"The Bobcats were already one of the worst teams in the league. Then they lost Corey Maggette (hamstring) and D.J. Augustin (toe) to injury. On Thursday, things got even worse when they announced Gerald Henderson would be out 2-4 weeks with a hamstring pull of his own.

Early signs point toward this being a long-term injury. The 3-20 Bobcats certainly won't rush him, the All-Star break looms in three weeks and serious hamstring strains are always tricky. Don't be surprised if Henderson misses the full month. Considering Henderson was averaging just 0.3 3-pointers, 0.9 steals, 0.4 blocks and 1.8 assists, most owners will be forced to move on.

So what we have left is a team blatantly devoid of talent and scorers. That's also known as an opportunity for fantasy owners.

When Henderson missed two games in January with a back injury, Matt Carroll started at shooting guard. Carroll averaged 15.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 0.5 3-pointers in those spot-starts. That likely earned him the starting gig going forward, at least until Augustin gets healthy or Reggie Williams gets up to speed.

Remember that Williams is the guy that has averaged 1.3 3-pointers made per game in his career on 40.1 percent shooting from beyond the arc. He's also the guy that coach Paul Silas said will eventually be "unbelievable" for the Bobcats. Both Carroll and Williams need to be on the deep-league radar, with Carroll serving as the short-term add."
