Fantasy Analysis
Carter is shooting just 36 percent from the field over his last five games and is averaging 7.4 points over that stretch. While the veteran continues to earn starts for the Mavericks his up-and-down production makes it tough to use him for extended periods of time. Consider Carter merely a low-end option at this point in the season. (Updated 03/30/2012).

Father time has finally caught up to Vince Carter, and it doesn't seem likely that he will be able to shake away. Troubled by achy knees throughout the 2010-11 season, Carter suffered through career lows in 22 games with the Magic before being traded to Phoenix and putting up even worse numbers. He averaged just 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 51 games for the Suns. He'll likely be behind Jared Dudley on the depth chart, at least to begin the 2011-12 season, and may only be able to help Fantasy owners in brief spurts from this point on in his career, but the former Fantasy superstar still has some 20-point efforts left in the tank under the right circumstances. Consider him worthy of a late-round pick as a reserve, but don't hold your breath waiting for a renaissance at age 34. (Updated 8/28/11)
