Terrence Jones (SF/PF, HOU) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 63% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: Yeah, I know, Terrence Jones has been pretty disappointing this season. However, he's come on strong lately. On Wednesday night, Jones started in the second half of the game and ended up with 16 points and nine rebounds. This came on the heels of a strong game on Tuesday as well, where Jones stuffed the stat sheet with 20 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals. Those are two strong performances but then you also have to realize they came after a four point outing, so there is some obvious risk here.

The good news here is that Jones is taking steps in the right direction, and that Coach Bickerstaff likes to use Jones for certain matchups. He's not at the point where you would feel good about playing him in standard fantasy leagues, but he's a good stash right now if he's available -- he was drafted in most leagues, but is often available if an active owner got impatient and gave up on him. Grab him now and hope he continues playing well for the Rockets.
