Waiver-wire watch:

• Sam Young: continues to start, has notched double-digit points in five of his last six
• Ersan Ilyasova: also holding onto his starting gig, also hit double-digit points in five of his last six

• Mike Miller: averaging 11.1 points, two threes, 8.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists since Jan. 22
• Christian Eyenga: starting gig seems safe for now, continues to put up solid numbers across the board (except for shooting percentages) (continue reading…)

Waiver-wire watch:

• Ryan Anderson: averaging 14.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 threes in January; he should be owned in nearly all leagues by now
• Chuck Hayes: getting plenty of run at center for the Rockets, doing everything pretty well
• Rudy Fernandez: on a hot streak, could benefit so long as the roster is this depleted

• Ronny Turiaf: lost his starting gig again, but he’s worth monitoring for his shot-blocking ability (continue reading…)
