Description: Los Angeles point guard Eric Bledsoe (calf) will be available off the bench Saturday night.
Insight: Bledsoe has missed five consecutive games. His return should help the Clippers, but he was only playing an average of 16 minutes in the nine games prior to the injury. That's not enough to warrant fantasy ownership.
 
3/20/2013 9:34:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles point guard Eric Bledsoe will miss Wednesday's game versus Philadelphia with a sore left calf.
Insight: This will be his fifth straight absence. He wasn't playing many minutes before the injury so fantasy owners can cut him loose.
 
3/18/2013 10:49:00 AM
Description: Los Angeles point guard Eric Bledsoe didn't play Sunday against the Knicks and Bledsoe is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Sacramento because of a left calf injury.
Insight: There is no reason to rush Bledsoe back into the Clippers' lineup at this time. Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups, Jamal Crawford and Willie Green are all healthy and playing. Bledsoe had a nice run earlier in the year when Paul was out with a knee injury, but that seems like a lifetime ago.
 
3/16/2013 4:50:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles point guard Eric Bledsoe isn't expected to play Sunday against the Knicks. Bledsoe has missed the Clippers' past two games because of a calf injury.
Insight: The Clippers' backcourt is already bursting at the seams with the presence of Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups, Jamal Crawford and Willie Green. Bledsoe had a nice run earlier in the year when Paul was out with a knee injury but that seems like a lifetime ago. Bledsoe (9.0 ppg, 3.2 apg, 3.1 rpg) is in fantasy prison right now.
 
3/14/2013 9:51:00 AM
Description: Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe missed his second straight game with a sore left calf Wednesday night, and the Los Angeles Times says that "it doesn't look as if he will play any time soon. He can't even practice with the team."
Insight: The Clippers don't play until Sunday so Bledsoe has three full days to rest. However, even if he can return he hasn't been playing enough minutes to be a fantasy factor.
 
3/11/2013 11:04:00 AM
Description: Clippers backup point guard Eric Bledsoe is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Memphis with a sore left calf injury.
Insight: Bledsoe hasn't played more than 16 minutes in any of his last five games. He's going to need an injury to Chris Paul to be viable option this season and since it appears Paul is going to agree to play in Los Angeles next year a trade for Bledsoe to be a viable fantasy option next season.
 
3/9/2013 5:46:00 PM
Description: Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said that Eric Bledsoe is still day-to-day with a calf injury.
Insight: Bledsoe hasn't played more than 16 minutes in any of his last five games since sitting out a game with the same injury, and he hasn't scored more than seven points since Feb. 11.
 
Cold2/28/2013 7:32:00 PM
Description: Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe is back in the lineup for Thursday night's game against the Pacers.
Insight: Bledsoe sat out Tuesday because of a sore calf. He's been a nonfactor lately, producing just 6.7 ppg since Chris Paul's return from a bruised knee cap.
 
2/26/2013 9:12:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles point guard Eric Bledsoe (calf) will miss Tuesday's game against Charlotte, according to Arash Markazi of ESPNLA.com.
Insight: Jamal Crawford is also out so look for the Clippers to rely heavily on Matt Barnes, Willie Green and Caron Butler on the wing with Chauncey Billups getting around 20 minutes as well.
 
Hot2/6/2013 9:49:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles point guard Eric Bledsoe blew up for a career-high 27 points Wednesday in a win against the Magic.
Insight: The victory snapped a three-game slide for the Clippers, who were again playing without All-Stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. Bledsoe has scored 20 points or more four times in his 172 games in the NBA (five out of 183 if you include playoff games). Two of those 20-point efforts have happened in the last four days (Sunday at Boston and tonight against Orlando). The third-year guard is on a roll right now and should be started in all fantasy leagues.
 
2/3/2013 3:57:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles point guard Eric Bledsoe stuffed the stat sheet with 23 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists Sunday in a loss to the Celtics.
Insight: Bledsoe really turned it on in the second half, contributing 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Bledsoe plays the game at 100 mph, which means he's excellent on the fast break but also prone to turnovers and getting out of control.
 
1/27/2013 10:37:00 AM
Description: Clippers point guard Eric Bledsoe had 11 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in a one-point loss to Portland on Saturday night.
Insight: Bledsoe is a 6-foot-1 athletic freak who is getting a chance to start with Chris Paul (knee) sidelined indefinitely. He's averaging 12.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in six starts this season.
 
1/23/2013 11:35:00 AM
Description: Clippers backup point guard Eric Bledsoe could get a few more starts with Chris Paul sidelined indefinitely due to continuing knee problems.
Insight: Bledsoe is averaging 11.8 ppg, 4.5 rpg and 3.8 apg in four starts this season. He's got huge upside and should be claimed in all fantasy leagues.
 
1/15/2013 10:27:00 PM
Description: Clippers point guard Eric Bledsoe started in place of the injured Chris Paul Tuesday for the second straight game and scored 19 points with seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and one trey.
Insight: Paul has missed the last two games with a bruised kneecap. Fantasy owners should hit the free agent wire and grab Bledsoe immediately in case Paul has to miss Thursday's game as well.
 
1/14/2013 10:32:00 PM
Description: Clippers point guard Eric Bledsoe started in place of the injured Chris Paul Monday against the Grizzlies and scored 14 points with four assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block.
Insight: Surprisingly, Bledsoe didn't turn the ball over (he came in averaging 1.8 turnovers in 18 mpg). Paul (bruised kneecap) is unlikely to play Tuesday either. Bledsoe is a strong buy as a short-term fill-in.
 
12/17/2012 9:52:00 AM
Description: Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe is questionable for Monday's game against Detroit with a bruised left hip.
Insight: Bledsoe is playing well in a limited role. He's getting about 19 minutes per game and averaging 10 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 2.9 apg and 1.5 spg. He has a ton of talent and athleticism so look for coach Vinny Del Negro to get him more involved.
 
Hot12/10/2012 10:52:00 AM
Description: Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe scored 14 points with six assists, four rebounds, two steals and two blocks Sunday versus Toronto.
Insight: Bledsoe has scored 10 or more points in four of his last five games while shooting 50 percent in that span. He has a ton of talent and athleticism so look for coach Vinny Del Negro to continue to get him involved off the bench.
 
11/11/2012 6:01:00 PM
Description: Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe scored 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting in 19 minutes off the bench Sunday afternoon against the Hawks.
Insight: Bledsoe has scored in double figures in six of eight games this season. He should continue to get solid minutes off the bench while the team is dealing with some injuries.
 
1/9/2012 11:41:00 AM
Description: Clippers backup guard Eric Bledsoe could see additional minutes on the floor if Jamal Crawford (questionable) can't suit up.
Insight: Crawford will be a game-time decision. Bledsoe, who scored 17 points in 30 minutes Saturday, would again be the benificiary of additional minutes if Crawford can't play.
 
11/22/2010 10:00:00 AM
Description: Bledsoe will see fewer minutes now that Randy Foye is healthy enough to play, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
Insight: Bledsoe has performed well individually, but the team has taken a nosedive with him controlling the ball. If you picked him up as a short term add, it might be time to cut bait. (RapidDraft.com)
