Description: Los Angeles Clippers forward Lamar Odom had 18 points with six rebounds, one steal and two threes in 23 minutes Saturday against Utah.
Insight: Believe it or not, the 18 points are a season high for Odom. In fact, Saturday was just the second time this season Odom has scored in double figures.
 
2/18/2013 12:12:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles Clippers forward Lamar Odom is probable for Thursday's game against San Antonio with a scratched eye.
Insight: Odom plays the same position as superstar Blake Griffin so hasn't seen a ton of minutes this season (19 mpg) and that's not going to change except for an injury. He's averaging 3.7 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 1.9 apg and won't have fantasy value unless he sees 30 minutes a game.
 
12/25/2012 1:00:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles Clippers forward Lamar Odom is questionable for Tuesday's game against Denver with a sprained left ankle.
Insight: Odom plays the same position as Blake Griffin so hasn't seen a ton of minutes this season (16 mpg). He's averaging 3.2 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 1.2 apg and won't have fantasy value unless he sees a lot more minutes.
 
10/27/2012 6:16:00 PM
Description: Los Angeles forward Lamar Odom is questionable for Wednesday night's season opener against Memphis. Odom has been bothered by a bruised foot.
Insight: Odom plays the same position as Blake Griffin so he probably won't see a ton of minutes this season. It probably doesn't help that he supposedly reported to training camp out of shape.
 
10/25/2012 9:49:00 AM
Description: Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said he hopes forward Lamar Odom (knee) can play in the season opener, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Insight: Odom came into camp out of shape and overweight and has been dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee. He has a lot to prove before we recommend him in fantasy.
 
10/18/2012 4:55:00 PM
Description: Clippers forward Lamar Odom is reportedly out of shape and overweight, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Insight: "He's got to work through some conditioning things and some health things right now, which he's doing," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Yeah, I wish he was in a little bit better conditioning, and he wishes he was. But he's just got to continue to work every day and I'm sure he'll get there eventually." We're not so sure after Odom lost his desire to play once he was traded to Dallas last season. If a move back to Los Angeles isn't going to motivate him, nothing will.
 
6/29/2012 9:08:00 PM
Description: Dallas has dealt forward Lamar Odom to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of a four-team trade. Odom spent one season in Dallas, where he averaged 6.6 ppg.
Insight: The forward now moves back to the team that drafted him fourth overall in 1999, and the city where he thrived for seven seasons prior to 2011-12. Odom in Dallas was never a good fit, as the 6-foot-10 New York native has made it clear that he needs to live by a beach. Now that he's back in Los Angeles, he should be able to recapture some of his past success.
 
4/9/2012 2:22:00 PM
Description: Lamar Odom and the Dallas Mavericks have parted ways.
Insight: Odom is not available to another team as he has not been released and will be paid through the remainder of the season. The 2012 version of Odom was not fantasy worthy (6.6 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 1.7 apg) and played nothing like the 2010-11 Sixth Man of the Year (14.4 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 3.0 apg).
 
4/3/2012 4:42:00 PM
Description: Lamar Odom was back at practice Tuesday but is still questionable for Wednesday night's game against Memphis. Odom has been sick since Friday.
Insight: Odom only scored in double figures twice in March so we're not expecting much, even if he is in the lineup Wednesday.
 
4/2/2012 7:58:00 PM
Description: Lamar Odom will miss Monday night's game against the Clippers with an illness.
Insight: Odom has had a high fever since Friday, when he left the game after playing just 13 minutes. Brandan Wright (6.4 ppg, 3.1 rpg) might get a few more minutes with Odom out of the lineup tonight, but probably still not enough to be considered fantasy relevant.
 
4/1/2012 3:49:00 PM
Description: Lamar Odom was sent home from practice with a fever. It's the same illness that forced Odom to exit Friday's game against the Magic after playing only 13 minutes.
Insight: Odom has not been particularly helpful in fantasy this season (6.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg). For now, he's questionable for Monday night's game against the Clippers.
 
5/8/2011 7:36:00 PM
Description: Lamar Odom committed a flagrant-2 to end his day that included 10 points and two boards in 18 minutes.
Insight: Odom hacked Dirk in the fourth quarter and he certainly deserved to be ejected. He had a very nice season this year even as Gasol and Bynum stayed fairly healthy. He'll probably slide in your draft, which makes him a value pick in the late-middle rounds.
 
5/3/2011 2:30:00 AM
Description: Lamar Odom showed Jason Terry and Co. a thing or two about being a productive sixth man with 15 points and 12 boards in 31 minutes.
Insight: Odom, Bynum, and Gasol are going to drive the Mavericks insane in this series and keeping them all in check seems like a futile effort. Sure, they got a lot better than previous years with the addition of Tyson Chanlder, but it is far from a strength. No other Laker besides Kobe scored more than 15, so the Mavs picked the right poison.
 
4/28/2011 11:30:00 PM
Description: Lamar Odom showcased his skills as the Sixth Man of the Year with a positive game of 14 points, eight boards, four assists, and a three in the win.
Insight: Odom is a tough cover for any team for a player of his size that can handle the ball. It's looking like the Lakers are the favorite all over again.
 
3/23/2011 2:02:00 AM
Description: Lamar Odom played 55 minutes on Noche Latino of Tuesday that yielded a line of 29 points, 16 boards, five dimes, and a three in the win over Phoenix.
Insight: Odom owners might be wondering how they can get Andrew Bynum more games added to his suspension. 55 minutes is a huge statement of what a great player Odom is at his age and he should still be well worth starting when Bynum returns for the weekend.
 
2/10/2011 11:23:00 PM
Description: Andrew Bynum had 16 points, nine boards, and a block in the starting gig against Boston on Thursday. Lamar Odom came off the bench with a double-double that included 10 points, 12 boards, a steal, three blocks, and a trey in the victory.
Insight: Several fantasy owners put a lot of stock into whether a player starts or not, but Odom should not have a problem sustaining top-70 value even while Andrew Bynum is healthy.
 
2/2/2011 1:22:00 AM
Description: Lamar Odom did what everyone expected him to do, and that's step up with Andrew Bynum out of the lineup. He produced a Kevin Love-like 20 points, 20 boards, four assists, and two threes in the overtime win.
Insight: Bynum might be out for their next game and Odom is set to be one of the better rebounding guys in the league until he returns. He's not really a player owners should be shopping because of how Bynum will need to rest down the stretch.
 
1/13/2011 5:05:00 PM
Description: Odom's current problem with his left shoulder is not related to the previous labrum repair he has had.
Insight: Odom's new pain is between his shoulder and his neck, and it's a result of the "whiplash" effect from a fall last week. He scored 16 points in the fourth quarter last night and looked fine. (RapidDraft.com)
 
1/6/2011 5:04:00 PM
Description: Despite having a sore left shoulder, Odom plans to play Friday.
Insight: He fell hard on his elbow against the Suns on Wednesday, but appears to have escaped without an injury. (RapidDraft.com)
 
12/17/2010 11:02:00 PM
Description: Odom had a great game against the 76ers with 28 points, eight rebounds and three assists.
Insight: It's not yet known how Bynum will affect Odom's minutes, but it hasn't slowed him down so far, but Bynum is not yet in the starting lineup. Right now might be a great time to trade Odom while his value is still high and he's still producing. (RapidDraft.com)
