Recently, Stephen Jackson has been a very good fantasy basketball player. Over his last five games, Jackson is averaging more than 23 points, more than nine assists and nearly six rebounds. Additionally, he’s shooting well from both the field and from the free throw line.

If you have Jackson on your team, obviously you should sit him for Tuesday’s game if you have the chance. While the Warriors have a lot of players who can replace his production, the leading candidates include Monta Ellis and Corey Maggette. If you want to role the dice, you could pick up Kelenna Azubuike or Anthony Randolph and hope for a big game with Jackson out.

Although Don Nelson has indicated that he may rest some of his veteran players down the stretch, Jackson remains a must start in virtually every format. He turns the ball over and he can be streaky from the perimeter, however he’s too explosive and too productive to sit.

Kelenna Azubuike, Golden State Warriors
Some fantasy owners have begun to sour on Azubuike. He started the season off very good but has slowly started to see more pine time. However, the think to keep in mind is that Don Nelson loves to switch around his lineup. Before you know it, Azubuike could go back to the starting lineup.

Marquis Daniels, Indiana Pacers
Daniels has very good games but then will have a string of bad games. Part of the problem is inconsistent minutes. Another part of the problem is a sore knee that flares up. However, if Daniels can ever keep it going, he has a game that is very conducive to fantasy basketball. He can do it all and is pretty efficient when he’s playing well.

Juan Carlos Navarro, Memphis Grizzlies
Navarro is a chucker who can get point on the board in a hurry. He’s also showed some capabilities as a contributor on the glass and in the passing department. His biggest asset remains his shooting. If you need three-point shooting, Navarro is a great choice as long as he’s getting minutes.

John Salmons, Sacramento Kings
With Mike Bibby sidelined, Salmons is putting up fantastic fantasy stats. If he’s available, run to your waiver wire and pick him up. He has another three months to play with Bibby out, during which time he should be able to put up very nice fantasy stats.

Damien Wikins, Seattle Supersonics
Wilkins is off to a very good start to his fantasy season. He’s always been able to score and now that he’s getting more shots, he’s scoring at a very good clip. Even more exciting for fantasy owners are his rebounding numbers (7.0 per game) and his assists numbers (4.0 per game).

Ronnie Brewer, Utah Jazz
Brewer has been a favorite on this blog for over a month and he hasn’t disappointed. He’s off to a great start both in real life and fantasy. He’s averaging 16.3 points and 2.8 steals per game over the first four contests.

Kelenna Azubuike, Golden State Warriors
Azubuike is fitting well in Don Nelson’s system. Starting for the Warriors, Azubuike is averaging 20.3 points per game on 65% shooting from the field.

Azubuike sweet dunk over Chris Kaman …
