Humphries back in double figures: Nets forward Kris Humphries found his way back into double digits on Saturday night as he scored 15 points versus the Spurs. He shot 70 percent from the field and went 1 for 2 at the charity stripe. The big man added two blocks and eight boards in his 31 minutes of work. The Nets would lose the game, 103-89.

Fantasy Analysis
Humphries failed to reach double figures in his previous two games, as he's been struggling to score. He's averaging 11.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game over his last five outings. He's having a career year for the Nets and has stepped up with Brook Lopez sidelined. Fantasy owners should continue to view him as a high-end forward option in all formats. (Updated 02/12/2012).

Luke Ridnour made the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:23 left, Nikola Pekovic scored a career-high 27 points, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the New Jersey Nets 108-105 on Friday night.
Humphries is only 26, but he’s already playing in his eighth NBA season with his fourth NBA team as he enters 2011-12 with the Nets. Humphries played a career-high 74 games last year and started in 44 of them as he erupted onto the Fantasy scene under coach Avery Johnson. He became a go-to player for New Jersey last year as he averaged 10 points and 10 boards per game with 1.1 blocks and 53 percent shooting from the field over 28 minutes. Humphries was such a good rebounder, he limited Brook Lopez’s boards and rendered the center just a scorer as he did the dirty work down low. Fantasy owners can expect more of the same from Humphries, who has been lauded by his coach and Nets GM Billy King. Humphries is one of those players who was a sleeper last year but could be a slight bust this season if he suffers a letdown. He should certainly be targeted beginning in the middle rounds of Fantasy drafts. We believe he fits inside the top 30 Fantasy forwards in the league. (Updated 12/19/11)
