News: Nets reserve forward Jerry Stackhouse was back on the floor in the team's season finale Wednesday, after sitting out the team's previous game with a sore neck. Stackhouse played 14 minutes in the game, scoring six points on 2 of 4 shooting. He added two assists and two turnovers, in a 103-99 win.
Analysis: Stackhouse has been surprisingly useful at times this season, averaging 4.9 points per game in 36 appearances. But he has been more of a mentor than anything for Brooklyn, and at 38 years old it is not clear he has any intentions of coming back next season. He can be safely ignored in all Fantasy formats on Draft Day next season.
News: Nets guard Jerry Stackhouse was ruled out for Monday's game against the Wizards due to a stiff neck. He is being listed as day to day with his injury, reports the team's official website.
Analysis: Stackhouse has taken on more of mentoring role with the Nets this season as he has only appeared in 36 games. He has already come out and said that this year will be his last, so owners can continue to ignore the veteran in all formats at this time.
News: Brooklyn guard Jerry Stackhouse said Friday he will likely retire after the season in order to pursue a role with the NBA Players Association, FOXSports.com reports. Stackhouse is averaging just 4.5 points per game as a deep reserve for the Nets during his 18th season in the league. "I’m always going to be part of the game in some capacity," the 38-year-old said. "I’m a basketball lifer. I got a Ph.D in it."
Analysis: With his best days clearly behind him, Stackhouse has bounced around the league recently and has played for five different teams the past five years. He is hardly the solid scoring threat he was earlier in his career with Philadelphia and then Detroit and has failed to exceed 10 points per game since the 2007-08 campaign. Fantasy owners should leave him off rosters as he looks to start a new phase in his distinguished career.

Analysis: At 38, Stackhouse is not a key part of the Nets' rotation and has failed to surpass 15 minutes of playing time since the calendar flipped to January. He is unlikely to reach 40 games played for the third consecutive season and should continue to be ignored in all Fantasy formats.

That said, his Fantasy value remains quite low.
News: Brooklyn guard Jerry Stackhouse returned to the court Friday night against Washington after missing Wednesday's game at Oklahoma City due to a sore right hamstring.

He also added a lone rebound while logging 14 minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Stackhouse does not see the court enough to make much of an impact. In fact, he has not scored in double figures since Dec. 1. He is averaging roughly 5-6 shots per game and is shooting under 38 percent from the field this season. Continue to ignore him in all Fantasy formats at this point.

News: Nets guard Jerry Stackhouse was ruled out of Wednesday's game at Oklahoma City because of a sore right hamstring, reports the team's official website. The veteran is being considered day to day at this point.
Analysis: Stackhouse missed some time in December with a knee injury and clearly durability issues will likely plague the 38-year-old guard deep into his NBA career. He is averaging 16.8 minutes per game when healthy, but clearly he is far more important to his real team than Fantasy owners.
News: Nets guard Jerry Stackhouse returned to action Sunday against the 76ers after missing five consecutive games with a nagging right knee issue.

He also added an assist and a steal in 13 minutes of game action.

Analysis: Stackhouse continues to be plagued by soreness in his right knee and has now missed over a week's worth of games because of it.

News: Nets guard Jerry Stackhouse (knee) was not ready to play Wednesday at New York as his troublesome knee continues to plague him and keep him out. Stackhouse is day to day right now for the Nets. He has missed five straight games.
Analysis: Stackhouse has appeared in only 14 games this season as the aging veteran remains a bench player for the Nets. But he is actually receiving decent playing time with his eighth NBA team, logging 18 minutes a game. Still, his value is limited to category-based Fantasy formats for his accuracy from downtown.
News: Brooklyn guard Jerry Stackhouse was ruled out for Tuesday's game against Utah as he continues to be bothered by a troublesome knee issue. It's the fourth consecutive game Stackhouse has missed as a result of a sore right knee and there is no timetable for his return.
Analysis: Stackhouse has appeared in only 14 games this season as the aging veteran remains a bench player for the Nets.

News: Nets guard Jerry Stackhouse was held out of Friday's contest against the Pistons due to a sore right knee. Stackhouse, who is averaging 6.8 points and 1.2 rebounds on the year, will also likely be held out of Brooklyn's contest against the Bulls Saturday night, according to coach Avery Johnson.
Analysis: Stackhouse is 38-year-old, which means it usually takes him a bit longer to recover from injuries than some of his younger teammates. While his injury is not being considered serious, it will likely cost him the rest of Fantasy Week 7 (Dec. 10-16). Despite shooting 42.9 percent from downtown this season, Stackhouse doesn't hold much value outside of deeper category-based formats at this point in the season.
News: Brooklyn guard Jerry Stackhouse was on the same court with Rasheed Wallace on Monday night in a game against the Knicks. Stackhouse was the better player on this night as he came off the bench for 22 minutes and scored 14 points in the overtime win for the Nets. Stackhouse shot 4 of 6 from the field and hit four 3-pointers in the game. He added a rebound and an assist.
Analysis: Stackhouse has five 3-pointers in his last five games and four of them came on Monday night. He turned back the clock Monday against the Knicks, but isn't expected to play at that level consistently. Stackhouse has low-end Fantasy value at this time.
News: The Nets signed Jerry Stackhouse Wednesday. Stackhouse has been in the NBA since 1996 and is 37 years old.
Analysis: Stackhouse played in 30 games last year for Atlanta and averaged minimal statistics over 9.1 minutes per game. We expect he'll see even less playing time with the Nets. He has low-end Fantasy value.
News: Hawks guard Jerry Stackhouse has returned to the team and is probable to play on Wednesday against the Bobcats. Stackhouse missed Saturday's game due to a family emergency.
Analysis: Stackhouse remains one of the last players off the bench for the Hawks in this his age-37 season. Continue to ignore him in all formats at this point in the year.

News: The Hawks report that guard Jerry Stackhouse missed practice on Monday with a stomach ailment, but he did travel with the team to Indiana for Tuesday's game.
Analysis: Even if Stackhouse does play against the Pacers on Tuesday he still has minimal Fantasy value. Ignore him in the majority of leagues even when healthy.

Analysis: The 37-year-old Stackhouse scored eight points in 23 minutes on Friday against the Bucks but totaled just zero points and five assists over 20 minutes in the team's last game on Saturday. Stackhouse has low-end Fantasy value, when healthy.
News: Hawks G Jerry Stackhouse scored his first points since Feb. 2 on Sunday, putting up seven in just nine minutes as the Hawks lost to the Heat.

