Analysis: Leading the team in rebounding while scoring 14 in a blowout win is a sure-fire way to make your presence felt when stepping in for a superstar. It was an impressive performance for Harrellson, who almost certainly has earned himself more playing time than he was receiving prior to the start. When Stoudemire gets back, don’t be surprised to see Harrellson’s minutes go up. Despite this, he’s still a reserve at this point and should not be targeted on any Fantasy team.
