BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues
OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! Leagues
ANALYSIS: Gerald Henderson has scored double digit points in five straight games, and in seven of the last eight. It looks like Henderson is finally getting into a groove with the Blazers and he could have some deep league fantasy value. Any value he has will hinge on his scoring ability, because his other contributions are middling at best, but his scoring will often be enough in deep leagues.
Over the last five games, Henderson has at least one three-pointer in each contest. He's also averaging 4.6 rebounds per game over this span, which is really the only other category in which he can be of relative service. The uptick in playing time he has gotten lately though has resulted in some steady, albeit low-end, assists, steals, and blocks.
Ultimately this could just be a case of the Trail Blazers trying to showcase and deal Henderson at the trade deadline. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride in the meantime and hope a trade doesn't materialize.
