Anthony Tolliver started at SF for the banged-up Hawks on Saturday, but he finished scoreless with just one rebound and four personal fouls.
Kyle Korver was a game-time decision but wound up resting the whole game, and Josh Smith (knee) and Al Horford (hamstring) were also out, which opened up 25 minutes of action for Tolliver. If only he had done something valuable with the time. Apr 6 - 11:16 PM

Anthony Tolliver scored 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting (all threes) with seven rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Tolliver didn't have a steal or block, and this is what he's capable of if he can ever show any consistency. Since he has failed in that department all season long, owners should look at this outing with plenty of skepticism.
Mar 29 - 10:48 PM

Anthony Tolliver started against the Heat for matchup purposes on Tuesday but missed both his shots and failed to score in 25 minutes.

He did have five rebounds, but had posted some interesting stat lines recently, including 21 points and eight rebounds on March 6. Deep-leaguers should keep an eye on him, but he's now failed to score in two straight games, meaning he's no longer worth a pickup in any league.
Mar 12 - 11:10 PM

Anthony Tolliver will start at power forward on Tuesday against the Heat.

Tolliver replaces Johan Petro in the starting lineup and DeShawn Stevenson will draw the start in Kyle Korver's place, and on the latter duo owners can treat them how they normally would. Tolliver has made some noise lately but has also been inconsistent, but in a deep league as a spot-starter he's worth a look.

Anthony Tolliver followed up his 21-point, eight-rebound night on Wednesday with five points on 1-of-7 shooting, six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 34 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Tolliver has always been worth watching when he lucks into some minutes, and with Zaza Pachulia battling an Achilles' injury and Ivan Johnson dealing with a dislocated finger it's possible he gets some run. How long he can play sustained minutes and whether or not he can hold any real value are good questions, but he's worth a look and probably best suited for deeper formats at this time.
Mar 9 - 1:29 AM

Anthony Tolliver had 21 points, eight rebounds, five 3-pointers and two blocks in 26 minutes off the bench Wednesday.

It's this kind of versatile, unique skill set that makes Tolliver an annual intriguing name in fantasy circles. The problem is that we can't always count on a major role. Prior to these last two outbursts, Tolliver hadn't topped 18 minutes since Feb. 13. It's going to be very difficult to predict when he'll be getting enough playing time to warrant a fantasy start.
Mar 6 - 10:37 PM

Anthony Tolliver hit 3-of-7 shots (3-of-6 from deep) for nine points with two rebounds and one block in a start at power forward on Monday.

Tolliver (36 minutes) and Dahntay Jones (four points, two rebounds, three assists, 35 minutes) both started with DeShawn Stevenson and Kyle Korver both out. Even if both of those guys miss time, one would have to be in a massive format to consider a spot-play of either player.
Mar 4 - 11:43 PM

Anthony Tolliver scored seven points on 3-of-6 shooting with two rebounds, three blocks, and one three in 18 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Tolliver missed shootaround because his wife had a baby, and he needs to produce before fantasy owners pay him much attention.
Feb 22 - 11:40 PM

Anthony Tolliver was not at Hawks shootaround on Friday because ha and his wife just had a child.

Congratulations to the Tolliver family. The Hawks play the Kings on Friday, and it's not currently known if Tolliver will be available to play. If he's out, the starting lineup will likely change.
Feb 22 - 10:56 AM

Anthony Tolliver was quiet in his start on Friday, scoring five points on 2-of-4 shooting (including a three) with five rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes.

Tolliver has the ability to make some deep-league noise if given the minutes and touches, but we're not sure he's going to get either in Atlanta's scheme.
Feb 9 - 12:13 AM

Anthony Tolliver will start once again in Friday's game against the Hornets.

DeShawn Stevenson (knee) is out. Tolliver started on Wednesday as well, posting eight points, seven rebounds and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes. His roto-friendly game makes him someone to watch in deep formats.
Feb 8 - 2:15 PM

Anthony Tolliver started for the Hawks and had eight points, seven rebounds, a block and two 3-pointers in Wednesday's win.

He played 28 minutes as DeShawn Stevenson sat out with a balky knee. Tolliver will be worth keeping an eye on if he sticks in the starting unit, but whether or not that will happen remains to be seen. He has some fantasy intrigue if he gets minutes, as he can hit threes and block shots, as he usefully demonstrated tonight.
Feb 6 - 11:56 PM

Anthony Tolliver scored a season-high 13 points with four rebounds, one block and two 3-pointers in 20 minutes in a 102-94 win over the Cavs on Friday.

He shot 5-of-7 from the field and got some extra run with Josh Smith missing the fourth quarter. J-Smoove could be out on Saturday, so owners looking for a spot-start in deeper leagues may look to Tolliver.
Sat, Dec 29, 2012 12:57:00 AM

Anthony Tolliver could start on Wednesday if DeShawn Stevenson is rested.

With a full slate of games on Wednesday, owners looking for a spot-start can do much better than Tolliver, who hasn't cracked double-digits in the scoring department all season.
Wed, Dec 12, 2012 12:24:00 PM

Anthony Tolliver had just six points and three rebounds in 23 minutes on Sunday, despite starting at PF for injured Josh Smith (ankle).

Smith could return as soon as Wednesday, which makes Tolliver an even less appealing fantasy option.
