Roy Hibbert returned to double-digit scoring on Sunday with 15 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal, three blocks and zero turnovers in an easy win vs. the Celtics.
None of Boston's big men could check Hibbert, whose only blemish was a 1-of-4 mark at the FT line. His blocks per game have inexplicably dipped from 3.4 per game in November to just 1.3 per game in December, but fantasy owners can comfortably assume that he'll be among the league leaders when it's all said and done.

Roy Hibbert had just six points, two rebounds and one block in 23 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Heat.
He was in foul trouble early and then picked up his fifth as soon as Frank Vogel put him back in the game. He returned the bench and was never a factor tonight, despite the fact that the Heat don't really have much at center. Hibbert also had a brutal game on Monday, when he hit 2-of-12 shots for six points, four boards and two blocks, but it's hard to imagine him struggling this badly for much longer. Unfortunately, he has a tough test on Friday when the Pacers host Dwight Howard and the Rockets, so owners might have to wait a little longer for Hibbert to get back on track. Indiana has now lost two straight games, and Hibbert's disappearing act is surely a big reason why.

Roy Hibbert shot 2-of-12 from the field for six points with four boards and two blocks in 35 minutes against the Pistons on Monday.
He matched his season low in rebounds and his six points were tied for his second lowest. Hibbert scored at least a dozen points in nine consecutive games and is shooting 48 percent on the season. He was terrible before the break last year, shooting just 41.4 percent over that span, so it's nice to see he's starting this season off nicely. His owners can expect him to rebound against the Heat on Wednesday.

Roy Hibbert took advantage of Al Jefferson's shaky defense on Friday, going for 18 points, 11 rebounds, a steal and three blocks in the win.
Hibbert's scoring is usually an issue, but he's hit double digits in nine straight games and is averaging 15.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks over his last five games, while shooting over 57 percent from the floor. Last season's constant missed bunnies aren't happening this time around and he's hitting 49 percent of his shots, after hitting just 45 percent from the floor last year.

Roy Hibbert terrorized the Heat's interior defense in Tuesday's 90-84 victory over the Heat with 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting to go with five boards and one block in 37 minutes.
He tied his season high in minutes and it's not a surprise after Hibbert's outstanding series against the Heat last year with his 22.1 points per game in the Eastern Conference Finals. He's spent a lot of time working on his offensive game and it showed tonight with several pretty moves in the low post. He turns 27 on Wednesday and should be considered as the frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year on the league's best defense.

Roy Hibbert shot 6-of-13 from the field for 16 points in Monday's 106-102 loss to the Blazers to go with 14 boards, three assists and one block in 37 minutes.
His blocks have evaporated over his last five, averaging just 1.2 per game while also shooting just 41.8 percent from the field. Outside of those two areas, his averages are up in every other area -- including 3.8 fouls. Hibbert is fine and is one of the best centers to own in fantasy. Perhaps it might be a decent chance to buy low on him.

Roy Hibbert scored 19 points with eight boards, two assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes against the Clippers on Sunday.
He had a big tap-back on a Lance Stephenson free throw miss in the last minute of the game to help seal the win for the Pacers. Hibbert's blocks have dipped a little lately and he's relinquished the lead in blocks per game to Anthony Davis. His offensive game has also made some nice progress this season and he shouldn't be viewed as a sell-high player whatsoever.

Roy Hibbert notched 14 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks in Wednesday's road game, but he shot just 4-of-14 from the field.
This marks the fourth time in five games that Hibbert has missed more than half of his shots, and he's 16-of-44 (36.4 percent) during that stretch. The location of his shots is not the problem, and 11 of his shots came within eight feet of the hoop tonight, but he's only shooting 46.5 percent from that proximity this season. The good news is that his competent FT shooting, combined with stellar rebounding and blocking, gives him plenty of value even when he's misfiring on shots around the rim.

Roy Hibbert was quiet in Monday's 98-84 win against the Wolves, scoring three points with five boards, one assist, one block and one assist in 27 minutes.
He was on the other end of the spectrum tonight following his 27-point, 13-board, six-block game on Saturday, so there's no reason to worry about Hibbert's sub-par line here. On top of leading the NBA in blocks, his man is shooting just 35.3 percent at the rim and he's the current favorite for Defensive Player of the Year after the voters screwed up and had him as 10th best last season.

The Pacers defeated the short-handed 76ers on Saturday, 106-98, led by Roy Hibbert's 27 points, 13 rebounds and six blocked shots.
Hibbert's big game was aided by the absence of Spencer Hawes (knee). He has improved his season average to 4.3 blocks per game, giving him some breathing room ahead of second-place Anthony Davis (3.9 per game). It would be nice if he made more than 50 percent of his shots within eight feet (43-of-86 overall this season), but that's easy to overlook after a monster game like this.
