Kleiza shows a lot of promise: Nuggets F Linas Kleiza averaged career highs in scoring (11.1), rebounds (4.3), assists (1.2) and minutes played (23.9) during his third NBA season. His best -- and most notable -- game came on Jan. 17 against Utah, when he scored 41 points with nine rebounds in a win over the Jazz. He played 42 minutes in that game, starting in place of an injured Kenyon Martin. (Updated 05/13/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Kleiza started 13 games during the season, but 11 came at forward when Martin was injured. As a forward, he averaged 18.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists, which is a little inflated due to the 41-point game, but still indicates how productive he'd be given more steady playing time. Kleiza will be in a similar situation in 2008-09, which will make him a borderline starter/reserve in leagues of 10-plus Fantasy teams. He's worth taking a flier on in the later rounds in case an injury or some other circumstance creates big minutes for him. (Updated 05/13/2008).
