Description: Nets PF/C Andray Blatche had 18 points on 9-of-11 shooting with four rebounds, four steals and a block Saturday against the Hawks in just 20 minutes of play. | Insight: Blatche has had some useful spurts this season, like when he averaged 17.3 ppg and 8,6 rpg from Nov. 28 to Dec. 14 and 12.8 ppg and 6.8 rpg from Jan. 1-18, but he otherwise hasn't been worth your time in fantasy leagues. | | |

Description: Nets PF/C Andray Blatche (illness) missed the morning shootaround and is questionalbe for Tuesday's game with the Lakers. | Insight: Blatche is averaging 10.7 points and 5.6 rebounds this season, but most of the damage has been done when he was a starter. If he's sidelined, Kris Humphries would see more playing time. | | |

Description: Nets PF/C Andray Blatche (illness) will play Tuesday against Toronto. SOURCE: Tim Bontemps, New York Post | Insight: Blatche is averaging 11.2 points and 6.1 rebounds this season, but most of the damage is done when he's a starter (17.6 ppg, 8.9 rpg) versus off the bench (9.8 ppg, 5.5 rpg). | | |

Description: Nets PF/C Andray Blatche is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto due to illness. He'll be a game-time decision. | Insight: Blatche is averaging 11.2 points and 6.1 rebounds this season, but most of the damage is done when he's a starter (17.6 ppg, 8.9 rpg) versus off the bench (9.8 ppg, 5.5 rpg). | | |

