Gooden has been one of Fantasy’s biggest duds this season, but his lack of production has been due almost entirely to a bout with plantar fasciitis. He had missed 32 straight games before returning to the court March 28, but he was able to shake off the rust rather quickly. The veteran pulled down 11 rebounds and racked up 22 points in just his second game back — though it’s worth noting that his big line came against the woeful Raptors’ defense. If he can stay healthy, Gooden should be at least a modest source of points and boards the rest of the way, and he’s worth adding deeper Fantasy formats. Note: Gooden is not eligible at centre in ESPN leagues.

Over his last four games, the rookie has played at least 29 minutes — while averaging 10.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and an outstanding 2.8 blocks. If you’re short on swats, consider grabbing Udoh for the stretch run… but be aware that he is still very much a work in progress, and his playing time could evaporate quickly if Smart decides to try out something else.

Monroe has been on an outstanding roll since the All-Star break, averaging 15.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals in his first nine games. With the Pistons’ playoff hopes all but dead, there’s little reason for the team to limit the rookie’s minutes as the season winds down, so double-doubles should be the norm for Monroe down the stretch. Those numbers won’t help the woeful Pistons, but they could bring you a Fantasy championship. Monroe is available in about one-third of Yahoo! leagues, but only about 10 per cent of ESPN formats. If he’s out there, grab him.
