Hezonja averaged 4.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.7 blocks over 53 games for the Trail Blazers last season.

Fantasy Impact

Hezonja had been dealing with an ankle injury but seems to be healthy now and over his last five games is averaging 8.0 points and 3.4 rebounds over 18 minutes. Hezonja is only worth grabbing in deeper fantasy leagues by owners.

Mario Hezonja scored 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting with nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes off the bench in Monday’s win over the Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Hezonja has seen inconsistent playing time with two DNPs in six games since the All-Star break. The veteran forward will need to produce more consistently before it becomes worthwhile to buy into him as a viable option in most fantasy leagues.

Mario Hezonja scored eight points on 4-for-5 shooting with four rebounds and two assists over 13 minutes as the Blazers lost to the Hawks on Saturday night.

Fantasy Impact

Mario Hezonja (ankle), who was originally listed as 'out' on Sunday, played 12 minutes and didn't score and picked up one assist in a win over the Pistons by a 107-104 score.

Fantasy Impact

Hezonja was initially ruled out with a sprained left ankle, but coach Terry Stotts said pregame that the veteran forward would be able to give it a go. Hezonja did not do much with his time on the court on Sunday and can be left on the waiver wire by fantasy owners.
