News: Detroit forward Corey Maggette will not rejoin the Pistons' rotation going forward, despite the trade that sent Tayshaun Prince out of town. Maggette has not played since Dec. 15.
Analysis: Maggette couldn't even get minutes when the team's roster was depleted after the trade and before the pieces they received in return came to town. He's not seeing minutes now and he is very unlikely to see them again as he's talked about retiring after the season. Maggette has almost zero Fantasy value remaining.
News: Pistons forward Corey Maggette stayed glued to the bench Wednesday against the Pistons, despite the pre-game trade of Tayshaun Prince that left the Pistons shallow as small forward. Maggette has not seen the floor in any of the last 20 games.
Analysis: The Pistons seem to have very little interest in playing Maggette this season, especially since he could not even find the floor after a trade that left them with few options on the wing. It looks like Maggette might go a long time before seeing the floor again, so Fantasy owners in all formats should continue to ignore him. Don’t expect the trade to change his value.
News: Pistons forward Corey Maggette was once again left on the bench during Friday's contest against the Heat. Maggette, who signed with Detroit in the offseason, has now earned a DNP-coach's decision in 17 straight games.
Analysis: Maggette remains on the outside looking in of coach Lawrence Frank's rotation as the veteran hasn't seen the court in over a month. Maggette said entering the season that this may end up being his last year playing and based on how things have gone in Detroit thus far, it wouldn't come as a shock at this point. Fantasy owners should continue to ignore Maggette in all formats as long as the Pistons continue too.
News: Pistons small forward Corey Maggette was not active for Friday's game against the Wizards. According to the team's official website, Maggette has lost his rotation spot to Austin Daye.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging just 5.3 points in 18 games this season and has seen just under 15 minutes per contest. He has been a viable option in Fantasy for much of his career but it looks as though that run could be coming to an end. Continue to ignore the 33-year-old in the majority of Fantasy formats at this point.
News: Pistons forward Corey Maggette was once again not much of a factor in Detroit's contest against the Nuggets Tuesday night. Maggette finished with six points in the 101-94 defeat on 2 of 4 shooting from the field. He made just two of his four free-throw attempts and also added two rebounds and one assist to his stat line while logging 16 minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Maggette has been one of the last players off coach Lawrence Frank's bench in the early part of the season and is averaging just 5.4 points on 39 percent shooting thus far. He is averaging just 14 minutes over his last five games and should not be active in any formats at this point in the season.
News: Pistons forward Corey Maggette was a non-factor yet again Saturday against the Mavericks, as he scored just four points in 11 minutes in a 92-77 loss. Maggette shot 2 of 6 from the field and failed to get to the free-throw line in the game. He added no other statistics.
Analysis: Maggette was once one of the most skilled scorers in the game, well-known for his ability to draw fouls at a high rate. Unfortunately, he has seen such a reduced role this season for Detroit that he has been unable to make an impact. If Maggette is not scoring, there is not much he does to bring value to Fantasy owners. He is averaging 5.6 points per game, and should not be relied upon in any Fantasy formats.
News: After missing the first eight games due to a calf injury, Pistons forward Corey Maggette made his season debut Wednesday night against the 76ers. He scored nine points in 22 minutes off the bench in the 94-76 win. He went 2 for 3 from the floor, making his lone attempt from downtown, and converted all four of his free throws. Maggette also chipped in with three assists and two rebounds in the victory.
Analysis: Detroit picked up its first win of the season in Maggette's debut and it looks as though he should have a decent role off the bench. The 33-year-old will likely be counted on for scoring in the second unit so keep an eye on how he does going forward. Maggette should be left for the deepest of Fantasy formats at this point, however.
News: Detroit small forward Corey Maggette (calf) will be active for the first time this season Wednesday in Philadelphia, reports the team's official site. Maggette has returned from a calf injury that had kept him out all season to this point.
Analysis: Maggette's role for the Pistons is yet undetermined. The team needs scoring help and Maggette can certainly provide that when he's right. Still, the 33-year-old hasn't been a consistent Fantasy option in some time so Fantasy owners shouldn't get too excited he's ready to play. He has low-end Fantasy value for now.
News: Detroit small forward Corey Maggette (calf) told Pistons radio host Matt Dery Monday that he is feeling good. Maggette hopes to practice Tuesday and could be cleared to play Wednesday at Philadelphia. The 33-year-old Maggette hasn't played this season.
Analysis: It sounds like Maggette may get back in action during Week 3 (Nov. 12-18), though you can never be too sure with the injury-prone veteran. He's going to need some time to work himself back into playing shape and then will have to rejoin the rotation for the Pistons, who are starved of significant scoring options right now. He could gain low-end value upon his return so stay tuned to that developing situation.
News: Detroit small forward Corey Maggette, who has been out all year with an injured calf, was able to run for the first time since his injury Wednesday, reports MLive.com. That said, Maggette doesn't expect to play before next week. "It's more the explosion," Maggette explained. Maggette has yet to practice since hurting himself.
Analysis: Maggette may be able to return to action sometime next week but we doubt he'll be at full strength. He's going to need some time to work himself back into playing shape and then will have to rejoin the rotation for the Pistons, who are starved of significant scoring options right now. The 32-year-old could help the Pistons in scoring, but his penchant for injuries keeps him a low-end option only in deeper Fantasy formats.
News: Pistons forward Corey Maggette has yet to participate in a full-contact practice since suffering a strained left calf more than two weeks ago and there remains no timetable for his return to game action, the Detroit Free Press reports. "He's just trying (to) get healthy and comfortable in a game situation; he feels comfortable exploding off that leg and his calf feels right," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said Sunday.
Analysis: Maggette said he is making progress with his calf issue, but the oft-injured veteran has yet to appear in any of Detroit's three games this season. His absence has continued a troubling trend for Maggette as he's managed more than 70 games just three times in his 13-year career. The 32-year-old could help the Pistons in scoring, but his penchant for injuries keeps him a low-end option only in deeper Fantasy formats.
News: Pistons small forward Corey Maggette (calf) will miss his second straight game to start the season Friday at Phoenix, reports the Detroit Free Press. Maggette is hoping to return at some point next week.
Analysis: Maggette is eyeing a return to action next week but we expect he'll be dealing with injuries just about all season. Maggette has missed at least 12 games in each season since 2006-07, including 34 last year. Maggette was once a dynamic scorer, but it remains to be seen whether he still has that burst. His role on the Pistons is likely to be limited, so Fantasy owners should not be too concerned. Maggette is more of a low-end Fantasy option in deeper leagues, when healthy.
News: Pistons guard Corey Maggette is making progress with his calf injury, but he will not suit up for Wednesday’s season opener against the Rockets. Maggette took part in shootaround and looks to be close to game shape, according to NBA.com. He will likely make his season debut during the Pistons’ six-game road trip, beginning Friday in Phoenix.
Analysis: Maggette missed the final three games of the preseason, and he is likely to deal with nagging injuries all season long. Maggette has missed at least 12 games in each season since 2006-07, including 34 last year. Maggette was once a dynamic scorer, but it remains to be seen whether he still has that burst. His role on the Pistons is likely to be limited, so Fantasy owners should not be too concerned. Maggette is more of a low-end Fantasy option in deeper leagues, when healthy.
News: Detroit small forward Corey Maggette (strained calf) is day to day for the Pistons heading into the beginning of the regular season, reports MLive.com Tuesday. The Pistons open the season Wednesday against Houston and Maggette is questionable to play in the opener.
Analysis: Maggette sat out the final three preseason games and is now a slight question mark for the first week of the regular season. Maggette has been constantly injured over the last few seasons and only managed 32 games last year. It looks like it could be more of the same this year. He was traded to Detroit in the offseason after averaging 15 points and 3.9 rebounds for Charlotte last season but is no longer the Fantasy option he once was. Maggette should be considered as more of an option for deeper Fantasy formats, when healthy.
News: The Pistons announced Tuesday that an MRI on forward Corey Maggette's left calf showed a slight pull. There is no timetable for his return.
Analysis: Maggette could miss the season opener next week due to this calf issue so keep an eye on his progress going forward. He was traded to Detroit in the offseason after averaging 15 points and 3.9 rebounds for Charlotte last season but is no longer the Fantasy option he once was. Maggette should be considered as more of an option for deeper Fantasy formats, when healthy.
News: Detroit forward Corey Maggette is expected to undergo an MRI on his strained left calf once the swelling subsides, reports the Detroit Free Press Saturday. Little is known to the severity of the injury and the MRI is being called just a precautionary test.
Analysis: Maggette has a long history of injuries so we know not to take any MRI he takes lightly. This calf issue could definitely hurt Maggette's draft value, even if the MRI comes back OK. Maggette is coming off another injury-plagued season in which he missed 34 games with a variety of ailments. However, he did average a respectable 15.0 points and 3.9 rebounds while seeing 27 minutes per contest, despite shooting 37 percent from the field when he was healthy. Maggette has proved he can be a viable option in most formats when healthy, making him worthy of a late-round pick in most formats if that is the case on Draft Day.
News: Pistons forward Corey Maggette (strained Achilles, knee surgery, back) told reporters that he is ready to participate fully when camp begins Tuesday. However, coach Lawrence Frank said he would monitor Maggette's status on a daily basis and limit his participation if he shows any ill-effects from his injuries.
Analysis: Maggette is coming off another injury-plagued season in which he missed 34 games with a variety of ailments. However, he did average a respectable 15.0 points and 3.9 rebounds while seeing 27 minutes per contest, despite shooting 37 percent from the field when he was healthy. While we would expect Maggette to get his shooting percentage up closer to his career average (45.4 percent), the 33-year-old's best days appear to be behind him. He will have to compete with Tayshaun Prince, Austin Daye and Jonas Jerebko for playing time, which could lead to a decrease in his minutes. Still, Maggette has proved he can more than be a viable option in most formats when healthy, making him worthy of a late-round pick in most formats if that is the case on Draft Day.
News: In a trade of toxic contracts, the Bobcats and Pistons agreed to swap Ben Gordon for Maggette, with Charlotte acquiring Gordon as well as a future first-round draft pick while Maggette will head to Detroit for the final year of his contract.
Analysis: Maggette is coming off a season in which he averaged 15.0 points per game in just 27.5 minutes per game, though he did miss 34 games with a variety of leg issues. He turns 33 years old during the upcoming season, so his best days are likely ahead of him. He has scored in the high-teens in the past, as recently as three seasons ago, so he has clear Fantasy upside. He will likely post similar numbers for the Pistons this season, so if he proves healthy, he will be worth a late-middle round selection on Draft Day.
News: Yahoo.com is reporting that Bobcats forward Corey Maggette is expected to be healthy in time for training camp, after dealing with an Achilles strain last season. He will also undergo a reportedly minor knee surgery this offseason to clean up loose particles, however neither issue is expected to be one that lingers into the new season.
Analysis: Maggette’s future with the Bobcats is up in the air, as he is a veteran on a rebuilding team who may want to cut ties with him in the offseason. If he returns to Charlotte, he will almost certainly remain one of the team’s top offensive options, though the team might draft another offensive-minded wing player with the No. 2 selection in the Draft. He has $10.9 million remaining on his contract next season, and the team could decide to move him, however if he returns to Charlotte, he would be worth a middle round selection on Draft Day.
News: The Charlotte Observer reported on Thursday that Bobcats guard Corey Maggette will miss the rest of the season with a lingering Achilles’ injury. Maggette played just 32 games this season while dealing with a number of injuries, however he did bounce back as a scorer, averaging 15.0 points per game in just 27.5 minutes per game.
Analysis: Maggette’s future with the Bobcats is up in the air, as he is a veteran on a rebuilding team who may want to cut ties with him in the offseason. If he returns to Charlotte, he will almost certainly remain one of the team’s top offensive options. The Bobcats have been one of the worst offensive teams in all of basketball this year, however Maggette was still able to put up decent numbers, and he would likely do so again next year. If the team cuts ties with him, then his Fantasy value would obviously change, however he should be targeted in the middle rounds on Draft Day either way.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette was able to return to action during Saturday night's contest against the Hawks. Maggette, who had missed the previous four games due to an Achilles injury, scored just six points in 24 minutes off the bench in the 113-93 defeat. He went 2 of 7 from the field and also added four steals, two assists and two rebounds to his stat line.
Analysis: Maggette was able to return to action much quicker than anticipated, but he looked a bit off against the Hawks. Now Fantasy owners will have to monitor how coach Paul Silas decides to use the veteran moving forward as the Bobcats have decided to go start some of their younger players over the final few weeks of the season. If Maggette returns to the starting lineup owners should feel free to get him active heading into Week 16 (April 9-15). However, if he comes off the bench, Maggette's value will be more along the lines of a low-end option.
News: As expected, Bobcats forward Corey Maggette was once again held out of Friday night's contest against the Bucks due to an Achilles injury. Maggette, who dressed for the game but never entered, has now missed three straight games with his injury, although he is being considered day to day.
Analysis: The Bobcats announced on Monday that Maggette would be out at least a week but Silas came out and said he was available just one day later. However, he has yet to return to the lineup, making his original timetable of a week looking more and more likely. Keep an eye on his status moving forward. Maggette can have solid Fantasy value, when healthy.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette, who was technically active on Tuesday against the Raptors, even if he did not play, was not active for Wednesday’s matchup against the Hawks. Maggette is dealing with an Achilles’ injury.
Analysis: The Bobcats announced on Monday that Maggette would be out at least a week but Silas came out and said he was available just one day later. The fact that he was not active on Wednesday probably says more about his status moving forward, so keep an eye on the situation. Maggette can have solid Fantasy value, when healthy.
News: Charlotte small forward Corey Maggette, who has been out and expected to continue to be out with an Achilles' injury, was active for Tuesday's game at Toronto, reports the team's official site. Coach Paul Silas said that Maggette was available to play in the game, though he did not appear in the 92-87 defeat.
Analysis: The Bobcats announced on Monday that Maggette would be out at least a week but Silas came out and said he was available just one day later. Since he didn't get into the game, we're not sure what to make of Silas' words. He may have been available only in emergency. Keep an eye on his status moving forward, as Maggette can have solid Fantasy value, when healthy.
News: An MRI taken on Saturday confirmed that forward Corey Maggette has a "mild" right Achilles strain, according to the team's official website. Coach Paul Silas told reporters reporters following Charlotte's 99-88 loss to the Nuggets on Friday that Maggette will miss at least a week with his injury. He is averaging 15.4 points and 4.1 rebounds through 29 games this season.
Analysis: Nothing really new here as the MRI confirmed we already knew. Maggette will be out until at least the end of Fantasy Week 15 (April 2-8) and could possibly end up missing more time, especially with the Bobcats steamrolling toward a last-place finish. Keep an eye on his status moving forward, but this could be it for Maggette -- at least this season. The veteran can be considered a viable option in most formats when healthy.
News: Coach Paul Silas told reporters following Charlotte's 99-88 loss to the Nuggets on Friday that forward Corey Maggette will miss at least a week due to a strained right Achilles tendon. Maggette sustained the injury in the third quarter of the loss to Denver and finished with 19 points, six rebounds and four assists prior to leaving the contest.
Analysis: Tough break for Fantasy owners as Maggette will be out until at least the end of Fantasy Week 15 (April 2-8). Hopefully his latest ailment won't keep him out for too long, although there really is no reason to rush the 32-year-old back with the Bobcats steamrolling toward a last-place finish. Keep an eye on his status moving forward, but this could be it for Maggette -- at least this season. The veteran can be considered a viable option in most formats when healthy.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette left Friday night's injury against the Nuggets with an Achilles injury. Maggette sustained the injury during the second half of the 99-88 loss and was unable to return to the game. He was diagnosed with a strained right Achilles tendon and finished 19 points, six rebounds and four assists prior to leaving the contest.
Analysis: Maggette just can't seem to catch a break as the 32-year-old is hurt yet again. Hopefully his latest ailment won't keep him out for too long, although there really is no reason to rush the 32-year-old back with the Bobcats steamrolling toward a last-place finish. Keep an eye on his status moving forward. Despite all of his injuries, Maggette has been able to put up decent numbers when on the floor. Consider him a viable option in all formats, when healthy.

