He will likely try and give it a go as the Clippers are facing elimination in Game 6, but he's probably day-to-day for now.","date":"Wed May 1"},"fullName":"Blake Griffin","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After taking the NBA by storm in his rookie season, last year Griffin continued to dominate offensively alongside Chris Paul, posting 20.7 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor. Those expecting him to put his athleticism to good use on the defensive end, however, were disappointed with his somewhat underwhelming stats (0.8 steals per game and 0.7 blocks per game). That, along with his detrimental free throw shooting (52.1 percent on 7.1 attempts per game), caused Blake to drop all the way to 62nd on our Player Rater despite his aforementioned brilliance on offense. Griffin is reportedly healthy after undergoing offseason knee surgery, but fantasy owners would be wise to check his status in the preseason to ensure that he is 100 percent. He is still a dynamic fantasy player because of his strengths, but those who select him should have a specific strategy to compensate for his weaknesses.
