Lowry and Gordon are both especially injury prone players and Davis is out himself for the time being. However, Irving is an overrated fantasy player in my book and I'd probably take Lowry before I would take him.

I might pass until you find out more about Gordon and about Davis. I'll let the others weigh in though.

I would do it, but you have to ride out the Gordon injury, and he's becoming increasingly injury prone for some reason. It's like he just doesn't want to play for the Hornets. It'll be interesting to see what kind of shape he's in when he's back, and it's most definitely a high risk pickup. I really like Lowry though, and I think he's the best fantasy player of the bunch, and if Gordon can come back to 100%, it would be a steal of a trade. It's definitely not a clear-cut decision though, and I would weigh my options if I were you before jumping into anything. Maybe see if you can't get something better than Favors?

Yeah. It's extremely probable that Gordon will be out for the remainder of the season. I too think Lowry brings more fantasy value than Kyrie Irving, but I think once AD returns he will have the most fantasy value of all. I'm projecting being able to win me REB and BLK every week with him as the cornerstone, except when I face off against D12.
