Fantasy Analysis
Hansbrough was coming off a 17-point performance, but has combined for 17 in his three games surrounding that outing. While he is very capable of posting double-digit scoring nights, Hansbrough is still just a role player off the bench. Fantasy owners should continue to view Hansbrough as a low-end forward option.

02/01/2012 11:18 Waiver Wire: Versatile Booker worth a look
The schedule is starting to even out, but injuries continue to shape who gets playing time and who doesn't. If you need help filling out your injury-riddled roster, Ed Gauna is here with his look at the waiver wire.
Indiana F Tyler Hansbrough had a breakout campaign last year, averaging 11 points and 5.2 rebounds during his second season in the league. However, he really didn’t come on until the second half of the season as he benefited the most from the Pacers' mid-season coaching change. Hansbrough saw his playing time increase nearly 10 minutes under Frank Vogel and responded by averaging 15.3 points and 6.7 rebounds following the All-Star break. He seemed poised to improve on those numbers this year, but the Pacers signed David West to play power forward. Hansbrough will likely return to the bench, but he could see some start as West returns from a torn ACL. Hansbrough developed into a quality low-end Fantasy forward, who still has upside. Consider him worthy of a late-round pick in deeper drafts for 2011-12. (Updated 12/16/11)
