With injuries, lineup changes and other roster moves affecting playing time, it is important to keep your fantasy lineup up-to-date. Here are some under-the-radar players to take a look at to fill in the final spots on your team, as well as some who no longer warrant ownership. Also, a quick look at some players who had notable weeks, both good and bad. Take a look at… D.J. Augustin (PG - Det) – 39.7% owned: This is a man who has a knack of filling in when his team’s starting point guard goes down with injury. Augustin scored a career-high 35 points in Sunday’s loss to the Raptors to go along with eight assists. He won’t put up those kind of numbers each game, but his tenure as the Pistons new starting point guard got off to the right start. Augustin also takes care of the basketball, and a low turnover rate is always a positive for guards. If he’s still available, snatch him up. Brian Roberts (PG/SG - Cha) – 4.5% owned: With news that Kemba Walker could miss up to six weeks after choosing to undergo knee surgery, Roberts suddenly becomes the man running the offence for Charlotte. In Saturday’s start against the Knicks, Roberts posted respectable numbers across the board in 33 minutes. He won’t distribute the ball the way Walker did, and it remains to be seen what kind of role Steve Clifford will give to Roberts in terms of scoring the basketball, but those in need of an injury fill-in at point guard should look at picking up Roberts. Timofey Mozgov (C - Cle) – 37.3% owned: A trade to Cleveland looks to be exactly what Mozgov needed to return to Fantasy relevance. A droppable centre in Denver, Mozgov is averaging close to a double-double with the Cavaliers (9.8 points, 9.0 rebounds per game). He won’t provide much scoring and will put up some duds as he remains the fifth option of offence, but won’t hurt owners in shooting percentages when he actually gets the ball. Mozgov has also been able to rediscover his ability to block shots, which is always a bonus. Langston Galloway (PG/SG - NYK) – 17.8% owned: Kudos to Galloway for making the most of his two 10-day contracts with the Knicks. Since being signed, Galloway became an immediate part of the rotation and has started the last four games, scoring in double digits in each contest. As a starter, Galloway is averaging 14.5 points on 47.9% shooting, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, so he is more of a scorer than a traditional point guard. If the Knicks have any bright spots this season, it could be Galloway, at least for now. Maybe say goodbye to… Reggie Jackson (PG/SG - OKC) – 52.5% owned: With the Thunder now healthy and rolling, combined with the acquisition of Dion Waiters, Jackson’s role as a go-to scorer off of the bench has been diminished. In his last five games, Jackson has scored in double digits only twice and went scoreless on Wednesday. There are better, more consistent options available on the wire who can provide more than what Jackson does, as his bad days are starting to outweigh the good. Unless he gets moved at the trade deadline, Jackson’s value in Fantasy remains spotty. Kelly Olynyk (PF/C - Bos) – 17.3% owned: Olynyk has missed the last three games with a right ankle sprain and an MRI revealed that he will be out for at least two weeks. He had carved himself a nice role coming off the bench for the Celtics and showed signs of a rebound after struggling earlier in the month. However, Olynyk is not worth stashing on a roster while he is out with injury. If he is someone who you covet once he comes back, keep an eye on his healing progress and pick him up closer to his return date. Otherwise, find someone else to fill the void for now. Josh Smith (SF/PF - Hou) – 70.7% owned: In shallower leagues, owners can probably afford to drop Smith. His initial struggles in Houston, along with his disastrous time with the Pistons, have likely scared off owners from touching Smith and they wouldn’t be blamed for that. It is not uncommon for Smith to put up some duds after a few nice games, which can be frustrating for those still hoping he can put it together. His numbers across the board have fallen since the move to the Rockets, and he has been there long enough for owners to be able to properly evaluate him. Tony Wroten (PG/SG – Phi) – 20.2% owned: He has missed Philadelphia’s last eight games with a torn ACL that will require surgery. Although the team has yet to announce anything, Wroten will miss the rest of the season. Even in a keeper league, Wroten is not worth stashing and should no longer be owned. He was a great find this season for owners and the 76ers, averaging 16.9 points, 5.2 assists and 1.6 