Newsbreakers
February 6, 2010
Charlie Villanueva is expected to play in tonight's game against the Nets, according to Dave Pemberton's (Oakland Press) twitter page.

Our View:Villanueva did not play Friday due to his sore back, and it is uncertain how many minutes he may be able to handle tonight - meaning he is not a recommended fantasy option.
February 6, 2010
Charlie Villanueva will likely miss his third game in Detroit's past four on Saturday as he continues to deal with back spasms, according to NBA.com.

Our View:Consider him day-to-day for the foreseeable future, and not worthy of starting until it is proven that he is 100 percent healthy.
February 5, 2010
Charlie Villanueva is not active for Friday's game against the Pacers due to lingering back spasms.

Our View:Consider Villanueva day-to-day for now, even though he was expected to go on Friday. The setback isn't likely a critical one, but his fantasy performance has been lackluster lately anyway. Sit him until he heats up.
February 4, 2010
Charlie Villanueva, who has been dealing with back spasms, is expected to play in Friday's game at Indiana, according to MLive.com.

Our View:Villanueva is capable of solid production, but is not a recommended fantasy option for tomorrow - namely as Jonas Jerebko is working as the No. 1 power forward.
February 1, 2010
Updating an earlier report, Charlie Villanueva is considered day-to-day while dealing with back spasms, according to the Oakland Press.

Our View:Villanueva is feeling a little bit better, but he is questionable for Tuesday's game at New Jersey.
February 1, 2010
Charlie Villanueva, who was a late scratch on Sunday night, said that his back had been bothering him for several days but got significantly worse on Sunday, according to MLive.com. "It doesn't feel good at all," Villanueva said. "I can't even straighten out my back right now."

Our View:Villanueva sounds pretty iffy for Tuesday, and given that the Pistons have just two more games this week after that, you should probably consider sitting him for now and waiting until next week to think about re-inserting him into your lineup.
January 31, 2010
According to MLive.com, Charlie Villanueva was a late scratch for Sundays game against the Magic because of back spasms.

Our View:The silver lining here is that the Pistons don't play again until Tuesday, so Charlie will have some time to rest his ailing back. Expect an update on his condition before then.
January 29, 2010
Charlie Villanueva banged in a team-high 15 points in tonight's 92-65 home loss to the Heat. He also tallied four rebounds, two steals and one block.

Our View:Villanueva had a quality outing for fantasy owners, as he was averaging 14.1 points heading into the contest.
January 25, 2010
Charlie Villanueva has been accused of battery and assault stemming from an incident that occurred in Milwaukee in 2008, according to the Courthouse News.

Our View:The plaintiff filed a similar complaint in April of 2009 that was dismissed, so for now the accusation doesn't seem to hold much weight. Fantasy owners need not worry about Villanueva's immediate future.
January 20, 2010
Charlie Villanueva came off the bench on Wednesday and chipped in with 19 points, three rebounds, an assist and two blocks in a 92-86 win over the Celtics.

Our View:Villanueva shot 7-for-14 from the field and made good on three of his eight attempts from three-point land. He can be a factor from downtown, but has struggled with his consistency this season. Three times this month he has shot over 50 percent, but he's shot under 20 percent four times.
January 12, 2010
Charlie Villanueva stood out for the Pistons on Tuesday with 23 points and nine rebounds in a 99-90 win over the Wizards.

Our View:Villanueva came off the bench and drained five threes in six attempts and shot 9-of-13 overall in the game. The effort from downtown was his best of the season and helped fantasy owners forget the 1-of-10, four-point performance he turned out yesterday.
January 5, 2010
Charlie Villanueva had a nice performance against Dallas on Tuesday, scoring 17 points with nine rebounds, four three-pointers, one steal and one block.

Our View:Villanueva had been severely disappointing over his previous six games, so you have to hope tonight's performance will put a spark into his game.
