O. Porter - SF

CHI

Coach Jim Boylen said he's optimistic that Porter (foot) will be ready to practice shortly after the All-Star break, Jamal Collier of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The Bulls will return to work Tuesday before kicking off their second-half schedule Thursday versus the Hornets. While Porter -- who has been out since November due to the fractured left foot -- probably isn't a serious candidate to play Thursday, he appears on track to suit up at some point before the end of February. Before the Bulls pinpoint a target date, Porter will need to complete at least one or two full-court, full-contact practices. Prior to the break, Porter had ditched his walking boot but had only been able to take part in light shooting drills.

F. Ntilikina - PG

NYK

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

Ntilikina's 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." The emergence of Immanuel Quickley is probably a big reason why. 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

OKC

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.

I. Quickley - PG

NYK

Immanuel Quickley shot 1-of-11 from the field in Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz, finishing the game with six points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes.

Quickley had arguably his worst game as a pro Tuesday night, two days after he surpassed the 30-point mark for the first time. But it’s worth noting that starter Elfrid Payton also struggled, as he shot 2-of-7 from the field and accounted for four points, two rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes. Payton remains Tom Thibodeau’s preferred choice at the point, due in large part to his experience. Until the head coach's line of thinking changes, Quickley will remain in the backup role.

J. Randle - PF

NYK

Julius Randle finished Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz with 18 points (6-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes.

Another game, another double-double for Randle, who has put up five in his last six games and 13 this season (ten in January). The coaching change has worked wonders for Randle when it comes to his fantasy value, as he is a top-50 player in both 8- and 9-cat formats. His Yahoo 9-cat ADP was 82, so it’s safe to say that Julius is exceeding expectations.

R. Barrett - SG

NYK

RJ Barrett shot 7-of-11 from the field in Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz, tallying 17 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal and three 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

Barrett was perfect from three Tuesday night, and after a slow start to the season he has played better recently. Over the last two weeks, he has provided top-100 value in both 8- and 9-cat formats. Barrett is clearly one of the players that Tom Thibodeau trusts, as evidenced by his high minutes count, so as long as he produces in an efficient manner his fantasy value should continue to improve.

A. Rivers - SG

NYK

Austin Rivers finished Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz with 25 points (10-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and five 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

Rivers had it rolling during the first half, making all 10 of his field goal attempts. But Utah managed to shut him down after halftime, with Rivers going 0-of-4 from the field. Rivers fell one shot shy of the Knicks’ franchise record for most made field goals without a miss. Ranked well outside of the top-200 in 9-cat formats, Rivers is rostered in just 5% of Yahoo leagues. Even with the lack of consistent production from Knicks guards not named RJ Barrett, there’s no need to grab Rivers off of the waiver wire.
