While Miller may not be on the radar for most fantasy managers, his consistent production has earned him a spot in the rotation. The third-year wing has reached double figures in seven straight and eight of his last nine appearances, the most productive stretch of his career to date. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Miller has been a top-75 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Clippers’ three-game Week 15 schedule isn’t great, but he may be worth a look in deep leagues, especially if Kris Dunn (ankle) is limited or has to miss a game.

Boucher has barely seen the floor for the Celtics this season, and while he’ll now get a fresh start in Utah, that likely won’t impact his place in the rotation. If they keep him around, Boucher will be a bench piece for them.

Hayes-Davis heads back to the state of Wisconsin, where he was a star at the University of Wisconsin in college. The 31-year-old returned to the NBA this season after playing seven years abroad. He’s averaging just 7.2 minutes per game in 27 games for the Suns.

Coffey has barely been in the rotation for the Bucks this season, and now he’ll become a depth piece for Phoenix. He may see a few minutes per game, but he won’t play a large role with the Suns, barring multiple injuries on the wing.

Richards has appeared in just 28 games for the Suns this season, starting two, after starting 43 games for the Hornets and Suns last year. He’ll give the Bucks more depth at center and could even play alongside Myles Turner if the Bucks want to stretch Turner out on offense. Historically, Richards has not produced much defensive value in fantasy, which limits his overall usefulness. He should probably be left on the wire in most formats.

Anthony’s first season in Milwaukee was shaky, and they’ll move on from him quickly to acquired depth at center. Anthony will be a depth guard for Phoenix, but he hasn’t made much of a fantasy impact this year, and there is too much depth in the backcourt in Phoenix for that to change.

Despite all the reports that Milwaukee was looking to move Giannis, they will keep him through the season, though managers shouldn’t expect to see him often. He’s currently sidelined with a calf injury, and there is no reason for them to rush him back. Of course, this isn’t going to quiet any trade rumors, and teams will be revisiting a potential deal this offseason.

Brooklyn acquired Highsmith from Miami in August after undergoing knee surgery that was supposed to keep him out 8-10 weeks. He never ended up suiting up for Brooklyn, and now he’ll enter free agency.

Jones was made available for Chicago’s last game, but he didn’t see the floor. Now, he’s been ruled out for this one. Jaden Ivey is expected to be available, and Collin Sexton could make his debut as well, which should help fill some of the guard minutes with Jones out.

This is not an injury designation. Jenkins has played 49 games for the Pistons so far this season, and players on two-way contracts are limited to 50 games played during the regular season. The Pistons are likely holding Jenkins out to preserve his eligibility while working on signing him to a standard contract. Once the trade deadline is finished, we should have a better idea of how the Pistons will be able to convert his contract.

Vincent has been a reserve for the Lakers for the last few seasons, but he’ll now be a depth piece in Atlanta. He should be a reserve point guard option, which likely pushes Keaton Wallace further down the depth chart. However, with Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and CJ McCollum all healthy, there isn’t going to be many minutes for Vincent.
