Injury Report
Ankle - Questionable for Feb. 13 vs. Utah (Updated - 2/11/12)
Fantasy Analysis
Kaman has outplayed starter Emeka Okafor in his two games back for the Hornets. He's averaging 13.5 points and 10.5 rebounds with 2.5 blocks in those two games. Hopefully this injury isn't serious and Kaman is able to get back on the court soon. When healthy, Kaman should be viewed as a viable option in the majority of Fantasy formats. (Updated 02/10/2012).

02/02/2012 10:14 Courtside Seat: Do the Knicks have a point?
The Knicks back court has been inconsistent so far and with Baron Davis close to returning, the picture is murky. Our Jamey Eisenberg breaks down the Knicks going forward and much more from his Courtside Seat.
A devastating ankle injury sidelined C Chris Kaman for nearly three months at the beginning of last season and he struggled to recover. Though he returned to action in February, he never seemed to be 100 percent and a knee injury later in the year capped his disappointing season. Yet Kaman earns a fresh start this season following a trade to New Orleans in December. Kaman, who spent eight years with the Clippers, is just one season removed from averaging 18.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Kaman is still capable of registering the numbers he did in 2009-10, but don't anticipate 15.8 shot attempts per game as he's expected to play behind C Emeka Okafor with the Hornets. Fantasy owners should target Kaman in the middle rounds of 2011-12 drafts. (Updated 12/16/11)