Analysis: Stackhouse remains one of the last players off the bench for the Hawks in this his age-37 season. He only played Sunday because the game was well out of hand. Stackhouse has appeared in just 12 games this season and should not be owned in any Fantasy leagues.
News: Hawks G Jerry Stackhouse has been seeing more playing time as of late, appearing in three of the team’s last four games, including on Wednesday night against the Spurs. However, despite appearing in these contests, he still has barely played any minutes, seeing just six on Wednesday. However he did play well in his limited time, making 2 of 4 shots, including a three pointer, while grabbing two rebounds, an assist, and a block in the 105-83 loss.
Analysis: Stackhouse remains one of the last players off the bench for the Hawks in this his age-37 season. He only played Wednesday because the game was well out of hand, entering the game with 5 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and trailing by 21. Stackhouse has appeared in just 7 of 19 games this season and should not be owned in any Fantasy leagues.
News: Hawks G Jerry Stackhouse, who signed with the club in the offseason for his 18th NBA season, scored his first points of the season on Wednesday night, putting in eight points in seven minutes as the Hawks lost 96-84. The 37-year old was two-of-four from the field, made his only three-point attempt of the night, and was perfect on three attempts from the free-throw line. He also added a rebound and an assist playing through the end of the fourth quarter in a blowout.
Analysis: Stackhouse had played in just two of the Hawks’ previous 10 games and is clearly one of, if not the, last men off the bench for coach Larry Drew. The former 29-points-per-game scorer has no value in any Fantasy league at this time.
News: Atlanta added veteran SG Jerry Stackhouse to an unguaranteed contract on Friday. Stackhouse is no guarantee to see much time in games for the Hawks.
Analysis: At age 36, Stackhouse is nothing more than a journeyman who doesn't contribute consistently enough to make an impact in Fantasy. Leave him on waivers.
News: The Heat waived SG Jerry Stackhouse on Tuesday. Stackhouse averaged 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds in seven games.
Analysis: At age 36, Stackhouse is nothing more than a journeyman who doesn't contribute consistently enough to make an impact in Fantasy. Leave him on waivers.
News: Heat guard Jerry Stackhouse got his first start of the season on Saturday as he filled in for the injured Dwyane Wade. Wade hurt his wrist in Friday's game with Charlotte after he took a charge. Stackhouse entered Saturday averaging 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds per contest.
Analysis: Stackhouse was signed to fill in for the injured Mike Miller this season and hasn't played much since signing with the team. Despite getting this start, Stackhouse is not worth adding in any Fantasy format. Continue to ignore the veteran.
News: Heat guard Jerry Stackhouse was active and saw five minutes of game time in Wednesday's game against Philadelphia. Stackhouse was inactive for the opener but he scored two points against the 76ers. Both his points came on free throws as he went 0 for 1 from the field. He added a rebound and an assist.
Analysis: Stackhouse is an older gentleman and his minutes will be severely limited for the Heat. Until that changes -- and we doubt very much that it will -- Stackhouse has no Fantasy value.
News: Veteran guard Jerry Stackhouse has joined the Miami Heat one day after the NBA championship hopefuls learned they'll be without injured swingman Mike Miller until possibly January. The Heat announced Stackhouse's signing Saturday. Miami is Stackhouse's sixth NBA club. Stackhouse, who turns 36 next month, averaged 8.5 points in 42 games as a reserve for the Milwaukee Bucks last season. Stackhouse said during the summer that he wanted a chance to join LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, believing it would give him the best chance at winning his first NBA title. Wade and James said they would welcome Stackhouse if the Heat made a deal.
Analysis: Stackhouse signing with the Heat is great news for him as he goes after his first championship. Unfortunately his quest won't help out Fantasy owners much this season. He'll be a role player off the bench and not see enough minutes to be an impact player in Fantasy. He should only be an option in the deepest of leagues. His career numbers are: 30.7 percent from downtown, 82.1 percent from the foul line and 40.9 percent from the field.
News: Bucks guard Jerry Stackhouse had a nice game over 23 minutes on the court Wednesday in a loss to Philadelphia. Stackhouse shot 3 for 9 from the field and went 1 for 6 from 3-point land to score 15 points. He added two steals and a blocked shot.
Analysis: Stackhouse can make some solid contributions for the Bucks but is no longer an everyday Fantasy weapon outside of the deepest of leagues. He only totaled 16 points in his previous four games before Wednesday.
News:The Sports Xchange notes that Bucks G Jerry Stackhouse has been in a mini-shooting slump. The veteran swingman went 1-for-6 against the Kings Friday night and has connected on just 13-of-39 shots in his last five games -- 33 percent.
Analysis: Stackhouse has been inconsistent throughout the season and is not playing well off the bench for the Bucks. At this point, he only has value in the deepest of Fantasy leagues.
News: Bucks G Jerry Stackhouse had 20 points in 24 minutes off the bench Sunday against Indiana. He shot 4 of 6 from beyond the arc. He had scored a combined 15 points in his previous three games.
Analysis: Stackhouse got hot Sunday and parlayed that into 20 points. Don't get too excited. He will remain an erratic option as long as he continues to play off the Bucks' bench and is not an advisable Fantasy option unless he somehow manages to back it up.
News: Milwaukee G Jerry Stackhouse (hamstring) returned to the lineup on Friday and scored just three points in 13 minutes against the Jazz. Stackhouse shot 1 of 5 from the field while adding an assist and rebound.
Analysis: Stackhouse is averaging just seven points in his last five contest. He remains a Fantasy option in only the deepest of leagues.
News: Bucks forward Jerry Stackhouse sat out Tuesday against the Celtics because of a left hamstring strain. He is day to day.
Analysis: Stackhouse had been hitting his stride for Milwaukee of late, averaging 12.2 points and over a 3-pointer per game over his last five. Hopefully he doesn't miss too much time. Still, he's only viable in the deepest of Fantasy leagues.
News: Bucks G Jerry Stackhouse scored a new high since being traded to the Bucks, scoring 20 points in a loss to the Hawks on Sunday. Stackhouse shot 7 of 14 from the floor while adding four rebounds and an assist. He has now scored in double figures in four consecutive contests.
Analysis: It seems as if Stackhouse is finding his groove in Milwaukee. He has averaged 12.6 points over his last five games and has shown signs of improvement in his last two scoring 16 and 20 points. If he continues to play at this level, he can be used as a No. 4 Fantasy guard.
News: Milwaukee G Jerry Stackhouse scored 16 points, including four 3's in a win over Miami on Saturday. Stackhouse shot 6 of 10 from the floor while adding three rebounds and a block in 25 minutes. It was Stackhouse's third consecutive game in double figures and his highest scoring out put as a Buck.
Analysis: Stackhouse hasn't exactly been setting the league on fire since joining the Bucks. He is averaging just nine points since the trade and has scored in double figures just four times in seven games. However, Stackhouse still has the ability to put up performances like the one on Saturday. He provides Fantasy value in deeper leagues.
News: Bucks SG Jerry Stackhouse scored 11 points Thursday against the Pacers, his third double-figure output in his last five games. In 24 minutes, he shot 4 of 10 from the field, 2 of 4 from downtown, adding three rebounds.
Analysis: Despite the addition of John Salmons, Stackhouse has remained in the Bucks' rotation, and is actually producing. In the five games since Salmons joined the team, Stackhouse is averaging 9.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists while playing 20.2 minutes, scoring in double figures three times. He remains a viable Fantasy option in deeper leagues.
News: Bucks guard Jerry Stackhouse scored in double figures in just his third game back to the NBA on Saturday against Minnesota. Seeing 28 minutes, his most time on the court in his three games back, the veteran out of North Carolina scored 14 points on 6 of 12 shooting. He missed all three three-point attempts but added five assists, three rebounds and two steals.
Analysis: Stackhouse is averaging 22 minutes per game in his three games with the Bucks but is seeing more and more each time out. They are giving him freedom to shoot and pass the ball and as long as he gets playing time, it appears he's going to produce. Stackhouse is definitely worth picking up in the deeper leagues immediately.
News: Bucks SG Jerry Stackhouse played his first game with his new team on Wednesday in a win over Toronto. The veteran out of North Carolina struggled with his shot and went 1 for 5 from the field. His lone make was a three and he finished with three points. He added five rebounds and four assists over 17 minutes.
Analysis: Stackhouse is only going to be viable in the deepest of Fantasy leagues but owners in those leagues need to take notice of his five boards and four assists Wednesday. If he can do that and score a little, he'll be a great late-season waiver-wire pickup.
News: Bucks G Jerry Stackhouse says he'll be fresh and ready when he makes his debut Wednesday night. But the 15-year veteran forward isn't sure exactly what he'll be able to provide or how many minutes he'll play against Toronto. Stackhouse was limited by injuries and played only 10 games last year in Dallas before his contract was bought out following an offseason trade to Memphis. He says the contract he signed with the Bucks on Monday for the rest of the year is the right fit and beats spending any more time stuck in the carpool lane in traffic near his Atlanta home. The Bucks hope he'll add toughness and leadership. Stackhouse was a teammate of coach Scott Skiles and played under GM John Hammond when both were in Detroit.
Analysis: Stackhouse has the chance for increased playing time with the Bucks dealing with injuries at guard, especially with Michael Redd (knee) out for the season. But let Stackhouse play a few games first to see what his role will be with the team. If he starts to get increased touches and his production is at a high enough level then consider adding him, but only in deep formats. If his play continues at a consistent level then his value will rise.
News: The Bucks signed G-F Jerry Stackhouse for the rest of this season, and coach Scott Skiles said the two-time All-Star would be activated for Wednesday's game against Toronto. "We're not signing him to be on the inactive list," Skiles said. "We'll activate him right away, and get him in a game. That's our plan."
Analysis: Apparently the Bucks plan to play Stackhouse. We do not recommend picking him up in any Fantasy leagues just yet, though. Let him return to the court and prove worthy before grabbing him off waivers.
News: The Memphis Grizzlies waived Jerry Stackhouse, just a day after acquiring the NBA veteran in a four-team, eight-player trade. General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace announced the move Friday after Thursday's blockbuster deal involving the Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic.
