Dalembert plays through flu off bench: Rockets center Samuel Dalembert was moved to the bench on Friday against the Grizzlies, as he came down with flu-like symptoms. He was still able to play, however Marcus Camby took his place in the starting lineup, with Dalembert playing just 17 minutes in the game. Dalembert was clearly affected, as he scored just six points with two rebounds and three turnovers in the Rockets’ 98-91 win. (Updated 03/30/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Dalembert may have been on the bench because of the flu, however Camby took full advantage of his opportunity and could give the team second thoughts about their center rotation. Dalembert should be healthy moving forward, however whether his minutes continue to be so remains to be seen. Dalembert is a low-end Fantasy center when healthy, so monitor his status.

03/22/2012 22:32 Rockets hold on to eighth spot in West
Goran Dragic had 17 points and nine assists, rookie Chandler Parsons had 20 points and a career-high 11 rebounds and the Houston Rockets beat Golden State 109-83 on Thursday.
Samuel Dalembert proved he can be useful to Fantasy owners even in a bench role in his first season with the Kings. Despite starting just 46 games, his lowest total since his rookie season, he averaged a very useful 8.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. Never much of an offensive weapon, Dalembert remains capable of chipping in around 10 points per game, but his main asset to Fantasy owners remains what he can offer in boards and blocks. View him as a viable No. 3 center to snag in the late rounds as a potential backup to be used, as needed, throughout the season. (Updated 8/28/11)
