Tarik Black (Houston PF)-  Black made the most of his playing time with Dwight Howard injured last week, and averaged 7.3 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in Houston's three contests. The 23-year-old recorded a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds in a 105-96 in over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Black has not done much besides scoring and rebounding, but his field goal percentage (59%) is high enough where he will contribute on a nightly basis.
