Evans returns from illness: Clippers forward Reggie Evans was back on the floor on Sunday against the Hornets, after missing the team’s previous two games with the flu. Evans did not attempt a field goal, scoring one point on 1 of 2 from the free-throw line, while grabbing four rebounds in 11 minutes. His numbers weren’t great, but he played a big role in the Clippers’ 107-98 win. (Updated 04/23/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Evans has seen his miutes slipping recently, a trend that continued on Sunday. He provides the Clippers with important toughness and defense, however that does not translate to Fantasy production, so leave him on waivers in all formats, as he has averaged just 1.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game on the season.

Fantasy owners looking for a cheap source of rebounding may or may not have a gem in Evans. That is because Evans, while averaging 11.5 boards per game last season over 27 minutes per night, has not been able to stay healthy over the last two seasons. The 31-year-old played in just 30 games last year after seeing action in only 28 the year prior. It is clear that with minutes, Evans can be a big-time rebounder. However, the Raptors made sure they have plenty of other options and Evans will have to compete for playing time with Ed Davis, Joey Dorsey, Amir Johnson, James Johnson, Linas Kleiza, Julian Wright and Sonny Weems, who all play similar positions. If Evans can get back to playing big minutes and ripping down boards with regularity, he’ll be a nice Fantasy option, especially in category-based leagues. However, we don’t recommend drafting him because he may have fallen out of Toronto’s everyday plans. (Updated 8/23/11)
