Fantasy Basketball: Washington Wizards' Jordan Crawford Heating Up
Washington Wizards guard Jordan Crawford has eight double-digit scoring efforts in his past 10 games. The other two he went for nine points, giving him a 13.7 PPG scoring average during the stretch. Heโs been particularly hot over his past six games averaging 15.2 PPG.
Heโs been helping out in other categories as well, averaging 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers per game during his past six games. While he hasnโt shot extremely well (44.4 percent) during the stretch, it is an improvement considering heโs shooting below 40.0 percent on the year.
While even his hot streak isnโt comparable to last April and May when he averaged 19.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 18 starts, he can be a productive option. He was averaging nearly 40 minutes per game in those starts.

Barring injury, he wonโt come close to that amount of playing time, but as long as heโs averaging 20-plus minutes, he can be a spot starter.
Obviously a lot will depend on how heโs used by Randy Wittman, who surprisingly landed the head coach position despite a horrible track record.
Wittman went with a very balanced line in the battle of the have-nots last night. Ten players played at least 19 minutes and one more (Trevor Booker) checking in at nine minutes.
Given the way Wittmanโs good friend Flip Saunders was run out of town, Wittman could just be looking to see who shows a spark. Interesting times ahead in the nationโs capital.
Just remember, even bad teams often supply unlikely fantasy options.
