Ed Davis is on this list based on the potential of him playing more minutes during the second half of the season. As the Los Angeles Lakers fall further down in the standings, you could start to see Davis get more playing time in place of veteran Carlos Boozer. Davis is currently averaging seven rebounds per game.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist got off to a slow start for the Charlotte Hornets and missed some games early, but he has been great this month. In his last 10 games, MKG is averaging 10.1 rpg; he has grabbed double digit rebounds in six of those 10 games. He is on the rise and won't be available in most leagues for long.

Steven Adams has had an up and down season for the Oklahoma City Thunder, but may see some increased playing time in the second half of the season. Veteran Kendrick Perkins may be traded at the deadline, as he has a big expiring contract. Adams is coming off his best rebounding game of the season, grabbing 20 boards against the Washington Wizards.

Tristan Thompson is a high energy player who has really steeped his game up in Cleveland over the last couple months. Thompson is averaging eight rebounds per game on the season, and that number has been rising throughout the season. You can expect consistent production from Thompson.

If Timofey Mozgov is still available in your league, go pick him up now. Seriously, stop reading this and go pick him up. For some reason, Mozgov is still available in a good amount of fantasy leagues, but that isn't likely to last. In the seven games he has played with Cleveland, Mozgov is averaging 9.3 rebounds per game.