Analysis: Stackhouse was included in the deal simply to make the money work. The Grizzlies clearly didn't have plans Stackhouse, who would likely only latch on somewhere as a role player at this stage in his career. Fantasy owners shouldn't be too worried about the veteran.
News:Shawn Marion is headed to the Dallas Mavericks, Jerry Stackhouse is going to the Memphis Grizzlies and Hedo Turkoglu is going to Toronto Raptors in a complex deal involving four teams. The deal, announced Thursday, involves five other players, a draft pick and cash. Among the other pieces: Forward Kris Humphries and center Nathan Jawai are going from Toronto to Dallas; guard Greg Buckner is going from Memphis to Dallas; and swingmen Antoine Wright and Devean George are going from Dallas to Toronto. Memphis also is getting a second-round pick and cash from Toronto. Orlando is getting cash from Dallas and Toronto in exchange for dealing Turkoglu.
Analysis: Stackhouse was be included in the deal simply to make the money work. The Grizzlies don't have plans to feature him prominently in their offense and Fantasy owners shouldn't be too worried about the veteran at this stage in his career.
News: The Dallas Mavericks, who have agreed to bring Jason Kidd back with a three-year, $25 million deal, are trying to work out a sign-and-trade with Toronto for Shawn Marion, CBSSports.com's Ken Berger has learned. Berger added that if Toronto and Dallas work out a deal, Jerry Stackhouse almost certainly would be headed to Toronto.
Analysis: Stackhouse would be included in the deal simply to make the money work. The Raptors wouldn't have plans to feature him prominently in their offense and Fantasy owners shouldn't be too worried about the veteran at this stage in his career.
News: Mavs G Jerry Stackhouse, bothered by a foot injury all season, left San Antonio on Sunday for personal reasons. Stackhouse watched Game 1 in a suit on the bench and isn't expected to see any action in the playoffs.
Analysis: Stackhouse is likely done as a quality Fantasy option and could even consider retirement at this point. He has minimal value if he returns next season and should not be drafted in any leagues.
News: Dallas SG Jerry Stackhouse did not play in Game 2 of the Western Conference quarterfinals against the Spurs and is unlikely to play in the series. Stackhouse has been out since mid November with a foot injury.
Analysis: Stackhouse is likely not going to return for the playoffs even should Dallas advance by San Antonio and into the second round. He's been out since November and isn't a part of the Mavericks' run to the playoffs. He was once a Fantasy force but is not worth anything whatsoever anymore.
News: The Dallas Morning News reports that Jerry Stackhouse (foot) was re-examined by Dr. T.O. Souryal on Saturday. There is still no timetable for his return.
Analysis: Stackhouse sat out three months starting in mid-November because of severe foot pain. He tried to come back last month but in retrospect admits that probably was a mistake. For now, keep Stackhouse reserved in all leagues. His best days are behind him, and he will be a reserve for the Mavericks even with Josh Howard (ankle) out.
News: The Dallas Morning News reports Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse said Wednesday that he will rejoin the team Thursday. That doesn't mean Stackhouse will be in uniform Friday against Golden State. But he said his right foot that has been beset by plantar fasciitis feels much better now than it did last month when he played two games and had to go back on the shelf because of lingering pain. "It's time for me to get back in the gym with the guys," Stackhouse said. "That's not saying I'm going to play Friday. But I'm definitely coming along pretty well. I'm better than I was the last time, for sure."
Analysis: Stackhouse sat out three months starting in mid-November because of severe foot pain. He tried to come back last month but in retrospect admits that probably was a mistake. For now, keep Stackhouse reserved in all leagues. His best days are behind him, and he will be a reserve for the Mavericks even with Josh Howard (ankle) out.
News: The Dallas Morning News reports Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse's comeback has been put on hold. Stackhouse isn't satisfied with how his foot has responded since his return from a three-month layoff. He met with coach Rick Carlisle on Monday and it was decided he would be deactivated for more time to recover. Stackhouse opened the season and played until Nov. 14 when the pain from plantar fasciitis and a bone spur in his heel became too great. He missed 45 games and returned four days ago against Houston. Stackhouse failed to score and was 0-of-5 from the field in his two games. He played a total of 21 minutes and was never comfortable, saying he was tentative on the court.
Analysis: Stackhouse had an opportunity for playing time with Jason Terry (hand) out, but it appears like he can't play. Don't bother with Stackhouse in any Fantasy leagues at this time. His best days are behind him.
News: Dallas G Jerry Stackhouse was activated for Friday's game against the Rockets after missing three months with a right foot injury. He didn't score in nine minutes of action.
Analysis: Stackhouse has played in only eight games this season and has been out since scoring two points in a loss to Orlando on Nov. 14. Dallas needs some scoring punch off the bench after Jason Terry broke a bone in his left hand Feb. 7. Terry is the Mavs' second-leading scorer, averaging 19.9 points per game. Stackhouse will hopefully provide some of that scoring punch. Wait for him to shake the rust off, but he may become viable once again.
News: The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Jerry Stackhouse participated in Friday's morning shootaround and said he hopes to get some playing time Friday night against Houston. Stackhouse has been out since mid-November with a sore right foot. "It feels a lot better," Stackhouse said.
Analysis: If Stack is active, he should get a few minutes. He has missed the majority of the season and will have some rust to shake off before Fantasy owners can consider him a viable option, though.
News: The Dallas Morning reports that Jerry Stackhouse will be active for Friday's game in Houston. President Donnie Nelson said during his post-trade-deadline press briefing that Stackhouse would "be back tomorrow, which will be real important for us."
Analysis: The report added that doesn't necessarily mean Stackhouse is ready to play, but if he's active, he should get a few minutes. He has missed the majority of the season and will have some rust to shake off before Fantasy owners can consider him a viable option.
News: Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse went through a full practice Tuesday but did not play in Wednesday night's game against New Jersey. Coach Rick Carlisle said Stackhouse is "making gradual progress, but I don't have a timetable yet."
Analysis: Keep an eye on Stackhouse's progress and hope he can return soon. When healthy, Stackhouse has minimal Fantasy value, but he could be a good stopgap option when he returns as long as Jason Terry (broken hand) is out.
News: The Dallas Morning News reports that Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse went through a full practice Tuesday but is not expected to be in uniform Wednesday night against New Jersey. Coach Rick Carlisle said Stackhouse is "making gradual progress, but I don't have a timetable yet."
Analysis: Keep an eye on Stackhouse's progress and hope he can return soon. When healthy, Stackhouse has minimal Fantasy value, but he could be a good stopgap option when he returns as long as Jason Terry (broken hand) is out.
News: The Dallas Morning News reports Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday that Jerry Stackhouse would not be activated for Thursday's game against Boston. Stackhouse had hoped to use that game as a testing ground for his foot injury that has kept him out since mid-November. Instead, the Mavericks will monitor his improvement through the next week and Carlisle said when Stackhouse is comfortable with his conditioning and his health, a decision on when to get him back into action will be made. "I don't know the timetable," Carlisle said. "But he's making progress. I don't know that he's close. But if he comes to me after the break and says he's ready, then we'll be talking."
Analysis: Keep an eye on Stackhouse's progress and hope he can return soon after the break. He could be a useful Fantasy reserve at guard if he plays well, especially with Jason Terry out with a broken hand.
News: The Mavericks might have the perfect answer for Jason Terry's broken hand -- the return of Jerry Stackhouse. The Dallas Morning News reports Stackhouse has been targeting Thursday's game against Boston for his return after nearly three months of rehabilitating a foot injury. The Mavericks will know more about Stackhouse's status after they see how he recovers from practice Monday.
Analysis: Keep an eye on Stackhouse's progress and hope he can return this week. He could be a useful Fantasy reserve at guard if he plays well, and now we know he'll get minutes with Terry out.
News: The Dallas Morning News reports that Jerry Stackhouse hopes to return in the next week for the team's final game before the All-Star break. Stackhouse said earlier this season that he wanted to be traded to a team with a bigger role for him, but a conversation Stackhouse had with Rick Carlisle last week seems to have changed his mind. "It changed my whole mind-set of what I was thinking," Stackhouse said. "I just wasn't comfortable with what was being said early on about using me in certain matchups and certain games. As a competitor, I just wasn't ready to accept that."
Analysis: Stackhouse said that he feels like that if he is healthy, he should play. Apparently, he and coach Carlisle have cleared the air and Stack is ready to return to the Mavs' rotation. The report adds that the team has scrapped the motion offense that was not a good fit for Stackhouse earlier in the season, returning to a half-court offense which is what Stackhouse loves to play in. Monitor his progress. The veteran had some low-end potential as a No. 4 forward for the second half if he gets back into the mix in Dallas.
News: Mavericks swingman Jerry Stackhouse missed his 17th straight game Sunday at Washington with a right foot injury. "It's a little more serious than I originally thought," Stackhouse said. "I can't run or jump." Neither Stackhouse nor coach Rick Carlisle ventured a guess on when he might return.
Analysis: Stackhouse is on the trade block and said he believes he can thrive elsewhere, as he once did in Dallas, as a potent sixth man. Although his contract status, virtually an expiring contract, is favorable for a trade, his value is murky because he remains mired in a deep shooting freeze (29.1 percent overall) and bothered by a heel injury. Don't bother with him in Fantasy for now.
News: Mavericks G Jerry Stackhouse said his agent is exploring options for him to depart Dallas, possibly through a buyout or trade, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Stackhouse has become disillusioned with his diminished role just 10 games into the season, wants to rediscover happiness somewhere else. "The key part is there's really no conflict with us," Stackhouse said Monday of him and coach Rick Carlisle. "It's understood that it's his job to coach the team, but it's my job to protect my future. I've got to have some say-so and dictate with the role that I'm kind of in now, that I'm ready to accept that. I don't think I'm ready to fully accept that at this point."

