Fri Feb 3 202316:06Kyrie Irving Requests A Trade Ahead Of DeadlineKyrie IrvingPGCavaliersFree Agent
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has reportedly requested a trade after declining a contract extension with the team. If his wishes aren't fulfilled, he's going to leave the team in free agency anyway. Shams Charania also reports that the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, and Dallas Mavericks have all emerged as potential suitors. In terms of fantasy value, Irving would still remain an elite fantasy contributor, but his ceiling may not be as high on another team as the Nets depended on Irving more than two of the three rumored suitors. The shakeup of role players and added assets in the trade could have the biggest fantasy effect. Managers will want to stay tuned for any updates on any official deals.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo went crazy on the Los Angeles Clippers during their one-point win on Thursday night. The Greek Freak dropped 54 points on 21-for-39 shooting while adding two threes and 10-for-15 from the line. He also chipped in 19 rebounds and two assists in the process. While his turnovers are at an all-time high and his percentages have dropped, he still shows why he's a two-time MVP on a regular basis.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar forward was listed as probable coming into this game, so there wasn't much concern he'd miss this game. It sounds like the 28-year-old is fine. The expectation is that he'll have his normal workload in this game. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Antetokounmpo is in there.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (rib) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll make his return to the court after a four-game absence. His return means that Luke Kennard heads back to the bench where he'll have less streaming appeal. The rest of the Clippers four starters remain unchanged for Thursday's matchup. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Morris back in their lineups.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The superstar guard was tagged as questionable earlier in the day. Despite that, Curry has been cleared to play and should have his normal workload. That being said, Donte DiVincenzo could still have a boost in value with Klay Thompson on the sideline. Fantasy managers looking for a streaming option in deep leagues on Thursday should consider DiVincenzo.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was originally cleared to play, but was scratched last second due to calf tightness. His absence will free up additional playing time for Jonathan Kuminga. He'll be worth streaming in most formats with the Warriors shorthanded for this contest. The hope is that Green will be ready to go for their next contest.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (shoulder) and forward Draymond Green (foot) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It sounds like both these injuries are soreness related, but the Warriors tend to usually take the cautious approach. That being said, Andrew Wiggins and Donte DiVincenzo will benefit the most if Curry sits out. Jonathan Kuminga and Anthony Lamb would also see more action, assuming Green is unable to go. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time for another update.

Thu Feb 2 202315:13Danny Green Won't Play On ThursdayDanny GreenSGSpursFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Danny Green (knee) will be kept out of Thursday's meeting with the Cavaliers. He made his season debut on Wednesday versus Portland and will sit Thursday night due to left knee surgery injury management. Green played a pretty productive 10 minutes against the Trail Blazers, picking up three points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal. He'll provide an extra option off the bench for the team and brings plenty of experience, but Green isn't going to make a big impact in fantasy basketball unless Memphis suffers a raft of injuries.

Thu Feb 2 202314:46Anthony Davis Considered Probable For Thursday's GameAnthony DavisPFNO HornetsFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) is probable for Thursday's game against Indiana. The Brow has played in three of four games since returning from a right foot injury, and with this matchup not being part of a back-to-back, we can fully expect to see him on the court. The Lakers have been slowly ramping up his workload since the return, and Davis has averaged 21.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 32.3 minutes after rejoining the lineup. He was back in the starting unit Tuesday versus the Knicks and should be his dominant self against the Pacers, who have produced poor numbers throughout the season against opposing bigs. Davis had 25 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and four blocks in the first head-to-head meeting of the season.

