Description: Apparently Ryan Anderson's shot was sick too because he only made 1-of-10 from 3-point range Friday against the Wizards. He finished with 13 points in 35.5 minutes. | Insight: Anderson played through an illness so we'll give him a pass. Three-point percentage doesn't count in most fantasy leagues anyway. | | |

Description: Hornets forward Ryan Anderson put together an excellent afternoon on Monday against Sacramento, scoring 27 points with six rebounds and a couple of assists. | Insight: Anderson (10-of-22 shooting) took advantage of additional playing time after Anthony Davis went down with a left ankle injury.

| Cold | 12/20/2012 11:57:00 AM |
Description: Hornets forward Ryan Anderson has gone cold from behind the arc his last two games, making just 4-of-22, including 0-of-8 Wednesday versus the Clippers. | Insight: Anderson's seven points Wednesday tied a season low. It was also the first game this season in which he failed to hit a 3-pointer. We aren't worried, the forward has plenty of games like Dec. 16 (26 points, 7-10 3PT) left in him. | | |
| 12/11/2012 11:10:00 PM |
Description: Hornets forward Ryan Anderson only shot 7-of-21 from the field (3-12 3PT) for 17 points with 11 rebounds Tuesday against the Wizards. | Insight: Anderson came in having made 50 percent of his field goal attempts and 47.9 percent of his 3-pointers while averaging 19.9 ppg in his previous 15 games so he was due for a cold spell. | | |

| 11/10/2012 9:44:00 AM |

He's averaging 15.2 ppg and 8.2 rpg through five games. That's pretty close to the 16.1 ppg/7.7 rpg line he posted with the Magic in 2011-12 when he was a starter. | | |
| 11/2/2012 10:37:00 PM |
Description: Hornets forward Ryan Anderson came off the bench again Friday but had a much better game than the opener. Anderson dropped 19 points with six rebounds on the Utah Jazz. | Insight: In a performance reminiscent of last season, Anderson drained five 3-pointers on nine attempts. His ability to knock down the long-range shot should keep his fantasy value high even if he continues to come off the bench. | | |

Description: Magic forward Ryan Anderson made it through the morning shootaround and should be ready to go on Monday night against Detroit. | Insight: With Howard out of the lineup, the Magic will need Anderson and Glen Davis to carry the load. Anderson is averaging 16.1 ppg and 7.5 rpg this season, a huge increase over his 2011 numbers and has been a nice fantasy surprise. | | |
| 4/6/2012 3:48:00 PM |
Description: Stan Van Gundy said Ryan Anderson (ankle) will miss Saturday's game against Philadelphia, according to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel. | Insight: Glen Davis will get another start.

Description: Ryan Anderson has been ruled out for Thursday night's game matchup with the Knicks.

| 4/3/2012 11:17:00 AM |
Description: Ryan Anderson is out Tuesday with a sprained ankle. | Insight: Anderson has been a nice find in 2012, averaging 16.1 ppg and 7.5 rpg. His main asset is his ability to knock down the deep ball. He has attempted seven threes a game this season, averaging 2.9 makes. When he returns, the ankle injury shouldn't hinder his ability to make shots. | | |
| 4/1/2012 9:12:00 PM |
Description: Ryan Anderson sprained his ankle at the end of Orlando's 104-101 home loss Sunday night against Denver. | Insight: If Anderson is forced to miss time with this ankle injury, Glen Davis could start in Anderson's place.
