Steve Blake

Blake scored 13 points in over 19 minutes during the Pistons 102-89 loss to New York.

Fantasy Impact

Blake was called in for extra duty against the Knicks due to starting point guard Reggie Jackson's struggles as he went 3-for-17. Blake has been solid off the bench but is only averaging 4.5 points and 3.1 assists per game.

Blake scored 10 points and had five assists in the Pistons 114-101 win against Toronto.

Fantasy Impact

Blake is the backup point guard now in Detroit but is averaging just 4.3 points and 3.1 assists per game this season.

Steve Blake was traded from Brooklyn to Detroit to backup Reggie Jackson and Brandon Jennings at the guard position.

Fantasy Impact

The Pistons acquired Blake to provide insurance for the fluid guard situation the Pistons have currently. Unless there is an injury to Jennings or Jackson, Blake will see nothing but backup minutes and is most likely there to be a mentor to the Pistons' young starting back court.

Steve Blake played for 17 minutes and recorded eight assists, five points, one rebound, and one steal without any turnovers. He shot 2-4 from the field and 1-3 from three-point range.

Fantasy Impact

It is always nice to see a large number in the valuable assists column but unfortunately this is a rarity for Blake. He is one of the Trail Blazers' leaders in minutes off the bench (21.6 per game) but considering he only averages 4.6 points and 4 assists, he probably should not be rostered anywhere but the deepest leagues.