Maggette shot 7 for 15 from the field and hit a 3-pointer as well as going 7 of 7 from the line in the game. Maggette grabbed four rebounds in the game and chipped in with three assists and two steals.
Analysis: Maggette went 1 of 7 from the field for five points over 17 minutes in his last game against Boston on Monday. He definitely was much better on Wednesday. Maggette hasn't been playing this well of late so hopefully this is the beginning of something. As long as he can stay healthy, Maggette should be active in most Fantasy formats thanks to his scoring prowess.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette did not have one of his better games of the season during Friday night's contest against the Bucks. Maggette, who was playing with a sore back, finished with 10 points in the 112-92 defeat on 2 of 9 shooting from the field. He missed both of his attempts from behind the arc and also added four rebounds and one assist to his stat line, while logging 26 minutes of game action.
Analysis: Maggette looked uncomfortable at times on Friday night as it appeared his back was giving him some problems. While he never came out of the game, Fantasy owners may want to keep an eye on his status moving forward just to be on the safe side. Maggette can be considered a viable option in all formats when he is healthy.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette was back in the lineup for Friday night's contest against the Bucks. Maggette has been unable to practice the last few days due to a back injury.
Analysis: Maggette will give it a shot on Friday, so owners in daily formats should feel free to get him active. The veteran can be considered a viable option in all formats, when healthy.
News: The Charlotte Observer reports that Bobcats forward Corey Maggette (back) did not practice Thursday, but he hopes to play Friday against Milwaukee, which was his former team last year.
Analysis: Maggette is a quality Fantasy option when healthy, so hopefully he can return against the Bucks. Fantasy owners in daily leagues should keep an eye on his progress, but if Maggette is able to play he should be used against the Bucks.
News: The Charlotte Observer reports that Bobcats forward Corey Maggette (back, sick) missed Monday's game against Philadelphia. He sustained an apparent back injury during Saturday night's contest against the Raptors. Maggette is considered day to day for the Bobcats.
Analysis: The Bobcats have three games during Fantasy Week 13, so Maggette is now down to just two games remaining against Milwaukee and New Jersey on Thursday and Friday. Fantasy owners should use caution when setting your lineup since Maggette has been known to nurse injuries in the past. You are probably better off resting him for the upcoming scoring period.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette sustained an apparent back injury during Saturday night's contest against the Raptors. Maggette hurt his back while attempting to save a ball from going out of bounds, but was able to finish out the game. He finished with 21 points, four rebounds and three assists in the 107-103 win.
Analysis: Maggette said his back was very sore after the game, which makes him an injury risk heading into Fantasy Week 13 (March 19-25). Owners should keep an eye on his status moving forward to see if he will have to miss any time. Maggette has been one of the few bright spots for Charlotte of late, so consider the 32-year-old a viable option in most formats, when healthy.
News: Charlotte forward Corey Maggette didn't miss a game despite injuring his back on Monday. Maggette was back on the court against Houston on Wednesday and got 22 minutes of action. He shot 3 for 9 from the floor, hitting both his 3-pointers, and knocking down both his foul shots. Maggette finished with 10 points and two boards. The Bobcats would lose the game, 107-87, to the Rockets.
Analysis: Maggette got just 10 minutes of action on Monday after he was injured, but besides that outing he's been scoring in double figures. He's been limited to 22 games this year because of injuries. Maggette hasn't done much this year, but is scoring enough to warrant some Fantasy attention in deeper formats.
News: The Charlotte Observer reports Bobcats forward Corey Maggette, who injured his back Monday against the Hornets, is considered a game-time decision Wednesday at Houston.

News: The Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday that Bobcats forward Corey Maggette (back) claims he should recover quickly and shouldn't miss too much action. Maggette was injured Monday going for a steal and said he "wrenched" his back. Maggette is day to day for the Bobcats.
Analysis: Maggette has been playing over 30 minutes per game of late and is averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and half a 3-pointer per game over that stretch. He's the scorer for the Bobcats, so Fantasy owners can use him in most formats, when healthy. Maggette may have to sit a few, so owners will want to check back on his status.

