Sun Dec 29 2013 | 22:20 | Jeremy Lamb scores career-high 22 points |
Jeremy Lamb came off the bench for a career-high 22 points in Sunday's easy win vs. the Rockets, making 8-of-10 FGs including three 3-pointers. |
Tonight's lopsided score afforded Lamb some extra playing time (26 minutes), but he should continue to play a bigger role with Russell Westbrook (knee) out until the All-Star break. He added five rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block tonight, a well-rounded game which seems like a fluke, but owners in search of points and 3s should give him a long look. |

Fri Dec 27 2013 | 21:39 | Lamb scores 10 points in 24 minutes on Friday |
Jeremy Lamb scored 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes on Monday. |
Lamb is in a strict timeshare with Thabo Sefolosha (12 points, three rebounds, two assists, 24 minutes) as the two players exclusively shared the shooting guard minutes tonight. Lamb is already a 12-14 team value in 9- and 8-cat leagues, respectively, and with that type of foundation owners would have to be stacked not to want a piece of his expected improvement with Russell Westbrook out. |

Fri Dec 27 2013 | 15:51 | Jeremy Lamb will move to sixth-man role |
Jeremy Lamb will likely be featured more as a sixth man for the Thunder while Russell Westbrook is out. |
Russell Westbrook was playing 33 minutes per game this season, so they're obviously not all going to Reggie Jackson. Lamb should see at least eight minutes more from his 20.8 per game on the season. He's been on a bit of a roll over his last nine, averaging 10.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.6 triples on 50 percent from the field and 100 percent from the line, so he was already putting up value worth owning in standards. He's worth a look in all formats. |

Sun Dec 15 2013 | 21:58 | Jeremy Lamb solid w/ 16 points on 7-of-10 FGs |
Oklahoma City won their sixth straight game on Sunday with a big lift from Jeremy Lamb, who came off the bench to score 16 points with a pair of 3-pointers. |
He made 7-of-10 shots overall, while adding three rebounds, three assists and one steal. He's cracked double-digits in four straight games while consistently knocking down shots from the perimeter, but that's about the extent of his fantasy contributions. |

Wed Dec 11 2013 | 23:54 | Jeremy Lamb scores career-high 18 in win |
Jeremy Lamb came off the bench and hit 7-of-9 shots and three 3-pointers on his way to a career-high 18 points, two rebounds and one assist in Wednesday's win. |
Lamb not only benefitted from the absence of Thabo Sefolosha for the second straight night, but tonight's game was also a blowout, allowing Scott Brooks to rest guys like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, which meant more run for Lamb, who also got a career-high 28 minutes. He's heating up and has scored in double figures in four of his last six games, but is still a guy who should probably be on your radar screen instead of your fantasy team right now. |

Wed Dec 4 2013 | 00:38 | Jeremy Lamb scores 14 in tough win |
Jeremy Lamb came off the bench for 14 points, two rebounds, one assist and two 3-pointers on 5-of-8 shooting Tuesday. |
Lamb is starting to come on off the Thunder bench, averaging 11.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 3-pointers over his last five games while shooting 58 percent from the field. He's not a must-own player, but owners in deep leagues need to take notice of what Lamb has been doing lately. |

Sun Nov 24 2013 | 21:30 | Jeremy Lamb scores 15 points in lopsided win |
Jeremy Lamb picked up extra minutes in garbage time on Sunday, finishing an easy win vs. Utah with 15 points on 7-of-13 shooting, two rebounds and one steal. |
This is the fifth time Lamb has scored double-digit points this season, but with OKC at full strength his fantasy value is restricted to a handful of 3-pointers. He's averaging 1.3 triples in under 19 minutes per game. |

Thu Nov 7 2013 | 02:31 | Jeremy Lamb drops 13 points, hits three 3s |
Jeremy Lamb got some extra run on Wednesday with 20 minutes during a 107-93 victory over the Mavericks, scoring 13 points with three boards, three assists, one block and three 3-pointers. |
Reggie Jackson went down after his 12 minutes on the court with a left hip contusion, so there were about 18 minutes up for grabs among the OKC wing guys. It's been a bumpy road for Lamb, but he's actually been able to string together three solid games, scoring an average of 12.3 points while hitting 1.7 triples. He's worth a speculative add for short-term help. |

Sat Nov 2 2013 | 02:21 | Lamb scores 16 points, mostly in garbage time |
Jeremy Lamb scored a career-high 16 points in mostly garbage time on Friday, hitting 7-of-15 shots from the field (including two triples) with four rebounds, two assists and a block in 21 minutes. |
We wouldn't read too much into this line because the Thunder were awful on Friday and Lamb still has some pretty glaring issues on defense. Just keep one eye on him for now. |

Thu Oct 31 2013 | 01:23 | Jeremy Lamb start slow in opener |
Jeremy Lamb played just 17 minutes off the bench on Wednesday and had four points, three boards and one steal on 2-of-6 shooting. |
He had more downs than ups in the preseason, so his game needs a little more seasoning. Lamb looks lost on the floor some of the time and he's not shaping up to be a guy worth counting on in most leagues. |

