Nate Robinson scored 14 points off the bench on Wednesday, adding three assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 22 minutes in a shocking 101-97 win over the Heat.
He provided a spark for the Bulls and made a high-arching floater late in the game that can be considered the back-breaker for Miami. Robinson is in a timeshare with Kirk Hinrich and both cancel each other out in standard leagues. Hinrich made some big plays and finished with seven points, five boards, six assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes.

Nate Robinson, who avoided further punishment for his Flagrant-2 foul on Saturday, finished a win over the Wolves with 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting, four 3-pointers and 10 assists.
Nate's value takes a substantial hit as long as he's stuck in the second unit behind Kirk Hinrich, though (as tonight proves) his numbers as a reserve can still be useful in many formats. In 46 games off the bench this season, he's averaging 11.1 points, 1.3 threes, 2.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 20 minutes per game.

Nate Robinson had nine points and five assists before being ejected from Saturday's game after a Flagrant-2 foul.
Nate yanked down a streaking Lance Stephenson from behind, causing Stephenson to tumble awkwardly and nearly hit his head on the court. The NBA reviews all flagrant fouls as a matter of course, and we'll let you know if they decide that it warrants further punishment. Follow the link for video of the foul.

Nate Robinson moved back to the bench on Thursday, playing 31 minutes with eight points, one board and nine assists against Portland.
It was Kirk Hinrich's first game back and the Bulls said they were going to limit Kirk in his debut. Robinson's minutes are going to take a bit of a hit and with Derrick Rose still at least trying to rehab and come back, Robinson could be a dicey player to own. Although, he should remain owned in standard leagues.

Nate Robinson scored 34 points on 13-of-22 shooting (including six treys) with seven assists and two steals in Monday's overtime loss to the Nuggets.
Robinson is cruising right now and owners simply have to hang on and hope that Derrick Rose doesn't return to spoil his party. Kirk Hinrich (foot) has been near a return for seemingly forever, which also threatens to steal away Lil' Him's value.

Nate Robinson had 20 points and seven assists vs. the Warriors on Friday, but it was his defense that most impressed Tom Thibodeau.
"The one thing that stood out, Nate was really into the ball," said Thibodeau. "I thought his ball pressure was very good. We've got to do that all the time." Nate is a solid fantasy option as long as Kirk Hinrich (foot) is sidelined, but Hinrich could return as soon as Monday.

Nate Robinson scored 20 points on 6-of-13 shooting (including three treys) with three rebounds, seven assists and one steal against the Warriors on Friday.
The Warriors' defense is miserable and Robinson exploited his old teammates tonight. With Kirk Hinrich's health always in doubt, he should be owned in standard formats.

Nate Robinson shot 7-of-9 from the field for 19 points with one board, three assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 34 minutes against the Kings on Wednesday.
The Bulls were in Bizzaro World on Wednesday with Nate shooting 77.8 percent and the other Bulls shooting 33.7 percent from the field. Nate shot an ugly 33.3 percent from the field in his previous 10 games, which helps explain why the Bulls are shooting a league-low 40 percent from the field in March. Robinson is worth owning in standard leagues while Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich are out.

Nate Robinson scored 19 points with four boards, eight assists, four steals and two 3-pointers in 43 minutes against the Lakers on Sunday.
His eight dimes and 43 minutes are the most since February 8 and the Bulls are going to lean on Nate with Kirk Hinrich. Derrick Rose said he isn't mentally ready, which means Robinson should be active in most leagues right now.

Nate Robinson scored 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting (1-of-8 3PTS, 5-of-6 FTs) with six rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes in Friday's close win against the Jazz.
Robinson had split time with Marquis Teague the last time out, but Teague played just four minutes tonight and Tom Thibodeau interestingly went without either PG for about eight minutes tonight. Lil' Him should be owned until Derrick Rose steps back on the court.
