Mirza Teletovic started at power forward with Brook Lopez (ankle) out on Monday, and scored 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting with two threes, five boards and one steal in 26 minutes.

There are a lot of impediments to Teletovic's fantasy value, but in the current roster configuration he'll be worth a look in spot action while Lopez is out.

Mirza Teletovic is start at power forward for the Nets on Monday against the Sixers.

There are a lot of different reasons for the Nets to do this move. Teletovic has been involved in trade rumors and he's coming off a 17-point game on Friday, and they also could want to do this as a matchup against the up-tempo Sixers. He will likely play less minutes than Andray Blatche, but he's a decent speculative add in the starting lineup based on his five 3-pointers from Friday.

Mirza Teletovic sat out Sunday's practice due to an illness.

Joe Johnson was also out and it seems a cold or flu is going around the Nets locker room. Teletovic is coming off a stellar 17-point performance in 24 minutes vs. the Pistons, including 5-of-6 shooting from downtown. He could be a reliable source of 3-pointers if he were to get steady playing time but that hasn't happened yet, and Andrei Kirilenko's possible return later this month presents another threat to Teletovic's bench role.

Mirza Teletovic came off the bench for 17 points, four rebounds, a block and five 3-pointers in Friday's loss.

He went on a two-game run where he scored 18 and 17 points in two straight late-November games, but had scored a grand total of 21 points in six games until tonight's explosion. Ignore him until further notice.

Mirza Teletovic played 29 minutes off the bench during an ugly 113-83 home loss to the Knicks on Thursday, scoring six points with eight boards and two 3-pointers.

The Nets are giving him some minutes with Paul Pierce out of the lineup. Teletovic, Alan Anderson and Tornike Shengelia could have some shred of value in deeper leagues, but the inconsistency is likely to make them more trouble than their worth. Anderson had eight points and two boards in 31 minutes while Shengelia had three points in 13 minutes.

Mirza Teletovic sprained his left hand on Tuesday and X-rays were negative, but he finished Tuesday's loss with zero points on 0-of-4 shooting in 14 minutes.

It sounds like he avoided a catastrophe and we expect him to have some nice games while Paul Pierce is out with his own hand injury for the next couple weeks. But as long as Alan Anderson is starting and Teletovic is coming off the bench, he's a very risky option in any sized fantasy league. Especially if his injury is worse than it initially appears to be.

Mirza Teletovic suffered a sprained left hand on Tuesday and X-rays were negative.

He was grimacing as he jogged back to the locker room. Teletovic has been part of the solution to filling the void left by Paul Pierce not playing, but doesn't have a concrete role with the team right now. His return is probable.

Mirza Teletovic is considering asking the Nets to trade him to another NBA team.

Teletovic is reportedly unhappy with the opportunity he's received in Brooklyn, but there are conflicting reports as to whether he's made a trade request. His European manager said, "We will try in a quiet and civilized way to agree with the club and to come to a trade in the next month or two where he will get more playing time." Teletovic, however, has an NBA agent, so it's unclear whether or not this request has any legs. Regardless of the trade request situation, the 28-year-old hasn't seen many non-garbage time minutes this season and doesn't need to be of concern to fantasy owners.

Mirza Teletovic grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds in Friday's blowout loss, and also added 18 points on 6-of-14 shooting with three treys and two steals.

Teletovic is a garbage-time machine with no conscience shooting the ball and plenty of girth to clean up the glass when the whistles have been put away. In other words, he has no real fantasy value and we'd much rather keep our eye on Mason Plumlee, who also took advantage of garbage time with 16 points, six rebounds, three steals and one block. While we're at it, we'll add Tyshawn Taylor and his 16 and 12 to this list. None of them warrant a pickup.

Mirza Teletovic had a career-high 17 points against the Lakers on Wednesday to go with five boards, two assists, one steal, one block and four 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

He had a grand total of 23 points in the entire season before tonight, making this a completely stunning performance. Teletovic shot 38.4 percent from the field in his rookie year in 2012-13 and was at 29.4 percent this season before this outburst. He can be left on the wire in just about every league.

Nets F Mirza Teletovic is the second-leading scorer at EuroBasket, where he averaged 21.0 points and 7.6 rebounds for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Teletovic's team was knocked out during the first round despite compiling a 3-2 record -- they defeated Lithuania by seven points in their final game, but needed to win by 10 points to advance by virtue of a tie-breaker. It was an excellent showing for Teletovic, who neverthless projects as a role player in the Nets' deep rotation.

Mirza Teletovic began training Thursday for Bosnia for FIBA and his coach said he was in good shape.

He had to wait because the NBA only allows 35 days for players to train for FIBA. Teletovic wasn't much of a factor in his rookie season with the Nets and had to deny rumors of his displeasure, and his minutes aren't likely going to see an uptick with the Nets adding loads of depth this offseason. He's not on the fantasy radar.

Mirza Teletovic denied recent rumors that he is eager to leave the Nets and return to Europe.

"I followed my dreams and went to the NBA," said Teletovic, who was disappointed with his limited role in Brooklyn. "Last season was the way it is, but I have everything to motivate me and prove to all what I can [do]." With Paul Pierce, Andrei Kirilenko and Kevin Garnett added to the Nets' star-studded roster, it won't be easy for Teletovic to play more than last season's nine minutes per game.

Mirza Teletovic matched his career high with 14 points on Monday, adding five boards, two steals, one block and two 3-pointers in 24 minutes.

This was his biggest chance to show what he could do and he was solid, shooting 5-of-10 form the field. He is a decent shooter, but he's not likely to be a major contributor in the NBA with his sub-par defense.

Mirza Teletovic has no interest in returning to Europe to play basketball.

"No," he said. "Never going to happen. I'm going to prove some stuff." Teletovic got his shot in the rotation but was a non-factor, and now he plays spot minutes on occasion. He has an intriguing skill set, but Teletovic has a lot to learn about the NBA game.

P.J. Carlesimo said that he'll make Mirza Teletovic a "priority" moving forward.

Apparently the coach sees Teletovic as a mismatch at both ends of the floor, and he'll use the remaining games to evaluate Teletovic before settling on a rotation. The first-year player will have an opportunity to prove he deserves consistent minutes.

Mirza Teletovic said recently that he has to "find the fun in basketball again."

"Not think about it too much, and just have fun," he said. Teletovic is still working to adjust to the NBA, but inconsistent playing time hasn't helped him. Teletovic can shoot it, but he'll need a consistent role in the rotation to hold any sort of fantasy value.

Mirza Teletovic returned from an illness and hit 3-of-8 shots (all 3-pointers) for 10 points, four boards, three assists, a steal and a block off the Nets' bench on Tuesday.

Keep in mind that Gerald Wallace was out, which was a key to Teletovic's big game tonight. leave him on waivers for now.

Mirza Teletovic (illness) did not leave the Nets' bench on Sunday.

He was considered a game-time decision. He averaged 18 minutes in the two games before coming down with the flu, but even at full health he's not a fantasy option.

Mirza Teletovic (illness) will not play Friday.