Maggette finished with a season-high 29 points in the 100-84 win, on 9 of 17 shooting from the field. He went 10 for 11 at the free-throw line and also added seven rebounds and one steal, while logging 30 minutes of game action.
Analysis: Maggette continues to light up the scoreboard since his return from a knee injury and is now averaging 20.8 points over his last five contests. He is shooting 42 percent from the field over that stretch and could be poised for a very strong finish as long as he can stay healthy. Fantasy owner should make to to leave the 32-year-old active in the majority of formats, while he is playing so well.
News: After not practicing on Monday due to a knee injury, Bobcats forward Corey Maggette looked good to go on Wednesday against the Pistons. He scored a team-high 17 points and hauled in five rebounds in the 109-94 loss. He went 5 for 11 from the floor, including 1 for 3 from downtown, and made 6 of 10 free throws. Maggette also dished out two assists while playing 29 minutes.
Analysis: Maggette has played well since returning from his knee injury is starting to regain value in Fantasy. He is averaging 16.2 points three rebounds in his last five contests, and is shooting 37 percent over that span. Owners should keep an eye on his health status going forward as the 32-year-old could continue to miss practice in an effort to give him some rest. Maggette remains one of the few pure scorers on Charlotte so as long as he is active, consider him a viable option in deeper Fantasy formats.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette did not practice on Monday due to inflammation in his right knee, reports the Charlotte Observer. According to the report, Maggette will try and practice on Tuesday and is being considered questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Pistons. "Just a God-send he didn't have a torn meniscus," coach Paul Silas told the Observer on Monday night. "That's what I (initially) heard."
Analysis: There was some concern that Maggette tore a ligament in his knee and his season was over, so that fact that he just has some inflammation is good news. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his status moving forward, although if he is able to practice on Tuesday his status may be upgraded. Maggette has played well since returning from a hamstring injury, so consider the veteran a viable option in most formats, when healthy.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette had another decent scoring performance on Wednesday against the Pacers. He finished with a team-high 20 points in the 102-88 loss. He went 6 for 15 from the floor, including 1 for 2 from downtown, and made 7 of 8 free throws. Maggette also posted a rebound and an assist while playing 31 minutes.
Analysis: Maggette has looked good since returning from his hamstring injury and is supplying some decent scoring for the Bobcats. He is averaging 17.2 points with 2.4 rebounds in his previous five games, and is shooting 39 percent over that span. While he is not filling up the stat sheet of late, his scoring makes Maggette a low-end option in Fantasy at this point.
News: Bobcats forward Corey Maggette did not have his finest shooting performance on Sunday against the Pacers. He finished with 10 points on 4 of 14 shooting in the 108-73 loss. He missed his lone attempt from beyond the arc and converted 2 of 4 free throws while playing 20 minutes. Maggette also posted two rebounds in the defeat.
Analysis: Maggette had been playing well since returning from his hamstring injury but he struggled to put the ball in the basket on Sunday. He is averaging 15.6 points with 3.4 rebounds in his last five contests, and is shooting 38 percent over that span. The 32-year-old has every opportunity to take over the main-scoring role in Charlotte so keep an eye on his progress going forward. Maggette will play just once during Week 9 (Feb. 20-26) so owners in larger formats might want to look to a more reliable option.
News: Charlotte SF Corey Maggette had just two rebounds and no assists on Monday night, but was still the scoring star for the Bobcats in the loss to the Sixers. Maggette scored a team-high 22 points as he went 8 of 16 from the field. Maggette added three steals for the Bobcats in the defeat.
Analysis: Maggette finally got hot from the field in his third game since returning from an extended injury absence. He'd been a little rusty prior to Monday. Fantasy owners won't get much from Maggette outside of scoring, but that still keeps him viable in plenty of Fantasy formats.
News: After missing the previous 19 games due to a hamstring injury, Bobcats F Corey Maggette returned on Friday night against the Bulls. He scored four points while playing 13 minutes off the bench in the 95-64 loss. He went just 2 for 7 from the floor. Maggette also posted four rebounds with three turnovers in the defeat.
Analysis: Maggette had been playing well before going down with the injury but looked a little rusty on Friday. It will likely take him a few games to get back on track so keep an eye on his progress going forward. The Bobcats have been desperate for some scoring this season so as long as Maggette can play like he did earlier in the year, he will be a worthwhile add in deeper Fantasy formats.
News: The Charlotte Observer reports Bobcats forward Corey Maggette, who has been out since early January with a hamstring injury, went through a full practice Thursday. He said he is expected to return Saturday against the Clippers or Monday against the 76ers. However, coach Paul Silas said that Maggette could see limited minutes Friday against the Bulls if his hamstring responds properly.
Analysis: On Wednesday, the word was Maggette wasn't going to rush back and be cautious about his recovery. But apparently after one full practice he is ready to go. Maggette was averaging 12.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game before getting injured. It's not the best numbers of his career, but Maggette is still worth starting in deeper Fantasy formats when active. Track his progress this weekend.
News: The Charlotte Observer reports Bobcats forward Corey Maggette, who has been out since early January with a hamstring injury, is hopeful he will return before the late February All-Star break. He has been cleared for some practice activity and hasn't had a setback. However, Maggette sounds cautious about not rushing back and risking re-injuring himself.
Analysis: Maggette was averaging 12.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game before getting injured. It's not the best numbers of his career, but Maggette is still worth starting in deeper Fantasy formats when active. Keep him reserved until further notice.
News: Charlotte coach Paul Silas said he anticipates Bobcats F Corey Maggette (hamstring) to begin practicing following the team's four-game road trip that concludes next Tuesday, according to The News & Observer. Maggette has been sidelined since early January with a hamstring injury.
Analysis: While it is encouraging to hear Maggette is making some progress, the team has no definitive timetable for his return to game action. Maggette is a streaky shooter, but he has some value with Charlotte as the team seeks scorers. Fantasy owners in deeper leagues should continue to stash Maggette.
News: Charlotte SF Corey Maggette did some on-court work both on Saturday and again on Sunday in his return from a hamstring injury absence. Maggette, reports the Bobcats' official site, is "making progress" in his return. There is no clear timetable for a return, but Maggette is targeting early February.
Analysis: While it is good to hear Maggette is making some progress, the team has no real timetable for when they expect him back in games. Maggette is a streaky shooter, but should have a pretty big leash in Charlotte as they need him to score. Fantasy owners in deeper leagues should continue to stash Maggette as he will be worth using at some point this season.
News: Charlotte forward Corey Maggette won't start practicing until after the team's current four-game road trip, which ends on February 7. Maggette has played in just six games as a hamstring injury has kept him sidelined for most of the season. There is still no timetable for his return to action.
Analysis: While it is good to hear Maggette will probably start practicing after this road trip, there is no date for him to actually play in a game. Maggette is a streaky shooter, but should have a pretty big leash in Charlotte as they need him to score. Fantasy owners in deeper leagues should continue to stash Maggette as he will be worth using at some point this season.
News: Charlotte SF Corey Maggette (hamstring) still has no timetable to return to action, reports the Charlotte Observer Sunday. Maggette still cannot run or jump yet for the Bobcats. Maggette said he's happy to just "walk a little more normal."
Analysis: Maggette doesn't really sound anywhere close to returning to action for the Bobcats. Originally targeting an early February return, he might be a bit longer at this point. The streaky scorer should be stashed in deeper Fantasy leagues while he's out.
News: Charlotte F Corey Maggette is expected to miss two to four weeks of playing time after an MRI confirmed he suffered a left hamstring strain, according to the team's official website. Maggette sustained the injury against New York on Wednesday and had an MRI taken the next day. He is averaging just 12.2 points per game in six outings this season. Bobcats F Derrick Brown is expected to start in Maggette's place.
Analysis: Maggette has struggled early in the season and has failed to shoot better than 40 percent from the field in each of his six games this year. The 32-year-old is certainly known to be a streaky scorer and could take some time adjusting to his third team in the past three seasons. The latest setback certainly won't help his status of being injury-prone and Fantasy owners should reserve him only in deeper formats for now.
News: Bobcats F Corey Maggette is scheduled to have an MRI on his left hamstring in Charlotte on Thursday. Maggette suffered a strained hamstring during the Bobcats' victory over New York on Wednesday and left the game. He finished with 12 points in 22 minutes before departing.
Analysis: Maggette has struggled early in the season and has failed to shoot better than 40 percent from the field in each of his six games this year. The 32-year-old is certainly known to be a streaky scorer and could take some time adjusting to his third team in the past three seasons. Maggette is averaging just 12.2 points per game in the young campaign. Fantasy owners should view him as a worthwhile option only in deeper formats.
News: Charlotte SF Corey Maggette strained his left hamstring during Wednesday's win over the Knicks. Maggette played 22 minutes before leaving and shot just 4 of 12 from the field with a 3-pointer for 12 points. Maggette added four assists, three rebounds and a steal in the contest. He's considered day to day for the Bobcats.
Analysis: Maggette is shooting less than 30 percent from the field this season and has just had a horrendous start to the year. He's had a couple 20-point efforts, but hasn't been able to get anything going consistently. There is still plenty of time for him to get it going, but injuries won't help matters. Only start him in deeper formats for the time being.
News: It had been a slow start to the season for Bobcats G Corey Maggette , as he shot just seven-of-25 through his first two games of the year before scoring 20 in a losing effort to the Magic on Friday night. Though the Bobcats did fall 100-79, Maggette shot six-of-15 from the field and five-of-six from the free-throw line while grabbing seven assists to get on track.
Analysis: It was Maggette’s first game with the sort of production that was expected from him when the Bobcats acquired him in a trade before the season. He had struggled badly prior to Friday night, so it’s good to see him get back on track. He struggled mightily last season as well, averaging just 12 points per game with the Bucks. It is encouraging to see him produce like this, even if it came on just 40 percent shooting. You can feel safe keeping Maggette in your Fantasy lineup moving forward, as he looks like he’s found his way.
News: Bobcats F Corey Maggette made his debut in Charlotte’s preseason closing 92-75 loss to Atlanta on Thursday. He was in fine form, shooting five of 10 from the field for 18 points, while adding five rebounds. He connected on his lone three-point attempt and was seven of 10 from the free-throw line as well.
Analysis: Maggette is going to be asked to carry the load for the Bobcats, who finished 29th out of 30 teams in scoring last season. Maggette did his job, but he was the only player to score in double figures in the loss. That could be a consistent theme for the Bobcats this season, and while it certainly won’t make for a good recipe for winning games, it could make Maggette a fine Fantasy option. Owners should consider him a sleeper worthy of a mid-round pick on Draft Day in all Fantasy formats.
News: Charlotte SF Corey Maggette is going to be asked to be a leader this season for the Bobcats. Coach Paul Silas said he expects Maggette to be the team's first offensive option and also a vocal veteran presence. Silas asked Maggette if he could score 20 points per game this season, reports the Charlotte Observer. “That’s no problem – I can still do that,” said Maggette, entering his 13th NBA season. “Getting the points is what I do.”
Analysis: Maggette got to Charlotte on Sunday to start preparing for the season. It has been six years since Maggette has averaged 20 points per game in a season. While we aren't sure he'll get to that level, Maggette can still be a very productive Fantasy option. Charlotte doesn't have a lot of other options offensively, so it's likely that Silas will stick with his word regarding Maggette, something that could make Maggette a much more intriguing Fantasy option than he would appear. We consider him a good sleeper option and a mid-round Draft pick in all Fantasy formats.
News: Charlotte F Corey Maggette has earned the confidence of his new head coach Paul Silas heading into the 2011-12 season. After a rough sole season with Milwaukee where he saw his lowest points and minutes per game numbers since his second season in the league, The Charlotte Observe reports that Silas expects Maggette to be the go-to guy in the offense. "He can be a 20-point scorer. He’s going to be the focal point of our offense," Silas said about Maggette. "We’re going to rely on him to get it done for us, and he can."
Analysis: On a per-minute basis, Maggette's production in 2010-11 was almost exactly in line with his career norms, as he scored 20.7 points, grabbed 6.2 rebounds, and dished out 2.2 assists per 36 minutes, all within a single point of his career rates. Milwaukee was a defensive-minded team, and Maggette couldn't mesh with them, falling out of favor and losing his rotation spot as the season went on. Still, it's encouraging that the precipitous drop in production can be almost entirely be written off as a drop in opportunities and playing time. Charlotte doesn't have a lot of other options offensively, so it's likely that Silas will stick with his word regarding Maggette, something that could make Maggette a much more intriguing Fantasy option than he would appear. We consider him a good sleeper option and a mid-round Draft pick in all Fantasy formats.
News: Bobcats coach Paul Silas said Tuesday he met with Corey Maggette and told him he'll start at small forward next season. Maggette was traded to Charlotte as part of the Stephen Jackson deal with Milwaukee.
Analysis: The Bobcats need Maggette to start and provide offense with Jackson gone. He has the chance for increased Fantasy value following this trade since he will likely be permitted to shoot at will, and going back to the North Carolina region should help the former Duke standout. We consider Maggette a sleeper in 2011-12, and he should be drafted with a mid-round pick in all Fantasy leagues.
News: The Bobcats agreed to send top scorer Stephen Jackson to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-way trade involving the Sacramento Kings that gave Charlotte two picks in the top nine of the NBA draft. The Bucks also got Shaun Livingston, Beno Udrih and the rights to the No. 19 pick Tobias Harris. Charlotte obtained the rights to the No. 7 selection Bismack Biyombo and forward Corey Maggette. The Kings will get guard John Salmons from Milwaukee and the rights to BYU guard Jimmer Fredette, who was selected 10th by the Bucks.
Analysis: Maggette played in 67 games for the Bucks in the 2010-11 season -- 18 as a starter and 49 coming off the bench. He wasn't 100 percent the entire year as he dealt with a sore right knee, hurt his back and suffered a concussion. He didn't have a true role on the team and had trouble fitting in. Now that he's in Charlotte, Maggette could take over Jackson's position or perhaps come off the bench as the sixth-man. Maggette converted 271 of his 325 foul shots (83.4 percent) on the year. He finished the season averaging 12.0 points, 3.6 boards and 1.3 assists per outing. While he is a proven scorer in the NBA, Maggette is a risky option for Fantasy owners. Consider him a late-round pick on Draft Day, with an upside.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette played in 67 games for the Bucks in the 2010-11 season -- 18 as a starter and 49 coming off the bench. He wasn't 100 percent the entire year as he dealt with a sore right knee, hurt his back and suffered a concussion. But despite it all he was still benched at times by coach Scott Skiles as he tried to figure out how the veteran fit into the team's plans. Maggette still has two years and $21 million left on his contract. "What I appreciate about Corey so very much is he has been a pro on the floor and off the floor, from Day 1," Bucks general manager John Hammond told the Journal Sentinel. "He could have handled the situation a lot differently than he did, but chose to remain a guy that came to work every day. From a production standpoint, Corey didn't have the kind of year he's had in the past and he'd like to have. We acquired Corey because of our inability to get to the free throw line, and he did help us with that." Maggette converted 271 of his 325 foul shots (83.4 percent) on the year.