News: According to The Sports Xchange, Mavericks G/F Jerry Stackhouse was inactive for Sunday's game at New York, a decision made by coach Rick Carlisle, and one not based on health. "He was just inactive," Carlisle said. "I talked to him (Sunday) morning about it. I'm going to talk to him (Monday) and see about the next game. It's fine, it was matchups, some other stuff, but it's not a big deal."
Analysis: Stackhouse's role becomes more and more limited at age 34, and the Mavericks' decision to deactivate him Sunday might become commonplace. Don't bother with Stackhouse in Fantasy.
News: Mavericks G/F Jerry Stackhouse, who didn't play Monday because of a foot problem, led the team with 18 minutes off the bench Tuesday at San Antonio. He shot 1-for-5 from the field, finishing with three points and one rebound.
Analysis: The three points represented a season high for Stackhouse, and his role becomes more and more limited at age 34. Don't bother with him in Fantasy.
News: Mavericks G/F Jerry Stackhouse didn't play Monday against the Cavaliers. Coach Rick Carlisle said Stackhouse is battling a foot problem.
Analysis: Stackhouse scored two points in each of his first two games, and his role becomes more and more limited at age 34. Don't bother with him in Fantasy.
News: The Dallas Morning News notes that Jerry Stackhouse has replaced Antoine Wright as the starting shooting guard in Dallas for now. Wright started the opener and Stackhouse played 18 minutes coming off the bench on Thursday against the Rockets.
Analysis: This figures to be a revolving door all season, but it really does not matter who starts anyway as Jason Terry figures to get the majority of the minutes there. Continue to view Stackhouse and Wright as very low-end Fantasy options.
News: Dallas SG Jerry Stackhouse played 18 minutes coming off the bench on Thursday against the Rockets. Stackhouse played behind an ineffective Antoine Wright but was also pretty bad for the Mavs. He finished with two points on 1-of-6 shooting.
Analysis: If Dallas chose to start Wright over Stackhouse that obviously means he won't play a huge role with the team this season. That makes him a low-end Fantasy guard, at best, and not worthy of starting in most weeks.
News: The Mavericks are one of the nine NBA teams in Week 1 to play just two games. They will start of the season on Oct. 30 against Houston, who ranked fourth in the NBA in defense last season (92.0 ppg). Then, they'll travel to Minnesota to face Minnesota to face a Timberwolves team that allowed 102.4 points per game. The good news is that the team enters the season at full strength.
Analysis: The team's prominent trio of Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howar and Dirk Nowitzki are good starts in most leagues this week because the condensed schedule means no team is playing more than three games anyway. Jason Terry will come off the bench behind Antoine Wright, but Terry is the better Fantasy option because he will get the majority of the minutes there. Wright is worth owning in larger leagues because he is going to get a good amount of minutes, but is not yet worth activating. Erick Dampier will be the starting center and, as usual, his appeal is limited in Fantasy to that of a No. 3 center. It's not time yet to start fringe options like Brandon Bass, Jerry Stackhouse, Jose Juan Barea, DeSagana Diop, Shawne Williams or Gerald Green. At the moment, Barea is the only player of that group worth owning as Kidd's backup.
News: Mavericks F Jerry Stackhouse (groin) was able to play in the regular-season finale Wednesday against New Orleans. He logged 16 minutes off the bench and scored four points with three rebounds.
Analysis: Stackhouse appeared in 58 games during the regular season, averaging 10.7 points, 2.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds. It was his lowest scoring average of his 13-year NBA career and points to a decline in his overall production. Fantasy owners should only target him as a fifth forward next season, to be useful as an occasional stopgap, nothing more.
News:Jerry Stackhouse was inactive with a sore groin Sunday night at Seattle, but head coach Avery Johnson said Stackhouse will practice on Tuesday and play in Dallas' regular-season finale Wednesday against New Orleans.
Analysis: Stackhouse has been practicing with the team and was a possibility to play on Sunday. However, with the Mavericks gearing up for a playoff run, there is no need to rush him back. The team would like to see him get back into some type of game shape Wednesday against the Hornets.
News: The Mavs were still without Jerry Stackhouse Saturday night at Portland because of a right groin strain, although he has practiced and could return Sunday night at Seattle.
Analysis: Stackhouse had played well in the absence of Dirk Nowitzki, averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. However, Nowitzki is already back on the court and Stackhouse isn't. Meaning, as long as Dirk stays healthy, it's back to the bench for Stack. He is normally a low-end Fantasy forward when healthy.
News: Mavericks coach Avery Johnson expects F Jerry Stackhouse (right groin strain) to return to full-contact practice by the end of the week. Stackhouse participated in the team shootaround Tuesday morning and has had some non-contact practice. "He did OK," Johnson said. "I hope he can return to full-contact by Friday."
Analysis: Stackhouse had played well in the absence of Dirk Nowitzki, averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. However, Nowitzki is already back on the court and Stackhouse isn't. Meaning, as long as Dirk stays healthy, it's back to the bench for Stack. He is normally a low-end Fantasy forward when healthy.
News: Dallas was without Jerry Stackhouse, who has a groin injury, Wednesday against the Warriors. Head coach Avery Johnson said Stackhouse had an MRI and would be out at least a week, maybe 10 days. "It's a tough break for us because we thought he was playing some of his best basketball," Johnson said. "He was passing the ball really well, shooting it pretty good. He had some pretty good games for us." Stackhouse missed his third straight game.
Analysis: Stackhouse had played well in the absence of Dirk Nowitzki, averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. However, Nowitzki returned to the lineup Wednesday and Stackhouse didn't. Meaning, as long as Dirk stays healthy, it's back to the bench for Stack. He is normally a low-end Fantasy forward when healthy.
News: Mavericks G/F Jerry Stackhouse missed his second straight game Monday at the Clippers with a strained right groin.
Analysis: Stackhouse had played well in the absence of Dirk Nowitzki, averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. If he can beat Dirk back to the lineup, he's worth using as a No. 4 Fantasy guard or forward.
News: Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse missed the game for Dallas on Sunday with a strained right groin.
Analysis: Keep an eye on what happens with Stackhouse and hope he is OK. When healthy, Stackhouse is a solid Fantasy option as long as Dirk Nowitzki (knee) is out.
News: Mavericks forward Jerry Stackhouse went for 20 points, three assists and one rebound Tuesday against the Clippers.
Analysis: Stackhouse will look to help fill the scoring void with Dirk Nowitzki sidelined with a knee injury. If Stackhouse is available, add him in all scoring formats and hope for more outings like this.
News: Mavericks F Jerry Stackhouse remained in the starting lineup Sunday against San Antonio. He scored 19 points with four rebounds and was 3-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Analysis: Stackhouse has hit three treys in back-to-back games and could be in line for a bit of a Fantasy boost, considering Dirk Nowitzki is expected to miss at least two weeks with an ankle injury. Think about adding Stackhouse off the waiver wire as a stopgap.
News: Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse opened in the starting lineup against New Jersey, the 19th different opening five used by the Mavs this season. Jason Terry is coming off the bench for the first time since Feb. 20 after making eight straight starts. Avery Johnson had recently tabbed Terry the permanent starter with Jason Kidd, reports the Sports Xchange. Stackhouse's inclusion as the starting shooting guard could end up being permanent depending on the results.
Analysis: Stackhouse should get a boost now that he's a starter, but don't get overexcited. He's still the fifth option at best behind Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Josh Howard and Jason Terry. For now, consider Stackhouse a low-end Fantasy option.
News: Mavericks F Jerry Stackhouse shot 3-for-8 from the field in Thursday's loss to Houston, finishing with 11 points in 23 minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Stackhouse had scored just 6 points combined over his last two games, so this is not enough for us to recommend him from a Fantasy standpoint just yet. Just monitor his playing time for now.
News: Mavericks F Jerry Stackhouse had 7 points with a rebound in 20 minutes off the bench Thursday at San Antonio. He shot 3-for-8 from the field and 1-for-3 from beyond the arc.
Analysis: Stackhouse is a player that could emerge as the team's sixth man if they insist on using Jason Terry as a starting shooting guard now. He had 23 points in his previous game, but still appears to be too inconsistent to rely upon as anything more than a Fantasy stopgap.
