Priority Pickups: Last call on Chris Copeland

In reality, maybe it's not the greatest idea to offer unlimited shot attempts to Chris Copeland. This does not seem like a winning approach at the highest level of pro basketball.

But in fantasy, a deep-chucking Copeland is clearly an asset. Indiana's roster has been absolutely crushed by injuries so far — George, West, Stuckey, Hill and Watson, all shelved — which has cleared a path for Copeland's recent surge. He scored 19 points in 37 minutes against Washington on Wednesday (on 21 shots), the third straight game in which he's delivered 19 or more. For the season, Copeland is averaging 17.2 points and 6.2 boards per night, plus he's attempted at least seven threes in every game.

Copeland won't offer many defensive goodies, and he obviously has the potential to torpedo your fantasy roster's field goal percentage. (To this point, he hasn't shot better than 43.8 percent in any game.) But he looks like a good bet to pile up points and jack threes, while pulling down 6-8 boards per night. If you can carry a high-volume, low-percentage shooter in your active roster, give him a look. The Pacers have a 4-game week on deck, and Copeland remains available in over 50 percent of Yahoo leagues. He's also starting on Friday, if that excites you.

And if you miss on him ... well, you'll survive. People have been known to win fantasy leagues without Chris Copeland. Here are four additional options for those in need...

PG/SG Garrett Temple, Was (30 percent owned) – It's easy to appreciate Temple's backstory, the long, winding path he's taken to NBA playing time. He's been signed to eight different 10-day contracts with various teams, plus he's had stints in Italy and the D-League. These days, he's starting for the Wizards while Bradley Beal is recovering from injury (fractured wrist), and the 28-year-old is thriving. Temple has averaged 17.0 PPG in three November games, with 3.3 threes, 4.3 boards and 2.0 steals per night. The only real issue here — and it's no small thing in fantasy terms — is that Washington's schedule is a bit light through the end of the month. The team plays just two games next week, then gets a pair of three-game weeks. And then Beal could return. Kinda dims the buzz for Temple, but he's been excellent.

PF/C Ed Davis, LAL (31 percent owned) – The bad news is that Davis is averaging just 24.7 minutes per game, and he played a season-low 18 on Tuesday. The good news is that he's been tremendously efficient. In that 18-minute effort, Davis still managed to pull down nine rebounds, block three shots and collect two steals. He's topped double-digits in scoring in four of five games, too. Check the per-36 numbers: 16.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.2 blocks (also 7.3 fouls). With a four-game week upcoming, I'm interested.

SG/SF Anthony Morrow, OKC (3 percent owned) – Morrow returned to practice, so it's possible OKC won't need to recruit any home fans to suit up this weekend. He's recovering from an MCL sprain, getting back well ahead of his ETA. So that's a good sign. Oklahoma City has a severe lack of scoring and good health right now, so the team will take whatever Morrow is prepared to give. He's a phenomenal shooter from distance (42.8 career 3PT%), as everyone knows. With KD and Westbrook out of the mix, Morrow won't struggle to find shots. As a category specialist with scoring potential, he's in play.

SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Det (22 percent owned) – Oh, hey, look who finally made a few shots. KCP went 8-for-14 from the floor with four threes in Detroit's win over the Knicks on Wednesday, finishing with 20 points, two boards, and ... well, nothin' else. He's been a dreadful shooter to this point in the season (33.9 percent), but it won't be like that all year. (Maybe on Monday at Chicago, but not all year.) He offers points and threes and steals, with a four-game week ahead.
