N. Noel - C

NYK

Nerlens Noel had one of his best games in a Knickerbockers jersey on Thursday, tallying six points, 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal, four swats and one turnover in 20 minutes off the bench.

The boards accounted for a season-high, and this was a nice bounce-back game for Noel following his scoreless performance on MLK Day. He got some added run tonight with Mitchell Robinson in foul trouble, but he has been heating up in the shot blocking department over the past four games with 3.5 swats a night, so he's on the radar as a potential shot-blocking specialist in deep leagues. Despite the foul trouble, Robinson still managed to finish with 18 points (8-of-11 FG, 2-of-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and zero turnovers in 27 minutes.

C. Zeller - C

CHA

Cody Zeller (hip) is not expected to play on Friday vs. the Warriors.

He's been officially downgraded from questionable to doubtful. With Zeller sitting, Bismack Biyombo could draw a start and would be a low-end source of rebounds, blocks and FG%, and P.J. Washington would likely see a bump in minutes at the five which will be good for his value.

Damian Jones has signed a 10-day contract with the Lakers.

Jones was recently waived by the Suns and will now provide some emergency depth for the Lakers until the All-Star break. There is no reason to grab him in almost any format.

T. Harris - PF

PHI

Tobias Harris' MRI came back clean and is confirmed to have a right knee contusion.

This is great news but it remains to be seen if Harris will miss additional time after leaving Thursday's game early. We'll mark him as day-to-day and questionable for Saturday vs. the Cavaliers. If Tobias does need to miss a game(s), Seth Curry would see a boost in value in addition to Shake Milton and Matisse Thybulle.

C. Wood - C

HOU

According to Kelly Iko of The Athletic, the Rockets intend to hold Christian Wood (ankle) out until the All-Star break.

Wood has made excellent progress and said himself that he'd like to return before the break, but the decision is not up to him and the Rockets want to err on the side of caution. The Rockets have four more games before the break, so Wood's fantasy managers should be expecting to have him back after four more DNPs.

L. Nance - PF

CLE

Larry Nance (finger) recently had his cast taken off and was spotted doing a shooting workout with Kevin Love.

Nance had successful surgery on his left fourth metacarpal back on Feb. 8th, and while he was given a 6-week timetable, this latest update is obviously a great sign. It's unclear if the Cavaliers will update his timetable but at the very least we should get some information during the All-Star break. Keep stashing him if you can.

F. Ntilikina - PG

NYK

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said Frank Ntilikina's defense was "fantastic" on Thursday night.

Ntilikina had seven points (3-of-6 FGs), two assists, three steals and one triple in 23 minutes in his first action since November. Thibodeau said he wanted to give Frank a chance with Elfrid Payton (hamstring) out, and we'd bet on him getting another opportunity if Payton misses more time. We'll keep a close eye on his minutes going forward but he's not on the standard-league radar just yet.

N. Claxton - PF

BKN

Nets coach Steve Nash was thrilled with what he saw from Nicolas Claxton on Thursday night.

“Nic’s energy was outstanding. Hasn’t played for about a year, so to play these last two games and for him to be as disruptive as he was — I think he had four steals and two blocks, [he] assists, he rebounds," Nash said. "He’s somebody we believe in and think he’s got a lot of upside, continue to grow and just take it step-by-step. But I was impressed and really happy that he had success out there.” Claxton had shoulder surgery in June 2020 and then battled right knee tendinopathy at the start of the season, but he's healthy now and is someone to watch in case he carves out a larger role.

P. Connaughton - SG

MIL

Pat Connaughton played 26 minutes and hit 3-of-4 shots and two 3-pointers for eight points, a rebound an assist in Thursday's win over the Pelicans.

Connaughton took an inadvertant shot to the face from Lonzo Ball and left the game bloodied, but it didn't look like he was in jeopardy of a concussion and should be good to go for his next game. Not that you'll want to use him in fantasy.
