V. Oladipo - SG

HOU

Victor Oladipo has decided to sit out of the resumed NBA season.

“As a competitor and teammate this is tearing me apart," Oladipo told The Athletic. "But I truly believe continuing on the course I’m on and getting fully healthy for the 2020-21 season is the right decision for me.” Oladipo had been unsure of his status for Orlando since last month, and his decision to opt out isn't a big surprise. Back in March, Oladipo said he still wasn't 100% from his knee surgery, and all this time off does add additional unknowns on his recovery. Oladipo also has one more year under contract with the Pacers, so focusing on 2020-21 makes sense. With him out, Aaron Holiday, T.J. McConnell and Justin Holiday figure to see some extra minutes.

O. Anunoby - SF

TOR

OG Anunoby is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Bucks with a left calf strain.

In two games with Pascal Siakam (knee) sidelined, Anunoby's scored 40 points on 13-of-24 shooting (six 3-pointers) with 13 rebounds, three assists, five steals, a block, and five turnovers. Now it's possible Toronto could be without both forwards. If Siakam and Anunoby are ruled out, Chris Boucher will have an opportunity for a big game, and Norman Powell could get the start.

G. Antetokounmpo - PF

MIL

Giannis Antetokounmpo's not playing as well as his last two MVP years as he figures out the Bucks' new offensive scheme.

The Bucks fell short in their last two playoff runs despite having the best player in the league, so coach Mike Budenholzer's shaking things up. The team's new offense places an emphasis on offensive rebounding and putting a big in "the dunker spot," which — for now — throws of Giannis's rhythm. “It’s weird, it’s weird, but as I said, I’m figuring it out,” he said. “I’d love to come out and have 30, 35 and it be easy. Easy layups and dunks and all that. But having somebody in ‘the dunker’ might make it a little bit harder." Though it might help his team in the long run, the back-to-back MVP ranks just No. 69 (6th round value) in 9-cat leagues a year after finishing No. 22.

D. Cousins - C

HOU

Rockets head coach Stephen Silas wants to make sure DeMarcus Cousins gets more minutes when Christian Wood returns.

"I think the fact that he’s had some success over these last three games will help him moving forward in making sure he has enough time on the floor to play well and making sure that we’re doing things so he can play to his strengths," Silas said. Cousins is playing some of his best basketball in recent memory, collecting consecutive double-doubles as a starter with Wood sidelined. When Wood returns, Cousins will move back to the bench, but Silas is cognizant that he needs to give Boogie more minutes for his team to be successful.

I. Thomas - PG

WAS

Isaiah Thomas has committed to play for Team USA in the AmeriCup qualifying tournament.

Most recently, Thomas had surgery on his hip in May during the NBA's pause, and he hasn't played in the league since February 3rd. Hip injuries have derailed the 31-year-old's All-Star-caliber career, but now Thomas will play in the AmeriCup tournament February 19-20th to prove he still has a place in the league. "I’m working every day, patiently waiting for a team to pull the trigger and give me opportunities," he said on Chris Haynes' podcast Posted Up. "So, I’m feeling really good. I’m happy where I’m at physically, I’m happy where I’m at mentally and you know, just just really playing the waiting game while watching basketball and doing the things I normally do."

F. Ntilikina - PG

NYK

Frank Ntilikina didn't play for the second game in a row despite being cleared.

Ntilikina finally returned from a knee injury, but it's clear Tom Thibodeau doesn't see him playing in the rotation for now. On Sunday, he said Ntilikina's playing time will be "situational," and he expanded on Tuesday saying, “I like his versatility a lot. We have some guys who are similar. Alec (Burks) is a 3-position guy. Austin (Rivers) is a 3-position guy. That was something that we were looking to do when we were putting together the roster,” according to The Athletic. The emergence of Immanuel Quickley is probably another big reason why he isn't playing. Maybe with Quickley coming off his worst game of the season, Ntilikina will get another chance, but for now, it seems he's not going to touch the floor in competitive games.

A. Horford - C

Al Horford is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Suns due to personal reasons.

Horford hasn't played since January 12th and isn't likely to return until OKC plays at home on Friday. Isaiah Roby will continue to start in his place, and Mike Muscala will have added opportunities off the bench. On Monday, Muscala made six 3-point shots for 23 points and Roby scored 16 points with two blocks.

D. Mitchell - SG

UTA

Donovan Mitchell shot 3-of-15 from the field in Tuesday's win over the Knicks, finishing with nine points, eight rebounds, three assists and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes.

While Utah extended its win streak to nine games, they did so in spite of Mitchell's struggles shooting the basketball. New York focused much of its defensive attention on the star guard, and he failed to get untracked. The Jazz host Dallas in the second game of a back-to-back on Wednesday, and his numbers have been a bit low in such scenarios this season. In two prior back ends, Mitchell is averaging 16.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.5 3-pointers per game while shooting 37.8% from the field.

R. O'Neale - SF

UTA

Royce O’Neale posted a line of 20 points (7-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one blocked shot and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes Tuesday vs. New York.

The Knicks took the approach of daring O’Neale to shoot, which is understandable given how difficult it is to defend Donovan Mitchell. The strategy failed, as O’Neale put forth his best offensive performance of his career. The 20 points scored matched his total in the prior three games combined. Rostered in 18% of Yahoo leagues, O’Neale ranks just outside of the top-100 in 9-cat formats for the season. His potential as a streamer outweighs his value in standard leagues.

UTA

Mike Conley shot 5-of-12 from the field and 6-of-6 from the foul line in Tuesday’s win over the Knicks, tallying 19 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

Conley gave Utah the spark that it needed to begin the third quarter, playing a part in 11 of the team’s first 13 points (eight scored, with an assist on a Bojan Bogdanovic 3-pointers). After struggling for much of last season the veteran point guard has looked far more comfortable, and Conley is currently a top-50 player in both 8- and 9-cat formats.

R. Gobert - C

UTA

Rudy Gobert posted a line of 18 points (8-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 19 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 32 minutes Tuesday vs. New York.

Gobert dominated in the middle Tuesday night, as Knicks centers Mitchell Robinson and Nerlens Noel combined for nine points, 11 rebounds, two assists, three steals and four blocked shots. Providing fifth-round value in 9-cat for the season as a whole, over the last two weeks the “Stifle Tower” has been a top-25 player in both 8- and 9-cat formats over the last week. Gobert will face a different challenge Wednesday night when the Jazz host the Mavericks, as Dallas’ big men are mobile than the tandem that he faced on Tuesday. But there should be no doubt that Gobert will be able to put up another high-quality line.

E. Gordon - SG

HOU

Eric Gordon was solid in 29 minutes off the bench on Tuesday, scoring 20 points with two rebounds, four assists and a steal in the win.

Gordon returned to his reserve role with Victor Oladipo back in the lineup but it didn't matter. He shot 6-of-13 with two 3-pointers and 6-of-7 from the line and is boasting 46/35/81 shooting splits through 16 games this year. Whether he's starting or coming off the bench, he's going to produce points and threes, and he's still available in 40% of Yahoo leagues.

V. Oladipo - SG

HOU

Victor Oladipo was back in the starting lineup on Tuesday but struggled, going 7-of-21 from the floor with 20 points, five rebounds and one assist.

Oladipo missed 14 shots vs the Wizards and went just 3-of-10 from deep. He also failed to record any defensive stats which isn't like him. More importantly, he's struggled to make shots in his last three games in which he's a combined 18-of-59 on field goals and 5-of-21 from deep. It might be time for him to stop sitting games in back-to-back scenarios in order to establish some rhythm and consistent play if the Rockets want to keep up in the West.
