Tue Jul 21 2015 | 22:35 | Tyler Hansbrough: To Sign With Hornets |
Hansbrough has agreed to terms with the Hornets, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports. |
The details have yet to be finalized, but Hansbrough will be heading to Charlotte in all likelihood. He was relatively productive when called upon last season as a member of the Raptors, averaging 8.0 PPG and 7.5 RPG over 28.1 minutes in April when the Raptors dealt with a rash of injuries. It's unclear how Hansbrough will fit into a Hornets front court that already added Spencer Hawes and Frank Kaminsky this offseason, but he can be a productive rebounding force off the bench. |

Hansbrough posted 3.6 points (52% FG, 14% 3Pt, 70% FT), 3.6 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 14 minutes per game during 74 regular season games in 2014-15. |
In four playoff games versus the Raptors he averaged 1.3 points (20% FG, 0% 3Pt, 75% FT), 1.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 12 minutes per game. The 29-year-old forward is an unrestricted free agent this summer. |

Hansbrough will move to the bench in Friday's Game 3 against the Wizards. |
Hansbrough enjoyed starts in the first two games of the series but will give way to Amir Johnson on Friday as the Raptors desperately need to tally their first playoff win. The newly demoted Hansbrough only averaged 12.5 minutes in Games 1 and 2 and could still see around that same total off the bench in Game 3. |

Coach Dwane Casey could look to insert Patrick Patterson or Amir Johnson into the starting lineup for Friday's Game 3, according to TSN's Josh Lewenberg. |
This is mostly speculation on Lewenberg's part, but with the Raptors down 2-0 as the series shifts to Washington it's reasonable to think Casey will mix things up. Johnson, who was hurt near the end of the regular season, has been the starter for most of the year, while Patterson would give Toronto another perimeter shooting threat. In his two starts thus far, Hansbrough has played only 25 combined minutes, scoring four total points (all in Game 1) and failing to grab a single rebound. |
Sat Apr 18 2015 | 12:15 | Hansbrough will remain in starting lineup for Game 1 on Saturday |
Hansbrough will remain in the starting lineup for Game 1 on Saturday, the Toronto Star's Doug Smith reports. |
He started the last two games of the regular season but failed to see 25 minutes in each game, so Amir Johnson will be the preferred fantasy option Saturday among the Raptors' power forwards. |

Hansbrough will remain in the starting lineup Wednesday against Charlotte, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports. |
Hansbrough has been starting while Amir Johnson (ankle) continues to work back into game shape. In Tuesday's game against Boston, Hansbrough was held scoreless in 23 minutes on the floor. |

Hansbrough will continue to start as Amir Johnson will return as a reserve in Tuesday's game, the Toronto Sun's Mike Ganter reports. |
Johnson figures to reclaim a starting role in the playoffs, but the team will limit his workload with just two games remaining in the regular season. Still, just the fact that Johnson is returning off the bench means Hansbrough's fantasy value takes a hit. |

Hansbrough grabbed 10 rebounds to go along with two points (0-2 FG, 2-4 FT) in 30 minutes in the win over Miami on Saturday. |
Hansbrough continues to start for Amir Johnson (ankle) for the last four games and has averaged 12.0 points and 9.3 rebounds. He grabbed five offensive boards against the Heat, but did not take the ball back up. Hansbrough should be a decent play while Johnson recuperates. |

Hansbrough continued his streak of solid games Friday against the Magic, posting 16 points, seven rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 36 minutes of action. |
Hansbrough is quietly averaging 11.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.0 steals over the last five games. He's contributing enough to be worth owning in 12-man leagues at the moment. |

Hansbrough scored 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-4 FT) with 12 rebounds and two blocks in 37 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Hornets. |
He's become surprisingly productive since stepping into the starting lineup for Amir Johnson (ankle), averaging 10.5 points and 8.5 boards over his last four games. Johnson may not return to action until the playoffs, so if you need frontcourt help to get you to the finish line on the season, Hansbrough could be worth picking up. |