Analysis: Maggette had a very roller-coaster year, but he did what he was asked to do. It may have been a rough year for him, but it could have been worse. He finished the season averaging 12.0 points, 3.6 boards and 1.3 assists per outing. "Overall, I know the season was disappointing for him. Corey has always been a worker; he knows no other way. I think he can (be a fit)," Hammond added. "I have to believe moving forward that Corey Maggette can be an effective part of this team." That's a good sign heading into 2011-12, but it is too early to tell. While he is a proven scorer in the NBA, Maggette is a risky option for Fantasy owners. Consider him a late-round pick on Draft Day, with an upside.
News: After playing just two minutes in a seven game stretch to end March, Bucks forward Corey Maggette has found his way back into the rotation in the last week. The trend continued Wednesday against the Heat, when he saw 20 minutes of playing time off of the bench. Maggette made the most of his opportunity, scoring 14 points on 4 of 7 shooting from the floor and a perfect 6 of 6 from the line. He added four rebounds and three assists in the win.
Analysis: Maggette has always had the ability to score the basketball, but the return of Drew Gooden and Michael Redd to the lineup after they missed most of the season to injury really eliminated the former Duke star from the lineup. He admitted that it was hard to do, but he stayed positive during the process. Maggette has seen at least 16 minutes of playing time in each of the last four games, and 20-plus in three of them. Still, now that the Bucks are officially out of playoff contention despite the win, coach Scott Brooks may opt for youth down the stretch. Monitor his playing time moving forward just to be sure. When healthy and in the lineup, Maggette is a low-end option in any format because of his ability to put points on the board.
News: With Drew Gooden and Michael Redd back in the lineup for the Bucks, forward Corey Maggette seems to be the odd man out of coach Scott Skiles rotation down the stretch. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that he has played a total of two minutes over the last seven games, six of which he didn't play at all (DNP-CD). Maggette is trying his best to stay positive in the tough situation. "I just wish I could help them out," he said. "I'm just staying positive for them. I think it's up to me being a veteran guy to set an example. If I'm not playing, you have to be professional. That's the way I was taught." The coach hasn't said that any rotation is permanent, however, and that every player is in the mix for playing time. "We're trying to find any combinations we can find that we're having success with," Skiles said. "I'm not ruling anybody out, absolutely."
Analysis: Maggette has always been a scorer in his NBA career, but now he's been relegated to a savvy veteran on the bench role. "From going from a starter-caliber guy and averaging 20 points for the last nine or 10 years, and having DNPs, that's the hardest part," he said. Still, Maggette has a chance to get back on the floor before the season comes to a close and Fantasy owners know what he can do with the opportunity. The only problem is that there is little certainty as to when and in what capacity Maggette will see some run. As odd as it is, the former Duke standout should not be considered a safe play in any format moving forward.
News: For the second straight game Sunday against the Knicks, Bucks forward Corey Maggette didn't get into the game. The team has not reported any injury to the swingman, so there is a chance he is out of the rotation for now.
Analysis: Maggette has been dealing with some knee issues this season, and it kept him out of three straight games earlier in the month. Unless the injury is bothering him again, the Bucks are keeping him out of the rotation. Keep an eye on the issue to see if better news comes out. If Maggette continues to sit, Fantasy owners might want to consider ditching the Duke product.
News: Bucks forward Corey Maggette, who missed the previous three games with a knee injury, was back on the court for Sunday's 87-56 loss to the Celtics. Maggette finished with just three points in the contest and missed all three of his shot attempts from the field. He did all of his scoring at the free-throw line and also finished with one rebound while logging seven minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Maggette was back on the floor Sunday, although didn't play all that well in his return. Still, on the night were the Bucks scored a season-low 56 points, no one on Indiana was all that impressive. More importantly is the fact that he appears to be finally be over his knee injury, which means he should be available to play during the upcoming scoring period. The Bucks play four times during Fantasy Week 21 (March 14-20) against the Hawks, Magic, Nets and Knicks. Continue to view Maggette as a solid low-end Fantasy option, when healthy.
News: After receiving a DNP though he was active Saturday, NBA.com reports Bucks forward Corey Maggette is set to return to the lineup Sunday against the Celtics. He missed the last two games because of a sprained knee.
Analysis: Maggette got some extra rest Saturday as coach Scott Skiles kept him out of the lineup though he was dressed, so he should be ready to go after not playing in the team's last three games. The seasoned veteran is averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds on the season and can be considered a low-end Fantasy option, when healthy.
News: Bucks forward Corey Maggette was active for Saturday's game against the Sixers but didn't play in the 102-74 win over the Sixers. Maggette had been inactive for the Bucks last two games with a knee injury. He was listed as DNP due to a coach's decision on the box score.
Analysis: The fact that Maggette was active for the first time in two games seems to indicate that he is now healthy, although the fact that he didn't play on Saturday does raise few red flags. Fantasy owners should continue to monitor his status moving forward for more updates on the situation as they become available. The seasoned veteran is averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds on the season and can be considered a low-end Fantasy option, when healthy.
News: Bucks forward Corey Maggette did not play in Wednesday's game against the Wizards because of a knee injury. Maggette suffered the injury in Sunday's game against Boston. He is being considered day to day.
Analysis: Maggette has a sore right knee, although the extent of the injury has not been made available. Still, Fantasy owners in daily leagues should continue to monitor his status moving forward. The seasoned veteran is averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds on the season and can be considered a low-end Fantasy option, when healthy.
News: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Bucks F Corey Maggette (knee) was ruled out for Wednesday's game in Washington. Maggette suffered a knee injury in Sunday's game against Boston.
Analysis: Maggette should be treated as day-to-day. The extent of the injury has not been made available despite the fact he was scheduled for an MRI on Monday. The team lists him out with a "sore right knee." He should be held out of all weekly and daily leagues until further notice. He is averaging just 22.7 minutes per game this season for Milwaukee, but has been a very efficient scorer and is averaging around 13 points per game.
News: The Racine Journal-Times reports that Bucks F Corey Maggette suffered an injury to his right knee. The team scheduled an MRI for him on Monday and the extent of the injury was not immediately known. Maggette played just 12 minutes in Sunday's game against Boston.
Analysis: There was no injury news on Maggette following Sunday's game, but this explains the lack in playing time. He is averaging just 22.7 minutes per game this season for Milwaukee, but has been a very efficient scorer and is averaging around 13 points per game. This news makes him too risky to trust for Fantasy Week 20 (March 7-13), however.
News: Milwaukee SF Corey Maggette returned from his lower back injury on Tuesday night against Minnesota. Maggette sure looked healthy as he finished the game with 20 points for the Bucks off the bench over 26 minutes. Maggette shot 7 of 17 from the field but missed all four 3-pointers he took. He added six rebounds and two assists.
Analysis: Maggette has scored over 20 points in two of the team's last five games. He didn't play in one of those games and totaled 24 in the other two. He's a little inconsistent, but he's also been dealing with injuries. A nagging back injury is never good for a shooter and Maggette could struggling at times going forward. That said, he's averaging 16.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game over his last 10 contests and that makes him viable in deeper leagues across the board.
News: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Bucks F Corey Maggette was able to practice fully on Monday. He hurt his lower back last week. "I was able to get a lot of treatment on my back and it helped out a whole lot," said Maggette, who was in Los Angeles for the break. "It's decent right now. It's not 100%."
Analysis: Maggette has been cleared to play on Monday night against Minnesota. However, with Carlos Delfino and John Salmons also healthy we expect inconsistent production ahead for Maggette. Consider him merely a low-end play in Fantasy for now.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette came off the bench to score 16 points on Wednesday against Denver. Maggette, who missed the Bucks' last game with a strained lower back, logged 25 minutes of court time against the Nuggets. He shot 4 for 12 from the field -- going 1 for 3 from beyond the 3-point arc -- and converting 7 of his 9 freebies at the charity stripe. The veteran added five rebounds and two assists for the Bucks. Despite his efforts, Milwaukee would lose to Denver 87-94.
Analysis: Milwaukee continues to deal with a myriad of injuries -- Maggette being one of them. The veteran is getting around 23 minutes a game this season for the Bucks, which is crazy because there are times when he takes over the game for them. Then in other outings he'll lay an egg and struggle to find the range. The one thing that remains a constant is his ability to get to the foul line, where he is an 83.1 percent shooter this year. As frustrating as owning Maggette can be, he is a viable forward option in deeper category-based Fantasy leagues. Continue to monitor his health and the health of his teammates, as that will alter his value on a game-to-game basis.
News: The Bucks got back the services of forward Corey Maggette on Wednesday just before the All-Star break. Maggette, who missed Monday's game and left Saturday's after five minutes, was dealing with a strained lower back.
Analysis: The Bucks were without Ersan Ilyasova on Wednesday but Maggette returned to action as the team tries to get healthy. Carlos Delfino was awesome with Maggette out and should continue to get big minutes. Fantasy owners will want to monitor how the two coexist going forward. Now that Maggette is healthy, he can be active in deeper Fantasy leagues once again.
News: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Corey Maggette "made some progress" with his lower back strain and might be able to return on Wednesday night against Denver. Maggette missed Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Maggette is still day-to-day and is far from a guarantee to return. When he does return, he could be looking at a split role with Carlos Delfino and is a player we recommend reserving through the All-Star break and until he can prove healthy and productive again.
News: Bucks SF Corey Maggette missed Monday's game against the Clippers with a back injury, reports the team's official site. Milwaukee started Carlos Delfino against Los Angeles. Maggette is considered day to day after suffering the injury in a game on Saturday.
Analysis: Maggette played just six minutes Saturday as he injured his back and he could end up resting until after the All-Star break. He'd been playing well prior to suffering the back injury as he's averaging 17.5 points per game over his last 10 contests with 4.5 rebounds. When healthy, Maggette is still a viable option in most deeper Fantasy leagues thanks to his ability to put the ball in the basket.
News: Bucks forward Corey Maggette suffered an apparent back injury in Saturday's contest against the Pacers. Maggette began experiencing lower back pain early in the game and left in the first quarter. He did not return. Maggette scored eight points on 3 of 7 shooting from the field prior to leaving and is listed as day to day.
Analysis: Maggette's back began to tighten up on him early during Friday's contest, which forced him out of the game. He likely will be re-evaluated on Sunday, so Fantasy owners should continue to monitor the situation to see what the extent of his injury is. Maggette has been playing well of late. He is averaging 14.2 points and 4.2 rebounds over his last five contests and is shooting 49 percent from the field over that stretch. He can be considered a low-end Fantasy option, when healthy and producing.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette has been a solid scorer since the calendar turned over to 2011, averaging better than 15 points per game. He continued his solid play in Friday's game against the Grizzlies, especially in the third quarter, hitting 6 of 9 in the period. 4 of 6 shots were good from outside the arc in that window, as he scored 20 points to help the Bucks extend their lead to as many as 11 before the Grizzlies battled back and eventually won. "When you hit the first one, then you hit the second one, then the third one is kind like a heat check, and you go from there," Maggette said. "The team was putting me in position to make shots." Maggette finished with 22 points on 6 of 12 shooting to go along with two rebounds in 30 minutes of playing time.
Analysis: Maggette has been scoring the ball well, failing to reach double figures just five times since 2011 began after scoring in single digits six times in December alone. He not only scores well -- shooting above 50 percent in February -- but he chips in decent assists and rebound numbers for his position. He's playing well and Fantasy owners should take notice. Maggette is a solid forward option in deeper category-based leagues, but is worth using in more than the 53 percent of leagues he's starting in right now.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette has done his part on the offensive end with the Bucks dealing with a myriad of injuries. He shot 8 for 14 from the field and converted 5 of his 7 foul shots on Thursday night against the Warriors. He scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, keeping the Bucks close. Maggette finished with 21 points, a steal and two assists. Milwaukee would not be able to hold on for the win though as Golden State went on to get the victory, 100-94.
Analysis: Maggette gets to the foul line a lot, which gives him more value in category-based formats. Over his last five games, Maggette is averaging 20.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per outing. During that span he's shooting 48.5 percent from the field and has gone 34 for 40 at the charity stripe. He's playing well and Fantasy owners should take notice. Maggette is a solid forward option in deeper category-based leagues, but is worth using in more than the 54 percent of leagues he's starting in right now.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette posted a season-high 29 points on Friday against Toronto. He shot 10 for 21 from the field -- connecting on 1 of his 3 attempts from behind the 3-point arc -- and converting 80 percent of his foul shots. The veteran also had 11 rebounds and five assists, giving him his first double-double of the year. The Bucks would beat the Raptors behind Maggette's performance, 116-110.
Analysis: Maggette has been playing well lately, minus one game. Over his last five outing he's scored in double figures four times and more than 20 points three times. He's averaging 17.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists over that span. The veteran has been shooting at a high percentage in all categories too, which helps out Fantasy owners in category-based formats. He's shooting 50 percent from the field, downtown and has gone 23 for 29 at the charity stripe. Maggette has been playing with an injured hand recently too, but it doesn't seem to be bothering his shot. As long as he keeps this up, Fantasy owners should consider him a viable option in deeper leagues heading into Week 15 (Jan. 31-Feb. 6).
News: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Bucks SF Corey Maggette was bothered Saturday night against the Grizzlies by a sore hand. "I was a little less aggressive to shoot because I banged my hand up yesterday," Maggette said after the loss. "I really just tried to facilitate and do some other things to help the team. It was hurting to shoot the ball and I was leery about it. I had a lot of shots I passed up tonight. But I kept pushing away and thought I could do some other things."
Analysis: An X-ray on Maggette's hand showed no major structural damage, so this injury should take care of itself over the next week or two. The fact it didn't stop him from tying his season high with eight rebounds on Saturday is also good news. Maggette remains worth a look in deeper Fantasy formats.
News: Bucks coach Scott Skiles hinted that he might tinker with his lineup after Milwaukee’s 95-94 loss in Philadelphia on Friday, and he did just that on Monday. Corey Maggette replaced Luc Mbah a Moute in Milwaukee’s starting five at Houston. “It’s no reflection on Luc. We got to do something,” Skiles told NBA.com. “We’re not getting off to good starts. We’re going to try to find something that works to not be down 15-6 to start a game and shooting 35 percent.” Maggette led the Bucks in scoring on Monday with 25 points in 38 minutes, shooting 11 of 18.
Analysis: Maggette left the game to go to the locker room momentarily, but returned and played on without any effects of any type of injury. He provides the Milwaukee first unit with a much better scoring punch and is a capable mid-teens scorer when getting this type of opportunity. For that reason, he makes for a solid addition off the waiver wire. Just be aware that the Bucks rotation is far from set.

