Brian Roberts started in place of the injured Kemba Walker(knee) and scored 17 points while helping Charlotte pick up a big win against the Knicks on Saturday. Roberts also grabbed three rebounds and dished out three assists in 33 minutes of action. (ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
If Kemba Walker's knee does indeed require surgery, Roberts will take over point guard duties for Charlotte. He has filled in nicely in Walker's absence, leading Charlotte to victory in the three games Walker has missed. Lance Stephenson is also again being rumored in trade talks with Brookyln, and if that is the case, expect Roberts to play huge minutes as he is the only healthy point guard for Charlotte right now.
