After starting the month hot, scoring 21 or more points in four of his first five games, Jarrett Jack has cooled off, scoring a combined 36 points in his past three games. The Bobcats have one of the league's slowest paces, ranking 27th in possessions per game, and they do a good job of defending opponents' perimeter players, so Jack probably should be benched if you have other decent options. Wilson Chandler has been logging massive minutes lately -- more than 41 per game over his past four contests -- and has seen his assists rise moderately (3.5 per game) in that time span as Chris Duhon's role has been diminished, further enhancing his value. Despite a tough matchup against the Magic, it would be tough to sit the multi-category threat unless you're in a tough battle for field-goal percentage. Reading between the lines of Nicolas Batum's ankle injury -- he couldn't even put weight on it after hurting it and missed Thursday's game against the Cavaliers -- suggests he's a good bet to miss Saturday's game, which sets up Travis Outlaw to play heavy minutes. He played 47 minutes Thursday, and he should have a much better performance facing the Bucks instead of the Cavs. Joel Przybilla has been a beast recently, grabbing 11 or more rebounds in six of his past seven games and keeping Greg Oden from regaining the starting position. Przybilla should have no problem keeping it going against what might be the weakest defensive frontcourt in the league. Grant Hill is averaging 37 minutes his past six games and should see a bigger role in the offense now that Leandro Barbosa, who was averaging 18.2 points in March before injuring his knee Wednesday, is out for the next 1 to 3 weeks.
