L. Ball - PG

NOP

Lonzo Ball (sprained right ankle) went to the locker room in the second quarter of Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

We'll let you know if he plays in the second half. Given that he's been the subject of trade rumors lately the Pelicans may hold him out, even if the injury's not serious.

N/A

A. Drummond - C

CLE

Andre Drummond posted a 23-point, 16-rebound double-double in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.

Drummond remains undefeated against his former team, and he was all over the place today, also chipping in two assists, five steals, two blocks and four turnovers while going 9-of-24 from the floor and 5-of-8 from the charity stripe. He's averaging a career-high 18.9 points per game this season to go with his career-high 30.5 usage rate, and if you ignore the free throw shooting he's flirting with top-25 value on the year.

J. Allen - PF

CLE

Jarrett Allen saw 20 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Pistons, finishing with 10 points (5-of-7 FG), one rebound, one steal, two blocks and one turnover.

Allen was a part of the closing group in three of his first four games in Cleveland, and he also closed the last game alongside Andre Drummond, but that was not the case today as he hit the bench with 7:30 left in the fourth quarter and he did not return. He still got his blocks, but the rest of his stat line was fairly disappointing. He’s going to be a bit more inconsistent with the reserve role in Cleveland, but he’s still worth hanging onto in most formats.

A. Gordon - PF

ORL

Aaron Gordon hit just 1-of-9 shots (a 3-pointer) for a season-low three points, five rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes of Wednesday's ugly 121-107 loss to the Kings.

Ouch. Gordon was also in some foul trouble and not only had one of his worst games of the season, but his entire career. He flirted with a triple-double on Monday, but has been in a shooting funk for a big chunk of January and hasn't hit the 20-point plateau in any of his last seven games. Hopefully he gets back on track on Friday against the Raptors.

B. Hield - SG

SAC

Buddy Hield hit 10-of-17 shots and seven 3-pointers for a season-high 29 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals, a block and just one turnover in Wednesday's easy win over the Magic.

Hield was feeling it tonight and easily had his best game of the season after failing to crack 20 points in any of his previous four games. Things aren't going to be easy against the Raptors on Friday but hopefully this was the game Hield needed to finally get his season fully kick started.

I. Okoro - SG

CLE

Isaac Okoro contributed 10 points (3-of-5 FG, 3-of-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one 3-pointer, two steals and one turnover across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.

Okoro has been fairly consistent with the steals this season, averaging 1.4 a night, but he’s not doing much outside that, connecting on just 40.6% of his FGA and 67.7% of his freebies to go with 8.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 turnovers per contest. The dimes tonight accounted for a season-high and he snapped a four-game single-digit scoring skid, but he's been too inconsistent this season to trust in standard leagues.

N/A

C. Sexton - SG

CLE

Collin Sexton netted a game-high 29 points in Wednesday's 122-107 win over the Pistons on Wednesday, adding five rebounds, five assists, one 3-pointer, two steals and five turnovers in 35 minutes.

Sexton had been struggling with his shot a bit in his previous two outings, connecting on just 36% of his shot attempts, but he was hot from the jump today with just one miss through the first half of action and he finished the game on 10-of-14 shooting from the field and 8-of-10 from the line. Sexton is hitting career-highs across the board in his third NBA season with averages of 25.2 points, 4.2 assists, 1.9 triples, 1.2 steals and 2.6 turnovers per game on 51.7% shooting from the field and 81.1% from the stripe, which has him flirting with top 40 value on the year.

D. Fox - PG

SAC

De'Aaron Fox hit just 4-of-17 shots, one 3-pointer and 7-of-8 free throws and just missed a triple-double with 16 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists, a block and just two turnovers in Wednesday's 121-107 win over the Magic.

While the other four Kings' starters couldn't miss tonight (33-of-53 for 62%), Fox couldn't shoot his way out of a barn. But he did everything else really well, salvaged his scoring night at the free throw line and did a nice job of protecting the rock. Fox has struggled with his shot for much of the season, as well as his last two games when he hit just 11-of-37 shots, but was shooting it well over his four prior games. The 7-of-10 Kings have now won two straight games and will try to keep it going Raptors on Friday.

D. Garland - PG

CLE

Darius Garland hit 6-of-11 shots Wednesday for 14 points, two rebounds, four assists, two 3-pointers, two steals and three turnovers through 31 minutes as a starter in a win over the Pistons.

Garland had been struggling with the reserves in his previous three outings as the Cavs eased him back into things following the shoulder injury, but he got things back on track today and looked much more comfortable with the first unit. He had failed to snatch away a single steal while he was running with the reserves, but he snapped the steal-less streak midway through the first quarter of today’s game. Now that the restrictions have been lifted and he’s back with the starters, he could return to flirting with early-round value.

N/A

H. Whiteside - C

SAC

Hassan Whiteside played through his hip injury on Wednesday and finished with nine points and six rebounds in 16 minutes.

You couldn't really tell he was on a minutes limit tonight as he played six more minutes than he had in his previous two games and this was his third-highest minute total this season. But as long as Richaun Holmes is playing so well, Whiteside's going to have a tough time getting more than 15-20 minutes a night, making him very tough to roster in fantasy.

N/A

D. Wright - PG

DET

Delon Wright scored 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting (4-of-6 FT) Wednesday, to go with seven assists, four rebounds, one 3-pointer, three steals, one block and two turnovers across 30 minutes in a loss to the Cavs.

Wright got off to an atrocious start this season, but he’s been in a nice groove over the past four games with averages of 16.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.0 triples, 2.0 steals, 0.8 swats and 2.3 turnovers per contest on 52.4% shooting from the field and 78.9% from the line. It was good to see him stay relatively aggressive on offense with Derrick Rose (knee) back in the lineup, and with what he’s been doing defensively as of late, he should be rostered in most leagues.

R. Holmes - C

SAC

Richaun Holmes hit 8-of-11 shots and 4-of-6 free throws on his way to 20 points, 12 rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes of Wednesday's 121-107 win over the Magic.

This was a very efficient line for Holmes who has really rounded back into form this season. As long as he keeps playing like this, Hassan Whiteside is going to have trouble finding more than 15 minutes a night, as has been the case thus far. Whiteside played 16 minutes for nine points and six rebounds, but he's been a really tough player to stash in fantasy with so few opportunities this season.
