D. Nwaba - SF

HOU

David Nwaba played 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Mavericks, accounting for 18 points (6-of-7 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal and two 3-pointers.

With Victory Oladipo (rest) being given the night off, there were a few more minutes available to Nwaba. And he took advantage, establishing a new season-high in points while also dishing out three assists. Over the last week Nwaba, who’s rostered in just 2% of Yahoo leagues, has provided top-30 value in 9-cat formats. Nwaba is worth a look right now, especially in deeper leagues, as he’s playing the best basketball of his career to date.

J. Embiid - C

PHI

Sixers stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, who are both on the league's health and safety protocols, are on pace to play on Thursday, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The two Philly stars missed the All-Star Game after a COVID-19 contact tracing scare but by NBA rules, they must register negative tests for five consecutive days before being cleared. And with the game having been on Sunday, Thursday would be the fifth-day meaning Embiid and Simmons could return for the Sixers' meeting with the Bulls. Stay tuned for the official word.

J. Wiseman - C

GSW

The Warriors would only trade James Wiseman or their top-3 protected 2021 pick from the Timberwolves in exchange for a generational superstar, per report.

Despite Steph Curry playing an MVP-worthy season, it appears Golden State will keep its stud rookie on the roster instead of trying to chase a title this season. According to the report, the Warriors would "almost definitely" hold on to Wiseman unless they were able to land a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo or Joel Embiid. (Spoiler: they won't get those guys.)

M. Jones - PG

HOU

The Rockets are waiving Mason Jones to sign Anthony Lamb to a two-way contract.

In 22 games, Jones averaged 5.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 11.1 minutes per game.

A. Lamb - SF

HOU

The Houston Rockets signed Anthony Lamb to a two-way contract after his season in the G League with Rio Grande Valley.

Lamb could get a chance with the Rockets depending on how the team's trade deadline goes but it's safe to leave him on the waiver wire until proven otherwise.

C. Reddish - SG

ATL

Cam Reddish had a non-surgical procedure on his right foot in regard to his sore right Achilles, and he will be re-evaluated in approximately a week.

Reddish has missed the last six Hawks games with the injury, and now he'll sit some more in a walking boot. Hopefully, this procedure will be enough to heal him for the last few months of the season. Without him, Atlanta will play Bogdan Bogdanovic and Tony Snell. If Bogdanovic is fully healed after the break, he could be in for a big few games. The Hawks play three times in the next seven days.

T. Young - PF

CHI

Bulls VP of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas is telling teams that Thaddeus Young isn’t available for trade, Kevin O'Connor reports.

Young only has $6M of his $14.2M contract for next season guaranteed and is viewed as a bargain for his strong play this season. Contenders will inevitably come calling, but the Bulls may end up holding onto him because his playmaking optimizes the young talent on Chicago's roster. KOC adds that it "may cost a pretty penny" for the Bulls to consider a trade.

V. Oladipo - SG

HOU

The Warriors are interested in acquiring Victor Oladipo according to Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer.

The Rockets are on a 13-game losing streak and Oladipo refused Houston's extension offer, so they likely want to flip him at the deadline as opposed to letting him walk for nothing this summer. It's hard to see the Warriors giving up Kelly Oubre for Oladipo with the way he's been playing lately, so Andrew Wiggins would likely be the player to move if the two sides agreed to a deal. However, nothing is imminent and it mostly sounds like Golden State is just doing their due diligence.

A. Drummond - C

CLE

If Andre Drummond hits the buyout market, Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer is hearing that the Lakers and Nets will be the favorites to acquire him.

Previous reports have also linked the Raptors and Bulls to Drummond. The Lakers also have interest in free agent DeMarcus Cousins, but that sounds like their Plan B at the moment. The Cavaliers are still hoping to trade Drummond but it won't be easy to find a taker for his massive contract, so a buyout could be looming.

B. Griffin - PF

BKN

Blake Griffin is officially a Brooklyn Net.

Griffin will wear No. 2 and will earn $1.2M for the remainder of the season. We're expecting Griffin to come off the bench and be a focal point of the second unit, so we're not expecting much in terms of fantasy value. Griffin's arrival will most likely put a dent in Jeff Green's value though.

T. Cook - PF

BKN

The 10-day contracts for Tyler Cook, Andre Roberson and Iman Shumpert have all expired.

It remains to be seen if any of these three guys will get another deal in Brooklyn. The Nets did bring in Blake Griffin over the break, so there's no room for fantasy value for these guys anyways.

P. George - SG

LAC

Paul George (dizziness) explained his absence prior to the All-Star break and returned on Sunday night to score 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting.

George explained that caffeine was the reason he missed Thursday's game. "A lesson learned," George said, according to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk. "I had too much caffeine. I think it was too much caffeine at that time. It made me real jittery and sped me up. A lesson learned on that situation, never have too much caffeine too close on back to back (games)." George played 26 minutes in the All-Star Game and added two assists, two rebounds, and one steal to his 17 points. It looks like he'll be just fine after the break.

S. Curry - PG

GSW

Steph Curry returned from a rest day with the Warriors to score 28 points to help Team LeBron beat Team Durant, 170-150.

Curry lost out on MVP to his teammate, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored 35 points on perfect 16-of-16 shooting, but Curry was still tremendous. He made 10-of-19 shots from the field including eight 3-pointers and added four rebounds, four assists, and two steals. The rest day was surely precautionary, and managers can expect him in full form after the break.
