6 years agoIndiana Pacers forward TJ Leaf got the start Thursday night against the Houston Rockets and did not disappoint. The Pacers sat out forward Thaddeus Young (knee) allowing Leaf to play 33 minutes and post a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds. Leaf rounded out a solid stat line by contributing four assists, two steals and a block. As long as Young remains sidelined, Leaf would receive a boost in fantasy value, but there are no reports the injury is too serious. Come regular season, Leaf should return to his limited role off the bench.--Dale Johnson - RotoBaller
