Casey

Jacobsen

Jacobsen isn’t starting, but D’Antoni plans to give him plenty of time on the court. In this new role, when Jacobsen comes in, it could be for anyone in the starting lineup.

Jacobsen, who is in line to make the minimum of $771,331, didn’t want to lock himself out of a possible better deal. “I wanted to get more (from the Nuggets),” said Jacobsen, who is currently talking with four or five other teams about playing this season.

Jacobsen told a Houston television station that he would take a physical on Tuesday and that the agreement is only partially guaranteed. He shouldn’t have fantasy value in most leagues.

He won’t have fantasy value after spending the last couple years in Europe, but shouldn’t have any problem working his way into the rotation.

He has scored in double figures in four of his last five games and is starting to look like he may have some value in the second half of the year.

The Heat want to re-sign Shandon Anderson and then sign another guard or forward who can ''dribble and shoot.’'

Great trade for New Orleans. The 23-year-old Jacobsen has proven to be a fine reserve. If the Hornets give him more minutes, his ability to knock down threes might give him a little fantasy value.

Maciej Lampe and Jackson Vroman were DNP-CDs.

He hit just 2-of-9 shots but played 32 minutes. He’s probably not worthy of a spot on your team yet, but he’s a good player to keep your eye on.

Jacobsen hasn’t played in the NBA since the 2007-08 season, so this news doesn’t send major ripples across the NBA landscape. The 33-year-old had most recently been playing in Germany with Brose Baskets Bamberg where he won five German Championships and five German Cups.
