    Jalen Brunson logged 37 minutes in Monday’s 124-118 win over Houston, tallying 42 points (14-of-27 FGs, 13-of-14 FTs), six rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer.
    After struggling during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, the Knicks had no such issues on Monday. And Brunson had much to do with that. New York outscored Houston by a 46-29 margin in the final frame, with the captain scoring 17 of his game-high 42 points. Over the past month, Brunson has offered 4th-round value in 8-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. He’ll look to build on Monday’s performance when the Knicks visit Toronto on Tuesday.

    Victor Wembanyama contributed 17 points (8-of-11 FGs), seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks in the All-Star Game on Sunday.
    The No. 1 overall pick in 2023 played in his first All-Star Game on Sunday, but he wasn’t able to help Team Chuck walk away victorious. Wemby scored 11 of his 17 points in the championship game against Team Shaq, which was nearly half of his team’s 25 points. Wembanyama didn’t have much help from his teammates in the championship, but he still played well in his first of many All-Star appearances.
  • OKC Point Guard #2
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 16 points (6-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers in the All-Star Game on Sunday.
    SGA took over in the semifinal round of the All-Star Game, scoring 12 points without missing a shot while leading Team Chuck to a 41-32 win over Team Kenny. He hit a three-pointer to get them to 39 points and followed that up with a dunk to get them to the target score of 40 points. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to replicate that success against Team Shaq, which is why they lost the championship 41-25.
  • MIN Shooting Guard #5
    Anthony Edwards didn’t play in the All-Star Game on Sunday due to groin soreness.
    Edwards said that if he had a longer warm-up he may have tried to play, but he didn’t have enough time to test out his groin, so he didn’t risk it. Edwards was dealing with soreness in his right hip prior to the All-Star break, but he was able to play in Minnesota’s last three games. They don’t play their next game until Friday in Houston. Edwards should have time to rest up, but managers should keep an eye on the injury report as that game approaches.
  • LAL Small Forward #23
    LeBron James will not play in the All-Star Game due to his lingering foot and ankle soreness.
    James has been on every injury report as he continues to manage this ailment. The Lakers play Charlotte on Wednesday, so he’ll take the extra time to make sure he’s healthy for that game instead of playing in this exhibition. Expect him to be on the injury report for their game against the Hornets, but this shouldn’t cause too much concern.
  • MIL Power Forward #34
    Giannis Antetokounmpo responded, “If you do it. I’ll do it with you” to Ja Morant’s post on X that “mac might make me decide to dunk.”
    The 2016 Slam Dunk Contest was a true masterpiece, as Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon traded phenomenal jams all night. Since that magical performance, the contest has gone downhill, and lack of superstar participation is a big reason. McClung’s recent three-peat has brought a new level of excitement to the dying contest and, if Giannis and Ja’s posts on X are any indication, McClung has revived it. Morant replied to his own post later with “zach and ag wassup” seemingly challenging LaVine and Gordon to enter on what would be the 10th anniversary of their famous showdown. A dunk contest with those four participants would surely bring some attention to All-Star’s Saturday night festivities.
  • ORL Point Guard #8
    Mac McClung won Saturday’s AT&T Slam Dunk Contest, beating Stephon Castle in the final.
    McClung became the first competitor to take home the title three straight years in the event’s history, which dates back to 1976. The Magic two-way contract guard scored a perfect 50 on all four dunks, outscoring Castle 100-99.6 in the final round. McClung, last season’s G League MVP, has not been able to earn an opportunity at an extended run in Orlando, so he won’t impact fantasy basketball anytime soon.
  • MIA Point Guard #14
    Tyler Herro won Saturday’s Starry Three-Point Contest, scoring 24 points in the final round.
    After hanging onto the final qualifying spot out of the first round, Herro scored 24 in the finals to beat Warriors guard Buddy Hield. The first-time All-Star is the fifth Heat player to win the three-point contest, joining Glen Rice, Jason Kapono, Daequan Cook, and James Jones. Herro’s fantasy production this season has been excellent, as he entered the All-Star break as a fourth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. With Jimmy Butler no longer in the picture, the Heat need Herro’s scoring even more, which is a positive for fantasy managers who have him rostered.
  • CLE Shooting Guard #45
    Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley won the Kia Skills Challenge at All-Star Saturday Night in San Francisco.
    Mitchell and Mobley represented the Cavaliers well, winning the Kia Skills Challenge to open the Saturday night festivities. Two reasons why Cleveland went into the break with the second-best record in the NBA, Mitchell and Mobley have been top-25 players in nine-cat formats. The lone concern for fantasy managers who have either player rostered would be for Cleveland to maintain its stranglehold on the top spot in the East. That may encourage the Cavaliers to occasionally rest key players before the postseason, which may impact the availability of Mitchell and Mobley during the fantasy playoff weeks.
  • CHA Center #5
    NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Saturday that the Hornets have not filed a protest over the rescinded trade that would have sent Mark Williams to the Lakers.
    Williams, who was initially traded to the Lakers at the February 6 deadline, was not with the Hornets for any of their three games before the All-Star break after the deal was rescinded. While it was reported on February 11 that the Hornets were exploring their options with the league, the franchise has not filed a protest with the NBA. “No. Charlotte has not filed a protest of any kind,” Silver said Saturday. “I think the larger issue is if there is a different standard of sort in terms of players passing physicals in trades. It’s something we should look at as a league.” It’s unknown if Williams will rejoin the Hornets after the break, with the team’s first game being against the Lakers on Wednesday in a makeup of the matchup that was postponed due to the January wildfires in Los Angeles County.
  • CHA Shooting Guard #14
    Hornets signed Wendell Moore to a two-way contract.
    ESPN’s Shams Charania broke the news that Moore, the 26th overall pick by the Timberwolves in the 2022 draft, is headed to Charlotte after spending time earlier this season with the Pistons. The 23-year-old shooting guard appeared in 20 games with Detroit, averaging 11 minutes per game and 3.2 points per game. While he’ll add to Charlotte’s overall depth, it’s difficult to see him providing fantasy value in the second half of the season.
