Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason caught fire in the fourth quarter and finished with a season-high 17 points, five rebounds, a steal, a block and three 3-pointers on 6-of-7 shooting.

This was Mason's sixth double-figure scoring game of the season and he simply got hot late. Ignore him in all but the deepest of leagues.

Jan 10 - 12:22 AM

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason Jr. played just 15 minutes on Saturday and he may be on the bubble as the Hornets' starting SG.

Monty Williams said recently that he would shake up the backcourt if he didn't see defensive improvement, but it's not as though Austin Rivers or Darius Miller have done anything to deserve a promotion. No matter who is starting, fantasy owners should swerve to avoid Mason Jr.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason started at shooting guard over rookie Austin Rivers and had nine points, seven rebounds, two assists, a steal and three 3-pointers on 3-of-12 shooting.

The shooting was obviously awful, but the rest of his line looked pretty good. Rivers had just three points in 16 minutes and dropping him for Mason in deep leagues makes some sense, but only if Mason is going to hold onto the job long term. And we just don't know if it's going to happen or not.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason will start over rookie Austin Rivers for the Hornets on Friday.

Anthony Davis will miss another game with his ankle injury, and Monty Williams will apparently see what Mason can do as a starter. If Mason were to win this job outright, he'll be worth keeping an eye on deeper fantasy leagues.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason scored eight points off the bench on Monday, hitting 3-of-9 shots (including two threes) with four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 19 minutes.

If Austin Rivers' ankle injury keeps him out for any length of time, then Mason will carry some short-term value for his 3-point shooting and that's it.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason said that he signed with the Hornets because it "presented the best opportunity for me on the court."

Mason had drawn interest from the Lakers, Thunder and Bulls, but those teams couldn't offer a big role off the bench, and that's what he "expects to play for the Hornets." Mason also revealed that the opportunity to be a veteran leader in a young organization appealed to him as well. He's expected to serve as the backup shooting guard behind Eric Gordon.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Hornets sign G Roger Mason.

Mason gives the neophyte Hornets some veteran guidance, but won't emerge with a fantasy-worthy role unless Eric Gordon misses time with an injury. For his career, Mason has averaged 6.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.1 minutes per game.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Unrestricted FA Roger Mason Jr. has agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Hornets.

The deal is for one year and at the veteran's minimum salary. Mason has said he loves the direction the Hornets are going and will be another athletic swing player competing for minutes in New Orleans this season. He will back up Eric Gordon and Austin Rivers and won't have any fantasy value unless injuries strike.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Unrestricted FA Roger Mason Jr. is drawing interest from the Lakers, Bulls, Thunder and Hornets.

Mason is also reportedly not interested in playing for the veteran's minimum on a one-year deal as his been the case over the last two seasons. The Lakers remain in search of a backup shooting guard, the Bulls could use more depth at shooting guard and it's conceivable the Hornets are searching for an experienced player on a youthful roster. The only team listed here that doesn't make a ton of sense is the Thunder.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Unrestricted free agent Roger Mason Jr. will have the pin removed from his surgically-repaired finger on Tuesday.

The veteran ended the season on the sidelines due to the injury. He said "we'll see" when asked if he'd return to the Wizards next season, but Washington may not have interest in retaining him as the team transitions toward the future.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Unrestricted free agent Roger Mason Jr. is optimistic about returning to the Wizards.

Mason's status with the Wizards will depend on who they get in the draft. If they land a wing such as Kentucky's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist or Florida's Bradley Beal, Mason may not have a roster spot. The Wiz know there's no rush to make a decision on him.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason will have season-ending finger surgery Monday.

Mason played 52 games for the Wizards, averaging 5.5 points in 13.4 minutes. The Wizards will waive Mason, making him an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason scored 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting (including five threes) with five rebounds and two assists against a browbeaten Bobcats squad on Monday.

Mason logged 30 minutes tonight and has scored in double-figures in all but 1-of-6 April games now, averaging just under 12 points and 2.5 threes over that span. There are a lot of free minutes right now in the Wizards reserve unit, but Mason is only for the crowd that's trolling for 3-pointers late in the year.

Roger Mason Jr. - G - Pelicans

Roger Mason went scoreless against the Pacers on Thursday, missing all five of his shots with just one rebound to his credit over 15 minutes.

Mason had shown up as a blip on the radar, but this returns him to irrelevant status in fantasy leagues.

Depth Charts

All Positions
Pos	Role	Name
PG	1	Greivis Vasquez
	2	Brian Roberts
SG	1	Eric Gordon Sidelined Eric Gordon admitted he had been dealing with painful bone spurs in his left ankle since the All-Star break. Gordon missed the first 29 games of the season with right knee woes. He proceeded to sit out 11 more thanks to both knee precautions and the ankle pain. "My ankle bothered me everyday, even on days when I wasn't active," Gordon said. He underwent a scope last week to remove particles of scar tissue from his ankle. Gordon says he'll be 100 percent by camp, but we'll believe it when we see it. May 14
	2	Austin Rivers Sidelined Austin Rivers says he would prefer to play point guard next season. Rivers was drafted as a bit of a combo guard and the Hornets used him at shooting guard while Eric Gordon was sidelined. Of course, Rivers had arguably the worst rookie season ever, at least from a shooting point of view. The rookie shot just 37 percent from the field and 32 percent from 3-point range in 61 games. "I played best when I was a one. Moving forward, that's what I'm going to try to do," Rivers said. May 1
	3	Roger Mason Jr.
	4	Terrel Harris
	5	Xavier Henry
SF	1	Al-Farouq Aminu
	2	Lance Thomas
	3	Darius Miller
PF	1	Anthony Davis Sidelined Anthony Davis said his biggest focus for the offseason is to get stronger. Davis' 6'10/220 frame just couldn't handle the NBA's bigger interior players. It also played a role in him missing 18 games (21.9 percent) as a rookie. The fact that Davis was still able to average 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks speaks to his monstrous upside. Still just 20 years old, the Kentucky product has plenty of room for explosive growth. Apr 16
	2	Ryan Anderson
	3	Louis Amundson
C	1	Robin Lopez
	2	Jason Smith Sidelined Jason Smith (shoulder surgery) has one year left on his contract at $2.5 million, but it's only guaranteed for $1 million if he's waived before June 30th. Smith said recently that he's "making progress" in his rehab and it will be interesting to see if the Pelicans keep him on their roster -- $2.5 million isn't unreasonable for a solid backup PF/C, but Smith seems injury-prone after having three major surgeries in the past six years.
