ANALYSIS: Garrett Temple has been playing shockingly solid basketball this year for Sacramento, especially lately while helping fill in for an injured Rudy Gay. Temple is a 30-year-old with a career .398 FG% and .714 FT% whose previous career high in points per game was 7.3. But it's pretty tough to ignore the last week, during which he has put up 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 2.8 treys on an extremely efficient .452 FG% without missing a free throw attempt. If you want to add him now, you're probably just chasing a hot streak. Then again, three of his next four games are against defenses that have been super soft this year (Portland, Minnesota and Philadelphia). It's certainly enticing to roll the dice and see if Temple's late-career renaissance can keep up just a little while longer.
