Fantasy Analysis
Terry had an off night on Wednesday when he sustained his hip injury, but seemed fine on Friday. The veteran may need some rest on back-to-back nights to keep fresh, but Terry always seems to find a way to score. He's averaging 14.6 points and 3.6 assists in 32 minutes of action over his last five games. Fantasy owners should continue to view Terry as a viable guard option in the majority of formats.

01/29/2012 21:42 Mavs down Spurs in OT thriller
Jason Terry scored a season-high 34 points, including four in the last 42 seconds of overtime, and the Dallas Mavericks rebounded after blowing a big lead against San Antonio for a 101-100 victory Sunday night.
Jason Terry has been one of the top sixth men in the NBA for the better part of the last four seasons. Even off the bench, the 12-year-veteran is given 30-plus minutes per game and that should continue this season barring injury. A premium source for 3-point shooting, he should average mid-teens in scoring to go with about four assists per game. He will continue to be in the mid 80s in free-throw percentage while also providing over a steal per game. Starter or not for the Mavs, Terry will be worthy of selecting as a viable starting option week-in and week-out in any Fantasy hoops format. His 3-point shooting weighs heaviest in Rotisserie formats, where he could be selected as early as Rounds 5 or 6. In standard Head-to-Head leagues, expect him to go beginning around Rounds 9 or 10.