News: Mavericks G/F Jerry Stackhouse scored 23 points -- his most since Dec. 6 -- in 23 minutes off the bench Monday against the Bulls. He shot 7-for-11 from the floor, including 3-for-5 from 3-point range.
Analysis: Stackhouse hadn't even scored in double figures in his last five games. He's battled injuries lately, but if he doesn't put up the numbers, he doesn't put up the numbers. Think of him as a low-end Fantasy option.
News: Mavericks G Jerry Stackhouse played 19 minutes against Memphis and had no problem with his right hamstring. Stackhouse had eight points and followed that up with another eight points in 18 minutes at Minnesota on Sunday. "It was good to get back out there," he said. "It's been a while." Avery Johnson will watch Stackhouse's progress closely. "The last time he played, we regressed," Johnson said. "But he's been stronger this time than he was last time, so hopefully, we won't have any setbacks."
Analysis: Keep an eye on how Stackhouse does over the next few games and hope he returns at 100 percent. When healthy, he is worth using as a No. 4 Fantasy option.
News: Dallas G/F Jerry Stackhouse, who missed five straight games with a hamstring injury, entered Friday's game at Memphis in the first quarter. He finished with eight points in 19 minutes off the bench.
Analysis: Stackhouse had missed 12 of the previous 13 games with the injury, so hopefully, he's up to speed now. The team has discussed possibly starting him at shooting guard, but until they do, think of him as a low-end Fantasy option.
News:The Dallas Morning News reports the Mavericks are tinkering with several ideas at shooting guard, including several players. Devean George started in the team's first game with Jason Kidd, but head coach Avery Johnson will consider using Eddie Jones, Jason Terry or Jerry Stackhouse as well until he finds a good combination. "We did it during the course of the game [Wednesday night], and we're going to continue doing it," Johnson said. "That's part of the whole process of tinkering with the lineup a little bit; seeing who works well together and who works well together coming off the bench."
Analysis: George started at shooting guard in the team's first game with Jason Kidd and there wasn't exactly magic in the air between the two players. Stackhouse is still dealing with a hamstring injury, but sounds like he could return soon. At this time, it's best to keep him reserved in Fantasy until his situation becomes clearer and he proves productive.
News: Mavs SF Jerry Stackhouse (hamstring) did not return to the lineup Wednesday against the Hornets. He has now missed the last five games and remains questionable for Friday against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Stackhouse was originally part of a trade that would have sent him to New Jersey, but thanks to a Devean George veto, he remains with the Mavs. He might see some extra PT off the bench when healthy, but still has limited Fantasy value.
News: It appears the Jason Kidd-to-Dallas deal is back on again, although in a trade that's slightly different than originally arranged. The new deal -- as reported by various media outlets Sunday night, all citing anonymous sources -- has Kidd and forward Malik Allen going to Dallas for point guard Devin Harris, center DeSagana Diop and swingman Maurice Ager, plus a few new pieces: retired forward Keith Van Horn and Trenton Hassell. Van Horn and Hassell replace Jerry Stackhouse and Devean George. New Jersey also will get two first-round draft picks and $3 million.
Analysis: The reconfigured proposal is expected to be offered for league approval Monday. This deal seemed done earlier last week until George whacked it. Stackhouse's talk of being bought out and re-signing with the Mavs also didn't sit well with league officials. The good news, from a Fantasy standpoint, is that Stackhouse now won't have to sit out a month and can return to action whenever he gets over his hamstring injury. As it stands, he is day to day.
News: Nets president Rod Thorn said he's not very optimistic the Jason KiddJason Kidd deal to Dallas will happen, according to the New York Post. In an interview from New Orleans, Thorn said, "Right now I'm not very optimistic about something transpiring unless something happens that I'm not expecting." The deal, if completed, would send George, Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, DeSagana Diop and Maurice Ager to New Jersey.
Analysis: It appears that Stackhouse will get his wish to stay in Dallas after all, but he may be part of the reason the deal doesn't get done. His comments after the deal was initially was announced saying that he'd be back in Dallas after a buyout in a month have been cited as a roadblock. The good news for him from a Fantasy standpoint is that he wouldn't have to sit out a month. In either case, he's not a player that should be activated this week.
News:The Dallas Morning News reports that the proposed Jason Kidd trade to the Mavericks will not be completed until at least Monday -- if at all. Devean George, the player who is holding up the deal because he is exercising his right to revoke a deal that would cost him his "Early Bird rights", has yet to change his mind. "There is nothing really new at this point," said Mark Bartelstein, who represents George. The deal, if completed, would send George, Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, DeSagana Diop and Maurice Ager to New Jersey.
Analysis: It still sounds to us that the seven-player deal will get done in some way, shape or form and that Kidd will be a able to join the Mavs. As for Stackhouse, he's in a totally different holding pattern. He expects to get bought out if a deal were to get done, allowing him to go back to the Mavericks in a month's time. That means he could be on the verge of missing the next month, but he could use the time to recover from a hamstring injury.
News: The New Jersey Nets have agreed to send Jason Kidd and Malik Allen to Dallas for Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, DeSagana Diop, Devean George, Maurice Ager, two first-round picks and $3 million, sources have told Tony Mejia of CBSSports.com. The deal is reportedly being held up due to the fact George is exercising a no-trade clause.
Analysis: Stackhouse, trade or no trade, is expected to remain in Dallas. Even if a trade does get done, Stackhouse said Wednesday that he expects to get bought out. If that happens, though, he would be able to return to Dallas only after 30 days pass. That means he could be on the verge of missing the next month. Stay tuned.
News: Dallas Mavericks forward Jerry Stackhouse and center Erick Dampier missed Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers because of injuries.
Analysis: Stackhouse returned to the Mavericks' lineup on Friday after missing seven games, but his right hamstring did not feel good and coach Avery Johnson decided not to risk further injury. He should be reserved until further notice. He's a low-end Fantasy starter when healthy.
News: Dallas Mavericks forward Jerry Stackhouse missed Sunday's game against the New Jersey Nets because of a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Stackhouse returned to the Mavericks' lineup on Friday after missing seven games, but his right hamstring did not feel good and coach Avery Johnson decided not to risk further injury. He should be reserved for the upcoming scoring period.
News: Mavericks G/F Jerry Stackhouse played Friday against the Grizzlies, but he tweaked his sore right hamstring in his return after missing seven games because of the injury. "I wanted to get out there and test it, and it's not where I want it to be," Stackhouse said. "It was good to get some minutes. Today was a trial, a test. ... I'm not feeling as great as I would like." Stackhouse had seven points and three assists in his 11 minutes, including a slam dunk. It wasn't obvious when he hurt himself, but he didn't play after halftime.
Analysis: When asked if Stackhouse was OK, coach Avery Johnson said the veteran forward was and that the second-half sitdown was planned. But Stackhouse was obviously dejected. "Biology is biology. I've got to let it heal," Stackhouse said, without elaborating on if he'll miss more games. "The important time for us is going to be May and June. I want to be ready June." Because Stackhouse doesn't have high-end Fantasy value, go ahead and play it safe with him in daily leagues. We should know Sunday if he's back up to speed for next week.
News: Dallas F Jerry Stackhouse is expected back in the lineup Friday night at home against Memphis after missing the last seven games with a strained right hamstring.
Analysis: Stackhouse is averaging 9.9 points, 2.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 24.4 minutes this season. These days, he doesn't do much but contribute a few points off the bench for the Mavs, making him a low-end Fantasy option when healthy.
News:The Sports Xchange reports G Jerry Stackhouse is scheduled to come back Friday against Memphis, according to Avery Johnson. The Mavs could use his scoring and leadership off the bench. If he does come back Friday, Stackhouse would have missed seven games with a strained right hamstring. "We'd love to have him, but he's not ready yet," Johnson said. "When we get him back, hopefully we can get him back strong between that period and the All-Star break, and have him strong the rest of the year. Hopefully we can get this behind us a little bit."

