Fantasy Analysis

Kleiza is playing well of late, but he is an erratic scorer and should only be used as a reserve in deep leagues at this time. The safe option is keep him on the bench despite this recent stretch of good play.
(Updated 04/10/2009).

F Linas Kleiza is one Denver free agent whose future is up in the air. "L.K. is a guy that I think we're both in position of trying to figure out what will work," said Karl, realizing there's a chance Kleiza might not return to Denver. "I could see (Kleiza) being on the team next year. But I think (during the) free agency (period), everybody is going to be trying to figure it out." Kleiza made $1.82 million next season, and has been tendered Denver's one-year, $2.7 million qualifying offer. He could return for that, and become an unrestricted free agent next summer. If Kleiza gets an offer from another team, the Nuggets would have seven days to decide whether to match. If the offer is anywhere near the midlevel exception of $5.854 million, it's doubtful the Nuggets would match. 79//2009
