Harris explodes in return: Jazz guard Devin Harris might have missed Wednesday’s game with an ankle injury, but he more than made up for lost time on Friday, scoring a season-high 28 points in a 104-98 win over the Warriors. Harris was incredibly efficient on the night, shooting 8 of 13 from the field and 5 of 8 from three-point range, while also adding five assists with no turnovers, as he turned in his finest overall performance of the season. He also showed no signs of weakness in the ankle, as he played a team-high 39 minutes. (Updated 04/07/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Harris’ first full season in Utah has been a struggle, as he is putting up his worst numbers since his third season in the league, 2006-07, but Friday was a rare bright spot. He had not been showing signs of life prior to Friday, but maybe it can spark him to a fast finish. That would be the only way he would be anything more than a low-end Fantasy starter in most formats. (Updated 04/07/2012).

Devin Harris performed about as expected last season, averaging 15.2 points and a career-high 7.1 assists over 71 games for the Nets and Jazz. After playing the first 54 games in New Jersey, Harris was shipped west in exchange for Deron Williams. While injuries once again forced the 28-year-old to miss some time, he was able to regroup at the end of the season and finish strong. Now Harris will be asked to run the point for the Jazz, which is something he is more than capable of doing. While many are hoping the change of scenery can re-kindle some of the magic he possessed during the 2008-09 campaign, Harris should at the very least be able match his overall production in New Jersey. That means Fantasy owners will most likely be looking at around 15-18 points and 7-8 assists on a nightly basis, to go along with a handful of rebounds and a steal or two. However, many feel Harris will able to increase his assists totals in the desert, especially with so many proven low-post scorers at his disposal. Harris figures to be more in line with the Jazz's plan heading into to next season and should be an early-to-middle round selection on Draft Day. (Updated 8/29/11)
