    With injuries, lineup changes and other roster moves affecting playing time, it is important to keep your fantasy lineup up-to-date. [b]Fake Avalanche Jerseys[/b] . Here are some under-the-radar players to take a look at to fill in the final spots on your team, as well as some who no longer warrant ownership. Take a look at… Kelly Olynyk (PF/C - Bos) – 28.7% owned: Olynyk has been the definition of peaks and valleys for his owners this season. He has struggled with consistency and playing time since being benched earlier in the season but he still remains valuable to owners as a big man who can knock down threes. With Jeff Green now gone, there aren’t many offensive options remaining on the Celtics aside from Olynyk. He may still come off the bench for now, but Olynyk will play a more important role for Boston going forward. Jusuf Nurkic (C - Den) – 22.7% owned: Now the starter in Denver after Timofey Mozgov was shipped to Cleveland, Nurkic’s upside should benefit his owners. While the sample size of two games is small, Nurkic looks to be an important part of a re-building Nuggets team that could see more veteran pieces moved out around the trade deadline. He is able to provide multiple blocks on a nightly basis, averaging 3.4 in his last five games, while remaining a double-double threat. His foul troubles are a problem, as he has picked up five-plus fouls in less than 22 minutes in five games this year. J.J. Hickson has been lurking off the bench, but Nurkic is the better option for now. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (SF - Cha) – 24.6% owned: Both Kidd-Gilchrist and Gerald Henderson have benefitted from the injuries of Lance Stephenson and Al Jefferson. While Kidd-Gilchrist shouldn’t be relied upon as a source of offence, he has scored in double digits in seven of his last eight games with a very good percentage. He won’t provide owners with much else aside from his rebounding ability, but those looking for boards from unlikely sources should snatch up the former second-overall pick. Hassan Whiteside (C - Mia) – 17.7% owned: He has been a revelation for the Heat as a big man off the bench and owners should enjoy riding Whiteside while he’s hot. Over his last five contests, Whiteside is averaging 12.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.2 blocks while shooting a ridiculous .725%. For a thin Miami frontcourt, Whiteside could continue to put up decent numbers. Until he comes back down to earth, he could be worth a look.< Maybe say goodbye to… Tristan Thompson (PF/C - Cle) – 42.8% owned: Thompson was a nice pickup for owners following the season-ending injury to Anderson Varejao but can now be dropped following the trade for Timofey Mozgov, who supplanted Thompson in the starting lineup in only his second game with the team. With the pending return of LeBron James and the stronger play of Kevin Love, don’t be surprised to see Thompson’s minutes decrease even further. He’s no longer worth owning. Jose Calderon (PG - NYK) – 24.9% owned: There aren’t many starting point guards available in Fantasy but Calderon should only be owned as a last resort. Once a reliable contributor for assists and field goal percentage, Calderon has struggled in both categories on an awful Knicks team. Despite the absence of many big names due to the injury bug, Calderon has not picked up the slack offensively. If it means anything to owners, he can still hit threes and has yet to miss a free-throw this season, but other than that it is tough to be attached to him. Harrison Barnes (SF – GSW) – 30.8% owned: By not being a focal point of the Warriors’ offence, Barnes has found himself with the inability to string together any amount of consistency. He has scored anywhere from two to 23 points over his last ten games, and his single digit outputs aren’t going to cut it for owners. He does provide decent rebounding for his position to go along with three-pointers and shooting percentage but owners can’t rely on him. Lance Stephenson (SG/SF - Cha) – 49.8% owned: The status of his pelvic injury seems to be improving but he remains day-to-day without a real timetable to return. His tantalizing ability to provide a balanced box score had been beneficial to owners but Stephenson hurt them with his poor field goal percentage. With the Hornets rolling, it remains to be seen what his role will be once he returns to the team. Those needing to free up a roster spot could drop Stephenson until more definitive updates on his return are available. [b]Wholesale Avalanche Jerseys[/b] . -- Arkansas didnt need a spectacular dunk to beat No. [b]Avalanche