News: After shooting a combined 8 for 21(38 percent) from the field over his last two games, Bucks forward Corey Maggette got back on track in Friday night's 95-94 loss to the Sixers. Maggette scored a team-high 16 points in the loss on 7 of 10 shooting from the floor. He made both of his free-throws and finished with four rebounds, three assists and a block in 29 minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Maggette was able to back on track after a rough couple of shooting nights, but continues to struggle with his consistency. He is averaging just 10.8 points on the season and has remained on the bench despite outcries by many to start him. Maggette has only been seeing around 20 minutes a game in the month of January, which makes it tough to trust him in most formats. Continue to view him as a low-end Fantasy option heading into Week 13 (Jan. 17-23).
News: Bucks SF Corey Maggette could stick in the starting lineup going forward, regardless of the health of Andrew Bogut (virus), reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel on Sunday. "It's not impossible that we continue to start him," coach Scott Skiles said. "I'm not going to just judge it on one game. He's the one guy on our whole roster that hasn't gotten an opportunity to be in the starting lineup and do something. Some of it was because in exhibition he was injured the whole time."
Analysis: The former Duke standout and scoring machine dropped 21 points in the loss to Orlando on Saturday, just one game after playing just seven minutes against Miami. Fantasy owners know Maggette can score. With more minutes as a starter, it might be time to get Maggette in your lineup in deeper formats. The Bucks do play a poor three road-game schedule in Week 12 (Jan. 10-16), however.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette tallied 20 points and six rebounds in the Bucks' 115-92 victory over New Jersey on Saturday night. Maggette connected on just 5 of 9 attempts from the field but sank 10 of 11 at the free-throw line to reach 20-plus points for the second time in his last three games. It was the second time this season he has netted 10 free throws in a game and he is now 32 for his last 41 from the charity stripe. Maggette failed to net his lone 3-point attempt and committed three turnovers as Milwaukee reached 100 points for the first time in its last 12 games.
Analysis: Maggette has been woefully inconsistent from the field this season and recorded more than 50 percent of his shots for the second time in last six games. The veteran swingman has also been plagued by turnovers recently and has now posted 16 in his last six games as the Bucks have labored to a 14-21 record this season. Maggette played 27 minutes off the bench Saturday but will not see much more than that if he cannot hang onto the ball. Consider him a low-end Fantasy option at forward only in deeper leagues.
News: Bucks SF Corey Maggette continues to struggle for Milwaukee and he gave a reason on Saturday, reports Hoopsworld.com. "It's definitely a work in progress," said Maggette. "I'm still not able to shoot on balance...without the proper balance you can't make shots. This year's been my lowest shooting percentage ever because of that." Maggette claims he's not 100 percent healthy but hopes to get back to at least "95 percent" health at some point this year.
Analysis: Maggette knows how to score and that is why he's got games of 21 and 15 points over his last five games. He's averaging just 10.8 PPG over that stretch, however, and he's shooting very poorly on the season. Fantasy owners should run with the notion that he's less than 100 percent and reserve him in most 10- and 12-team Fantasy leagues.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette logged 18 minutes on Tuesday night against Miami. He took just four shots from the field, making one of them. He'd score seven points -- by hitting 5 of 6 foul shots -- and grabbed three rebounds. Maggette would add an assist, but contribute little else in the Bucks' 101-89 loss to the Heat.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging 9.3 points, 1.0 assist and 3.8 boards over his last four games. He suffered a concussion in December, and hasn't played particularly well since returning. Maggette is one of those players that can produce off the bench, but goes through these long droughts when he can't get on track. For that reason Fantasy owners should view Maggette as low-end option in deeper leagues.
News: Bucks guard Corey Maggette was finally able to make his return from a concussion on Monday night against Atlanta. He missed the last three games but looked good in practice on Sunday as Scott Skiles declared him ready to play. He saw 18 minutes and only attempted one shot, hitting that shot. Maggette scored six points as he got to the line five times and hit four of them. He added two rebounds in the performance.
Analysis: Maggette was not playing well prior to suffering the concussion and is averaging just 10.7 points per game on the year over 19 minutes per night. Fantasy owners should let him prove viable again on the court before activating him in Fantasy.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette hit the floor hard Saturday against Utah and according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, he did not make the team's three game road trip for this week. He's listed on the injury report as having concussive symptoms.
Analysis: Maggette hasn't been playing well lately as he's shot 0 for 6 over his last two games. He's also got just three boards, one steal and one assist in those outings. The veteran has seen his minutes decrease to the point where he's getting just 10 minutes per contest. There is a chance he could catch up to the team on their three-game road trip, but it's likely that he will rest up for their next home game. Maggette has Fantasy value in deeper leagues, but isn't worth starting with the way he's been playing. Monitor his status through Week 9 (Dec. 20-26).
News: For a second straight game Bucks forward Corey Maggette failed to score. He's shot 0 for 6 over his last two games. He's also got just three boards, one steal and one assist in those outings. His minutes have been dwindling lately as he's averaging just 10.0 minutes a game over his last five.
Analysis: Maggette didn't contribute for the Bucks, so he didn't contribute for Fantasy owners either. He's been dealing with injuries this year, but seems to have just fallen out of favor and out of the main rotation. He should be considered a low-end forward option in deeper Fantasy leagues right now.
News: The Bucks gave just seven minutes to Corey Maggette on Monday night and still managed to defeat the Mavericks and end their 12-game winning streak in Dallas. Maggette shot the ball five times during his time in the game and hit just one of those shots to score two points.
Analysis: Maggette was not hurt as far as anyone can tell. He just wasn't really apart of the team's rotation. Plus, it worked as the Bucks pulled the road upset. He's only played a total of 37 minutes in his last three games since scoring 20 points against Miami on Dec. 6. Maggette is just a low-end option in Fantasy because it seems like the Bucks don't know what to do with him.
News: Milwaukee SF Corey Maggette dropped 20 points on Miami in a losing effort on Monday night. He shot 6 of 12 from the field over 30 minutes and hit a 3-pointer. Maggette added three rebounds and a steal in the contest.
Analysis: Maggette has been bothered by an ankle injury but was clearly at his healthiest on Monday against the Heat. Fantasy owners should monitor his health in the coming games and get him active if he keeps playing well.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette scored 17 points in 22 minutes off the bench in the Bucks' loss at Denver on Wednesday. Maggette, who has missed Milwaukee's last two games while bothered by an ankle injury, finished 5 of 10 from the field and also contributed four assists.
Analysis: Maggette registered his highest point total since netting 20 at Philadelphia on Nov. 19. In his last three games played, Maggette is averaging 11 points per game in 24.3 minutes and though he averages double figures in scoring, it will be on the lower end and hardly consistently. With the combination of being a persistent injury risk and limited playing time, Maggette might not be a worthy option in shallow leagues. Fantasy owners should consider him only in deeper leagues.
News: Bucks SF Corey Maggette will play Wednesday at Denver, according to play-by-play man Jim Paschke. He missed the last two games because of an ankle injury.
Analysis: Maggette felt like he'd be able to play all along, so this report isn't a surprise. You might not necessarily want to activate him in Fantasy, though. His productivity is limited in his current role off the bench. He'll score in double figures more often than not, but he's not the high-end scorer he used to be and will sometimes get limited minutes. He's just a low-end Fantasy forward.
News: Bucks SF Corey Maggette, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, not to mention a bout with the flu, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel he'll play Wednesday at Denver. “The ankle is feeling a lot better,” he said after practice Tuesday. “I’m going to go (against Denver).”
Analysis: By the sound of it, Maggette is safe to activate if you own him in a daily league. Of course, his productivity is limited in his current role off the bench. He'll score in double figures more often than not, but he's not the high-end scorer he used to be and will sometimes get limited minutes. He's just a low-end Fantasy forward.
News: Bucks SF Corey Maggette was thought to be over his ankle issues and available to play on Monday night against Utah. Instead, he never entered the game for the Bucks as he was dealing with a case of the flu. Maggette, who shouldn't be affected by the ankle at this point, is day to day for Milwaukee and is questionable to play in the team's next game on Wednesday at Denver. If the illness has subsided, Maggette should be in the game for the Bucks.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging just 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds this season, playing just over 20 minutes per game. That makes him just a stopgap measure for deeper leagues -- and that is when he is 100 percent healthy, which right now he currently is not.
News: Bucks SF Corey Maggette, who came into Monday's game in Utah as a question mark with left ankle soreness, dressed and played for Milwaukee, reports NBA.com. Maggette, however, was limited as he was sick for most of Monday, according to coach Scott Skiles.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging just 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds this season, playing just over 20 minutes per game. That makes him just a stopgap measure for deeper leagues -- and that is when he is 100 percent healthy, which right now he currently is not.
News:The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Bucks F Corey Maggette (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game in Utah against the Jazz. He is likely to be a game-time decision.
Analysis: Maggette was not suited up for the Bucks on Saturday night against the Bobcats, but with Carlos Delfino out there is a need for Maggette to get back into the mix. Maggette is averaging just 12.5 points and 4.1 rebounds this season, playing just over 20 minutes per game. That makes him just a stopgap measure for deeper leagues -- and that is when he is 100 percent healthy.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette was not suited up for the Bucks on Saturday night against the Bobcats, according to the team's official website. He missed the game with a sore left ankle.
Analysis: Maggette has scored just 23 points over his last three games. Despite not starting, Maggette normally gets a good amount of playing time. He can score and shoots a decent percentage from the foul line. When healthy, Maggette is a viable forward option in deeper category-based Fantasy leagues.
News: Bucks forward Corey Maggette scored just 10 points on Wednesday against the Cavaliers. He shot 2 for 8 from the field and went 6 for 10 from the foul line. Maggette has been shooting 86.2 percent from the charity stripe this season, so he had an off night from the line. However, his 75 free throws made on the year is among the top-20 in the league. He added eight rebounds and two assists in his 33 minutes of action.
Analysis: Maggette has been a nice source of points, rebounds and free throws off the bench for the Bucks this year. He's also been a good pickup in deeper Fantasy leagues. He is the team's sixth man, but can have outings like this were he logs heavy minutes or takes a game over scoring wise. But his inconsistency limits his Fantasy value to deeper category-based formats.
News: Milwaukee forward Corey Maggette hurt his leg at the end of Tuesday's game against the Lakers, but showed no signs of injury on Friday. Maggette logged 26 minutes off the bench versus the 76ers and led the Bucks with 20 points. He shot 5 for 12 from the field and was 10 for 11 from the foul line. He added six rebounds for the Bucks, but it would not be enough as Philadelphia would win the game, 90-79.
Analysis: Maggette was a question mark entering Friday, but was a much needed player for the Bucks. He has a history of being injury prone during his career, so this is something Fantasy owners should keep their eyes on. But even though he is the team's sixth man, Maggette gets starters minutes and puts up solid numbers across the board. He should be viewed as a reserve option in the majority of formats, but can be used in deeper category-based leagues.
News: Bucks F Corey Maggette was hurt with just over a minute left in Tuesday's game against the Lakers. Teammate Andrew Bogut landed on his leg and both appeared to be in a deal of pain. Maggette was removed from the game and did not return, but there was very little time left in the game and it had been decided by that point.
Analysis: Maggette has a history of being prone to injury throughout his career. This one does not appear to be too serious, but it will be something to monitor going forward. Treat him as day to day. He'll have a couple of full days off before the Bucks return to action on Friday night. Maggette had 15 points in 15 minutes off the bench and has been playing somewhat of a sixth man role for the Bucks in his first season in Milwaukee. He has become merely a reserve option in Fantasy due to inconsistent production as a result.
News: Bucks forward Corey Maggette had been struggling with his shot entering Tuesday's game against the Knicks. He only got 22 minutes in that game but scored 14 points on 4 of 6 from the field. Wednesday at Atlanta, Maggette really started to heat up. He shot 7 for 8 from the field and 1 for 1 from long range to score 20 points over 30 minutes. Maggettte committed six fouls in the game and added just one assist and no rebounds.
Analysis: Maggette spent so much time worrying about his field goal percentage on Wednesday that he almost didn't contribute any other statistics. That said, Fantasy owners have to be happy about the 7-for-8 shooting on Wednesday. The more minutes he gets, the more he'll hit his stride. A solid shooting Maggette can be used in deeper Fantasy leagues.
News: Bucks SF Corey Maggette played well over 22 bench minutes on Tuesday in a win over the Knicks. He went 6 for 6 from the line and 4 of 6 overall to score 14 points in the win. Maggette added four rebounds.
Analysis: Maggette has scored, at most, 16 points in his last five games and is averaging just 11.8 ppg over that span. He doesn't do much else that would make Fantasy owners want to start him so his scoring is going to have to pick up. Maggette is shooting poorly but should hit his stride at some point. You can feel free leaving him inactive as a bench player until that happens.
News: Bucks F Corey Maggette was productive off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers. He scored 16 points in 17 minutes despite shooting just 4 for 12 from the field. He shot 8 for 8 from the foul line and has made all 29 of his free-throw attempts.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging just 21.5 minutes per game off the bench this season for the Bucks, but is averaging 16.0 points per game in that time span. Most of it is because of his uncanny ability to get the foul line. We continue to view him as a viable play as a low-end starter in standard Fantasy hoops leagues for now, but at some point the drop in playing time will affect his bottom line.
News: Bucks F Corey Maggette followed two strong performances to start the year with a poor effort on Saturday against the Bobcats. He struggled with his shot, shooting 2 for 10 from the field in just 18 minutes of action. He finished with only nine points and three rebounds with four turnovers.
Analysis: Maggette had 16 points and seven rebounds in the opener and 23 points with five rebounds on Friday night at Minnesota. Perhaps it was playing the back end of back-to-back games, but Maggette's shot was off all night and he was never able to get into the flow of the game. The overall body of work after one week has been positive even in his role as a bench player for the Bucks, however, so we continue to view him as a viable play as a low-end starter in standard Fantasy hoops leagues for now.
News: Bucks F Corey Maggette had a solid debut for the Bucks in Wednesday's season opener against the Hornets. He played just 20 minutes off the bench, but he contributed 16 points with seven rebounds, shooting 4 for 8 from the field. He went 8 for 8 from the foul line.
Analysis: Maggette missed most of the preseason due to injury, so he is a bit behind schedule in conditioning. That could have been a reason for the lack of big minutes, but it is worth noting that he will have to contend with players like Carlos Delfino and John Salmons and for minutes and touches over the course of the season, so we expect his overall numbers to decline this year. However, he should retain enough value to be an asset as a reserve and occasional low-end starter in Fantasy based upon matchups and hot streaks.
News: Bucks forward Corey Maggette made his preseason debut on Friday night in the team's final game. He missed both of his shots from the field, but was 17 for 20 from the foul line. He added three rebounds, two assists and one steal in his 14 minutes of action. Maggette didn't think he'd be ready for the season opener, but with him seeing action on Friday he put any doubts to rest. He is still recovering from surgery to repair a torn peroneal tendon in his leg performed in July, so he'll likely come off the bench for the Bucks to start the season.
Analysis: Maggette averaged 19.8 points per game in 70 appearances last season for Golden State. Being on a new team and coming off surgery, so his playing time will probably be limited to start the season. He may be able to get some starts down the road, but is definitely not up to par with where he was last year in terms of Fantasy value. The good news from Friday is that he played and shot a stellar percentage from the charity stripe. When healthy, Maggette should be considered a No. 3 or 4 Fantasy forward option.
News: Milwaukee SF Corey Maggette (leg) told the Journal Times on Tuesday that he might not be ready for the regular-season opener. Maggette continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn peroneal tendon performed in July.
Analysis: Maggette clearly wants to make sure he's 100 percent healthy and returned from the surgery before he's back on the court for the Bucks. Maggette averaged 19.8 points per game in 70 appearances last season, but going from Golden State's free-flowing system to Milwaukee where he could be looking at split playing time with Carlos Deflino will almost certainly lead to a sharp decline. The injury only further serves to knock him down draft lists, but he has appeal as a possible No. 3 or 4 forward option in standard leagues when healthy.
News: Bucks F Corey Maggette told reporters at his team's media day that he could miss the entire preseason as he continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn peroneal tendon performed in July. Maggette said it would be "a slow process."
Analysis: Last week, the Bucks said they would bring along the veteran slowly and it appears that the start of the season is also in danger for the Bucks' new small forward. Maggette averaged 19.8 points per game in 70 appearances last season, but going from Golden State's free-flowing system to Milwaukee where he could be looking at split playing time with Carlos Deflino will almost certainly lead to a sharp decline. The injury only further serves to knock him down draft lists, but he has appeal as a possible No. 3 or 4 forward optn in standard leagues when healthy.
News: Milwaukee acquired forward Corey Maggette and a 2010 second-round draft pick from Golden State for guard Charlie Bell and center Dan Gadzuric. Maggette appeared in 70 games during the 2009-10 regular season for the Warriors, averaging 19.8 points with 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists.
Analysis: Maggette enjoyed a resurgent season for the Warriors this year when he was healthy as a go-to player for Don Nelson. His numbers dropped in the second half of the season as the team began to go with younger players, but Maggette proved he still has the ability to be a player that can be relied upon heavily. The Warriors' free-flowing offensive style also helped, so expect to see his numbers drop this year in Milwaukee. That makes him a player who could be overrated this year in drafts, but he should be a viable No. 3 or 4 forward option at the very least.
News: According to Comcast Sports Net Bay Area, Warriors F Corey Maggette will miss the team's last two games of the regular season with a hand injury. Maggette appeared in 70 games during the 2009-10 regular season.
Analysis: Maggette enjoyed a resurgent season for the Warriors this year when he was healthy, averaging 19.8 points with 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists as a go-to player for Don Nelson. His numbers dropped in the second half of the season as the team began to go with younger players, but Maggette proved he still has the ability to be a player that can be relied upon heavily. The Warriors' free-flowing offensive style also helped.
News: Warriors F Corey Maggette couldn't miss Sunday against the Raptors. Maggette shot 10 of 14 from the field, totaling 31 points for his first 30-plus performance in his last eight games. He also added four rebounds, four assists and a steal in 37 minutes. He has scored 20 or more points in four of his last five games.
Analysis: Maggette has been pouring on the points over his last five contests, averaging 22.4 to go along with four rebounds. With the Warriors playing six times during Fantasy Week 24 (April 5-14), Maggette remains a quality Fantasy option down the stretch.
News: Warriors forward Corey Maggette had 22 points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal Wednesday night at Utah. He is averaging 17.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in his past five games.
Analysis: Maggette continues to do well scoring, which is his main value to Fantasy owners. Hopefully he will continue to score at a high level with more games over 20 points, and consider him a No. 3 Fantasy option for the rest of the year.
News: Warriors F Corey Maggette (flu) scored 17 points in a win over the Clippers on Sunday. Maggette shot 6 of 16 from the field while collecting four boards and a steal in 24 minutes. He has scored in double figures in 13 straight contests.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging 16.6 points and 4.8 rebounds over his last five contests. He has been consistent with his scoring, and with the Warriors playing three times during Fantasy Week 23 (March 29- April 4), Maggette makes for a low-end No. 2 Fantasy forward.
News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette, who has been ill this week, went to the Warriors' locker room midway through the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Mavericks and didn't return. He played 26 minutes, shooting 7 of 15 from the field, finishing with 21 points, five rebounds and one assist.
Analysis: Maggette rebounded from a pair of sub-par games Saturday despite being under the weather. Over his past five outings, he's averaging 19.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He remains a good start when healthy, but his status should be checked in daily leagues prior to Sunday's game against the Clippers, and before lineups are submitted for Fantasy Week 23 (March 29-April 4).
News: Warriors F Corey Maggette had 12 points, five rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's game against Memphis. He has been held under 15 points in three of his last five games.
Analysis: Maggette scored just 12 points in a game where the Warriors scored 128. The emergence of Reggie Williams seems to have taken a chunk out of his overall Fantasy production and Maggette is suddenly seeing only around 20 minutes per game as he takes a back seat to players the Warriors are trying to develop. He remains a good start, especially for his well-rounded stat lines, but his numbers could be down the rest of the way.
News: Warriors F Corey Maggette played 19 minutes in Monday's game against Phoenix. He shot just 4 of 5 from the field and scored 13 points with four rebounds and two assists. The five field goal attempts were his fewest since Dec. 5.
Analysis: Maggette was not injured, but he seemed to take a back seat to the team's newest scoring sensation, Reggie Williams. Williams played 33 minutes off the bench and had 29 points in another high-scoring game for the Warriors. Maggette remains a viable play because of the numbers he's put up this season, but there could be more games like this down the line with the Warriors in shut-down mode and looking to see what they have in young players.
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette went off for 30 points on Friday in a blowout loss at San Antonio. He shot 10 of 14 from the field and went 10 of 13 from the free-throw line. Maggette added four boards and two dimes.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging just 3.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game over his last five and doesn't bring much to the Fantasy table outside of scoring. He does that well, however, at 21.2 over his last five and 20.2 per game on the year. That keeps him viable as a scorer for most Fantasy leagues.
News: Warriors F Corey Maggette had 24 points, six assists and five rebounds in Thursday's game against Portland. He played 37 minutes, his highest total in four games since returning from his hamstring injury.
Analysis: After missing eight games due to the injury, Maggette has returned like he has not skipped a beat. He is averaging 19.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his first four games since his return and he is once again a great play in all formats.
News: Golden State F Corey Maggette returned to the lineup Friday against Atlanta after missing the previous five games with a strained left hamstring. Maggette added 18 points on 6 of 12 shooting while collecting seven boards in 23 minutes.
Analysis: Maggette made a surprise return after coach Don Nelson said he would be back March 11. With an 18-point performance on Friday, it appears that Maggette should get back to form rather quickly. Fantasy owners should concentrate on starting Maggette during Fantasy Week 20 (March 8-14). When healthy, Maggette is a solid Fantasy option.
News: Warriors forward Corey Maggette, who did not play Sunday against Atlanta and traveled to Los Angeles to have his strained left hamstring examined, could miss more than one game, reports the Contra Costa Times. "He really can't run or jump very much, so we're going to give him some time off probably," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. CSNBayArea.com reports that Maggette will be out until March 11.
Analysis: Keep Maggette reserved in all leagues since it appears like he will be out for the next two weeks. Hopefully he can return soon and be at 100 percent, but the Warriors will likely give him enough time to make a full recovery. When healthy, Maggette is a solid option in all formats, but it sounds like this injury could linger.
News: Golden State Warriors forwards Corey Maggette and Ronny Turiaf did not play in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Maggette traveled to Los Angeles to have his strained left hamstring examined. Turiaf missed the game with an illness.
Analysis: Maggette is having bad luck with injuries lately, which is especially painful for Fantasy owners after he played exceptionally in January, averaging 26.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists. First he dislocated his finger, then he hurt his hamstring. Keep him reserved until he proves he can get on the court. He is obviously a very risky play for Week 18 (Feb. 22-28) at this point, especially since the Warriors only play three games.
News: The play-by-play announcer of the Atlanta Hawks, Bob Rathbun, reports that Golden State SF Corey Maggette is out for Sunday's game against the Hawks. Maggette is dealing with a hamstring problem and there is some talk he could be out even longer.