News:Jerry Stackhouse continues to improve but probably will sit out Monday's game at Orlando, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He hopes to return for Wednesday's home game against Milwaukee.

News:The Sports Xchange reports Mavs SF Jerry Stackhouse might be back on the court before the four-game road trip ends Feb. 4 at Orlando. After re-injuring his right hamstring last Wednesday at Charlotte, the original diagnosis had him out a week. Coach Avery Johnson reported that Stackhouse is making progress and he'll be reexamined Tuesday in Dallas. "They're very temperamental," Johnson said of hamstring injuries. "I had one myself. You've got to be completely over a hamstring. You can't come back from a hamstring 75 percent because you're going to have problems with it, so hopefully we can get him completely over this."
Analysis: Stackhouse is averaging 9.9 points, 2.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 24.4 minutes this season. These days, he is merely a scoring option off the bench for the Mavs and a low-end Fantasy option when healthy. He has been bothered by a right hamstring injury for a few weeks.

Analysis: Stackhouse is averaging 9.9 points, 2.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 24.4 minutes this season. He sat out a game earlier this month because of a hamstring problem. At a full week, he'd miss games against the Lakers, Denver, Memphis and Boston. If he doesn't return Jan. 31 on the road against the Celtics, he could be back by Feb. 3 in Detroit. Keep him out of Fantasy lineups until then, though he's merely a low-end option anyway.
News: The Dallas Morning News reports that Jerry Stackhouse is doubtful for Friday's game against the Lakers with a strained hamstring. He had an MRI this morning.
Analysis: Stackhouse is averaging 10 or more points for the 13th straight season, but he is not the NBA player he once was earlier in his career.

