The “buy, sell, hold” ratings should be approximately interpreted as follows:

• Buy: the player is a solid trade target because his value is underappreciated yet reliable, or because he’s in a slump

• Sell: don’t believe the player’s recent production and sell high if you own him

Waiver-wire watch:

• Tony Allen: he won’t hit many threes, but Allen is doing a lot in just about every other column, especially steals
• Jerryd Bayless: he had a great line in his start Saturday without Jose Calderon; if Calderon misses more time with his bum hammy, Bayless will finish the season as a stud
• Ed Davis: he’s racked up three double-doubles in his last four games and is worth a look if you need big-man stats, especially while Andrea Bargnani is out (continue reading…)

• Jarrett Jack: his past two games have been solid, though he’s tough to rely on
• Chris Andersen: he’ll always chip in some blocks when he’s playing, but his 17/11/1/2/5 line on Friday was a doozy (continue reading…)