News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette scored 14 points against the Jazz on Friday despite a problematic hamstring. He logged 21 minutes after being limited to only 12 minutes Wednesday against the Kings. He shot 6 of 12 from the field, adding two rebounds and three steals.
Analysis: Maggette is having bad luck with injuries lately, which is especially painful for Fantasy owners after he played exceptionally in January, averaging 26.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists. First he dislocated his finger, then he hurt his hamstring. His return Friday should be encouraging news, as he is a No. 2 Fantasy forward.
News: According to Comcast Sports New Bay Area, Corey Maggette (hamstring) is expected to start Friday night against Utah. Maggette left Wednesday's game against Sacramento in the first half after just 12 minutes. Anthony Morrow will return to the bench.
Analysis: Maggette was expected to undergo an MRI, but the results were never announced. Clearly, they must have come back without any issues as Maggette is expected to rejoin the starting lineup. He has emerged as a strong Fantasy option this season while healthy, but it is not a horrible idea to let him prove healthy before activating him if you have viable alternatives. Morrow's recent hot streak will likely be coming to an end with Maggette and Monta Ellis back for the Warriors.
News: According to Comcast Sports Net Bay Area, Corey Maggette (hamstring) is expected to undergo an MRI on his injured hamstring. There is no word on when that will be, however.
Analysis: Maggette was a player who was mentioned in many trade rumors, but the trade deadline came and went Thursday without Maggette being dealt. Now, the only concern his Fantasy owners have is when he will be able to get back on the court. Consider him day-to-day and continue to monitor his progress. This injury could linger a few more games and Fantasy owners should be prepared to be without him heading into Fantasy Week 18 (Feb. 22-28).
News: Golden State F Corey Maggette was held out in the second half of Wednesday night's game against Sacramento with a stiff left hamstring. He played 12 minutes and finished with five points and three rebounds.
Analysis: Maggette had just returned Tuesday night against the Lakers after missing two games due to a dislocated finger. Hopefully this hamstring injury doesn't linger and he can return soon, but he should be kept reserved for the time being. When healthy, Maggette is a quality Fantasy option in all formats.
News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette returned after missing two games due to a dislocated finger, scoring 17 points against the Lakers on Tuesday. In 32 minutes he shot 4 of 13, adding five rebounds and five assists.
Analysis: Maggette has played very well in February, averaging 20.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in three games. This on the heels of a superb January in which he averaged 26.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists. With Monta Ellis out for the Warriors due to a knee injury Maggette will only get more shots, and he was already a solid No. 2 Fantasy forward.
News: The San Jose Mercury News reports Warriors forward Corey Maggette practiced Monday and is expected to play Tuesday night at the Lakers after missing the past two games with a dislocated left ring finger. Maggette sustained the injury Feb. 6 vs. Oklahoma City.
Analysis: It appears safe to keep Maggette active in all leagues, although there is also a possibility that he could get traded during the week if reports are true that the Cavaliers are considering him as an option if they can't make other deals they are looking into. Maggette is a solid scorer and could see an increase in production with Monta Ellis dealing with a knee injury, but is somewhat of a tenuous option heading into Week 17 (Feb. 15-21).
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette, who was already ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas, is now out until after the All-Star break, reports the Contra Costa Times. He continues to deal with a dislocated left ring finger.
Analysis: Here's hoping you made the right choice in Fantasy and sat Maggette for Week 16 (Feb. 8-14). Keep him reserved in all leagues until after the break at this point. Maggette is a solid Fantasy start in any league, when healthy.
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette will reportedly miss "a couple games" with a dislocated left ring finger/knuckle, according to Jaymee Sire, a reporter for CSN Bay Area and CSN California. Maggette is definitely out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: With one game remaining until the All-Star break, it seems highly likely that Maggette won't be back on the court until Fantasy Week 17 (Feb. 15-21) at the earliest. Keep him reserved in all Fantasy leagues for now. When healthy, Maggette is obviously a solid Fantasy option for any format.
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette was back in action on Wednesday at Dallas following a one-game absence due to an injured hip. Maggette was back to his old tricks with 20 points on 8 of 19 shooting and a three over 40 minutes. He added nine rebounds and a steal.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game over his last four contests. As long as he's healthy, he's worth starting in most Fantasy leagues due to his scoring ability.
News: Warriors forward Corey Maggette missed practice with a hip pointer and was a game-time decision for Tuesday's game in Houston. He was held out of the game and remains questionable for Wednesday's game in Dallas. Maggette scored 26 points with five rebounds and four assists in his most recent game Sunday in Oklahoma City.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists over his last five games and is one of the few constants in Don Nelson's erratic rotations. Fantasy owners will have to hope for a speedy recovery considering Maggette's status as a high-end Fantasy forward right now. Prepare alternatives if you are in a daily lineup league.
News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette will not play Tuesday against the Rockets due to a hip pointer, according to the Contra Costa Times.Analysis: Maggette is playing extremely well of late, averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists over his past five games. He's scored at least 25 in nine of his last 11 contests. This injury shouldn't force him to miss much time, which is good news to owners as he is a must-start Fantasy option in all leagues.
News: Warriors forward Corey Maggette missed practice with a hip pointer and is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game in Houston, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Maggette scored 26 points with five rebounds and four assists in his most recent game Sunday in Oklahoma City.