News: Mavs G Jerry Stackhouse sat against Sacramento Monday after straining his right hamstring late in the second quarter of Saturday's win over the Clippers. With a four-day break coming up, Stackhouse expects to be ready for Saturday's visit by Seattle. Stackhouse missed his third game of the season. Asked if he came into the season with a goal for games played, he answered: "All the playoff games."
Analysis: Other than making the game-winner at L.A., it's been a tough trip for Stackhouse. Already playing with a sore right thumb, he knocked knees with a Sonics player Friday at Seattle, which he thought helped lead to the hamstring pull. The following night, he reacted too quickly to a Clippers player cutting to the basket, causing the injury despite no contact being made. He played the rest of the game. The hamstring didn't really tighten up until later that night. "I didn't even feel it," he said. "It's amazing what emotion and adrenalin can overcome." Stackhouse is averaging 10 or more points for the 13th straight season, but he is not the NBA player he once was earlier in his career. These days, he is merely a scoring option off the bench for the Mavs and a low-end Fantasy option.

Analysis: Stackhouse continues to be the team's best scoring option off the bench. He sees starter's minutes and should still be viewed as a No. 3 or 4 Fantasy option at his position.
News: Mavericks G/F Jerry Stackhouse sat out Friday at Indiana in a precautionary move, according to The Sports Xchange. The veteran swingman is 33 and has missed significant chunks of the last few seasons with nagging injuries. With the Mavs on the third stop in stretch of four games in five nights, the coaching staff decided to give Stackhouse the night off. He's expected to play Saturday at Milwaukee.
Analysis: Stackhouse's Fantasy value took a dive when Josh Howard returned from suspension, and he just doesn't contribute enough on offense to be worthy of much Fantasy consideration except in deeper leagues.
News: Mavericks veteran PF Jerry Stackhouse is averaging 27 minutes this season with Dallas, but is barely averaging double-digit points and is only pulling down three boards a game. He was held to six points and two rebounds in Tuesday night's 99-84 win over the 76ers.

News: Mavs SF Jerry Stackhouse scored 17 points with four assists and three rebounds in Wednesday's season opener at Cleveland. He added a steal and a block.
Analysis: Stackhouse was 6-of-11 from the field and 1-for-2 from beyond the arc. He was behind only Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry in shots taken, but saw the boost with Josh Howard sitting out a suspension. He won't get these types of looks on a regular basis. For now, he's best used as an injury replacement.
News: Mavs G/F Jerry Stackhouse scored eight points in 16 minutes as Dallas defeated Chicago 96-88 in a preseason game on Tuesday night.
Analysis: Stackhouse, who turns 33 in November, averaged 12 points in 67 games off the bench last season. Expect similar production from him again this season.

Analysis: Stackhouse, who turns 33 in November, averaged 12 points in 67 games off the bench last season. Expect similar production from him again this season.
News: Jerry Stackhouse is sticking with Dallas, agreeing to a three-year deal to remain the Mavericks' sixth man. Stackhouse agreed Thursday night to a deal that will pay him more than the midlevel exception, which is expected to be set at roughly $6 million. While details were still being finalized Friday, the contract can't become official until the NBA's signing period begins Wednesday.
Analysis: The 32-year-old Stackhouse was a free agent for the first time and could have gone for one last big payday and another chance to be a starter. Instead, he was comfortable with his setup in Dallas and stayed true to his vow of re-signing. His scoring has dropped from a career-best 29.8 points in 2000-01 to a career-low of 12 this past season. Yet he is still worth using as low-end Fantasy starter or reserve in 2007-08.
News: According to the Dallas Morning News, Jerry Stackhouse, who doesn't become an unrestricted free agent until this summer, said that he wants to be a Maverick next season, even if another team offers him an opportunity to be a starter. "I'm happy to be sixth man [in Dallas], or if Moe Ager steps up, I could be a seventh man," Stackhouse said. "And if need be, somebody goes down, I can start – and hopefully we don't miss a beat."
Analysis: Stackhouse, who turns 33 in November, averaged 12 points in 67 games off the bench this season. After shooting 6-for-24 in the first three games of the opening-round loss to Golden State, he averaged 19.6 points during the series' final three games. His scoring average during that time slipped from 14.9 points to 13.0 to 12.0, but his shooting percentage (42.8) was his best since 1999-2000. After shooting 29.9-percent from 3-point distance his first 11 seasons, he was a career-best 38.3-percent this season. Consider Stackhouse a decent low-end Fantasy guard depending on where he ends up next season.
News: According to The Dallas Morning News, Mavs coach Avery Johnson announced Friday that Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse and Erick Dampier won't play Friday night vs. Utah. "I'm pretty sure he's like pulling straws or something," Stackhouse said about how Avery decides who gets to pause each game down the stretch. "There's no rhyme or reason to it. Being the oldest in the group, I get seniority and more straws in the hat than the rest."
Analysis: Dampier is still nursing his strained right shoulder. Terry and Stack are just taking a "pause." Avery asked that we refrain from using the word "rest," because he doesn't want his guys to start thinking they're tired. Anyone counting on Mavs players in the final games of the season should expect their player to get at least one "pause".
News: Dirk Nowitzki and Jerry Stackhouse won't accompany the team to Minneapolis after Tuesday's practice for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. With the West's No. 1 guaranteed, Avery Johnson plans to rest his main guys over the next few games. He plans to give another two the night off Friday against Utah.
Analysis: Stackhouse scored 13 of his 18 points Monday against the Clippers off the bench before the break. Stackhouse could use the rest. In the past five games prior to Monday, he averaged 28.8 minutes or more than four minutes over his season average. Twice, he played 31. He was also on a scoring tear, averaging 22 points, about 10 over his average, before stalling out in the 75-71 loss Friday at Denver with seven points on 2-of-12 shooting. "It's just inevitable that sometimes the day, the game, the situation, everything kind of catches up with you," Stackhouse said.
News: Maurice Ager had his most extensive outing of the season Saturday against Portland, logging season-highs in minutes (25) and points (eight). The rookie guard took the place of Jerry Stackhouse in the rotation for the night, as Avery Johnson decided to rest Stackhouse on the second half of a back-to-back.
Analysis: With the Mavs trying to stay healthy for the playoff run, this could happen again. The Mavs end the season with a pair of back-to-back games on the road. Consider him a No. 3 Fantasy option at this time, but be cautious.
News: The contributions of sixth man Jerry Stackhouse went beyond his 12 points Sunday at Detroit, as his defense against Detroit forward Antonio McDyess was key when the Mavs went small in the second half. "Special thanks goes to 'Stack' for his defense," Josh Howard said.
Analysis: While the Pistons like Stackhouse's defense, Fantasy owners are happy Stackhouse is scoring well. Consider him a No. 3 Fantasy option at this time.
News: Dallas guard Jerry Stackhouse scored 33 points Wednesday against the Suns, his most in three seasons with Dallas. "This was a big game. We aren't going to try to downplay it," Dallas reserve Jerry Stackhouse said. "It was a little disappointing not to get the win, but we'll bounce back."
Analysis: Stackhouse said earlier this season he was waiting to turn things on as the playoffs approach. Apparently that time is now. He is worth adding and using as a No. 3 or 4 Fantasy guard.
News: Mavericks G Jerry Stackhouse enters the All-Star break on the heels of a 17-point performance against the Rockets on Feb. 15. Stackhouse remains the team's sixth man and is averaging about 23 minutes per game. He is also averaging 11.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists.
Analysis: The days of Stackhouse averaging 20-plus points per game are long gone, but he remains a useful low-end scoring option in deeper leagues for the second half of the season.
News: Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse had 13 points in 25 minutes off the bench Tuesday against the Bucks.
Analysis: Consider Stackhouse a low-end No. 3 Fantasy guard in deep leagues.
News: Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse continues to get stronger as the season goes on. During a 2 1/2-minute span in Friday's win over Houston, Stackhouse helped bury the Rockets by sparking a 16-0 run. He scored 10 during the streak and assisted on two other buckets. "It was a conscious effort, not just to be aggressive scoring, but aggressive overall," said Stackhouse, who went into the locker room frustrated after shooting 1-of-5 in the first half.
Analysis: Consider Stackhouse an injury replacement at this point. He has the potential to be a low-end No. 3 guard as the season goes on.
News: Mavs G Jerry Stackhouse had 14 points, three rebounds and five assists in 17 minutes off the bench Friday.
Analysis: Stackhouse is on a roll of late and is useful as a No. 4 Fantasy guard in any league at this point, but only as a stopgap option. He can go cold at any moment.
News: Mavs G Jerry Stackhouse scored 16 points Thursday at Chicago, finishing five for 13 from the field and two for three from long range.
Analysis: Stackhouse is on a roll of late and is useful as a No. 4 Fantasy guard in any league at this point, but only as a stopgap option. He can go cold at any moment.
News: Mavs G Jerry Stackhouse had 16 points, one rebound and three assists in a loss to the Bulls Thursday.
Analysis: Stackhouse is very spotty with his efforts, but he been particularly strong the last five games. He has reached double-figures in four of those games. Consider him a nice stopgap option, but don't use him on a regular basis as anything more than a No. 4 Fantasy guard.
News: Mavs G Jerry Stackhouse scored 23 points off 10-for-16 shooting from the field Sunday at Miami. He added three rebounds and two steals in just under 25 minutes.
Analysis: Stackhouse is very spotty with his efforts, but can turn in a performance like this on any given night. Consider him a nice stopgap option, but don't use him on a regular basis as anything more than a No. 4 Fantasy guard.
News: Jerry Stackhouse sung the national anthem for the second time in his career Thursday against the Lakers. The soulful a cappella performance wasn't the end of Stackhouse's night. He also scored 11 off the bench, nine coming in the second quarter.
Analysis: Ironically, Jason Terry's highest assist total with the Mavs (14) occurred on Dec. 28, 2004 -- the last time Stackhouse sang the anthem. Terry had a season-high 13 dimes Thursday. Maybe he needs to do this more often. For now, he's far too unreliable to use as anything more than a No. 4 Fantasy guard or as a stopgap Fantasy option.
News: Mavs G Jerry Stackhouse managed seven points off the bench in Sunday's win at Toronto. He logged just over 24 minutes and shot 3-for-8 from the floor.
Analysis: Stackhouse turned the ball over four times and made it hard for the Mavericks to keep him on the floor at times, but he still managed more minutes than any reserve. He's too spotty with his efforts these days to rely on as a regular Fantasy starter.
News: Dallas swingman Jerry Stackhouse was kicked out of the Mavericks' game at Utah on Tuesday night after getting called for his second flagrant foul. Stackhouse, who also received a technical in the first half for an argument with Utah coach Jerry Sloan, fouled Jazz center Jarron Collins hard as he went to the basket with 7.8 seconds left in the third quarter. His first flagrant was a shot to Utah forward Matt Harpring's jaw in the first quarter. Stackhouse and Sloan exchanged a few words before Stackhouse's teammates led him back to the bench. "It's just another team that I can be passionate against," Stackhouse said. "They're going to hold and grab, try to play a fake physical game." Stackhouse had 11 points.
Analysis: Stackhouse is working his way back after missing time with an injury. Consider him a No. 3 Fantasy guard and hope he keeps his cool for Wednesday's game against Portland.
News: Coach Avery Johnson said last week that keeping Jerry Stackhouse's spirits up is just as important as the rehab on his sprained left ankle. Stackhouse admits there's a mental strain sitting out. "It's tough not being able to play and being out there competing, especially being out a short period of time and when you get back it's something else," he said. After missing four games with a strained groin in mid-December, Stackhouse turned his ankle in his third game back. He was out for six games before returning Thursday against Indiana. Stackhouse played 11 minutes and scored six points against the Pacers. He doesn't expect to just be handed his spot in the rotation, citing the play of Greg Buckner and Devean George off the bench. "I have work to do," he said. "In this game, it's all about rhythm."
Analysis: Keep an eye on Stack's progression before inserting him back into Fantasy lineups. It looks as though the Mavs might limit his minutes and make sure he is 100 percent before letting him loose.
News: Jerry Stackhouse (ankle) was back in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pacers. He scored six points in 10 minutes.
Analysis: Stack had been sidelined for six games and 11 of the past 14. It appears safe to get him back into the active Fantasy lineup in all larger leagues.

