Chris Douglas-Roberts scored nine points on 2-of-8 shooting (including two threes) with five rebounds, two steals and one block in another start at shooting guard for Gerald Henderson (calf) on Monday.
Henderson could return as soon as Wednesday and forward-looking owners may want to make the preemptive cut since Henderson is all but certainly going to crush CDR's value. Still, it's been an impressive showing for a guy whose career appeared to be on the ropes. Mar 10 - 9:51 PM

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Bobcats coach Steve Clifford recently praised Chris Douglas-Roberts, who has scored at least 12 points in four straight games while filling in for Gerald Henderson (calf).

"It's about guys quickly getting to their spots [offensively] in case you don't score out of the first option. [Douglas-Roberts] is good at all of that stuff," Clifford said. "And defensively he knows all the coverages and gives a good effort all of the time." The Bobcats haven't provided much information about Henderson's injury and he's due to be re-evaluated this week, so CDR's shelf-life hasn't expired quite yet.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts started for the Bobcats on Saturday and hit 6-of-10 shots for 15 points, two rebounds, two steals and a 3-pointer in 30 minutes of a loss to Memphis.

Gary Neal (27 minutes, 7 points) came off the bench tonight, as Gerald Henderson missed another game with a calf injury. We still don't know when Hendo will be back, and as long as he's out, CDR looks like a safe play. He's averaging 13.25 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.75 steals and 2.5 3-pointers over his last four games. But once Henderson is back in action, all bets are off with CDR.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 14 points in his second consecutive start on Friday with nine boards, one assist, two steals, one block and four 3-pointers.

He hit his four treys early in the game and filled up the rest of the stat sheet early on, as well. Coach Steve Clifford likes Douglas-Roberts in the starting lineup and with Gerald Henderson (calf) out this weekend, CDR will get another look against the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts got the start at shooting guard on Wednesday and hit 4-of-7 shots and three 3-pointers for 12 points, two rebounds, three assists and three steals.

Gerald Henderson will miss some time with a calf injury and it looks like CDR will continue to start, as the Bobcats want to keep bringing Gary Neal off the bench in order to keep the second unit intact. Neal played 25 minutes and hit 3-of-10 shots and two 3-pointers for 10 points, four rebounds and an assist. Neither player is a must-own at this point, but as long as Henderson is out, both are worth a look in daily leagues.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts will start against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Gary Neal will come off the bench because coach Steve Clifford wants to keep his second unit together. Plus, the extra size of Douglas-Roberts will help against the length of Indiana's starting unit. If CDR gets most of his minutes at shooting guard, that likely means Anthony Tolliver and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist may see more minutes. Neal is likely a better play than CDR for a higher usage rate with the second unit.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts received six stitches above his left eye in the second quarter on Friday.

He looks like he'll be ready to return and should see some minutes tonight while the Bobcats wait for clearance on Luke Ridnour and Gary Neal.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts played under one minute during Tuesday's win vs. the Knicks, as Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's return knocked him from the rotation.

It's possible that CDR will resurface with playing time as a backup SF, but his quiet play this year suggests that he'll have zero value off the Bobcats' bench.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts briefly exited Saturday's game with a hip injury -- he started the second half but finished scoreless with zero rebounds in 29 minutes.

CDR attempted just one field goal and his ascension to the starting lineup hasn't paid off for the Bobcats, who came into this game as the No. 8 seed in the East despite their lackluster 15-22 record (fourth place in the Southeast division). Whatever value he might have will be scuttled by Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's expected return this week, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting with two 3-pointers and two boards in 27 minutes on Friday.

The 3-point shooting might have caught one's eye but with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist returning very soon owners should watch this action from the wire in almost all formats.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts started again on Tuesday and hit 2-of-4 shots (both 3-pointers) for six points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal in a loss to the Wizards.

CDR now looks like the starting small forward until Michael Kidd-Gilchrist returns, which could be as soon as late next week. He's worth a short-term look in deeper leagues, but is far from a must-own player. Anthony Tolliver, the man he replaced in the first unit, had eight points and five boards off the bench.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts replaced Anthony Tolliver in the starting lineup on Saturday night vs. the Kings in a 113-103 win, scoring 10 points, four boards, two assists, one block and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes.

He was tremendous in Thursday's game with 20 points, but a lot of that came in garbage time. Douglas-Roberts could hold some value while Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (hand) is out, so he's worth a look in deep leagues for a short-term boost. Coach Steve Clifford said after the game CDR's starting was a "matchups thing," but given how Tolliver has struggled and how well CDR has played lately, we're guessing the job is his for now.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts came off the bench for a season-high 20 points, four rebounds, two assists, a steal, a block and two 3-pointers on 6-of-8 shooting in 24 minutes on Thursday.

This game was a blowout and CDR got a lot of his goodies in garbage time. However, Anthony Tolliver continues to struggle as the starting small forward, and CDR could end up replacing him at some point, or at least make this an even timeshare. Keep a close eye on Douglas-Roberts going forward.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Chris Douglas-Roberts came off the Charlotte bench on Saturday and played 18 minutes, but missed his only shot and failed to score.

Anthony Tolliver is currently starting at small forward for the Cats, but if that doesn't work out, CDR is likely next in line. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is out indefinitely with a broken hand, while Jeff Taylor's season ended early due to a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Chris Douglas-Roberts - G/F - Bobcats

Coach Steve Clifford said he's confident Chris Douglas-Roberts could play 15 minutes if needed.

The key phrase is "if needed" and chances are Douglas-Roberts won't be asked to play that much as long as Jeff Taylor's heel injury doesn't act up. He can be left off the wire in most leagues.