He shot 5 of 13 from the field, 0 for 1 from 3-point range, and added two rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Analysis: Despite not scoring 20 points in each of his last two games, Maggette is still averaging an outrageous 27.1 a game for January, along with 7.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

As long as he continues to see 35-40 minutes per game and around 15 shots per game in this system, and there is no reason to believe he won't, he should continue to put up high-end numbers.

Analysis: Maggette has scored less than 20 points in nine straight games after scoring 20 or more in six of his previous nine. If anything, his role has decreased as the Warriors have lost players due to injury, which doesn't bode well for his numbers over the rest of the season.

Analysis: Maggette should be treated as day to day. The Morning News added that the hamstring "wasn't supposed to keep him out." Perhaps it got worse and the team decided to keep him out of the lineup. The Warriors have two more games in Fantasy Week 5 (Nov. 23-29) and Maggette has emerged as an excellent play in the absence of Stephen Jackson and Kelenna Azubuike.
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette continues to play well as the Warriors continue to be desperate for healthy bodies. The team dressed just eight players on Wednesday at Boston and Maggette started and played 32 minutes. He scored 23 points and added eight rebounds one game after going for 19 and 11 on Tuesday.
Analysis: Maggette is shooting well, hitting threes and even adding rebounds and assists into the mix. That said, he still plays for Don Nelson and his playing time will continue to go up and down like a yo-yo. He's going to have his ups and downs and is just a No. 3 Fantasy forward, at best.

Analysis: Maggette's rebounds actually led the team, but those numbers could take a hit once Anthony Randolph is ready to play more minutes as he recovers from an injury. Maggette heads into the season as a type of sixth man for the Warriors, but he splits that role with Kelenna Azubuike and Fantasy owners should consider Maggette merely a No. 3 or 4 forward in standard formats.

News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette, who has now missed two straight games after suffering a head contusion against San Antonio on March 24, could not play on Saturday at Denver. He's questionable for Monday's game at home against Memphis.
Analysis: Maggette scored just six points on 1-of-8 shooting in that game against the Spurs and he's averaging 11 points, five boards and a steal per game over his last five contests. Considering he may need some time to adjust once he returns to action, and the fact that might not come Monday just yet, makes him a tough play in Week 23 (March 30-April 5). The sure bet is to keep him benched during the week as he'll be a major injury risk.

Analysis: Maggette has missed two of the team's last four games. The first was when Don Nelson was employing a system where he was sitting out a veteran player per game to give younger players a chance to play.

Analysis: The good news is that Don Nelson appears to have abandoned his plan of sitting out a veteran per game -- at least for now. None were sat on Wednesday.

It appears as if Nelson changed his mind or the report was wrong.

Analysis: It appears Maggette will be OK and should remain active in all lineups. Keep him in your lineup against Charlotte on Friday.

He had 15 points, five rebounds and an assist in his last game Monday against San Antonio and played 33 minutes off the bench in an overtime loss.

Maggette has come off the bench for the past five games and seven of 10 since returning from his monthlong injury layoff, and the 10th-year forward is thriving with his health and happiness in check. His numbers have increased across the board despite fewer minutes, and with a proven scorer now in reserve, Golden State's offense - still in adjustment mode with the return of Monta Ellis - has taken on a more balanced feel. "Some people have got to make sacrifices," said Maggette, who is averaging 22.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 30 minutes as a reserve. "I can still score and do whatever I do coming off the bench. It's not a big deal. We can ease the pain of people arguing and somebody's got to be the big man and that's fine."

Analysis: The report adds that Maggette will not travel with the team when it plays at Denver Saturday. There's no timetable for his return, as he'll continue to rest until any results from future tests turn up more positive. Fantasy owners should reserve him until further notice.
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette (hamstring) is still suffering from a strained hamstring and could not play in Friday's game against the Rockets. This is the third game he has missed with the injury.
Analysis: Golden State expects to have Maggette back in the picture shortly. He has never played a full season in his career, but Maggette has managed to play 70-plus games the last two seasons. He is a good scorer and rebounder when healthy, so consider Maggette a No. 2 Fantasy forward.
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette (hamstring) is still suffering from a strained hamstring and could not play in Wednesday's game against the Bucks. He was also out on Monday for the Warriors.
Analysis: Golden State expects to have Maggette back in the picture shortly. He has never played a full season in his career, but Maggette has managed to play 70-plus games the last two seasons. He is a good scorer and rebounder when healthy, so consider Maggette a No. 2 Fantasy forward.
News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette was not available Monday against the Thunder because of a strained right hamstring. He is day-to-day and questionable heading into Wednesday against the Bucks.
Analysis: Golden State was also down Stephen Jackson Monday because of a hand injury and his injury could end up being a lot worse than initially expected. Therefore, Golden State hopes to have Maggette back in the picture shortly. He has never played a full season in his career, but Maggette has managed to play 70-plus games the last two seasons. He is a good scorer and rebounder when healthy, so consider Maggette a No. 2 Fantasy forward.
News: Warriors F Corey Maggette had 29 points with five rebounds in Monday's overtime loss to Miami. He shot 17-for-18 from the free throw line in the game.
Analysis: Maggette has scored at least 29 points in three of his last four games. He has been starting at power forward lately with Brandan Wright playing small forward and has picked up eligibility at power forward in leagues that use individual positions and allow multiple eligibility. That only enhances his Fantasy appeal in those leagues.
News: Warriors F Corey Maggette scored 32 points with 12 rebounds in Saturday's 138-125 loss at the Knicks. He shot 12-for-20 from the field and is averaging 19.8 points over his last five games.
Analysis: It was the second time in three games that Maggette scored 32 points. He is not quite as consistent as Fantasy owners would like, but that is a result of the Warriors' playing style. Fantasy owners should continue to view him as a No. 2 forward.
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette, averaging only 17.2 points per game in his first season with the Warriors, scored a season-high 32 points Wednesday at Boston. He shot 12-for-20 from the field and also had four rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Analysis: Maggette is still a clear must-start in Fantasy, but he obviously has more competition for shots in Golden State than he did with the Clippers. Still, start him as a No. 2 Fantasy forward.
News: Golden State SF Corey Maggette returned to action after a hamstring injury on Thursday night against the Pistons. Maggette started and played 28 minutes. He shot 2-of-7 from the field and finished with 13 points and four boards. He added four assists.
Analysis: Maggette came into Thursday averaging 18.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists so far with his new team. He looks like a nice fit in the Warriors offense, and after averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season, is an obvious must-start in Fantasy.
News: Warriors starting forward Corey Maggette missed his fourth straight game Tuesday against Minnesota with a hamstring injury. He remains day to day.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging 18.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists so far with his new team. He looks like a nice fit in the Warriors offense, and after averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season, is an obvious must-start in Fantasy when healthy.
News: Warriors starting forward Corey Maggette missed his third straight game Sunday against Sacramento with a hamstring injury. He remains day to day.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging 18.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists so far with his new team. He looks like a nice fit in the Warriors offense, and after averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season, is an obvious must-start in Fantasy when healthy. But the injury makes him a risky start Week 3 (Nov. 10-16). Start him at your own risk.
News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette missed a second straight game Friday against the Grizzlies because of a hamstring injury. He remains day-to-day and questionable for Sunday against the Kings.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging 18.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists so far with his new team. He looks like a nice fit in the Warriors offense, and after averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season, is an obvious must-start in Fantasy. If he can't play Sunday, then consider him a risky start Week 3 (Nov. 10-16).
News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette was held out of Wednesday's game at Golden State with a strained left hamstring. He suffered the injury Monday but played through it.
Analysis: Maggette is averaging 18.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists so far with his new team. He looks like a nice fit in the Warriors offense, and after averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season, is an obvious must-start in Fantasy. Keep an eye on this injury, but it doesn't sound serious.
News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette went to the locker room late in the first quarter Monday at Memphis with a mild left hamstring strain. He returned at the start of the second half. He finished with 13 points, one rebound and two assists in 31 minutes of play, shooting only 4-for-16 from the floor and 0-for-5 from 3-point range.
Analysis: Maggette topped 20 points in two of his first three games, but the hamstring injury might have affected his performance. He looks like a nice fit in the Warriors offense, and after averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season, is an obvious must-start in Fantasy.
News: The Warriors have some of the best matchups for Fantasy Week 2 (Nov. 3-9) with a full, four-game slate that includes two tilts against Memphis and games against Denver and Sacramento. The Grizzlies have played some surprisingly good defense this season early on, but they are a team that gave up 106.9 points per game last season. Denver allowed the second most points in the NBA last season (108.8 ppg) and they lost their best defensive player, Marcus Camby in the offseason. Sacramento allowed 104.8 ppg a season ago and they too lost their best defensive player, Ron Artest.
Analysis: Too bad Monta Ellis is not around to take advantage of such promising matchups. But Monta's loss can be a gain for Stephen Jackson, Corey Maggette and Kelenna Azubuike. A 400-plus point week is a very likely possibility and Jackson and Maggette have been carrying the offensive load so far for the Warriors sans Monta Ellis. Consider them great starts.
News: Warriors SF Corey Maggette, who came over from the Clippers in the offseason, had an impressive debut Wednesday against the Hornets, leading the team with 27 points on 8-of-11 shooting. He also had eight rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes.
Analysis: Maggette should thrive in the Warriors' system, not that he was anything but studly with the Clippers. He averaged 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season, making him an obvious must-start in Fantasy.
News: The San Jose Mercury News reports that forward Corey Maggette practiced Monday, signs that his strained right hamstring is improving. "You sitting out five days ... I take (Monday) as an improvement, being able to run up and down the floor," Maggette said.
Analysis: The Warriors will play three games in Fantasy Week 1 (Oct. 27-Nov. 2). They begin the season on Oct. 29 against New Orleans, moving on to play at Toronto on Oct. 31 and at New Jersey on Nov. 1. The Hornets allowed just 95.6 ppg last season, the Raptors 97.3 and the Nets 100.9. Consider Maggette a safe play.

