Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 18 points on 7-of-17 shooting with 14 rebounds, one steal and one block in Friday's 89-79 loss to the Heat.
MKG got a cream puff matchup at the wings with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade out tonight, and he has been awful lately for fantasy owners. Still, maybe this is the game that gets him going and perhaps the Bobcats focus on developing him. Owners should watch closely, and we wouldn't rule out a speculative add if you're feeling very lucky. Apr 5 - 11:56 PM

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had just four points in 17 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Sixers.

It was Kidd-Gilchrist's first game back from a personal absence, but that did not appear to be behind his limited minutes. The Bobcats were just playing better ball with Ben Gordon and Reggie Williams in the game. MKG will continue to be an inconsistent fantasy option thanks to his limitations offensively.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) is expected to return on Wednesday.

MKG didn't play on Monday but he's fully expected back on Wednesday and should be in the starting lineup.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist called his first season in the NBA "a true grind."

MKG is beginning to feel the effects of what an 82-game season feels like, a typical sentiment for rookies. Despite the comment, Kidd-Gilchrist had a productive March with averages of 9.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks on 48.9 percent shooting. "I love Charlotte," Kidd-Gilchrist said. "I mean, I like everything about our basketball team."

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will not play on Monday due to personal family issues.

Hopefully everything works out for MKG and his family. Jeff Adrien and Jeff Taylor figure to be the biggest beneficiaries in his absence, though neither jumps out as a fantasy option.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting in a futile effort vs. Philadelphia, and he also grabbed nine rebounds in 34 minutes.

This was MKG's first 20-point game since late December. We remain wary of his inconsistency, but he has quietly scored double-digits in four of the past five games and it seems Mike Dunlap is starting to give him a bit more freedom. He has enough versatility to be an 'x-factor' pickup in the final weeks of the season.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had a solid game against the Knicks with 14 points, eight boards, one assist, one steal and one block in 31 minutes.

After a disgusting February that included MKG shooting 31.0 percent from the field, he's been able to turn it around in March, shooting a respectable 45 percent. Some of his improvement can be chalked up to Gerald Henderson getting to the rim and causing the defense to collapse, but Kidd-Gilchrist is worth a look now for now.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

The Bobcats lost by 32 points in Miami on Sunday, despite Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scoring 13 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in 32 minutes of action.

This is notable because it's just the second time in nine weeks that MKG has cracked 30 minutes in a game. We've expected Mike Dunlap to turn him loose for a few weeks now, but thus far he's been a disappointment, failing to crack the top-200 in nine-cat leagues.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting with seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes on Monday against the Wizards.

MKG has been very unreliable and he needs to keep doing this to solidify his position as a roster stash, and from there he needs to start cashing in on all of that upside. If you're tired of waiting around for it to happen we'd understand, but it might not be time to pull the trigger on a night he took a small step forward.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had an awful night on Friday against the Raptors, hitting just 2-of-12 shots for four points, three rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes.

MKG is still a roster stash at this point and he's going to have to start showing something before this year simply becomes a bust year for him. He's still worth stashing in standard formats, but he's not a must-stash player by any means.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist shot 1-of-5 from the field against the Thunder on Friday, scoring two points with three boards, two assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes.

The Thunder kept him out of the paint and MKG came back to Earth tonight. He was heating up due primarily to him attacking the basket. In his previous two games, he attempted 14 shots at the rim, which is way up from his 2013 average of 3.5 per game. The loss of Ramon Sessions should open things up for MKG and he’s worth owning standard leagues.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist admitted that he's still working his way back from the concussion he sustained earlier this season.

"I'm trying to bounce back right now, still" he said. MKG has played much better over his last two games with averages of 17 points, 7.5 boards and 1.0 steals, and it appears he's finally making some real progress on the court. "This is the Michael we drafted," Mike Dunlap added. The coaching staff is working daily with him on his jump shot, something he'll have to keep improving in order to keep the opposition honest when defending him.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist led the Bobcats with 17 points on Wednesday, along with five rebounds and two steals on 8-of-13 shooting in 32 minutes.

He also had 17 points and 10 boards on Monday, and it looks like the Bobcats are ready to officially turn him loose. They're getting blown out nightly and there's no reason to not just let the kids run. And MKG should be a big beneficiary going forward, and we'd recommend giving him a look in all leagues at this point. And in keeper leagues, he is nearly a must-own player.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting with 10 rebounds in Monday's loss.

MKG did not have a steal, block or assist and that's just strange when he's logging 28 minutes. The good news is that his offensive game has been holding him back and he got things moving on that front. If he is floating around your waiver wire give him strong consideration knowing he has upside down the stretch.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - F - Bobcats

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist bounced back from a terrible night on Tuesday to score eight points on 4-of-11 shooting with four rebounds, two steals and one block in 27 minutes on Friday.

That this represents a bounce-back effort for MKG is disappointing, but that's what happens when you throw up mostly goose eggs as he did on Tuesday. His defensive ability and chance for being given developmental minutes gives him upside, but owners will likely want to keep him on their bench until he shows consistency.
