Fantasy Analysis
Maggette had been playing well before going down with the injury but looked a little rusty on Friday. It will likely take him a few games to get back on track so keep an eye on his progress going forward. The Bobcats have been desperate for some scoring this season so as long as Maggette can play like he did earlier in the year, he will be a worthwhile add in deeper Fantasy formats.

The Knicks back court has been inconsistent so far and with Baron Davis close to returning, the picture is murky. Our Jamey Eisenberg breaks down the Knicks going forward and much more from his Courtside Seat.
Maggette's first and only season in Milwaukee was a disaster. He appeared in 67 games for the Bucks -- 18 as a starter, 49 coming off the bench -- and saw a major dropoff in production from years past. The 12-3-1 stat line he averaged was his worst since his second year in the league as he struggled to find his role in coach Scott Skiles' offense. However, Maggette is now in Charlotte -- thanks to a Draft Day trade -- and could be in line for a bounce-back season with the Bobcats. He has already been told by coach Paul Silas that he will be the team's starting small forward, which should get his minutes into the 30s on a nightly basis and he will be counted on to be one of the team's primary scorers with Stephen Jackson now out of town. While he is a proven scorer in the NBA, Maggette's injury history makes him a risky option for Fantasy owners. He hasn't played in more than 70 games in each of the last four seasons, which is something owners should take into consideration. Still, if Maggette can stay healthy, he could prove to be a nice sleeper option. (Updated 8/28/11)
