S. Milton - SG

PHI

Milton underwent surgery to repair his broken finger Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks, Serena Winters of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

While Milton has appeared in 12 games for the 76ers this season, he suffered the injury while playing for the teams G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. Given that he's been back and forth between the two squads all season, his absence will not have any impact on the team's rotation after the All-Star break.

N/A

A. Roberson - SG

OKC

Coach Billy Donovan said Thursday that Roberson (kneecap) has yet to resume on-court activities, Brett Dawson of The Athletic reports.

It's fairly concerning that Roberson isn't even going through light drills after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in late May, but Donovan said he remains optimistic the wing will contribute at some point this season. Even if Donovan's prediction comes to pass, Roberson won't represent much of a fantasy asset. Over his 39 appearances in 2017-18, Roberson shot an excellent 53.7 percent from the field but averaged only 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game.

N/A

A. Davis - PF

NOP

The Pelicans sent Davis in for an MRI on his left shoulder following his early departure from Thursday's 131-122 win over the Thunder, Ramona Shelbourne of ESPN.com reports.

The results of the MRI didn't reveal anything overly concerning for Davis, who was diagnosed with a shoulder contusion. Per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Davis intends to play in Sunday's All-Star Game, but the big man's availability will hinge on how he responds to treatment leading up to the exhibition. If Davis ultimately gains clearance to play in the All-Star Game, he would presumably be ready to suit up for the Pelicans' first game out of the break Feb. 22 against the Pacers.

N/A

S. Gilgeous-Alexander - PG

LAC

Gilgeous-Alexander compiled 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds, and three steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 161-144 loss to Team USA in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Gilgeous-Alexander appeared right at home on the big stage Friday, ending the games with 15 points to go with three steals. He has been one of the more frustrating players to roster in fantasy this season with his playing time frustratingly inconsistent. Head coach Doc Rivers seems somewhat reluctant to give him big minutes and that has certainly impacted his overall value. Perhaps this will turn around as the season progresses, especially if the Clippers fall out of the playoff race. As of right now, he is a fringe standard league player but that could certainly change if his playing time creeps up to 30 minutes per night.

Added 1:23 am (EST)

N/A

L. Markkanen - PF

CHI

Markkanen tallied 21 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, and two assists in 22 minutes during Friday's 161-144 loss to Team USA in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Markkanen started for Team World and ended with 21 points, second only to Ben Simmons who finished with 28 points. After missing a large chunk of the season due to injury, Markkanen has come on strong for the Bulls and is the 22nd ranked player over the past month. If he ever manages to put up consistent numbers on the defensive end of the floor, his overall value would likely sit inside the top-20.

Added 1:18 am (EST)

N/A

L. Doncic - SG

DAL

Doncic came away with 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), nine assists, five rebounds, and two steals in 24 minutes during Friday's 161-144 loss to Team USA.

Doncic was somewhat quiet Friday but still managed to put up a solid enough line in Team World's loss to Team USA. He fell just one assist short of a double-double but did play a team-high 24 minutes. Doncic is the standout favorite for the rookie of the year and it would likely take a major injury to rob his of that award. Despite all the accolades, Doncic is just the 89th ranked player across the season, due primarily to his high turnover rate and poor shooting from both the field and the free-throw line. These are numbers that should improve with time and he could eventually find himself as a top-20 type player.

Added 1:14 am (EST)

N/A

B. Simmons - PG

PHI

Simmons totaled 28 points (14-17 FG, 0-1 FT), six assists, five rebounds, and three steals in 21 minutes during Friday's 161-144 loss to Team USA in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Simmons missed just three shots Friday, ending the game with 28 points in the losing effort. He would have been a serious contender for the MVP award, however, the fact he was on the losing side likely cruelled any chance he had. Simmons has by all accounts, had a mediocre season for the 76ers. Over the past two weeks since the acquisition of Tobias Harris, Simmons is the 255th ranked player in standard 9-category leagues. Obviously his overall value is dragged down by his poor free-throw percentage and high turnover rate, but nonetheless, it is a worrying trend for his owners.

Added 1:08 am (EST)

N/A

D. Mitchell - SG

UTA

Mitchell tallied 20 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds, five steals, and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's 161-144 victory over Team World in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Mitchell produced across the board despite the clear lack of defensive focus, helping Team USA to a 17 points victory Friday. Along with Trae Young, Mitchell was certainly in the discussion for the MVP award but ultimately fell short. Micthell and the Jazz have turned things around of late after a relatively slow start to the season. Mitchell is shooting the ball a little better but it still only the 94th ranked player over the past month. Owners will be hoping he can continue to improve as the Jazz push for a top-four spot in what is a loaded Western Conference.

Added 1:02 am (EST)

N/A

T. Young - PG

ATL

Young totaled 25 points (9-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds, and one block in 24 minutes during Friday's 161-144 victory over Team World in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Young certainly had a case to be named the MVP Friday, coming away with 25 points and 10 assists. He dominated the second half and was unlucky not to take home the best player honors. Young has continued to improve across the season, having been named rookie of the month on two separate occasions thus far. While Luka Doncic tends to grab all the headlines, Young had quietly been working on his game and looks as though he is going to be a nice piece for the Hawks as they look to rebuild over the coming years.

Added 12:57 am (EST)

N/A

J. Tatum - SF

BOS

Tatum ended with 30 points (12-24 FG, 6-14 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 26 minutes during Team USA's 161-144 victory over Team World.

Tatum was in scoring mode Friday, scoring 30 points in 26 minutes during Team USA's victory in the Rising Stars Challenge. Along with Kyle Kuzma, the pair attempted 51 field-goals, almost half of the entire teams total. Tatum continues to have a productive season for the Celtics, although is perhaps underachieving when compared to the numbers people may have been hoping for. That being said, he is one of the most consistent fantasy assets you will find and his numbers should continue along the same trajectory as the season progresses.

Added 12:52 am (EST)

N/A

K. Kuzma - SF

LAL

Kuzma finished with 35 points (15-27 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, and one block in 22 minutes during Friday's 161-144 victory in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Kuzma appeared intent on taking home the MVP award Friday, looking to score at every opportunity in the Team USA victory. There were multiple contenders for the award but ultimately it went to Kuzma who led all scorers on the night. Kuzma has been having a solid season for the Lakers, however, can be a one-dimensional player at times. The Lakers are going to pushing hard for a playoff spot and Kuzma should continue to be a primary focus on the offensive end moving forward.

Added 12:46 am (EST)

N/A

K. Bazemore - SG

ATL

Bazemore generated 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes Thursday in the Hawks' 106-91 loss to the Knicks.

The Hawks' starting unit struggled for much of the day, resulting in Bazemore and two others (Alex Len and DeAndre' Bembry) all logging 20-plus minutes off the bench. The elevated playing time helped Bazemore turn in his best scoring performance in his nine games since returning from an ankle injury. With Bazemore staying put at the trade deadline and a buyout likely not in the cards, it will be difficult for him to regularly receive playing time on Thursday's level, thereby putting a significant cap on his fantasy utility.

N/A

A. Davis - PF

NOP

After undergoing an MRI, Davis has been diagnosed with a muscle contusion in his left shoulder, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports.

This is relatively good news for the Pelicans, although Davis' status for Sunday's All-Star game is certainly up in the air at this point. He'll likely be held out if there's any concern whatsoever about aggravating the injury further in a meaningless contest. Expect an update on his availability for Sunday sometime over the weekend.
