Fantasy Analysis
Griffin's scoring and rebounding have been slightly down so far this season but there are few players out there that can put up the type of numbers he does. He is averaging 19.6 points with 10.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists in his last five contests, and is shooting 56 percent over that span. The addition of Chris Paul to the Clippers has helped the 22-year-old grow and he should only continue to get better. Griffin will face off against the Maverick, Wizards, Trail Blazers and Spurs in Week 8 (Feb. 13-19) so be sure to keep him active in all Fantasy formats. (Updated 02/10/2012).

As the season progresses, you might start looking at your Fantasy team and wonder who was most worthy of your selection. Our Jamey Eisenberg examines how the Top 12 players drafted are performing so far in different leagues in his Courtside Seat.
02/08/2012 22:13 Sessions sparks Cavs in surprise role
Ramon Sessions scored a season-high 24 points as a last-minute replacement for injured rookie Kyrie Irving and Antawn Jamison scored 27, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 99-92 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
Blake Griffin was able to make up for lost time in 2010-11 after missing what was supposed to be his rookie season due to a broken left kneecap. He played and started all 82 games for the Clippers, instantly stepping into a role as a franchise player by averaging 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists. In standard Head-to-Head leagues, he finished fourth overall in Fantasy points behind only LeBron James, Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook and will head into the 2011-12 season as a player who may go in the first-round in those formats. In Rotisserie leagues, however, his value was significantly less as a result of the damage he can cause in free-throw percentage while being dead weight in 3-point shooting and offering very little in the blocks department. So while he may be off the board in the first round in Head-to-Head, he may be selected as late as Round Four or Five in category play. Fantasy owners should also take into account a possible decline in rebounds this season if Chris Kaman proves healthy and productive again. Griffin's future is that of a Fantasy superstar for years to come, but there is some danger of overvaluing him after his outstanding rookie campaign. (Updated 8/28/11)
