News: Pacers forward Jeff Pendergraph saw his most extensive playing time thus far on Monday night against the Nets and made the most of his time on the court. He scored 14 points and hauled in 10 rebounds -- both season highs -- in 17 minutes off the bench. Pendergraph also posted an assist in the 89-84 loss. He went 7 for 11 from the field but missed his lone attempt from beyond the arc.
Analysis: Pendergraph has not done much for the Pacers this season and only saw minutes Monday while David West sat out after getting poked in the eye. Even if he sees his role increase going forward, continue to ignore the 25-year-old in the majority of Fantasy formats.

Pendergraph logged a season-high nine minutes and scored a season-high six points in a 81-76 victory. He also converted both of his free throw attempts and grabbed a lone rebound in the win.
Analysis: Pendergraph stepped up while Roy Hibbert was sidelined for nearly half of the game and came off the bench for Ian Mahinmi. Once Hibbert was back in play, Pendergraph remained on the bench for the rest of the night. The 25-year-old is a marginal contributor and has averaged 2.2 points per game, so continue to ignore him in all Fantasy formats moving forward.

Analysis: Pendergraph could find a spot in the rotation as Tyler Hansbrough has struggled mightily and is averaging just 2.8 points in his first five games of December. Still, the 25-year-old remains a marginal Fantasy option and should be left on waivers in all formats for now.

Analysis: Pendergraph has totaled just eight minutes of playing time in two games this season as he has not been a focal point in the team's offense. Fantasy owners should follow suit and not consider him a worthwhile option in any format for now.

The second-year forward failed to score in his time on the floor, missing all four of his field goal attempts while grabbing two rebounds.
Analysis: Pendergraph had been racking up the DNP – coach’s decisions prior to this one, being ruled active but not finding a spot in coach Frank Vogel's rotation. Now that he has seen the court on the season, he is still not a useful Fantasy option, as he showed with his scoreless debut. Feel free to leave him on the waiver wire in all formats.

Analysis: Pendergraph was once again ruled active, but earned another DNP -- coaches decision on Monday night. The fact that he has been ruled active for the last few contests seems to suggest he is healthy enough to play, but coach Frank Vogel has yet to summon him off the bench. Even when he does finally see the court, Pendergraph isn't expected to make much of a Fantasy impact, so leave him on the waiver wire in all formats at this point in the season.

Analysis: While there is no official timetable set for the Pendergraph's return, it appears his season is completely lost.

News: Portland forward/center Jeff Pendergraph sustained a right knee injury early in the second quarter of Thursday's preseason game against Utah. He did not return after being carted off the floor. ``I want to just think positive here and hope that nothing is seriously wrong with Jeff,'' said Blazers coach Nate McMillan, whose team is already without centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla because of knee injuries. ``From what I saw and having only (Marcus) Camby and LaMarcus as your bigs, we know we have to go out and find someone here soon.''
Analysis: In his 39 games last year, Pendergraph averaged 2.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.4 blocks per game. Depending on the severity of the injury, Pendergraph may be out for a while. Unfortunately he is part of a crowded frontcourt and has little Fantasy value.

Analysis: Pendergraph averaged just 10.4 minutes in 39 appearances during the regular season. He scored 23 points in the regular season finale against the Warriors, but did very little outside of that in the regular season. He has minimal Fantasy appeal going forward.

Analysis: Howard had 16 points with seven rebounds in the team's last game against the Hornets. Coach Nate McMillan continues to look for answers at center after the losses of Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla and he will continue to have to mix and match. Fantasy owners can't rely on either player heavily, but whomever is getting the most run has some appeal as a stopgap in deeper formats. Right now, that should be Howard.
News: Portland PF Jeff Pendergraph, who has been dealing with a leg injury, was able to start for the Blazers on Saturday against the Warriors. However, Pendergraph failed to score a point in the game and failed to score in eight minutes of action. LaMarcus Aldridge has also been ruled out for Monday's game.
Analysis: Pendergraph was wearing a sleeve on his leg in practice and is starting with LaMarcus Aldridge dealing with an ankle injury. Pendergraph has some upside due to the situation the Blazers are in with their lack of front court depth. Despite this poor performance, he can be of value as a sleeper for deep leagues. He had 14 rebounds and 8 points against the Clippers in his previous game.
News:The Columbian reports that Jeff Pendergraph was wearing a sleeve on his left leg during Friday's practice. The Blazers play the Warriors on Saturday.
Analysis: Pendergraph should play, especially with LaMarcus Aldridge being considered as doubtful for the game with an injury and with all the injuries the team is dealing with in the front court. Pendergraph is a sleeper for deep leagues as he should see increased minutes in coming games due to lack of front court depth on the roster.

News: Blazers rookie PF Jeff Pendergraph, who had hip surgery in mid-September, won't return in late November, according to the Arizona Republic.

News: The Trail Blazers signed rookie Jeff Pendergraph a day before the forward is set to have hip surgery. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Analysis: Pendergraph was scheduled for surgery to correct a left hip impingement. He is expected to be ready for the season.

Pendergraph averaged 14.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game during his senior season with the Arizona State Sun Devils. He could see decent minutes as a rookie and may be worth taking a late-round flier pick in larger Fantasy formats. However, he'll likely be waiver wire fodder as a rookie.
