Mon Apr 14 2014 | 19:01 | Francisco Garcia says he's playing on Monday |
Francisco Garcia said he will play against the Spurs on Monday. |
The Rockets will be close to full strength while the Spurs will not. Garcia won't have much of a chance to shine with Chandler Parsons (wrist, hip) good to go. He's not a fantasy option. |

Mon Apr 14 2014 | 18:28 | Francisco Garcia true GTD on Monday |
Francisco Garcia will be a true game-time decision on Monday due to a back injury. |
He's too risky to use in any fantasy leagues right now, but could end up having some decent silly-season production if he's able to go tonight. |

Mon Apr 14 2014 | 12:04 | Francisco Garcia (back) may return Monday |
Francisco Garcia (back) went through Monday's shootaround and he may return to action vs. the Spurs. |
Garcia is averaging 24 minutes per game in March but his role fluctuates from night to night, and he doesn't get enough statistics to be worth a roster spot in average fantasy leagues. |

Francisco Garcia (back) will not play against the Pelicans on Saturday. |
He's dealing with a lower back issues and is hoping to be back on Monday vs. the Spurs. Omri Casspi is getting the start tonight and should see a nice chunk of minutes. Expect to see a lot of Jordan Hamilton, as well. |

Tue Feb 11 2014 | 00:28 | Francisco Garcia scores six in return on Mon |
Francisco Garcia returned to action on Monday with six points, one board, one assist, one block and two 3-pointers in 12 minutes. |
He was supposed to play against the Bucks on Saturday, but never had a chance. Garcia is basically out of the rotation and will not have fantasy value on the Rockets. The Rockets do have him on the trade block, which still is highly unlikely to help his fantasy value. |

Sat Feb 8 2014 | 19:11 | Francisco Garcia may play a little vs. Bucks |
Francisco Garcia (knee) could see some playing time against the Bucks on Saturday night. |
He hasn't play since Jan. 16 with a knee issue and was expected to play on Wednesday. Garcia might not even be in the rotation due to shooting 30.0 percent in his 18.0 minutes per game in January, so he's well off the radar in fantasy leagues. |

Wed Feb 5 2014 | 13:04 | Francisco Garcia (knee) will return Wednesday |
Francisco Garcia (knee) said that he will return to action vs. the Suns on Wednesday. |
Garcia hasn't played since Jan. 16 and he's likely to play limited minutes as he regains his conditioning. He was limited to single-digit scoring in 13 consecutive games prior to his injury, which says enough about his lack of fantasy appeal. |

Tue Feb 4 2014 | 11:43 | Francisco Garcia hopes to return Wednesday |
Francisco Garcia (knee) hopes to return Wednesday against the Suns. |
Garcia has missed the Rockets' last eight games with his sore left knee, but practiced on Monday and could be available Wednesday night. Garcia had only taken 31 shots in the 13 games before his injury, so his scoring upside is quite limited. While he can be a semi-valuable fantasy option as an injury fill-in, Garcia is best left on waivers in deeper leagues. |

Fri Jan 31 2014 | 15:19 | Francisco Garcia back at practice on Friday |
Francisco Garcia (knee) was back at practice on Friday afternoon. |
He's been out of the lineup since Jan. 16 due to left knee tendinitis. Garcia is believed to be on the trade block for the Rockets and has decreased his productivity as the season has progressed. Even if he comes back before James Harden (thumb), he's still only an option in very deep leagues. |

Mon Jan 27 2014 | 15:58 | Francisco Garcia 'dangled' in trade talks |
The Rockets have "dangled" Francisco Garcia in trade talks, according to Yahoo! Sports. |
He's pretty much been useless for the Rockets and couldn't get anything going even when the team was depleted on the perimeter. Garcia has almost no fantasy value right now and a trade wouldn't help enough to stash him in almost any format. |

Mon Jan 27 2014 | 14:55 | Francisco Garcia (knee) still not practicing |
Francisco Garcia (knee tendinitis) was unable to practice on Monday. |
Garcia was initially ruled out for a week but that was 10 days ago. Omer Asik (thigh, knee) was also unable to practice and there's no timetable for either guy to return. |

Sat Jan 18 2014 | 19:30 | Francisco Garcia to miss one week of action |
Francisco Garcia is dealing with knee tendinitis and will miss the next week. |
He was already ruled out for a sore left knee and the Rockets are just going to rest him until he's healthy. The good news is Chandler Parsons is back and they'll be getting Patrick Beverley back on Monday. Garcia has very little fantasy value. |

Francisco Garcia won't play on Saturday due to a sore left knee. |

Sun Dec 29 2013 | 00:46 | Francisco Garcia scoreless again Saturday |
Francisco Garcia missed all four of his shots and failed to score in Saturday's win. |
Those of you who started him for five games this week have to be frustrated, and even if he does anything in Sunday's Game 5, he's simply not worth owning as long as James Harden can walk. Garcia can get hot and post a big line at any time, but he is in a real funk, totaling just nine points in his four games this week. Yuck. |

Sat Dec 21 2013 | 23:30 | Francisco Garcia plays well in start |
Francisco Garcia started in place of James Harden (ankle) and hit 6-of-11 shots and four 3-pointers for 16 points, five rebounds, four assists and a block in Saturday's win. |
Any time Harden is out, Garcia and Omri Casspi will eat up his minutes, while Dwight Howard will also help pick up his scoring slack. Casspi played 31 minutes off the bench and hit 5-of-9 shots and a 3-pointer for 13 points, six rebounds and seven assists, but it doesn't sound like Harden is expected to miss much time. |

Sat Dec 21 2013 | 19:29 | Francisco Garcia is starting for Rockets |
Francisco Garcia will start in place of the James Harden on Saturday against the Pistons. |
The Rockets are getting thin at guard with Harden and Jeremy Lin out of the lineup. Garcia has been up and down all year, but he has a huge opportunity here. |
