Fantasy Basketball: Hit up Ersan Ilyasova and Chris Kaman for Rebounding Help

By • on February 14, 2012

. Ersan Ilyasova wasn’t exactly brilliant last night collecting seven points and six rebounds. In his past 12 games he has six games with double-figure rebounds, including a season-high 19 on January 25th. Over that 13 game stretch he has averaged 9.8 rebounds. He added 10.1 ppg and 0.8 as well. As an added bonus, he knocked down five three-pointers during the stretch. . With Andrew Bogut out he should continue to see heavy minutes, which in turn leads to solid rebound numbers and unexpected three-pointers. He won’t blow you away with his scoring, but he can see double-figures on occasion. . Ilyasova is owned in 36.0 percent of Yahoo! and 31.2 percent of ESPN leagues. . Meanwhile Chris Kaman is coming off a monster 27 point, 13 rebound effort starting in place of Emeka Okafor. Even if Okafor isn’t sidelined for many games with his knee injury, there is no doubt that Kaman has earned himself additional playing time with his outburst. . Kaman missed Friday’s game with an ankle injury of his own, but in the past three games in which he’s played he has averaged 18.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals, and 2.0 blocks. While I don’t expect him to put up anything near those numbers the rest of the way, he did post a 18.5 ppg, 9.2 rpb, 1.6 apg, 1.2 bpg back in the 2009-10 season for the Clippers. . Kaman is owned in about three-quarters of ESPN leagues, but only a little over half of Yahoo! leagues. That number will sure to rise quickly thanks to last night’s game. . So if you are in the market for some rebounds, take a look at these two options. . .
