Al Thornton, getting extra minutes due to Eric Gordon's groin injury, had 15 points, nine boards, three assists, three blocks and a 3-pointer on 4-of-10 shooting in Wednesday's loss.
With Gordon out for at least five more games, Thornton is a decent short-term fantasy option in most leagues. Rasual Butler is also starting, but hit just 2-of-10 shots for eight points, six boards and two threes. Both Thornton and Butler are worth a serious look over the next two weeks or so.
