Fantasy Analysis
Haywood is more of a defensive plug than anything else for the Mavericks. But even with 20 minutes of court time per game, he's not doing much to help his team. He's averaging 4.5 points, 1.5 blocks and 4.8 boards per contest over his last five games. Fantasy owners should continue to view Haywood as a low-end center option in the deepest of formats.

Russell Westbrook scored 33 points, Kevin Durant added 23 points and 13 rebounds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Dallas Mavericks 95-86 on Wednesday night.
Brendan Haywood is just a season removed from averaging 9.8 points and 10.4 rebounds over 49 games for the Wizards before he was traded to the Mavericks. He averaged 8.1 points and 7.4 rebounds over the remainder of that season with the Mavs, but the addition of Tyson Chandler for the 2010-11 season severely It into Haywood's minutes and touches. At 31, Haywood is still more than capable of putting up near double-double production if given the playing time. However, Fantasy owners should look to him as no more than a potential stashee candidate late in drafts given the limited playing time ahead of him as long as Chandler is healthy. (Updated 8/28/11)