Fri Oct 25 2013 | 19:18 | Thunder pick up option on Jeremy Lamb |
The Thunder picked up their team option for Jeremy Lamb on Friday. |
He's been on a roller coaster ride for his brief career. Lamb was an offensive force at Orlando Summer League in July, but he's been a little underwhelming this preseason. Although, he was terrific on Wednesday against the Bulls with 22 points. He'll get a chance to show what he can do in the rotation and is worth a pick late in deeper formats. |

Thu Oct 24 2013 | 01:20 | Jeremy Lamb finally gets it going on Wed. |
Jeremy Lamb stepped up on Wednesday night with 22 points, three boards, three assists, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer on 9-of-16 shooting in 38 minutes. |
It was a much-needed game from Lamb, who made just 29.6 percent from the field in his previous five preseason games. He's also been weak on the defensive side with some silly fouls in the process. Bad preseason aside, Lamb has a chance to get minutes and the team demoting him in the rotation earlier this month may have woken him up. He's on the radar as a risky late-round pick. |

Wed Oct 23 2013 | 00:50 | Jeremy Lamb plays 40 minutes in loss |
Jeremy Lamb started at small forward in place of a resting Kevin Durant Tuesday and hit 4-of-11 shots for 13 points, nine rebounds, three assists and a steal in 40 minutes. |
Thabo Sefolosha left early with leg cramps and Durant took the night off, so the Thunder took a long look at Lamb. He's going to split time with Sefolosha and the Thunder are hopeful he'll provide some offense off the bench. Lamb is a borderline player to own in 12-team leagues, but has a ton of upside, making him possibly worth a late-round flier. |

Thu Oct 17 2013 | 23:39 | Jeremy Lamb has solid line, still struggling |
Jeremy Lamb had a solid line against the Pelicans on Thursday with 12 points, one board, three assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes. |
He's been able to create on his own, which is a Scott Brooks special, but has lacked a lot of other facets of his game. The Thunder are going to need Lamb to make some strides on defense while Russell Westbrook is out, but his value is likely to take a hit in a month unless he figures it out. |

Tue Oct 15 2013 | 23:38 | Jeremy Lamb struggles with shot in win |
Jeremy Lamb came off the bench to hit just 3-of-12 shots in 20 minutes Tuesday, finishing with six points, five rebounds, two assists and three steals. |
The potential is there and he could have a big role with the Thunder this season with Kevin Martin now in Minnesota, and Russell Westbrook in street clothes. Despite his quiet preseason thus far, he still should make for an interesting last-round flier in most leagues this season. |

Sat Oct 5 2013 | 16:09 | Jeremy Lamb gets 31 minutes in opener |
Jeremy Lamb played 31 minutes in Saturday's preseason opener, shooting 4-of-9 from the field for nine points with five boards, four assists, two steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers. |
The Thunder are going to need a lot out of their second-year guard with Russell Westbrook expected to miss 4-6 weeks of the season. They also let him loose in summer league and he didn't disappoint, ranking third in points per game among all Orlando participants. Lamb has nice range and is worthy of a late pick in standard drafts. |

Fri Oct 4 2013 | 11:29 | Durant: Jeremy Lamb is ready |
Kevin Durant said he knows Jeremy Lamb is ready for the upcoming season. |
"[Lamb's play] is going to be a little bit more magnified now that [Russell Westbrook] is out," Durant said. "But he's ready. I know he's ready." Reggie Jackson gets all the headlines for taking the starting point guard spot, but since Lamb no longer has to compete with Jackson for the sixth-man minutes, he could also be in for a big month. He's someone we're targeting late in drafts. |

Fri Sep 27 2013 | 14:13 | Durant: 'Jeremy Lamb looking great' |
Kevin Durant said on Friday that swingman Jeremy Lamb "has been looking great" in scrimmages. |
"You can really tell he's been working," Durant added. With Kevin Martin in Minnesota, the Thunder are hoping Lamb is ready to take the next step in his NBA career. It sounds like he's heading in the right direction, and he currently looks like an interesting deep sleeper candidate. |

Fri Jul 12 2013 | 14:01 | Jeremy Lamb leads OKC to Orlando title |
Jeremy Lamb led the Thunder in their first Orlando Summer League championship on Friday, scoring 18 points with three rebounds, four assists, one steal and two turnovers in 32 minutes. |
Instead of getting champagne baths, championship rings and confetti, the champions received a black hat sponsored by Southwest Airlines. Kidding aside, Lamb was phenomenal this week and he's shown some play-making ability against the summer-league competition. He'll need to work on his defense in the offseason and could potentially get a nice chunk of minutes off the bench. A picture of the championship hat is provided below. |

Wed Jul 10 2013 | 17:05 | Jeremy Lamb goes off for 32 points vs. 76ers |
Jeremy Lamb had 32 points on 10-of-14 shooting in Wednesday's summer league game against the 76ers. |
Lamb finished three points shy of the single-game summer-league record set by teammate Reggie Jackson on Tuesday. He also had four rebounds, three 3-pointers, one assist and one steal. However, Lamb also turned the ball over eight times. Lamb and rookie Steven Adams were the only two Thunder in double figures Wednesday. |