Description: Nets PF/C Andray Blatche scored 20 points with seven rebounds and two assists on Tuesday versus Philadelphia. | Insight: Blatche is averaging 14.5 points and 8.8 rebounds in four games since the calendar flipped to January. He's only playing about 22 mpg in that span, however, so he has been doing his damage in limited playing time. | | |
| 1/8/2013 5:07:00 PM |
Description: Nets PF/C Andray Blatche will be available for Tuesday's game. SOURCE: Stefan Bondy, New York Daily News | Insight: Blatche was questioned by police on Monday regarding an alleged sexual assault case in Philadelphia but was released and will not be charged. The Nets backup center is only averaging 9.7 points in 19 minutes in 13 games since Brook Lopez returned to the starting lineup. | | |
| 12/24/2012 10:22:00 AM |
Description: Nets PF/C Andray Blatche could get the start for Kris Humphries who is dealing with an abdominal problem. | Insight: Blatche (11.5 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.1 apg, 1.1 spg) should be a nice fantasy option until Humphries is healthy or traded. He's played very well when asked to start, averaging 17.6 ppg, 8.9 rpg. in seven starts. | | |
| 12/20/2012 9:49:00 AM |
Description: Nets center Andray Blatche has only scored 8.0 ppg over his last three games after averaging 17.3 ppg his previous nine. | Insight: Blatche's run was fun while it lasted but his playing time is likely to fluctuate now that Brook Lopez has returned. Fantasy owners can hold onto him for a short time since Kris Humphries' hold on the starting PF job is tenuous, but the offensively challenged Reggie Evans is probably next in line if Humphries loses the job again since the second unit would have no scoring without Blatche. | | |
| Hot | 12/14/2012 12:04:00 PM |
Description: Brooklyn center Andray Blatche has played well in place of injured Brook Lopez and could stay in the starting lineup despite the return of Lopez, expected to be Friday night versus Detroit. | Insight: Blatche, who is averaging 18.2 ppg over the last six games could slide over to the power forward slot where Kris Humphries has been struggling. | | |
| Hot | 12/12/2012 9:53:00 AM |
Description: Brooklyn center Andray Blatche, who led the team with 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting Tuesday against the Knicks, should start Wednesday's game as well since starter Brook Lopez didn't make the trip to Toronto. | Insight: Blatche, who is averaging 18.2 ppg over the last six games, should have at least one more game to shine before returning to his backup role. | | |
| Hot | 12/11/2012 10:27:00 PM |
Description: Brooklyn center Andray Blatche led the team with 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting Tuesday against the Knicks. Blatche added four boards and two steals. | Insight: Blatche has turned around his career in Brooklyn. He was solid off the bench earlier this year but has really stepped his game up since joining the starting lineup when Brook Lopez went down with a foot sprain. Blatche is averaging 18 ppg, 9.4 rpg and 2.0 spg over his last seven games (six starts). | | |
| Hot | 12/11/2012 11:05:00 AM |
Description: Brooklyn big man Andray Blatche will get another chance to play center with starter Brook Lopez out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. | Insight: Blatche, who is averaging 17.2 ppg over the last five games, should have at least one more game to shine before returning to his backup role. As long as Lopez is out (sprained foot) Blatche should continue to be productive. | | |
| Hot | 12/8/2012 9:40:00 AM |
Description: Brooklyn big man Andray Blatche stayed hot with 22 points and 15 boards Friday night against the Warriors. | Insight: He's averaging 20.3 ppg this month, his highest scoring output since averaging 23.6 ppg in April 2011. As long as Brook Lopez is out (sprained foot) Blatche should continue to be productive. | | |
| Hot | 12/4/2012 10:26:00 PM |
Description: Nets center Andray Blatche produced another dominant line Tuesday versus the Thunder, scoring 19 points with 11 boards and three steals in 26 minutes. | Insight: Blatche is filling in while Brook Lopez nurses a foot injury. He's averaging 17.5 points and 10.3 rebounds over his last four games (three starts). Lopez dealt with lingering foot issues all of last season so Blatche could find himself starting for longer than expected. | | |
| 12/4/2012 11:15:00 AM |
Description: The Brooklyn Nets will likely start Andray Blatche at center while Brook Lopez (foot) is out. | Insight: Backup Reggie Evans (flu) is also expected to miss, leaving Andray Blatche to get most of the floor time. Blatche is averaging 10.1 ppg and 5.8 rpg this season, but as a starter he's put up numbers equal to Lopez - averaging 17.0 ppg and 8.5 rpg. | | |
| 11/30/2012 6:12:00 PM |
Description: The Nets will start Andray Blatche at center while Brook Lopez (foot) is out. | Insight: Blatche has alternated double- and single-digit scoring games over the last 11 contests but he's shown flashes of fantasy relevance. He's worth a short-term pick-up in deeper leagues, especially considering Lopez' history with foot injuries. | | |
| 11/29/2012 3:34:00 PM |
Description: Following the ejections of Nets forwards Kris Humphries and Gerald Wallace Wednesday night against the Celtics, Andray Blatche stepped in and finished with 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting with 13 rebounds and two steals. | Insight: Blatche has alternated double- and single-digit scoring games over the last 11 contests. He's not receiving enough consistent minutes to be a fantasy factor in most leagues but he's a player to watch in case Humphries or Brook Lopez succumb to injury. | | |
| 10/26/2012 1:25:00 PM |
Description: Nets forward Andray Blatche missed Friday's practice with flu-like symptoms. | Insight: Blatche won't start for Brooklyn, but figures to be the first big man off the bench behind PF Kris Humphries and C Brook Lopez. Blatche averaged 8.5 ppg and 5.8 rpg in an injury-filled season for Washington. It was just 2010 that he averaged 16.8 ppg and 8.2 rpg and was a fantasy starter. | | |
| 10/16/2012 10:25:00 PM |
Description: Nets forward Andray Blatche led the team with 23 points and chipped in nine rebounds in Tuesday's preseason game against the Celtics. | Insight: None of Brooklyn's starters played Tuesday but they were all out there in the team's last preseason game and Blatche still scored 16 points and had eight rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench. It's becoming increasingly likely that Blatche is going to contribute for this team off the bench during the regular season so he's worth a late-round flier. | | |
| 9/12/2012 9:50:00 PM |
Description: The Brooklyn Nets have officially signed forward Andray Blatche to a one-year non-guaranteed contract. | Insight: Blatche regressed to 8.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game in 26 games last season after averaging 16.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 64 games in 2010-11. The forward wore out his welcome quickly in Washington and he'll have to work hard during training camp to make the roster. Even if he makes the team, it's unlikely he'll have any fantasy value playing behind Brook Lopez and Kris Humphries. | | |
