Evans had 21 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with four rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes in the big win over Houston on Friday. |
Evans has been in a nice scoring run with 21.5 points in his last four games, including three 20-point games. His assists have fallen a bit from earlier in the season, but he continues to be a major part of the Pelican offense. Evans has only hit two of his last 16 3-pointers (12.5 percent). |

Evans had 26 points (10-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, and five assists Saturday against the Bulls. |
Evans had been in a bit of a scoring slump of late as he hadn't scored more than 20 points in his last six games leading into Saturday. It appears that he's fully healthy after being hampered by knee and ankle issues recently. |

Evans returned to action in limited fashion, scoring six points (2-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT) with four rebounds, and two assists in Saturday's loss to the Blazers. |
Evans sat out Thursday's game with knee and ankle issues, but looks like he will try to play through his various injuries. Although he's managed to score more this season (16.6 ppg), his career-low free throw percentage of 64.9% is holding him back from providing more efficient fantasy value. Evans is still a starting option in most formats. |

Evans (knee) will be a game-time decision Saturday against the Trail Blazers, The Times-Picayune reports. |

Thu Dec 18 2014 | 19:21 | Tyreke Evans: (Ankle) Out Thursday |
Evans (ankle) will not play Thursday against the Rockets, The Times-Picayune reports. |
Evans is just dealing with a right knee contusion, so it's not something that should keep him out for an extended period of time. However, he will miss Thursday's game, and will cede the start to Austin Rivers. |

Evans (ankle) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against Houston, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. |
Evans is listed on the injury report as having a right knee contusion, so it doesn't appear to be anything that will keep him out long-term. That said, if he's still experiencing severe discomfort during warmups Thursday night, he could end up being ruled out. Evans has been a strong fantasy performer in the month of December, averaging 20.4 points, 5.4 assists and 4.0 rebounds while shooting a hair under 50 percent from the field. |

Evans scored a season-high 31 points (13-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT) in a surprise victory Friday over the Cavaliers. |
This was the second time this month that Evans attempted 24 shots in a game. On Dec. 2, he went 14-for-24 from the field and scored 30. The scoring outburst was certainly surprising, but the efficiency was even more shocking. Evans came into the game shooting just 41.4 percent from the floor, which was sixth worst among all qualified small forwards. Evans's recent production has certainly been a nice boost for owners. In his past four games, Evans has 24 assists, two blocks and four steals in addition to his scoring. |

Evans scored 11 points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and added five rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes of action against the Lakers on Sunday. |
Evans is shooting a pathetic 32 percent from the field over his last three games. If you can take the hit from this atrocious rate, then so be it, because he is contributing in counting stats. Over his last seven games he is averaging 16 points, five rebounds, five assists, a steal and is adding a block occasionally. |
Sun Dec 7 2014 | 05:52 | Tyreke Evans: |
Evans scored 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) with six rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes agains the Clippers on Saturday. |
Despite only making five of his 13 shot attempts, Evans made himself fantasy relevant by adding six rebounds and four assists. This exemplifies Evans - he has nights where he cannot buy a bucket, but he will still add value in other categories. |

Evans scored 30 points (14-24 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), with five assists, two rebounds and one block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Thunder. |
Evans' shot was dropping from all over the floor, and he gave fantasy owners something to smile about on Tuesday night. He's been very consistent this year, and that's a trend we expect to see continue. |

Evans couldn't buy a basket, scoring just four points (2-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt), but added five rebounds, four assists, four steals, and one block in 35 minutes Saturday. |
Evans' percentages are always an issue for his fantasy owners, but his ability to accumulate stats in the other categories make him a great option in head-to-head leagues. The former rookie of the year is averaging 14.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.4 steals per game in 35 minutes this season. |

Evans slid over to small forward to allow Austin Rivers to start at shooting guard, and finished the game with 18 points (8-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT). |
Evans had a good all-around fantasy night, pulling down six rebounds in addition to six assists, three steals and a block. Rivers had a terrible shooting night, missing all eight of the shots he took, so Evans could end up moving back to shooting guard anyway. |

Evans scored 22 points (10-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), with seven rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Kings. |

Evans has been incredibly good this year for fantasy owners, and that should just continue moving forward. No reason to go away from Evans and his hot hand, as he's playing with a ton of confidence and getting plenty of minutes. |

Evans scored 13 points (5-18 FG, 1-5 3P, 2-5 FT) with a team-high eight assists, five rebounds and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers. |
He's been thriving as the main facilitator in the Pelican's offense, dishing out 36 assists over his last four games, but the trade-off has been in Evans' efficiency as he's shooting below 40 percent from the floor and below 65 percent from the free throw line so far. If he can start getting his shot to fall, and he can avoid injury, Evans could turn in a career season. |
Wed Nov 12 2014 | 22:54 | Evans scored 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), with 11 assis... |
Evans scored 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), with 11 assists and four rebounds in 37 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Lakers. |
Evans has looked incredibly impressive at times, but fantasy owners just need to hope the injuries don't slow him down. He's capable of big nights like this on a consistent basis if he can stay healthy. |
