Houston Rockets swingman Chase Budinger has replaced the recently traded Shane Batter in the starting line up. He took advantage of his new role by putting up 27 points, 3 three-pointers, and 6 rebounds against the New Jersey Nets.
The Breakdown
Budinger is a must add in deep leagues and will be worth rostering in shallower formats if he continues to see 30+ minutes a night. Chase is a great source of points and threes, though he can also help out in rebounds and steals. Fantasy owners that could use a boost in those categories should consider making him a speculative pick up now.
