Thu Apr 19 201200:28Kidd plays well again in Mavs win
Jason Kidd had 12 points, three boards, eight assists and four 3-pointers in Wednesday's win.
Kidd played heavy minutes on Monday, but was back out there getting it done tonight. He could be rested at some point, but with the Mavs fighting for playoff position, keep him in your lineup unless you hear he won't play.

Tue Apr 17 201204:33Kidd plays 45 minutes in triple-OT loss
Jason Kidd played 45 minutes before being yanked in the Mavs' triple-overtime loss to the Jazz on Monday, scoring 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting (all threes) with five rebounds, six assists, and four steals.
The Mavs have a critical game against the Rockets on Wednesday, and then get the Warriors at home on Friday and the Bulls in Chicago on Saturday. We're marking him sidelined for now, and surely we'll hear a report about how the Mavs plan on handling things soon. In the meantime, Delonte West and to a lesser degree, Vince Carter (also a rest risk) and Roddy Beaubois (if healthy) are worth a look.

Sun Apr 15 201218:26Jason Kidd logs 38 minutes Sunday
Jason Kidd had 13 points, seven assists, three rebounds and three 3-pointers in Sunday's overtime loss to the Lakers.
After a night off on Friday, Kidd was relied upon heavily. The 38 minutes are the most he's played in any game all season. Roddy Beaubois (calf) is expected back Monday, so Kidd's minutes should be much more limited in that one.

Sun Apr 15 201211:05Jason Kidd battling through the pain
Jason Kidd has "battled through a lot of pain this year," according to coach Rick Carlisle.
Kidd will be back in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Lakers, but he's averaging just 6.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.8 steals this season while shooting a miserable 35.1 percent. Now 39 years old, Kidd simply isn't the player he was earlier in his career, but we don't doubt that he's been banged up at various points this season. Regardless, Kidd doesn't hold the same fantasy appeal he once did and it will certainly be interesting to see where he lands as a free agent in the offseason.

Fri Apr 13 201221:34Jason Kidd (rest) out on Friday

Fri Apr 13 201201:13Kidd one point shy of triple-double vs. GSW
Jason Kidd scored nine points on 3-of-6 shooting (3-of-5 from deep) with 10 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals, and two blocks against the Warriors on Thursday.
A crafty player like Kidd can absolutely crush the low basketball IQs in the Golden State backcourt and that's exactly what happened tonight. As we can see, Kidd is far from done in fantasy leagues, but this is likely the best line he'll put up for the rest of the year by a good amount.

Thu Apr 12 201215:22Report: Mavs intend to bring back Kidd
The Mavericks "absolutely" plan to bring back impending free agent Jason Kidd, sources tell ESPN.com.
Kidd's contract is up at the end of the year and he turned 39 on March 23. However, he says he wants to play another year and a one-year deal makes some sense. The Mavericks ideally see Kidd as a backup to Dallas native and fellow impeding free agent Deron Williams.

Tue Apr 10 201223:35Jason Kidd returns for Mavericks
Jason Kidd (groin) returned from a four game absence on Tuesday and had seven points, seven assists, six rebounds, and two blocks.
This is a typical Kidd line and the fact that he did his damage is 22 minutes is actually pretty impressive. His minutes should go up as his health improves.

Tue Apr 10 201212:03Jason Kidd's groin issue not a new injury
Jason Kidd (groin) will play on Tuesday, but he revealed that the injury has bothered him all season.
Although the veteran point guard said that he is feeling better following four games of rest, it's a concerning statement. Groin injuries have a tendency to linger, and the last thing Kidd wants is to aggravate the injury. Rick Carlisle stressed that Kidd will be on a "pitch count" upon his return, but it's a situation worth monitoring closely for owners.

Sat Apr 7 201223:18Still no timetable for Jason Kidd (groin)
The Mavericks still do not have a timetable for Jason Kidd's return from a strained groin.
Kidd has been dealing with the injury for a while now, and Dallas will probably hold him out until he's close to 100 percent healthy. His absence provides more opportunities for Roddy Beaubois and Delonte West, among others.

Mon Apr 2 201219:18Jason Kidd out for the week with groin strain
Jason Kidd will reportedly miss the entire week with a right groin strain.
At least one report has identified Kidd as being out for the next four games, which would indeed put him out for the entire week. Delonte West has been the more productive of the two backup PGs between he and Roddy Beaubois, and makes for a solid pick-and-play for the Mavs' four-game week. Beaubois has been getting DNP-CDs lately, but he should get put back in the rotation this week, too. Give Buckets a look if you're feeling lucky.

Sat Mar 31 201203:12Kidd goes scoreless with six assists
Jason Kidd missed all four of his field goal attempts on Friday, scoring zero points with four rebounds, six assists, and three steals in 24 minutes.
Despite disastrous looking lines like these, Kidd has put up early-mid round value over the past two weeks because of 2.1 threes, 4.9 assists, 1.6 steals, and just 1.4 turnovers per game in his last eight contests.

Sat Mar 24 201204:12Kidd hits four 3-points in loss to Spurs
Jason Kidd hit four 3-point shots in the Mavs' loss to the Spurs on Friday, scoring 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting with seven rebounds, one assist, and one steal.
It's a strange line, for sure, but owners will take the production however they can get it with Kidd. As long as you can handle the good with the bad, there's a spot for him on your fantasy roster.

Thu Mar 22 201203:40Kidd disappears in loss to Lakers
Jason Kidd had just six points, one rebound, two assists, four steals and two 3-pointers in Wednesday's loss.
Kidd had seven points and 10 dimes on Monday and posted one of his best lines of the year on Saturday. He's simply not going to score many points and will mix in some good games with some bad ones. He still has fantasy value, but is not a must-start player depending on the options you have available.

Tue Mar 20 201201:29Kidd hands out 10 assists vs. Nuggets
Jason Kidd handed out 10 assists to go with seven points on 2-of-4 shooting and four steals on Monday.
Kidd had a 14-5-10 line on Saturday and maybe he's ready to pick up the pace. He should certainly be owned in most formats.

Sat Mar 17 201223:45Kidd notches first double-double of 2011-12
Jason Kidd notched his first double-double of the season vs. the Spurs on Saturday, finishing with 14 points, five rebounds and 10 assists.
Kidd went 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, and his 3-pointers and steals alone give him value in most leagues. That's a good thing, because the guy who used to be a nightly triple-double threat is no longer with us.

Wed Mar 14 201202:40Kidd goes scoreless against the Wizards
Jason Kidd missed all three of his field goal attempts against the Wizards on Tuesday, finishing with zero points, two rebounds, four assists, and three steals in 23 minutes.
This isn't going to make owners feel any better, but a game against the Wizards is like a game off for a player in Kidd's situation. Try not to hold this outing against him in your evaluations.

Jason Kidd sat out Saturday's game, the Mavericks' third game in three nights, as a precaution.

Wed Mar 7 201213:46Jason Kidd fined $25K for criticizing refs
Jason Kidd has been fined $25,000 for his public criticism of NBA officials.
Kidd and the Mavericks have been playing the "disrespect" card since before Dallas won the title. One had to assume a fine was coming after Kidd's comments.
