Outlaw a solid waiver wire target?
|
Updated 11/5/2009 |
| Travis Outlaw, SF POR | |
| News: Trail Blazers F Travis Outlaw is averaging 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists through his first five games this season. He has shot 6 of 15 from beyond the arc and has also chipped in four steals and five blocks. | Analysis: Travis Outlaw is a waiver-wire favorite in Fantasy leagues, often times a go-to guy for one-week fill ins. Well, that's exactly the case for Fantasy Week 3 (Nov. 9-15). The Blazers have a couple of favorable matchups against Memphis and Minnesota in a four-game week and Outlaw has already had a pair of big games against the Rockets and Hawks this season. He should manage a useful week as a No. 4 forward. Martell Webster is getting the starts, but Outlaw has the better possibility for bigger stat lines. . |

| News: Trail Blazers F Travis Outlaw had 19 points off the bench in Tuesday's game against Atlanta. He played 23 minutes and shot 7 for 15 from the field with 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal. He was 1 for 2 from beyond the arc. | Analysis: Outlaw is averaging 12.4 points and 4.8 rebounds in five games off the bench, taking at least 8 shots in each game and at least 10 shots in three of those games. He is a nice addition off the waiver wire and a decent plug-in starter based on matchups. |

| News: Trail Blazers F Travis Outlaw shot just 1 for 8 from the field in Thursday's game against Denver, limiting him to just 4 points off the bench. He had led the team with 23 points in their opener against Houston. Outlaw did manage 7 rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench. | Analysis: Outlaw's shot was off Thursday and he never got into a rhythm. Outlaw will continue to try to provide the team with an offensive presence off the bench and could make a strong start in Fantasy leagues when the right matchups arise. |
Outlaw leads team with 23 off bench
|
Updated 10/28/2009 |
| Travis Outlaw, SF POR | |
| News: Trail Blazers SF Travis Outlaw, who averaged 12.8 points per game mostly as a reserve last season, asserted himself off the bench in the season opener Tuesday against the Rockets. He led the team with 23 points on 9 of 14 shooting, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. He also had four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes. | Analysis: Outlaw should continue to offer points, rebounds and 3-pointers off the bench. His role keeps him from becoming a high-end Fantasy option, but you could do worse for a No. 4 Fantasy forward. He's probably a little under-owned at 30 percent. |
Outlaw to get a Fantasy boost?

Updated 10/26/2009 |
| Travis Outlaw, SF POR | |
| News: Portland Trail Blazers forward Nicolas Batum will undergo surgery on his right shoulder to repair torn cartilage. The team said Monday a return date will be determined after Friday's surgery in Los Angeles. His absence likely means Travis Outlaw or Martell Webster will start in his place. | Analysis: Batum appeared in 79 games as a rookie last season, starting 76. He averaged 5.4 points and 2.8 rebounds while earning praise for his defensive ability. He has no real Fantasy appeal even as a starter as most of the minutes at small forward go to Outlaw. Outlaw could be kept with the second unit because the team likes his presence off the bench, but he will remain the more important Fantasy option of the two. |

| News: Portland SF Travis Outlaw scored 15 points in a loss at Houston on Sunday. Outlaw came off the bench and shot 7-of-13 with a three and five rebounds. He added three assists. | Analysis: Outlaw is averaging 12 points, three boards, two dimes and less than one three per game over his last five contests. He played well Sunday but is far too inconsistent to use in anything but deeper Fantasy leagues. |
Outlaw plays with sprained pinky

| Travis Outlaw, SF POR | |
| News: Portland SF Travis Outlaw was able to play against the Suns on Thursday against the Suns despite spraining his pinky finger in Monday's game against Philadelphia. He came in off the bench as the team's sixth man While Nicolas Batum got the start over him. | Analysis: Outlaw was not really expected to miss any time due to the sprained pinky as the team is in the middle of a playoff run. He should continue getting 25-30 minutes on the floor and should be considered a No. 4 option in standard leagues. |
Outlaw goes back to the bench
|
Updated 3/24/2009 |
| Travis Outlaw, SF POR | |
| News: Portland's Nicolas Batum returned to the starting lineup Monday against Philadelphia after missing the past two games with a sprained left ankle. He played just 16 minutes and finished with five points, an assist and a rebound. Travis Outlaw returned to the bench and finished with just four points, two rebounds and an assist in 27 minutes. The Oregonian reports that Outlaw suffered a sprained right pinky finger in the game. | Analysis: Batum is not a very significant Fantasy player despite the fact that he is a starter on a team headed to the playoffs. He should not be inserted back in lineups even now that he is back and starting again, so leave him on waivers in all formats. Outlaw will still get good minutes (around 25-30 per game) off the bench as the team's sixth man. He is good for double-digit scoring on most nights even though he didn't have a good offensive game on Monday. View him as an option to start as a No. 4 forward in standard leagues. The pinky injury does not appear to be too serious at this point. |
Outlaw filling in as starter

| Travis Outlaw, SF POR | |
| News: The Oregonian reports that Nicolas Batum will not be activated for Saturday's game. It will be the second consecutive missed game after rolling the ankle in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game in Indiana. Coach Nate McMillan said Travis Outlaw will start in place of Batum. | Analysis: In Thursday's overtime loss in Cleveland, Outlaw had 17 points and seven rebounds in a career-high 47 minutes. This will be Outlaw's fifth start of the season. He is a player we often recommend off the waiver wire as someone who puts up consistent figures despite his role off the bench. He usually scores in the low to mid teens with a decent amount of rebounds and about a block and steal per contest. He is a good player to stash on your bench for use when the Blazers face favorable matchups -- starter or not. |

| News: Blazers foward Travis Outlaw had eight points and 12 rebounds Thursday at Golden State, but he went 3-for-14 from the floor for Portland. | Analysis: This was only Outlaw's second game of the season with double figures in rebounds, but he missed the double-double because of the poor shooting night. Still, he's playing well coming into the All-Star break and should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy option. |
Outlaw surging for Blazers

| Travis Outlaw, SF POR | |
| News: Blazers F Travis Outlaw had 21 points off the bench in Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City. He logged 36 minutes and also added three three pointers, four assists, two rebounds and two steals. He has scored at least 20 points in three straight games. | Analysis: Outlaw has made eight field goals in each of the three games and is getting upwards of 15 shots per game during his offensive upswing. He has now played 30-plus minutes in four straight games, but his role as the team's sixth man doesn't guarantee him this type of production on a long-term basis. He's hot at the moment and Fantasy owners should just look to ride that out as long as it lasts. |
Outlaw scoring at high level

| News: Portland SF Travis Outlaw played 31 minutes in his usual sixth man role on Sunday against the Knicks and scored 23 points. Outlaw hit on 2-of-4 threes and was 8-of-16 overall. | Analysis: Outlaw didn't do much else in the game with just two assists and two rebounds but his scoring makes him a nice option in 12-team and deeper Fantasy leagues. The Blazers play two games in Week 16 and have one of the best matchups of any team in the league in the shortened week. That makes Outlaw a possibility to start in even 10-team leagues for this one-week period of time. |
