LaMarcus Aldridge Has A Great Scoring Night Against Dallas
4 years agoSan Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge was on a roll offensively in Friday's loss to Dallas, shooting 11-for-18 from the field on his way to 26 points. He went 4-for-7 from three-point range, adding nine rebounds, two assists, and one block. Aldridge's recent games have been a bizarre sight, as his scoring output reads 26-4-22-4. His inconsistency must be very frustrating for fantasy managers. Aldridge has a superb matchup vs. Washington next, but the pattern of his recent outings points to an underperformance, so relying on him looks like risky business at the moment.

LaMarcus Aldridge Out Again On Sunday
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) won't play against the Knicks on Sunday. The veteran is currently dealing with a right hip issue, and he's missed two games already as a result. He's expected to be out at least another week, which will allow Nicolas Claxton and James Johnson to get some additional minutes. However, Johnson should be the preferred option for fantasy managers, primarily after posting 16 points and five blocks on Thursday during the win over Philadelphia.

LaMarcus Aldridge Will Miss Next Two Contests
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game vs. Charlotte and Thursday's matchup with the 76ers after undergoing an MRI on his hip. Aldridge has been an integral part of the Nets' second unit for the majority of the season, averaging 13.5 PPG while shooting a career-best 55.4 percent from the floor. Nicolas Claxton and Blake Griffin figure to snag an additional handful of minutes in the frontcourt, while larger offensive roles should fall to Patty Mills and Cam Thomas off Brooklyn's bench. Aldridge's next opportunity to suit up comes Sunday against the Knicks.

LaMarcus Aldridge Won't Play Saturday
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. It sounds like the veteran big man is going to be sitting out through the All-Star break. That's not good news for his fantasy value with Andre Drummond in town. Drummond should immediately slide into the starting five in Brooklyn Aldridge is going to take a significant hit in value due to the fact Drummond is in the rotation. Fantasy managers can wait and see how they coexist if they want, but Aldridge might not be worth rostering in standard leagues for much longer.

LaMarcus Aldridge Will Be Sidelined Tuesday
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Boston as he continues to work his way back from a sprained left ankle. Aldridge's absence is set to mark his fifth in a row, and should pave the way for Blake Griffin to play a significant role in the frontcourt, especially if Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is ultimately held out as well. Aldridge has been an integral member of the Nets' second unit over his past seven appearances, averaging 14 points and 5.6 boards despite playing just 23.1 minutes on a nightly basis. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday vs. the Wizards.
