Plug ‘em in, Plug ‘em in:

Mike Conley, Jr., G: Deemed the most NBA-ready point guard in last year’s draft, Conley has struggled with injuries and limited playing time in his rookie year. At one point earlier in the season, the 4th overall pick, appeared to be fourth on the Grizzlies’ depth chart behind Damon Stoudamire, Kyle Lowry, and Juan Carlos Navarro. With the New Year comes change and new hope for the former Ohio State standout. 13-year veteran Stoudamire hasn’t seen any game action since December and is now demanding a trade. Lowry and J.C. Navarro have struggled and seen their minutes reduced lately, ergo Conley was recently inserted into Memphis’ starting lineup for the first time this season. 9/4/6 with 2 steals are his averages in his first two starts, but more importantly he’s seen a healthy 35 minutes in each game. Memphis has a full schedule this week, so get him in your lineup and you may not look back the rest of the season.

Chris Quinn, G: Oft-injured Jason Williams has missed 5 straight games with a sprained knee, which apparently isn’t getting better anytime soon. Dwayne Wade is also nicked up and could miss some time. Second-year guard, Chris Quinn will get the start at the point and should see plenty of minutes for the foreseeable future.  Averaging 11/3/6 with 1 theft and 1.5 threes in two starts this month, the undrafted Irishman looks to make a fantasy splash this week.

Nate Robinson, G: The 2006 NBA Slam Dunk champ is averaging 17/4/2 with 2.3 treys over his last six games with increased playing time in New York. The Knicks are 0-6 over that stretch, but that’s not a major concern since we are only interested in fantasy performance… Plus, they’re the Knicks. Stephon Marbury has returned to action after missing several games since his father passed, but Big Nate is still seeing solid minutes. Robinson is a safe play as the Knicks hit the hardwood four times this week.

Antonio Daniels, PG: Returning from a sprained knee ligament earlier than expected, Daniels has posted 16/3/4 with a three and solid shooting in his first two games of the new year. Roger Mason returns to his reserve role, and Daniels is back in the driver’s seat in D.C. With Gilbert Arenas out indefinitely, Daniels is a decent PG2 and solid utility guy. Get him back in your lineups for three matchups this week.

Kurt Thomas, FC: Not a particularly exciting player, but Thomas can help a team in need of rebounds and blocks. He’s posted double digit rebounds in five straight contests and swats at least one shot a night. Plus, fellow frontcourt mate, Chris Wilcox is hurting which should open up some more playing time for Thomas this week. For those of you scrounging around for a C2 or utility player to plug in this week, the veteran big man is a decent option.
