Luke Walton has been hampered by a strained right hamstring recently, limiting his physical activity. Fact is, all he was able to do for several days was practice shooting. It paid off Thursday night. Walton had 18 points, five rebounds and four assists, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the short-handed Clippers 106-78 for their fifth victory in six games. Walton, who entered having made 23 of 75 3-pointers (30.7 percent), made four of five from beyond the arc and 7-for-12 overall. "We really shut it down completely," said Walton, who sat out the Lakers' previous two games. "I couldn't run around. All I could do was stationary shooting." (Updated 04/11/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Hopefully this is a good sign for Walton heading into the final stretch of the season. He remains a low-end Fantasy option for now, but he has the ability to be a solid reserve for all leagues next season. (Updated 04/11/2008).
