Patterson scored 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) with six rebounds, two assists and a block in 37 minutes off the bench Saturday. Jonas Valanciunas was limited to 17 minutes due to an ankle injury, which opened up plenty of court time for Patterson. If Valanciunas ends up missing any games, Patterson would get a nice short-term boost in his value, even if he doesn't actually move into the starting lineup.

Patterson put up 14 points and 13 rebounds off the bench Friday against the 76ers. Curiously, Amir Johnson played only 17 minutes Friday, so Patterson was able to see increased run off the bench. Patterson has ramped up his productivity of late, averaging 10.7 points and 11.7 rebounds over his last three contests. He's still having a rough month, however, as he's shooting an atrocious 34 percent from the floor in January.

Patterson scored seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT) to go along with 13 rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes Monday against the Bucks. The Bucks don't have a ton of size up front, so Patterson took advantage on the glass. He has the ability to put up the occasional strong performance, but he doesn't play enough to be a major fantasy contributor.

Patterson scored 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) with nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal in 25 minutes off the bench Saturday. After going five games without scoring in double digits, Patterson bounced back against a depleted Celtics roster. He's capable of making a contribution in a number of categories on any given night, but his second unit role and usage keep him from being a reliable fantasy asset.

Patterson scored 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3P) with five rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes off the bench Friday. He's now scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 12.7 points, 4.6 boards and 2.7 threes over that stretch. Patterson only has fantasy value in deeper leagues, but he continues to play an important role as a stretch four on the Raptors' second unit.

Patterson scored 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 3P) with eight rebounds, two assists and a block in 39 minutes off the bench Monday. He ended up seeing more court time than either Jonas Valanciunas or Amir Johnson, as Raptors' coach Dwane Casey rode his hot hand from beyond the arc. Patterson has scored in double digits in five of his last six games, averaging 11.7 points, 7.8 boards and 2.2 threes per game over that stretch.

Patterson scored 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3P, 4-4 FT) with 13 rebounds, three assists and a block in 34 minutes off the bench Sunday. Tyler Hansbrough (shoulder) was back in the Raptors' front court after a five game absence, but Patterson still saw heavy action and posted his second straight double-double. He's be hard-pressed to maintain those numbers going forward, however.

Patterson scored 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and added 12 rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes against the Mavericks Friday. Patterson made the most of his extra minutes in the contest, recording his first double-double of the season. He is averaging 24 minutes this season, and Friday marks just the second time he has eclipsed the 30 minutes mark - the other was a 14 points and eight rebounds performance. Coach Dwane Casey always finds room in his rotation to give extra court time to the hot hand. Unfortunately for Patterson, he is not hot often enough to be a consistent beneficiary.

Patterson scored 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3P) with five rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench Saturday. James Johnson suffered an ankle sprain Saturday, which allowed Patterson to see extra minutes as part of the unit Raptors coach Dwane Casey used to close out the game. If Johnson's injury proves to be serious it could mean some extra crunch-time minutes for Patterson, but probably not enough to affect his fantasy value.

Patterson scored 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 3P, 2-2 FT) with eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and block in 36 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Thunder. His second game in the starting lineup was a significant improvement on his disappearing act versus the Heat on Sunday. Amir Johnson will miss at least one more game, so Patterson will get a chance to build on this effort Wednesday night in Boston.
