Patrick Patterson scored in single digits for the third game in a row with three points in a loss to the Sixers on Saturday. It was an ugly line for him in just 12 minutes. Patterson didn't register any other stats besides one 3-pointer and two fouls. He might be able to bounce back, but with the Rockets getting healthy, owners in standard leagues can probably do better at this point.

Patrick Patterson was quiet in Houston's loss to Boston on Friday with just five points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer in 20 minutes. This was his third game in a row in which he scored in single digits. Patterson played in just 20.8 minutes per game in his eight games since a foot injury, so he's going to have his low moments with that amount of playing time. The Rockets leading the league in pace does offset that low number a bit, so he's worth owning in most standard leagues.

Patrick Patterson had six points, 10 rebounds and a block in 28 minutes on Wednesday. He had just nine points in 19 minutes on Tuesday, but at least saw more minutes in this one. He was hot just a few games ago and is still working his way back from a foot injury, and we expect him to start playing better than this in the near future.

Patrick Patterson hit 4-of-5 shots for nine points, but played just 19 minutes in Tuesday's win. He added four rebounds and a block, but don't read too much into it, as he had scored between 15 and 18 points in his previous three games. Look for him to bounce back on Wednesday. Starter Marcus Morris had nine points and two rebounds in 20 minutes, as it appears the Rockets went small against a Lakers team missing Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol.

Patrick Patterson scored 15 points in 26 minutes off the bench on Saturday, adding six boards, two assists, one block and one 3-pointer against the Cavs. He's put together three nice games in a row in just 23.3 minutes per game. Pat-Pat has averages of 13 points, five boards, 0.8 triples and 0.7 blocks with good percentages this year, so he should be owned in standard formats at the very least.

Patrick Patterson, who had been struggling since returning from a foot injury, had 15 points, 10 rebounds and a 3-pointer on 7-of-8 shooting in 23 minutes Wednesday. Marcus Morris started and had five points and four boards in 21 minutes, and his could be a sign that Patterson is on the verge of reclaiming his starting job. If he was dropped in your league, it's time to think about grabbing him.

Patrick Patterson played 19 minutes off the bench on Monday, scoring eight points on 3-of-5 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds, two assists, and one block. This is a fine line as he gets back on his feet following his foot injury, and owners will want to keep a close eye on him and if you're feeling lucky consider him as a speculative add. He was posting late round value and holding off Marcus Morris (26 minutes, 15 points, 6-of-9 FGs) earlier in the year, but for now Morris is the starter and leader in the position battle.

Patrick Patterson returned from his foot injury in Saturday's blowout loss to the Thunder, but he scored just two points while going 0-of-5 from the field in 10 minutes. Patterson sat out the past two weeks and Kevin McHale will limit his minutes as he gets into game shape. That likely means that he'll stay in a reserve role behind Marcus Morris for a while, but once his minutes ramp up he should be a solid fantasy option. "Hopefully we can start inching him back," said McHale. "I think we'll try to keep him around 15, 20, 25 [minutes]."

Patrick Patterson (foot) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Thunder. He will see limited minutes and hasn't played since December 14. He was worth owning before going down with 13.2 points per game on the season, so he's worth a look in standard leagues.

Patrick Patterson (foot) has "stepped up" his rehab and is eyeing a return on either Saturday or Monday. Patterson is now listed as day-to-day. He was diagnosed with the foot injury in mid-December, so he'll wind up missing approximately two weeks. His rehab sessions have gone better than anticipated, and Patterson has experienced no additional pain. When he does return, Marcus Morris' fantasy outlook will take a hit.
