Sean Kilpatrick is playing very well right now and should be a target for your fantasy basketball team.

Sean Kilpatrick has been playing very well lately and looks like he could be a great addition for your fantasy basketball team right now. In most leagues they are wrapping up and in the final week of the championship run or they have one more week. If you are still in the running or if you are a FanDuel player using a guy like Sean Kilpatrick could be a great idea for your teams.

He has scored in double figures eleven of his last twelve games has been doing so in only around 23 minutes per game. That is pretty efficient and there is a good chance that type of play should earn him some more minutes for the Nets. The departure of Joe Johnson has opened the door for him and since being acquired in a trade with the Nuggets Kilpatrick has been a very solid player for the Nets.

His ownership on ESPN.com leagues is going up so you will need to act quickly if your team needs some help. If you are in a categories league the young man will provide a nice boost in points and threes. He is not doing too much else, but that could come with extra minutes. He is averaging 15.7 points per game over the last 15 days and should be on the radar in leagues of 12 teams or more.

I am not sure how I feel about him for dynasty and deep keeper leagues, but he could be a nice bargain to scoop up in a dynasty league. I can’t think of any keeper leagues that I would want him in, but in a 16 team dynasty league that keeps eleven I would be willing to add him in a minute. I am not sure if he will hold value with the Nets again next season, but it might be worth figuring out. He reminds me a lot of Jamal Crawford in his ability to come in off the bench and light up the scoreboard.

Kilpatrick is certainly a good addition for your fantasy team for the playoff run, but at the end of the day I am not completely sure if he will be a guy in the rotation for the Nets net season. You will need to proceed with caution in that area, but you will certainly want him for the rest of this season if you are still in the hunt.
