Fri Mar 21 201414:07Robert Sacre will start for the Lakers Friday
Robert Sacre will move into the starting lineup against the Wizards on Friday.
He will replace Ryan Kelly and will most likely go up against Trevor Booker tonight. Sacre's defense has some major holes, but as long as he's able to keep Booker off the offensive glass, it's not a terrible idea for coach Mike D'Antoni. He is coming off a seven-point, 11-board game on Wednesday, but he's still a risky player to use in most cases.

Tue Feb 11 201414:17Robert Sacre back to Lakers' bench Tuesday
Robert Sacre will move back to the Lakers' bench on Tuesday.
Chris Kaman and Shawne Williams will start in the Lakers' frontcourt, and with Jordan Hill healthy there's no reason to think Sacre will offer fantasy value as a backup.

Wed Feb 5 201421:53Robert Sacre scores 10 in very weird game
Robert Sacre played after he received his sixth foul on Wednesday against the Cavs due to injuries, finishing with 10 points, three boards and one block in 27 minutes.
This was one of the most exciting games of the season and Sacre was actually allowed to play with six fouls because the Lakers were out of bodies. According to the rules, a team cannot play with less than five players. If a player in the game gets his sixth foul and all subs have been disqualified, that player can remain in the game and be assessed with a personal and technical foul upon every following foul. Anyway, Sacre is worth a look in deeper leagues while Jordan Hill (neck, head) is out.

Tue Feb 4 201423:06Robert Sacre goes for 14 & 4 in loss
Robert Sacre started at center and had 14 points, four rebounds, a steal and a block on 5-of-8 shooting on Tuesday.
Pau Gasol is out through the All-Star break and Chris Kaman got his first action in quite some time tonight, so look for Sacre to keep starting. He played fairly well, but was also responsible for Kevin Love's scary fall tonight. If you're desperate at center, Sacre looks like the best option on the Lakers at that position.

Tue Feb 4 201418:30Sacre starts w/ Kelly, Meeks, Blake & Nash
Robert Sacre will start at center for the Lakers on Tuesday, joining a starting lineup with Ryan Kelly, Jodie Meeks, Steve Blake and Steve Nash.
Chris Kaman and Jordan Hill should get solid playing time off the bench vs. the Timberwolves, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Kevin Love have a field day against L.A.'s super-small lineup. Kendall Marshall has shifted to a reserve role with Blake and Nash healthy but he's also likely to log approximately 25 minutes, especially with Nash limited to roughly 10-16 minutes in his return. There is probably some value buried in the Lakers' changing lineup, but fantasy owners would do well to hedge their bets.

Sat Feb 1 201401:52Sacre logs 15 minutes in nightmare night
Robert Sacre logged 15 minutes off the bench on Friday against the Bobcats, scoring six points on 2-of-5 shooting with five rebounds and no steals or blocks.
Sacre got absolutely destroyed by Al Jefferson and this wouldn't normally get a blurb, but Pau Gasol is getting an MRI for his groin on Saturday and Sacre could find himself with a bigger workload pretty soon. It's also possible that Chris Kaman and Jordan Hill take over for any missed time by Gasol, which means that Sacre is just a speculative pickup in very deep formats.

Sat Jan 11 201403:08Sacre goes for 14 and seven in blowout
Robert Sacre scored 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting with seven rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes of Friday's blowout loss.
It's hard to take much seriously tonight but the result does give Sacre a bit more deep league credibility than he had the night before. Jordan Hill, on the other hand, had just six rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes.

Thu Jan 9 201400:14Robert Sacre puts up a goose egg
Robert Sacre did not score in 14 minutes against the Rockets on Wednesday.
He added three boards and two blocks, but his weak defense probably cost him some playing time tonight. Sacre might be the second-best big man on pick-and-roll on the Lakers after Pau Gasol, but he's not worth owning thanks to coach Mike D'Antoni.

Wed Jan 8 201401:53Robert Sacre goes for 7 & 10 in start
Robert Sacre got another start for the Lakers Tuesday and had seven points, 10 rebounds, a steal and zero blocks in 28 minutes.
Sacre is worth keeping an eye on, but not much beyond that. He's averaging 6.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and less than a block and steal per game over his last five. Jordan Hill came off the bench and played just 20 minutes, finishing with nine points and five rebounds, meaning Pau Gasol is the only must-own big man for the Lakers.

Tue Jan 7 201413:23Robert Sacre draws another start
Robert Sacre will start Tuesday's game against the Mavs.
The Lakers got ravaged by the Nuggets last time out, but they'll stick with the same starting five. That means Kendall Marshall, Jodie Meeks, Wes Johnson, Pau Gasol and Sacre -- with Nick Young playing heavy minutes off the bench. Sacre is averaging 8.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks while playing 21.3 minutes in his three starts so far this season.

