In five games this month, Jackson has averaged 14.6 points, 3.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.2 3s, 51.8 FG% and 100.0 FT%. That doesn't mean Jackson doesn't have fantasy skills, though. Reggie Jackson, Oklahoma City Thunder (26.0 percent): OK, so things didn't break right for Jackson because Russell Westbrook returned from his knee surgeries ahead of schedule. There may be long-term value here, too, if the Bulls end up dealing Deng away. Taj Gibson, Chicago Bulls (67.7 percent): His production has benefited from the absence of Luol Deng, but Gibson's been flat-out dominant, so ride him while he's hot. It may take a few weeks for him to get his legs under him after finally returning from his nagging hip ailment, but he is worth adding in most formats for his potential.

Odds are that any team that acquires Asik - the Philadelphia 76ers are among the teams rumored to be interested - will start him and give him plenty of minutes. As Stein noted, these dates aren't random there is every likelihood that they will trade Asik. However, according to ESPN NBA Insider Marc Stein, the club is aiming to trade the big man between Dec.
