Redick Back In Action

JJ Redick was back in action Friday night after missing over a month with ligament damage in his right wrist.

Analysis: Redick put up 19 points on 8-15 shooting in 23 minutes of action Friday night against the Lakers. Redick is now averaging 15.9 PPG, 1.9 3PM and 0.8 SPG in 28 minutes per night this year. He’s also shooting 46% from the field and 93% from the line.

People forget that Redick was the 23rd rated fantasy shooting guard last year while playing on two awful teams. As long as Redick is getting 25-plus minutes per game his points production and threes should be enough to make him a valuable fantasy asset. Redick is available in 35-50% of fantasy leagues. Guys like Martell Webster, Vince Carter and Jarrett Jack can and should be dropped for Redick.

But— keep an eye on Avery Bradley. He’s hitting 1.1 threes per game and he’s shooting 39% from three. He’s getting 31 minutes of floor time per night and he’s averaging a respectable 14 PPG and 4 RPG. He’s currently averaging just 1 steal per game but that number could and should climb higher. Bradley is available in 40% of fantasy leagues.

Stock Rising- JJ Redick

JJ Redick has been back in the Orlando starting line up recently and it is paying off from a fantasy perspective.

Analysis: JJ Redick has started in Orlando’s past two games and he’s played over twenty-six minutes per game over his last four contests. Redick has hit ten three pointers in his four game hot streak and he is a perfect eleven for eleven from the line during that stretch. We all know Redick hits threes and is a 95% free throw shooter this year but he does provide some coverage in other fantasy categories as well. Redick is averaging twelve points per game this year and the 2.3 assists per game is certainly serviceable for a fantasy shooting guard.

Redick is available in over half of fantasy leagues and his recent performances have been going under the radar. If he continues to get starting minutes he will get to the line enough where he just isn’t a deep league option. Redick is heading in the right direction, he’s 10-16 recently in three pointers and if he continues to take at least four threes per game his stock will continue to rise.