Mon Jan 6 201401:05Robert Sacre scores 15 points in 27 minutes
Robert Sacre made all six attempts from the field for 15 points with five boards and two steals in 27 minutes against the Nuggets.
It was his second start in a row following his 31-minute game on Friday. Coach Mike D'Antoni has been extremely unpredictable with his big men next to Pau Gasol and Sacre did only play five minutes on Tuesday, so he's only worth a look in deeper leagues for now.

Sat Jan 4 201402:58Sacre grabs 10 rebounds in start on Friday
Robert Sacre started at center in Friday's win over the Jazz, scoring four points on 2-of-6 shooting with 10 rebounds and a block in 31 minutes.
If Sacre can get this type of playing time every night he'll be worth a pickup, but that's hardly set in stone given Mike D'Antoni's random rotations. Unless you're in a deeper league, just keep an eye on him for now.

Fri Jan 3 201414:00Robert Sacre draws start on Friday night
Robert Sacre will start at center on Friday night.
Coach Mike D'Antonio wants to get some defense in his lineup, so he'll start Sacre over Shawne Williams. Both players are waiver wire fodder as they'll mostly watch the Lakers guards jack up 3s.

Sat Dec 14 201301:29Robert Sacre grabs eight boards
Robert Sacre scored two points with eight boards, two assists and one block in 17 minutes against the Thunder on Friday.
He didn't play in the last five minutes of the game, so the blowout had little to do with his career-high rebounding total. Sacre isn't too shabby on offense, but there are enough holes in his game to bet against him of picking up steam in Mike D'Antoni's rotation.

Wed Dec 11 201302:07Robert Sacre doesn't get off bench Tuesday
After starting for two games, Robert Sacre was sent back to the bench and got a DNP-CD on Tuesday.
It was just a few days ago Mike D'Antoni was talking about rolling with Sacre at center long term, but that's obviously no longer in the cards. Drop him if you picked him up.

Tue Dec 10 201314:17Robert Sacre heads back to Lakers' bench
Robert Sacre will return to the Lakers' bench vs. Phoenix on Tuesday.
Sacre made two starts in which he averaged 6.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 13 minutes per game, so it wasn't hard to see this coming once Mike D'Antoni said he would "shake up" his lineups. If you speculatively picked up Sacre, it's time to return him to the waiver wire.

Mon Dec 9 201309:46Mike D'Antoni may 'shake up' starting lineup
Mike D'Antoni said that he "might have to shake up the [starting] lineup" to account for Kobe Bryant's return.
D'Antoni referred to "different dynamics" as the cause for the change. He didn't name any players, but Robert Sacre logged under 10 minutes at center on Sunday and Wes Johnson only scored two points in 25 minutes. Both of them could be living on borrowed time as starters.

Mon Dec 9 201300:31Robert Sacre plays under 10 minutes on Sunday
Robert Sacre flopped in his second start at center on Sunday, finishing with two points, one rebound and zero blocks in 10 minutes.
Mike D'Antoni's rotations have relegated Chris Kaman to DNP-CD status and quickly reduced Jordan Hill (11 points in 20 minutes) to an afterthought, so it's not shocking to see Sacre with such limited playing time. His career average of 5.7 fouls per 36 minutes is a large part of the problem -- he was benched with two quick fouls in the first few minutes on Sunday and never regained his footing. Kobe Bryant's return will send shockwaves throughout L.A.'s rotations and standard-league owners are better off watching Sacre from a distance.

Sun Dec 8 201310:58Robert Sacre may continue as Lakers' starter
Mike D'Antoni suggested that Robert Sacre may stick as the Lakers' new starting center.
Chris Kaman (back) has fallen out of the rotation, D'Antoni feels that Jordan Hill is better suited to a reserve role, and Shawne Williams has settled in with the second unit. That leaves Sacre with a nice shot to keep his job, and he impressed D'Antoni despite getting into foul trouble during his first-ever start on Friday. "I thought he played well the whole game," said D'Antoni. "He had some big stops on [Demarcus] Cousins. And I thought for the first time [starting] he looked really good." Fantasy owners should be ready to pounce on Sacre, who could become a reliable source of blocks, rebounds and a high-percentage points.

Sat Dec 7 201304:00Sacre starts, scores 11 points with two blks
Robert Sacre started at center on Friday against the Kings, scoring 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting with five rebounds and two blocks in 17 minutes.
Sacre has size and mild athleticism to go with similarly pedestrian offensive skills, but when you put it all together it wouldn't be surprising if he eventually lands on the fantasy radar when an opportunity presents itself. Keep an eye on him over the next few games to see if he can expand on his role, and likewise whether Chris Kaman and/or Jordan Hill find themselves hurt or on the outs. For now he's an extremely speculative add for center-needy owners in deep formats.