Hansbrough will start Wednesday against Charlotte. |
Hansbrough draws his second straight start as Amir Johnson (ankle) continues to be sidelined. In his last start, Hansbrough posted 18 points and eight rebounds in 36 minutes against Boston. He draws a favorable matchup Wednesday against a depleted Charlotte frontcourt. |

Hansbrough is the likely starter at power forward Wednesday against the Hornets with Amir Johnson (ankle) sitting out for a second straight game, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 reports. |
In three games as a starter this season, Hansbrough has averaged 8.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 29 minutes per game. He put up 18 points, eight rebounds, two steals, and one block in Saturday's loss to the Celtics while starting in place of Johnson. Hansbrough has a high enough ceiling to consider using in daily games, but his production is erratic, making him a risky play. |

Hansbrough got the start Saturday and posted 18 points, eight rebounds, and two steals over 36 minutes against the Celtics. |
Hansbrough got the spot start for Amir Johnson, who was sidelined with a sprained ankle. The Raptors are off until Wednesday, which should give Johnson enough time to rest his ankle and return to the starting lineup. However, should Johnson sit out Wednesday, Hansbrough would get a boost in value if he makes another start. |

Hansbrough is starting Saturday's contest against the Celtics. |
Hansbrough is getting the nod with Amir Johnson sidelined due to a sprained ankle. In two starts this season, Hansbrough has averaged 3.5 points (on 67 percent shooting) and five rebounds in 25 minutes. |
Wed Apr 1 2015 | 22:31 | Hansbrough scored 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-7 FT) with 11 rebounds in... |
Hansbrough scored 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-7 FT) with 11 rebounds in 29 minutes off the bench Wednesday. |
This one turned into a rout early, and as a result the Raptors' second unit saw plenty of action. It was Hansbrough's first double-double of the season, and it'll likely be his last. |

Hansbrough (hip) scored six points (1-3 FG, 4-4 FT) and added three rebounds and a block in 19 minutes off the bench Friday against the Bulls. |
Hansbrough got hurt during Wednesday's game, but was available to return afterwards. He missed no time due to the injury, playing a normal amount Friday. |
Wed Mar 18 2015 | 20:48 | Hansbrough suffered left hip contusion Wednesday against Timberw... |
Hansbrough suffered a left hip contusion Wednesday against the Timberwolves but will be available for the remainder of the game. |
After leaving the court with 7:03 left in the second quarter, Hansbrough had accrued four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in eight minutes. With plenty of time to make another appearance, he'll likely make his presence felt during the second half when his number in the frontcourt rotation is called. |

Hansbrough started for Jonas Valanciunas (personal) Friday against the Heat, but disappointed in 27 minutes of action. He posted three points, five rebounds, one assist, and one steal. |
Hansbrough had an opportunity to produce well in daily contests Friday, but he disappointed in all aspects in spite of playing 27 minutes as a starter. Valanciunas is likely going to rejoin the team soon, so any short-lived fantasy hype Hansbrough may have had can be shot down after Friday's performance. |
Fri Mar 13 2015 | 19:24 | Hansbrough will get start at center Friday |
Hansbrough will get the start at center Friday. |
This will be a one-time occurrence, as Jonas Valanciunas is away from the team following the birth of his son. Look for Hansbrough and Patrick Patterson to see similar minutes in the frontcourt Friday with Valanciunas off. |
Sat Feb 28 2015 | 10:10 | Hansbrough scored six points (1-2 FG, 4-4 FT) with five rebounds... |
Hansbrough scored six points (1-2 FG, 4-4 FT) with five rebounds in just nine minutes off the bench Friday before getting ejected following an altercation with the Warriors' Festus Ezeli. |
He normally sees a handful of bench minutes each night, but if he receives any additional discipline from the NBA those minutes would likely fall to Chuck Hayes while Hansbrough is suspended. Either way, he's not someone you need to worry about in most leagues. |
