Thaddeus Young was efficient on his nine field goal attempts, making eight of them for 18 points to go with 13 boards, one assist and four steals vs. Washington Friday.
He also made both of his free throws, which has been a bugaboo for him all year. If it wasn't for the season free throw shooting of 56.7 percent, he could be considered as a stud in standard fantasy leagues this year. Apr 12 - 9:30 PM

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young, who was 1-of-9 for three points and three boards on Tuesday, bounced back for 28 points, eight rebounds and a steal on 14-of-20 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.

That's more like it. Young's dominance may have also hurt teammate Spencer Hawes, who had his second bad game in a row, and as we said last night, Young just had a bad day on Tuesday.

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young hit just 1-of-9 shots for three points, three rebounds and two assists in Tuesday's loss.

He just had a bad night and should bounce back in his next one. But he couldn't have picked a worse time for this dud.
Apr 9 - 10:30 PM
Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young shot 9-of-13 from the field for 18 points with six boards, one assist and one steal in 41 minutes during 97-87 win over the Cavs on Friday.

He shot 0-of-2 from the line and dropped his season free throw shooting to 55.8 percent. Young is a career 70 percent shooter from the charity stripe, so his owners didn't see this horrendous drop-off coming. He still should be owned in all leagues.

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young shot 9-of-15 from the field for 18 points with one board, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes against the Nuggets on Thursday.

He's shot 55 percent from the field since returning from his hamstring injury and scoring 16.2 points with 2.3 steals. On the downside, Young is still only shooting just 52.5 percent from the line in that span, which has really held him back all year.

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young played on Monday against the Blazers despite banging his knee on Saturday, and finished with 19 points on 9-of-15 shooting, three rebounds, five assists, four steals and two blocks in 40 minutes.

In other words, everything looks fine for Young and he should be in all lineups.

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young banged his knee during the first half of Saturday's game, but he continued to play in the second half and said afterward that he felt "okay."

We'll keep an eye on Young in case the injury worsens prior to Monday's game vs. the Blazers. For now it's safe to keep him active, though, as he's averaging 19.3 points in March and said he's playing with "more energy than everybody else" after missing six games with a pulled hamstring last month.

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young stayed hot on Wednesday with 24 points and 15 rebounds on 11-of-20 shooting in a loss to the Heat.

Young is killing it right now, as he's scored between 24 and 26 points in three of his last four games, and has scored 14 or more in eight straight games with five double-doubles over that stretch. If you picked him up just before his return from a hamstring injury that cost him six games, he might help you win your league.

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young found his groove vs. the Magic on Sunday, scoring 26 points on 13-of-17 shooting, with 12 boards, two assists and a season-high five steals.

Young is averaging 2.6 steals per game in March and he's shooting 78.1 percent from the field in his past two contests. His six-game absence in February was a drag for fantasy owners, but he returned ahead of schedule and is more than making up for the inconvenience.
Mar 10 - 9:09 PM
Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young shot a blistering 12-of-15 from the field in Friday's loss to the Heat for 25 points with three boards, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes.

He's definitely back and averaged 17.6 points, 6.8 boards and 2.2 steals in his last five games. He's having a career year, so if for some reason he's still floating around on waivers from his hamstring strain last month, go get him.
Mar 9 - 12:33 AM
Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young hit 9-of-20 shots for 19 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and a block in Tuesday's loss.

He's back from his hamstring injury and playing just like he was before he went down. Make sure he's not available in your league.
Mar 5 - 10:40 PM
Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young roared back with 14 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks on Saturday, following two consecutive games in single-digits.

This was only Thad's fourth game back from his hamstring pull, and he returned before his original timetable suggested, so it's all gravy for fantasy owners. He's routinely flirting with double-doubles and it seems like he's returned to his season averages -- 14.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.
Mar 2 - 10:04 PM
Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young had another off night in a loss at Chicago on Thursday, shooting 4-of-13 from the field and 1-of-4 from the line for nine points with nine boards, one assist and two blocks in 39 minutes.

He got some playing time at center during the second quarter and it looks like he could use some WD-40 to help with his rust issue after missing three weeks from a hamstring injury. Young was a 52 percent shooter from the field before going down, but he's shot just 36.1 percent in his last three games. At least he's getting minutes and he should come around to justify his ownership in all standard leagues.

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Following Tuesday's morning shootaround, Thaddeus Young (hamstring) confirmed he has "no pain at all."

In his first game back on Sunday, Young chased around Carmelo Anthony for 36 minutes. It's a great sign that he came out of that one feeling "good." Expect another heavy workload against the Magic on Tuesday night as the reeling Sixers try to snap a five-game losing streak.

Thaddeus Young - F - 76ers

Thaddeus Young said that his hamstring felt "pretty good" following his 36 minutes on Sunday.

It was Young's first game since initially injuring the hamstring, so it's good to see he didn't aggravate the issue or come out of the game tender. Young should be locked and loaded into all lineups when he's on the floor.
