Description: Nets guard C.J. Watson has been starting in place of Joe Johnson (heel) the past two games. | Insight: Johnson (17.0 ppg) is doubtful for Tuesday so Watson could once again have fantasy value. His value is short-term only as when Deron Williams and Johnson are healthy he doesn't see enough action to warrant a fantasy owner's attention. | | |
| 2/22/2013 7:04:00 PM |
Description: Nets guard C.J. Watson will start in place of Joe Johnson Friday against Houston. | Insight: Earlier we reported that MarShon Brooks (5.1 ppg) was likely to start but apparently coach P.J. Carlesimo had different ideas. Johnson (17.0 ppg) is only expected to miss one game so Watson's reign of fantasy relevance (if you can call it that) will be shortlived. | | |
| 2/13/2013 11:20:00 AM |
Description: Brooklyn Nets backup PG C.J. Watson was not the answer in the first of two starts at PG before the All-Star break for injured Deron Williams. | Insight: Watson shot an ugly 0-for-7 with four rebounds and three assists on Monday. He has started just two games this season, but last season in Chicago he averaged 11.3 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 4.6 apg as a starter. | | |
| 2/11/2013 3:45:00 PM |
Description: Brooklyn Nets backup PG C.J. Watson will be forced into a starting role for the final two games before the All-Star break as Deron Williams (ankle) has been declared out for the next two games. | Insight: Hopefully backup C.J. Watson is over his illness and can guide the Nets offense. Watson has started just one game this season, but last season in Chicago he averaged 11.3 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 4.6 apg as a starter. | | |
| 2/10/2013 11:53:00 AM |
Description: Brooklyn Nets backup PG C.J. Watson (5.9 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1.6 apg) is questionable for Sunday's game against San Antonio due to illness. | Insight: He's currently getting only about 18 mpg behind Deron Williams and his only fantasy value is as a handcuff to Williams at this time. | | |
| 2/5/2013 9:49:00 AM |
Description: Brooklyn Nets backup PG C.J. Watson (6.2 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1.6 apg) did not practice on Monday and will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Lakers. | Insight: When Watson is in a starting role, as he was for 25 games last season with Chicago, he has proven to be a viable fantasy asset, but he's currently getting only about 18 mpg behind Deron Williams even when healthy. His only fantasy value is as a handcuff to Williams at this time. | | |
| 1/3/2013 11:30:00 AM |
Description: Nets backup PG C.J. Watson did not play in Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City. He's been dealing with a sore right knee and is questionable for Friday's game against Washington. | Insight: When Watson is in a starting role, as he was for 25 games last season with Chicago, he has proven to be a viable fantasy asset, but he's currently getting only about 18 mpg behind Deron Williams even when healthy. His only fantasy value is as a handcuff to Williams at this time. | | |
| 1/2/2013 11:22:00 AM |
Description: Nets backup PG C.J. Watson is probable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City. He's been dealing with a sore right knee. | Insight: When Watson is in a starting role, as he was for 25 games last season with Chicago, he has proven to be a viable fantasy asset, but he's currently getting only about 18 mpg behind Deron Williams. His only fantasy value is as a handcuff to Williams at this time. | | |
| 10/13/2012 10:16:00 PM |
Description: C.J. Watson contributed 19 points Saturday in his Brooklyn Nets debut. | Insight: The former Bulls guard was 7-for-11 on field goal attempts during the 108-105 victory over Philadelphia including 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point arc. He also added three rebounds and a pair of assists. Watson did not commit a turnover in his 30 minutes of play. | | |
| 7/23/2012 7:57:00 PM |
Description: Former Bulls point guard C.J. Watson has agreed to a two-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets. | Insight: He'll serve as a backup to Deron Williams (21 ppg, 8.7 apg). Watson, who made 25 starts for Chicago last season while filling in for the injured Derrick Rose (21.8 ppg, 7.9 apg), averaged 9.7 ppg on 4.1 apg in 49 games in 2011-12. | | |
| 5/18/2012 7:58:00 PM |
Description: C.J. Watson had surgery to fix the plantar fisciitis he was experiencing on both of his feet. | Insight: It looks like Derrick Rose won't be the only Bulls guard recovering from offseason surgery this summer. Watson's condition however is far less serious and we'd fully expect him to be on the court starting at point guard when the 2012-13 season gets underway. | | |
| 5/6/2012 9:21:00 PM |
Description: After being shut out in Game 3, C.J. Watson responded Sunday by tallying 17 points on 5-of-18 shooting for the Bulls, who fell 89-82 to eighth-seeded Philadelphia. | Insight: Watson also had six boards and four assists. It wasn't as bad as his horrifc Game 3, but Watson still isn't giving the Bulls the kind of production that Derrick Rose gave them night in and night out. Chicago will have one last chance to right the ship Tueday in Game 5. | | |
| 4/8/2012 5:20:00 PM |
Description: C.J. Watson collected seven points, two rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes of action in Sunday's loss to the Knicks. | Insight: As expected, Watson's stats suffered in Derrick Rose's return to the lineup. Expect that trend to continue as the season wears on. | | |
| 4/8/2012 3:13:00 PM |
Description: With Derrick Rose making his return to the starting lineup, C.J. Watson was relegated to a reserve role on Sunday. | Insight: Rose is playing without any restrictions on minutes so we wouldn't expect Watson to see enough playing time to be fantasy relevant going forward. | | |
| 3/19/2012 11:59:00 AM |
Description: Chicago Bulls backup point guard C.J. Watson will start for Derrick Rose on Monday night against Orlando. | Insight: At this point expect Rose to miss both games of Chicago's road trip. Watson is averaging 13.6 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 4.5 apg in 11 starts this season. | | |
| 3/13/2012 10:26:00 AM |
Description: Chicago Bulls point guard C.J. Watson will likely start a couple games over the weekend as Derrick Rose is an unlikely participant with a groin injury. | Insight: Watson posted 11 points, four rebounds and four assists against a stingy Miami Heat defense on Wednesday and should improve on those numbers against Portland and Philadelphia this weekend if he gets the starting assignment. | | |
| 2/21/2012 1:51:00 PM |
Description: Chicago Bulls backup guard C.J. Watson missed the last game with a migraine. | Insight: It was fortunate for the Bulls that MVP point guard Derrick Rose returned to action. Rose can easily cover Watson's minutes. | | |
| Hot | 2/7/2012 9:45:00 AM |
Description: C.J. Watson was solid in a replacement role for Derrick Rose (back). Watson had 14 points, seven rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 39 minutes. | Insight: Watson could be a reliable substitute for Rose should he miss Wednesday's game against the Hornets. He won't score like Rose, but he is a solid stats-filler. If you own Rose, you should pick up Watson in case the injury lingers for a few games. | | |
| 11/27/2010 12:43:00 PM |
Description: C.J. Watson put up a D-Rose-like line with 33 points, three boards, three assists, two steals, and two blocks in an incredible 44 minutes. | Insight: This isn't too shocking of a line since he did this on several occasions when spelling Monta Ellis or Stephen Curry. He is a fantastic add in Saturday's game and all owner should be aware of his existence in the event of a serious Derrick Rose injury. | | |
| 11/27/2010 7:01:00 AM |
Description: Watson started for an ailing Derrick Rose and had 33 points in the one-point loss to the Nuggets. He was 11-for-22 from the field. | Insight: Watson had played limited minutes in backing up Rose, who missed the game with a stiff neck and is day-to-day. No need to pick up Watson.
