Ben McLemore

SG, Houston Rockets

Ben McLemore started on Thursday for Russell Westbrook (quad) and put up an impressive effort, recording 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including five 3s, plus four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block.

As long as Westbrook stays on the sidelines with his bruised right quad, McLemore is worth a look for a short-term boost in fantasy value. He's streaky, so don't be stunned if he falls off a cliff and drag's your team along with him, so act accordingly.
