Outlaw a non-factor in start: Kings forward Travis Outlaw received a rare start on Friday as Tyreke Evans and John Salmons were both out as the team traveled to Utah. Despite being in the starting lineup, Outlaw played just 13 minutes total, as he made just 1 of 5 attempts from the field en route to a two-point game, as the Kings won, 104-103. (Updated 03/30/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Outlaw has been largely non-existent since joining the Kings, as he is averaging just 10.5 minutes per game. And he is not doing much to force his way back into the rotation, shooting just 30.5 percent from the field. Outlaw should be avoided in all Fantasy formats. (Updated 03/30/2012).
04/08/2012 01:11 Griffin, Foye carry Clippers over Kings
Blake Griffin had 27 points and 14 rebounds, Randy Foye scored 25 points while hitting seven 3-pointers, and the surging Los Angeles Clippers moved within a half-game of the Pacific Division lead with a 109-94 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.
Outlaw saw a nice increase in minutes last season in his first with New Jersey and he started a career-high 55 games for Avery Johnson’s Nets. Outlaw put up 9.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and almost a 3-pointer per game over 29 minutes last season and the Nets want him to show up in much better shape heading into 2011-12. Outlaw could likely begin the season as a starter for the Nets, though he did last year and ended up back on the bench by the end. GM Billy King isn’t sure what Outlaw’s role will be to begin the year and that makes him a low-end option in Fantasy. He can be considered a top 80 Fantasy forward, but he’ll need to prove himself. If you grab him in Fantasy drafts, make sure it is very late as Outlaw is no certainty to contribute with all the moving pieces in New Jersey. (Updated 8/23/11)
