Jason Thompson has been a rebounding machine since his return to the Sacramento starting lineup while Ed Davis’ minutes are on the rise.
Analysis: Jason Thompson has averaged 13.0 rebounds per game over his last three contests. His rebounding prowess shouldn’t come as a surprise, Thompson averaged 8.5 rebounds per game in the 2009-10 season. Like with all players, when Thompson’s minutes are up- so is his fantasy value. Thompson is available in well over eighty percent of fantasy leagues.
Jason Thompson has never been much of a shot blocker which does hurt his value a bit as a power forward. However, his points production(recently) along with a 54% field goal percentage this year does boost his value. Along with Toronto’s Ed Davis, Thompson is one of the few power forwards widely available on the wire that can have value in any league format as long as the minutes are up. Ed Davis is a freak but has only averaged twenty-two minutes per game this year. Despite the lack of minutes he’s still rebounding 6.4 per game with 1.0 blocks per game. Davis does have eight blocks and two double-doubles over his last six games. Ed also has center position eligibility which is always a bonus.