steals in 30 games. The week that was: Hot: Brandon Jennings (Det) dished out a career-high 21 assists on Wednesday, continuing his strong play for the Pistons. Unfortunately, he tore his Achilles and will miss the rest of the year. Klay Thompson (GSW) scored an NBA-record 37 points in the third quarter and finished the game with a career-high 52. During his record-setting frame, Thompson went 13-of-13 from the field, including nine three-pointers. Coming off of the bench didn’t stop Hassan Whiteside (Mia) from posting a triple-double, setting the Miami Heat record of 12 blocks in a game. Not: Making his third start in as many games, Dante Exum (Uta) went scoreless in 25 minutes. The fifth overall pick has struggled in his rookie campaign. DeMar DeRozan (Tor) had a rough week, scoring only 14 points in three games before bouncing back nicely against Detroit. Rajon Rondo (Dal) didn’t do much on the boxscore. Before Sunday’s game, Rondo only handed out eight assists over three games. Jakub Zboril Jersey . Hall joined Bengals teammates for a voluntary workout on Monday. Hes got his mobility back and is on schedule to be ready for the season. CINCINNATI - Bengals cornerback Leon Hall is happy with his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon and expects to be ready for the start of training camp in July. Sean Kuraly Jersey . Ireland was the last unbeaten side in the championship after France fell to Wales on Friday, and was favoured to end a three-match losing run to England with a side with more than twice as many caps, rampant momentum, and added incentive to celebrate Brian ODriscolls world record-tying 139th test cap. http://www.thebostonbruinshockey.com/david-pastrnak-hockey-jersey/ .J. -- All those records, all for naught. Charlie McAvoy Jersey . As the schedule flipped from November to December, they would go on to drop five straight, falling six games below the .500 mark before a franchise-altering trade turned them into an unrecognizable team. Ray Bourque Jersey . Kelli Stack and Alex Carpenter also scored for the Americans, who avoided a repeat of Finlands upset at the Four Nations Cup in Lake Placid, N.Y., in November. Finnish goalie Noora Raty made 58 saves in that one, but the three-time Olympian could stop just 40 of 43 U.TORONTO -- Frustrating. Entertaining. Disappointing. The Toronto Blue Jays wrapped up yet another roller-coaster season Sunday rife with emotion. We were an entertaining team, manager John Gibbons said before the season finale against Baltimore. A frustrating team but very entertaining. I think we gave our fans some pretty good entertainment along the way. But in saying that too were all disappointed. Toronto went into the final game with an 83-78 record, tied with the Yankees for second in the AL East. The Jays were 38-24, six games atop the American League East, on June 6 -- fuelled in large part by a 21-9 May (a .700 record for the month). If May was the peak, August was the valley. The team slumped to a 9-17 record (.346) with Adam Lind, Edwin Encarnacion and Brett Lawrie missing chunks of action through injury. Every team goes into the season optimistically, all 30 of them. But realistically not all 30 have a shot. We felt we had a shot, Gibbons said. General manager Alex Anthopoulos also said the team fell short. We didnt achieve our goals. That goes without saying, he said. Its more disheartening this season, I felt like we were close. Obviously we were theere the bulk of the year, he added.dddddddddddd But he repeated his confidence in Gibbons, who has a rolling contract that kicks in every Jan. 1 Anthopoulos said he was excited about the off-season, given the team has some roster flexibility in terms of options and expiring contracts. But he said it was too early to talk about the 2015 payroll, reportedly around US$137 million this season The GM did repeat Torontos stance that it wont offer contacts longer than five years. The team will have to dig deep into its pocket to re-sign left-fielder Melky Cabrera and needs to solve question-marks in centre-field, second base and the bullpen. The bench and defence also has to be upgraded. The starting rotation of R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Drew Hutchinson, Marcus Stroman and J.A. Happ was better than expected once it came together. Aaron Sanchez, used in the bullpen, is also likely to see action as a starter in spring training. You can never have enough depth, Anthopoulos said when asked whether the team can afford to trade any of its starting talent. Anthopoulos said the team is reviewing what it can do to keep oft-injured third baseman Lawrie on the field. ' ' '
