I'm a KG owner and I'm thinking long and hard about benching him this week. While the Celts are one of the few teams that have 6 games left, I fully expect Kevin to sit out at least one and have his minutes limited to 20-25 in the others. I really production out of his spot this week and I'm wondering if I couldn't get more out of a FA this week considering the circumstances. Here are my best options, as I see them, including a couple of guys already on my bench. Who is my best option?
9 Cat, Weekly League. Roster locks at the start of the first game of the week and will be locked until the end of the matchup/season. All of the guys below have 5 games.
Bench:
Shaq - The Suns might be playing for a higher seed down to the wire
Travis Outlaw - I could go small, he's been playing well lately
FA:
Rasho - I don't know why, but he's on a roll. But...it's Rasho
Jeff Foster - Inconsistant, but capable of monster games
Erick Dampier - Also inconsistant, but assured of PT
Josh Powell - Rather good lately, could see major PT with Kaman out
Spencer Hawes - Good minutes in the last few
Any and all help is more than appreciated. Please drop a comment. Thanks.

From that group,I'd leave Hawes,Foster and Dampier out of consideration.
Rasho is a big risk,he has been great lately but suddenly he can again turn into 5 pt 5 rbd player.
Shaq will hurt you a lot in Ft%,not to mention that Phoenix might rest him in the last two games.
So it goes down to Outlaw and Powell.Depending on your match-up,if you want big man stats,go with Powell.He is fighting for a roster spot for next year and trying to make a name for himself so you can expect him to give his 100% until the last game.
I expect him to put 10/8/1.3 bpg in the remaining games
In Portland,Pryzbilla is out for season so expect them to go small with LMA at 5 and Outlaw at 4 so I expect something like 15/6/2/1/1 with 1 three
Thus I'd go with Outlaw at this point.

I'm playing for the championship. Not sure how much of a shot I've got but I'm there. I ended up starting both KG and Travis Outlaw. I opted to bench Ron Arest instead of Garnett. Partially because of the extra game and partially because of his shaky injury situation and the fact that the Kings have little else to play for. Outlaw didn't give me much, but Ron Ron sat out (whew). I'm optimistic that Outlaw will improve and that he won't be in quite so much early foul trouble the next time out. Regardless, he gave me more than Artest would have from the pine! Knock on some wood for me, thanks guys.
