to run the triangle offense doesn't solve the Knicks' more pressing defensive issues, fantasy owners should be excited for Calderon's ability to serve as lead guard for Derek Fisher and Phil Jackson. The Spaniard was New York's biggest offseason addition, meaning they should be planning to feature him heavily.

Calderon (calf) practiced in full Friday and seems to be on track to make his season debut Saturday, The Record reports.
The 33-year-old is expected to be the eventual starting point guard for the Knicks, although it's still unclear if Saturday's potential debut would actual manifest in him starting, or coming off the bench in limited minutes. Regardless of whether or not he ultimately plays Saturday, it appears that he'll be on the court in near future.
