J. Redick - SG

NOP

J.J. Redick came off the bench for 11 points (3-of-6 FG, 3-of-3 FT), two 3-pointers, three assists, one steal and two turnovers across 19 minutes in Thursday's loss to Utah.

This was a nice bounce-back performance from J.J. after he was held to just six points in Tuesday's blowout loss, and if you ignore that one bad game, he's been decent over the past six with multiple triples and double-digit scoring. His upside is fairly low because he rarely brings anything to the box score outside of points and triples, but if you're in a deep league and have a need in those categories, Redick could be someone to consider grabbing.

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.

Added 12:29 am (EST)

N/A

D. DiVincenzo - SG

MIL

Donte DiVincenzo did it all on Thursday, hitting 9-of-16 shots and four 3-pointers for a season-high 24 points, but also added seven rebounds, tied his season high with nine dimes, and added two steals and a block.

Not only was he all over the court and making good things happen tonight, he also drew a late charge against Brandon Ingram that essentially sealed the win for the Bucks. Don't expect this kind of production from DiVincenzo every night, but he's getting enough minutes and filling stat sheets enough to be used in any fantasy league right now. He might have seen a boost with D.J. Augustin out tonight, but DiVincenzo has scored in double figures in 10 of his 14 February games and is also a nice source of rebounds, assists and 3-pointers. Make sure he's not sitting on your waiver wire.

Added 12:24 am (EST)

N/A

B. Portis - C

MIL

Bobby Portis started Thursday for D.J. Augustin (personal) and hit 5-of-9 shots and two 3-pointers for 12 points, eight rebounds and two blocks.

Portis is a borderline player to roster even when coming off the bench and he's almost a must-start player any time he's starting for the Bucks. We doubt he'll stick in the starting lineup when DJA comes back, but if he does he's a player who should be rostered everywhere.

Added 12:22 am (EST)

N/A

G. Antetokounmpo - PF

MIL

Giannis Antetokounmpo hit 14-of-27 shots, two 3-pointers and 8-of-10 free throws for 38 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and a block in Thursday's entertaining 129-125 win over the Pelicans.

This was Giannis' 14th game of the season with at least 30 points and he's now scored at least 35 points in three straight games, the first time he's ever done so. He was grimacing and holding his right lower back/hip area and put a heating pad on it when he was on the bench. We're not going to call it an injury, but it's just something fantasy managers might want to keep an eye on going forward. After losing five straight, the Bucks have won four in a row, mostly against inferior teams. They've a very streaky team this season, with winning streaks of three, four, two, five and four games, and losing streaks of two, two and five games.

N/A

E. Bledsoe - SG

NOP

Eric Bledsoe hit 5-of-13 shots and four 3-pointers for 16 points, four rebounds, five assists and a steal in Thursday's tough loss against his former team, the Bucks.

Bledsoe didn't shoot it great but played well, and broke out of a bit of a slump tonight. He hadn't scored more than 12 points in his previous six games and had scored in single digits in three of those. He was fired up about playing on national TV against his former team, so it may be tough for him to have a repeat performance on against the Spurs on Saturday, but he'll try. Zion Williamson scored 34, Brandon Ingram scored 23, Lonzo Ball had 20 points, eight assists and six triples, and Steven Adams added 13 rebounds, a steal and two blocks in the Pelicans' loss.

Added 12:10 am (EST)

N/A

Z. Williamson - PF

NOP

Zion Williamson showed up for his national television appearance on Thursday, hitting 15-of-26 shots and 4-of-5 free throws for 34 points, eight rebounds, six assists, a steal and a block in 37 minutes of a 129-125 loss to the Bucks.

Zion has scored in double figures in every single game this season, has stayed healthy and really elevated his game. He's also unstoppable right now, scoring at least 23 points in his last nine games, and eclipsing 30 points in five of his last eight. He didn't hit a 3-pointer tonight but he made his free throws and filled the stat sheet. He also swapped jerseys with Giannis after the game, which was cool to see.

F. Campazzo - PG

DEN

Facundo Campazzo played 32 minutes but hit just 1-of-8 shots, 1-of-7 3-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws for five points, three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in Thursday's los to the Wizards.

He badly missed a late 3-pointer that could have won the game and just couldn't get his shot going tonight. He's one of the hardest workers in the league and is fun to watch, but has hit just 2-of-13 shots over his last two games. He had it going prior to that and the minutes are there, so just keep a close eye on him and think about grabbing him once he breaks out of his shooting funk.

J. Murray - PG

DEN

Jamal Murray hit 12-of-23 shots and six 3-pointers for 34 points, six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and five turnovers in Thursday's 112-110 loss to the streaking Wizards.

Murray is on quite a run, scoring 34, 24, 30, 50 and 35 points over his last five games. He couldn't hit the game-winning shot tonight and may have overlooked an open Michael Porter Jr. for the potential game-tying dunk, but Murray's as hot as any player in the league. Which may not be a great thing for the Nuggets, as they've lost four of their last six, losing to the Wizards twice and the Hawks one time. Nikola Jokic had 24 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, a steal, two blocks and three 3-pointers in the loss.