News: Jerry Stackhouse's sprained left ankle hasn't healed as quickly as hoped. He tweaked it again at practice and is out until at least Thursday against Indiana. "It's still been kind of tender, so Avery (Johnson) just told me to take my time and make sure it's right," Stackhouse said. "We've got some tough games coming back this week, so I want to get back in and get a few minutes before we play San Antonio (Friday) and the Lakers (Sunday). But it's really just kind of day-to-day seeing how it goes. It's definitely better, but it's not there yet to where I can really cut off of it and move."
Analysis: Keep Stack reserved until he can return and play without any lingering effects of the injury. When healthy, he can be useful as a reserve Fantasy guard in larger leagues.

Analysis: The Mavs have four games coming up in the next scoring period (Dec. 11-17) and you might want to keep Stackhouse active just in case he can play at least three games. But if you have a better option, go ahead and bench Stackhouse.
News: Mavs F/G Jerry Stackhouse played for 18 minutes on Thursday against the Pistons, but scored no points. He went 0-for-4 from the field.
Analysis: This was the first time all season that Stackhouse went without scoring a point. He is averaging 13.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists a game coming off the bench. With those kinds of numbers, he should be considered a No. 4 Fantasy guard.
News: The return of Josh Howard moved Jerry Stackhouse back into his familiar sixth-man role. It's not that Stackhouse doesn't enjoy starting -- he does -- he just knows the Mavs are better off with him energizing the second unit. "It's a perfect situation for me," he said. "Aside from Dirk (Nowitzki), if any of the four guys in our starting lineup (sits), I can move into the lineup and we don't miss a beat. That's a luxury a lot of teams would like to have."
Analysis: Coming off the bench reduces the wear and tear on his 32-year-old knees, and allows Stackhouse to be the primary offensive focus when paired with other reserves. "He's familiar with what we're doing," coach Avery Johnson said. "As much as we preach defense, you've got to score. Not only does he score, I like the way he's passing the ball this year." He remains a nice, but unsteady option in leagues of 10 or more teams.

Analysis: Stackhouse moved with ease in his exhibition debut against Cleveland, scoring 12 points to go with three rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes. "I've been off for a while," he said. "It's always exciting to be back." Stack is worth startin in leagues of 12-plus teams when healthy.
News: PG Jason Terry, SG Jerry Stackhouse and C Erick Dampier of Dallas all missed the Thursday's exhibition game against the Bucks with minor injuries. All three players could be back for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Don't concern yourself too much with these injuries just yet. It is probably just normal wear and tear, and these guys were given the night off to rest. Terry and Stackhouse are worth middle-to-late round selections on Draft Day. Dampier on the other hand in a stretch as a late-round pick, but if you are required to start more than one center, you might not have a choice.