Analysis: The Warriors will be without Monta Ellis for the first month and a half of the season, creating a situation for a rookie to start the year at point guard. DeMarcus Nelson has been tabbed as the starter for the beginning of the season, winning the job over more experienced Marcus Williams. While he is worth picking up as a reserve in the hopes he proves useful, Week 1 is not the right time to start him. He'll be matchup up against Chris Paul, Jose Calderon and Devin Harris. It could be a tough week for the rookie. Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson and Andris Biedrins should be considered safe starts in a three-game week. Al Harrington can be useful as a low-end option at forward or as a No. 2 center. Kelenna Azubuike is worth owning as a reserve, but is a very low-end starting option for now. Williams showed in the preseason that he can't be relied upon yet. Marco Belinelli, Barandan Wright and Anthony Randolph are just player to monitor for now.
News: The Golden State Warriors signed high-scoring free agent Corey Maggette on Thursday. A person with knowledge of the deal previously told The Associated Press that Maggette would be signed to a 5-year contract worth around $50 million.
Analysis: Maggette, a 6-foot-6 swingman who led Los Angeles in scoring last season, should fit well into Golden State coach Don Nelson's fast-paced style of play. He averaged 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season for the moribund Clippers, finishing slightly off his career highs in all three categories. The team is looking for a way to make up for Davis' 21.8 ppg and Maggette fits that. He may or may not start, but that's no big deal in Golden State, where Nelson's lineups are the most whimsical in the NBA. Stephen Jackson is a proven scorer himself and was one of just three players that was a constant in the starting lineup last season. Expect both players to see significant playing time with Nelson playing small lineups a lot of the time.
News: The Golden State Warriors will sign high-scoring free agent Corey Maggette to a five-year contract worth around $50 million, a person with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press on Tuesday night. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal can't be announced until Wednesday at the earliest, confirmed Maggette will leave the Los Angeles Clippers for a lucrative long-term deal with the fast-paced Warriors, who outbid several suitors for the former Duke star.

News: The Los Angeles Clippers want to keep Elton Brand and Corey Maggette, each of whom has opted out of the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent. As soon as the pair made their intentions known, team president Andy Roeser said the Clippers will be aggressive in trying to convince them to stay.
Analysis: Maggette, who was due $7 million, led Los Angeles in scoring this past season with a 22.1 average. He has been with the Clippers since the 2000-2001 season, longest of any current player. Landing on a another team could be a good thing for his Fantasy value as the emergence of rookie Al Thornton and the return of Brand would indicate a decline in production next season with the Clippers.
News: Clippers F Corey Maggette averaged a career-high 22.1 points per game during the 2007-08 regular season. He started a career-high 65 games and enjoyed his best offensive NBA season with Elton Brand missing most of the season with an Achilles' injury.
Analysis: Maggette may look to cash in on his career season in the offseason with a player option to bail out of his contract. That may be a good thing for his Fantasy value as the emergence of rookie Al Thornton and the return of Brand would indicate a decline in production next season with the Clippers.
News: As he promised, Corey Maggette returned to action Sunday against the Warriors, after missing the previous two games with a strained right hamstring. Maggette's 22 points off the bench in 30 minutes was his 51st game of 20 or more points.
Analysis: Maggette appears fine and has played well this season. He should be fine for the rest of the year even if he does come off the bench. There does appear to be enough minutes to go around, however, for the final two games of the regular season -- tough matchups at New Orleans and Houston.
News:Corey Maggette scored 22 points Friday at Golden State after missing the last two games with a strained hamstring. He added seven rebounds while playing 30 minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Maggette came off the bench while Elton Brand and Al Thornton started in the Clippers back court. There does appear to be enough minutes to go around, however, for the final two games of the regular season -- tough matchups at New Orleans and Houston.
News: Clippers forward Corey Maggette missed Thursday's game against the Lakers with an injured hamstring. Maggette has now missed two games with the injury.
Analysis: Maggette is an explosive scorer that averages 22.2 points per game when healthy. He is a solid Fantasy option, so hopefully he will be able to return. Keep an eye on what develops before setting your lineup for the upcoming scoring period.
News: The Clippers may have the services of forward Corey Maggette, their leading scorer. He missed Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets with a strained right hamstring, but his status was updated to probable. He did not practice Wednesday, instead doing some light shooting, reports the L.A. Times.
Analysis: Maggette is an explosive scorer that averages 22.2 points per game when healthy. He is a solid Fantasy option, so hopefully he will be able to return. Keep an eye on what develops before setting your lineup for the upcoming scoring period.
News: According to the L.A. Daily News, Corey Maggette's status for the rest of the season is not certain. Maggette has a strained right hamstring and might be done for the season. "I don't see a crystal ball around here," Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said. "I don't think so. It didn't seem like he said it was bad, but I don't know."
Analysis: The Clippers aren't being very forthcoming with Maggette's status, but since they don't have anything to play for, it wouldn't be a big surprise if he sits the final games of the season. Maggette is an explosive scorer that averages 22.2 points per game when healthy. He is a solid Fantasy option and will once again be a high-end selection on Draft Day 2008.
News: Clippers SF Corey Maggette was held out of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets after leaving Sunday's game with a strained right hamstring. He is day to day and questionable for Thursday against the Lakers.

News: The Los Angeles Times reports Clippers forward Corey Maggette is doubtful for Tuesday night's game against Denver because of a strained right hamstring.
Analysis: It appears Maggette could miss significant time with the hamstring injury. The safe bet is to keep him reserved in all Fantasy leagues. When healthy, he is a solid starting option, but the Clippers have nothing to play for at this time and could keep him out.
News: Clippers SF Corey Maggette, averaging a team-leading 22.5 points, left midway through the first quarter Sunday against the Rockets with a strained right hamstring and didn't return after scoring only three points. He has dealt with the hamstring injury for much of the season.
Analysis: Maggette has missed games from time to time with this hamstring injury, but he rarely sits for more than one or two games in a row. We still have to recommend starting him for the final Fantasy scoring period -- he averages 22.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, after all -- but understand that you're putting your team's title hopes at risk.
News: Clippers F Corey Maggette had 28 points and five rebounds in Thursday's loss at Sacramento, giving him nine straight games with at least 20 points.
Analysis: Maggette has played well in the last two games despite the return of Elton Brand from his Achilles' injury. Brand has come off the bench so far and does not appear to be at a point where he can take away the primary scoring role from Maggs. Leave him active in all leagues.
News: The more rookie Al Thornton continues to wow the Clippers' basketball staff, the less chance that veteran swingman Corey Maggette will be back for his ninth season with the team, reports the Sports Xchange. It's not as if Maggette isn't a valued player for the Clippers. He is. However, Thornton needs substantial playing time to continue his growth, and with Maggette around, that would not happen next season. This season, Thornton has been able to play a great deal at power forward because of the long rehabilitation of Elton Brand. But Thornton's natural position is small forward, the spot that Maggette has started in all season. It is conceivable that the Clippers could move Maggette back to shooting guard, where he has played in the past, and slide Thornton into the starting small forward position. That theoretically would give the Clippers a dynamic second unit, led by Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas. But the chemistry with both Maggette and Thornton on the court with a healthy Elton Brand and Chris Kaman might not work because both Thornton and Maggette have scoring mentalities and are not proficient at setting up their teammates.
Analysis: Maggette plans to opt out of the final year of his contract this summer and the wise thing for the Clippers to do would be to explore sign-and-trade possibilities involving him. The smartest move they could make, if they move on that plan, would be to go after an established point guard. Look for Maggette to be elsewhere next season. He will likely remain a solid source of points and good Fantasy option no matter where he ends up.
News: Clippers forward Corey Maggette went for 21 points, three rebounds and two assists Tuesday at Dallas.
Analysis: Maggette remains the team's best scoring option without Elton Brand, but that could change of Brand returns soon as expected. Still, continue to start Maggette in all Fantasy formats and hope he continues to produce above 20 points per game.
News: Clippers SF Corey Maggette, who missed Friday's game because of a sore shoulder, returned to the lineup Saturday against the Blazers. He had 21 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

News: Clippers SF Corey Maggette sat out Friday's game at Portland because of a sore shoulder. He had averaged 29.7 points over his last three games.
Analysis: Maggette had played well of late, so we don't think this injury will end up a long-term problem. The team's leading scorer is averaging 22.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, making him a Fantasy must-start when healthy.
News: Clippers forward Corey Maggette went for 34 points, two rebounds and three assists Monday at Minnesota.
Analysis: Maggette remains the team's best scoring option without Elton Brand and is capable of outings like this on a regular basis. Continue to start Maggette in all Fantasy formats.

News: Clippers forward Corey Maggette shot 8-for-16 from the field and scored 29 points on Saturday, but it came in a losing effort against the Minnesota Timberwolves, 99-96.

Analysis: Maggette logged 47 minutes in the overtime win and managed a great line outside of the fact he killed your field-goal percentage in a Rotisserie league. Maggette remains the team's best scoring option sans Elton Brand and it is starting to seem like Brand won't be back for another couple of weeks if not longer. Continue to start him.
News: Clippers forward Corey Maggette went for 16 points, nine rebounds and four assists Monday against the Sixers. He made 4-of-13 shots and 8-of-10 free throws.
Analysis: Maggette is a solid No. 2 Fantasy forward and should continue to play well. He could see an increase in his production with Tim Thomas (groin) out, but he might lose some value once Elton Brand (Achilles) returns from injury in the next few weeks.

News: Clippers F Corey Maggette was able to start Monday against the Celtics despite having to contend with flu-like symptoms. He finished with 11 points, three rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes.
Analysis: Maggette didn't produce his usual 22.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists, so the illness might have bothered him to some degree. But since he played Monday, we suspect he'll keep playing. Keep him active in Fantasy.
News:Corey Maggette is questionable for Monday's game against Boston with flu-like symptoms, according to the Los Angeles Times. Maggette, who has sat out two games, did not fly with the team. A team spokesman said Maggette would attempt to catch up with the team in Minnesota today if he is feeling healthy enough to fly.
Analysis: Maggette recently missed four games with the flu, so this is troubling news just before you have to set your Fantasy lineup for the week. The Clippers are slated for four games this week, but you now have to consider Maggs a very risky start.
News: Clippers forward Corey Maggette extended his streak of 20-point scoring performances to eight consecutive games, with his 23-point outing Saturday against the Lakers. However, the Clippers now are 9-21, when he scores 20 or more points. As of Jan. 6, Maggette was averaging 19.7 points per game. He now is averaging 22 points.

News: Clippers F Corey Maggette had 20 points, an assist and no rebounds, blocks or steals Wednesday against Washington.
Analysis: Maggette has had at least 20 points in five straight games and has been shooting lights out from the flood, but contributions in assists have been lacking. That's normal. The lack of rebounds on Wednesday was more of an exception than the rule with Maggette.

Analysis: Maggette recently missed four games with the flu, but he's clearly back up to speed now. He has scored 30-plus points in four of his last 12 games and has scored 20 or more points in 12 of 14 since the calendar year hit 2008. He remains a solid high-end Fantasy forward.
News: Clippers SF Corey Maggette scored 33 points in 38 minutes Wednesday against the Celtics. It was just his second game in the lineup after missing four games with the flu.

News: Clippers SF Corey Maggette missed his fourth straight game with the flu Saturday at Cleveland. The swingman is averaging 20.9 points.
Analysis: The flu is the only thing that could slow Maggette after his red-hot January. He has scored 20 or more points in his last nine contests and 10 of 11 games to start the new year, averaging a season-high 23.3 points in January. Obviously, Maggette has a legitimate case of the flu and will potentially have to sit out a few more games. With the Clippers scheduled to play four times next week, though, we say he returns in time to make a difference.

Analysis: Brand is still at least a couple of weeks away, but Maggette's Fantasy appeal stands to take a big hit once Brand returns. We don't want to scare you too much, but you should brace for a possible drop in scoring production.
News: Clippers F Corey Maggette scored a game-high 23 points in the loss to Utah on Monday but was uncharacteristically awful from the free-throw line, missing five of his 12 attempts. Maggette's goal going into this season was to shoot 90 percent from the foul line, but currently, he is at 80 percent, according to the Sports Xchange.
Analysis: Regardless if Maggette reaches his goal, he is playing well this season and should be used as a No. 2 Fantasy option.

Sam Cassell has been slowed throughout the season by injuries, Shaun Livingston is sidelined for the season after having reconstructive knee surgery, newcomer Jason Hart is still learning the offense and second-year player Daniel Ewing is better suited to play the shooting guard. That has left Maggette with the ball in his hands more often, and he's thrived. "I'm being patient and making it work," said Maggette, averaging 16.1 points for the season. "I'm making better decisions and better reads. I'm not only trying to put myself in a better [scoring] position, I'm trying to put the other guys on the team in a better position. That's what it's about now."

Although the Clippers might move Maggette, whose agent has requested a trade, before the Feb. 22 trading deadline, no potential deals are considered imminent, team sources said Thursday.