Thu Feb 2 202314:38LeBron James Questionable For ThursdayLeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with Indiana. The King has been troubled by a sore left ankle lately and he sat out a game against Brooklyn at the start of the week. James returned to post his first triple-double of the campaign Tuesday against the Knicks. LeBron always says that his best ability is availability and he has been playing through niggles all season, so it's pretty likely that he will shake off the questionable tag by tip-off time. The veteran superstar has just produced probably one of the best stretches of his career, having averaged 33.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.2 assists in January.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard went off on Wednesday as they took down the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 122-112. The Weber State product posted 42 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, and one block while shooting 11-for-22 overall, 5-for-13 from deep, and 15-for-16 from the charity stripe. He now has nine games of 40 or more points and is now averaging his highest points per game mark in his 11-year career. Lillard is the definition of perseverance and he's been a big-time fantasy contributor in the process.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden was just one rebound shy of a triple-double in the team's 105-94 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. He ended the game with 26 points, 10 assists, nine rebounds, and one steal while shooting 7-for-13 from the floor, 6-for-10 from deep, and 6-for-7 from the line. His seven turnovers weren't the best for fantasy managers in category leagues but higher turnover numbers are expected. Harden continues to enjoy a resurgence in both fantasy terms and his career.

Wed Feb 1 202318:12Danny Green Expected To Make Season Debut WednesdayDanny GreenSGSpursFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Danny Green (knee) is expected to get some minutes in Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Green will make his season debut and will likely face some heavy minutes restrictions as the Grizzlies ease him back into action. Green was not the most fantasy-friendly player before the injury, but was always a good source of threes and defensive stats when healthy. If he is able to shake off the minutes restrictions, Green could carve himself into a productive role for Memphis.

Wed Feb 1 202318:07Marcus Morris Sr. Iffy For ThursdayMarcus MorrisPFSunsFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (rib) is once again questionable to play Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Morris continues to miss time with a rib contusion after being listed as questionable for the past several games. Given that Morris is still questionable, there is not much optimism in his availability. If Morris remains out, Luke Kennard should continue to start, with Norman Powell seeing extra usage off the bench as well.

Wed Feb 1 202310:30Giannis Antetokounmpo Dominates Hornets On TuesdayGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo could not be stopped in the team's 124-115 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. The former MVP ended the game with 34 points, 18 rebounds, and four assists as he shot 14-for-24 from the floor and 5-for-6 from the charity stripe. He's now averaging the highest points per game mark of his career despite his efficiency taking a hit. Having the whole squad on the floor benefits Antetokounmpo from an all-around standpoint as he isn't forced to carry the entire scoring load every night.

Wed Feb 1 202310:20Nikola Vucevic Posts Strong Stat Line In Loss To ClippersNikola VucevicCMagicFree Agent
Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic posted the strongest performance out of the starting five in a losing effort to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. He finished the game with 23 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, and two steals while hitting 10 of his 15 shots and going 3-for-6 from deep. Vucevic may be somewhat lackluster this season in terms of pushing the Bulls to wins, but he's a top-25 fantasy basketball player right now and one of the most valuable bigs managers could have on their roster.

Wed Feb 1 202310:13Kawhi Leonard Leads All Scorers In Win Over ChicagoKawhi LeonardSFSpursFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard enjoyed a huge all-around game on Tuesday during the 108-103 win over the Chicago Bulls. The 31-year-old looked fresh after his rest day as he posted 33 points, four rebounds, five assists, five steals, and two blocks while shooting 11-for-24 overall and 3-for-6 from beyond the arc. Any fantasy managers that decided to hold on to him after a rough start to the season are enjoying some huge benefits now. Over his last 11 games, he's averaging 29.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 2.0 steals per game.

Wed Feb 1 202309:59LeBron James Collects His First Triple-Double Of The SeasonLeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has come close many times this season but finally recorded his first triple-double of the season on Tuesday during the overtime win over the New York Knicks. The King registered 28 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, and one steal on 11-for-25 shooting while adding two threes. When the team is fully healthy, LeBron has been able to push them over the top in multiple games. Despite missing a handful of games and producing some higher turnover games, James is still a top 20 fantasy asset this year.

Wed Feb 1 202309:50Danny Green Questionable To Make His Debut On WednesdayDanny GreenSGSpursFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies guard Danny Green (knee) has received one of his first questionable tags since tearing his ACL and LCL last season as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers in the playoffs. He said that he would return by the All-Star break this year and he seems to be on schedule with that prediction. Fantasy managers will want to wait before adding him on any rosters since he wasn't too valuable last season before getting hurt. His source of fantasy value comes from just threes and steals, so after he gets off any minute restrictions he might have little value in very deep leagues.
