  • FA Power Forward #16

    The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that Usman Garuba has signed a two-way deal with the Warriors.
    Through two NBA seasons, the Spanish big man has averaged just 2.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks across 11.4 minutes per contest. Still just 21 years old and boasting a three-and-D skillset, he’s got the potential to be productive with the Warriors if he can crack the rotation. Until that happens, he’s not worth rostering outside of deep dynasty leagues.
  • NOP Center #41

    Kelly Olynyk won’t make his Pelicans debut against the Kings on Thursday.
    Olynyk appears poised to back up Yves Missi at center when he’s ready to play, but he still needs a little bit of time after being shipped off by the Raptors.
  • NOP Power Forward #1
    Zion Williamson (conditioning) and Brandon Boston Jr. have been ruled out for Thursday’s Pelicans-Kings game.
    Williamson won’t play in the second leg of a back-to-back for conditioning reasons while Boston is still recovering from a left ankle sprain. Javonte Green has the best chance to step into Williamson’s starting role.
  • SAC Point Guard #20
    Markelle Fultz and the Kings have agreed to a contract, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
    After hitting free agency last summer, Fultz could not find a deal with another NBA franchise. That reportedly changed Wednesday evening, as the first overall pick in the 2017 draft is headed to Sacramento. While Fultz is not a player who should be rostered in fantasy leagues, the Kings offer an opportunity to earn rotation minutes. Sacramento traded De’Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin to the Spurs just before the trade deadline, leaving the rotation without a “true” point guard.
  • MEM Small Forward #0
    Jaylen Wells accumulated 18 points (7-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals, and three three-pointers in 31 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers.
    Wells’ value to the Grizzlies has not translated to fantasy basketball, so he’s rostered in just four percent of Yahoo leagues. However, what he’s done for Memphis is why he’s considered among the best rookies in this class, even if the numbers aren’t always there. Wells had a good night on Wednesday, shooting 70 percent from the field and finishing one blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. His game hasn’t been fantasy-friendly, so this performance should not be used as a reason to add Wells.
  • MEM Shooting Guard #22
    Desmond Bane shot 8-of-17 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers, accounting for 23 points, six rebounds, four assists, and six three-pointers in 37 minutes.
    Bane was scalding hot to begin Wednesday’s game, scoring 16 first-quarter points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field. Unfortunately for him and fantasy managers, that flurry was the highlight of Bane’s night. He would score seven points the rest of the night, racking up more turnovers (four) than made field goals (two) during the final three quarters. However, despite that in-game fall from grace, Bane has provided top-25 value in eight-cat formats over the past month. After getting his college jersey retired during the All-Star break, Bane will look to bounce back on February 20 when the Grizzlies visit the Pacers.
  • MEM Shooting Guard #10
    Luke Kennard finished Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers with 12 points (5-of-10 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two three-pointers in 31 minutes.
    Memphis was without Ja Morant for Wednesday’s game, so Kennard started for the fifth time in the Grizzlies’ last seven games. While this has given him more opportunities to flourish, he’s only reached double figures in two of those starts (Wednesday and January 30 vs. Houston). Kennard is worth the streaming risk on nights like Wednesday but is far from a lock to shine for fantasy managers. While Morant should be back after the All-Star break, the Grizzlies play three games in four days to complete Week 16. Kennard may get another opportunity to start one of the games in that February 20/21 back-to-back.
  • LAC Shooting Guard #13
    Bogdan Bogdanovic accounted for seven points (3-of-4 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one three-pointer in 18 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.
    Acquired from the Hawks on trade deadline day, Bogdanovic made his Clippers debut Wednesday night. While the final stat line wasn’t anything to write home about, he can give the Clippers valuable production off the bench. For those who still have Bogdanovic rostered, the hope is that a change of scenery will get him back on track after struggling this season in Atlanta. Following the game, Bogdanovic said he expects to be available for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.
  • LAC Point Guard #8
    Kris Dunn amassed 14 points (5-of-6 FGs), three rebounds, five assists, five steals, and four three-pointers in 21 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.
    Dunn was inserted into the Clippers’ starting lineup due to an apparent concern about Memphis’ ability to force turnovers. He may have used that as motivation to raise hell himself. Not only did he match his season and career highs with five steals, but Dunn was also a perfect 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. He did have to leave the game with an undisclosed injury, but Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said after the game that he expects Dunn to be available for Thursday’s game against the Jazz. Derrick Jones Jr., who moved to the bench, played 21 minutes and finished with nine points, two rebounds, one steal, and one three-pointer.
  • LAC Center #40
    Ivica Zubac shot 5-of-7 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies, scoring 12 points with 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one blocked shot in 33 minutes.
    Zubac has reached double figures in four straight and eight of his last nine appearances, recording seven double-doubles during this run. He and Norman Powell (18/5/2/2 with one three-pointer) have been consistently productive, which is one of the reasons why the Clippers will hold a top-6 seed in the West heading into the All-Star break. The Clippers will end their pre-break portion of the schedule with a game against the Jazz on Thursday.
  • LAC Point Guard #1
    James Harden accounted for 18 points (6-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, one block, and two three-pointers in 35 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies.
    While he was responsible for five turnovers, Harden finished Wednesday’s victory with his third double-double in as many games. Over the past month, The Beard has provided first-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. And that’s with Harden shooting 39.4 percent from the field. The only fantasy managers who should be concerned are those who can’t afford to take a hit in the turnover category, as Harden has been excellent otherwise.