Jerseys 2020[/b] . - The Florida Panthers are getting some Army training to finish off their preparations for the season.LONDON -- Manchester United has brought the "Class of 92" back together. Renowned graduates of Uniteds most successful youth team have been put in control of a team in turmoil following the abrupt dismissal of David Moyes. A notable absentee is David Beckham, who has never expressed a desire for team management. If theres anyone who can unite what appears to be a disenchanted squad it is Ryan Giggs, assisted by retired former teammates Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Phil Neville. "It will certainly be a different atmosphere in training and at Old Trafford and the fans will buy into it," Eric Harrison, the youth team coach who developed the "Class of 92," said Wednesday. "As soon as Ryan walks out the tunnel, the place will erupt." Even though Giggs is the oldest of the quartet at 40, the clubs most decorated player is the only one to feature in teams of both Ferguson and Moyes, who was fired after just 10 months on Tuesday. "I think for togetherness and getting the results and playing a certain way, a brand of football that is more eye-catching, the Man United way, I feel that Ryan Giggs is the right person," former United teammate Dwight Yorke said. With United searching for a more experienced successor for Moyes, Giggs has just four games to prove that the same football nous that enabled him to outwit opponents on the pitch for so many years also extends to the dugout. "Youve got to be natural as much as you can as a manager, find your own style, not try and be somebody else," Giggs told The Guardian newspaper during a recent Football Association coaching course. While cutting his teeth in the youth team, the Welsh winger was seen as setting the highest standards by the teammates now on his coaching staff. "Ryan Giggs was probably the one I looked up to the most," Neville told the BBC as a "Class of 92" documentary was released last year. While Giggs is yet to comment since being appointed interim coach, Harrison said the Welshman was delighted with the chance to manage alongside his "musketeers." "I used to call him a football nut because he took everything on board," Harrison told Talk Sport radio. Giggs, Scholes, Butt and Neville made 2,453 appearances in total for United and were iinstrumental in the exceptional success under Alex Ferguson, who retired last year after 26 trophy-filled years in charge. [b]Stitched Avalanche Jerseys[/b]. Scholes, whose retirement coincided with Fergusons, has returned to United to help out Giggs, while Butt had been coaching with Uniteds under-19 and under-21 teams, and Neville was already part of Moyes staff. Even if they dont stay on at United when an experienced successor is hired as Moyes full-time replacement in the summer, the quartet already have another football club to occupy themselves with. Along with another former teammate, Nevilles brother Gary, they are buying Salford City, a non-league club in the Manchester area. Gary Neville and Giggs have also gone into business together, opening the "Cafe Football" next to Londons Olympic Park and "Hotel Football" is under construction opposite Old Trafford. The next game at Uniteds ground is against Norwich on Saturday as the 20-time English champions look to complete their pitiful season with just pride intact. Not only did they fail to defend the Premier League trophy, but the team is unable to finish in the top four Champions League places, currently sitting in seventh place. Failure to qualify for Europes top club competition ultimately cost Moyes his job. The ousted manager broke his silence on Wednesday to accept that results "have not been what Manchester United and its fans are used to or expect." "I both understand and share their frustration," he said in a statement released by the League Managers Association. Moyes was troubled that he first learned about his impending firing in the media rather than directly from the American-owned clubs hierarchy. "Throughout his time at United, David, as he always does, has conducted himself with integrity and professionalism, values that he believes in and that have been strongly associated with the club and its rich tradition," LMA chief executive Richard Bevan said. "It is therefore sad to see the end of Davids tenure at United being handled in an unprofessional manner." Louis van Gaal, who is leaving his position as Netherlands coach after the World Cup in Brazil and has previously coached Barcelona and Bayern Munich, is the favourite to succeed Moyes on a full-time basis.
