  • Kyshawn George SF | WAS

    Wizards' Kyshawn George: Limited in win

    George supplied six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 19 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Pacers.

    George logged fewer than 25 minutes for the fifth time in his past six appearances, raising some doubt as to his overall fantasy appeal. Despite putting together what could be considered a breakout campaign, it appears as though George's playing time could be limited for the run home. For now, he warrants a roster spot in most leagues. However, managers will want to keep an eye on his minutes moving forward, as he could eventually become a disposable asset.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Blocks three shots Thursday

    Huff finished with 15 points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 21 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Wizards.

    Despite playing just 21 minutes, Huff managed to contribute on both ends of the floor once again. In 12 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 8.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers and 2.3 combined steals and blocks in just 20.1 minutes per game. Indiana's rotation from one night to the next is going to be a huge source of frustration for fantasy managers. While Huff should continue to put up solid numbers, a lack of playing time could eventually signal an end to his must-roster status.

  • Micah Potter PF | IND

    Pacers' Micah Potter: Posts 14 points, six boards in loss

    Potter notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to the Wizards.

    Potter scored in double digits for the third straight game, having now also played at least 26 minutes in four consecutive appearances. While his ceiling remains somewhat limited, if he is going to continue playing a sizeable role, he should at least be on the radar in standard fantasy leagues.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Rough night Thursday

    Nembhard chipped in five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and four assists across 22 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 loss to Washington.

    Nembhard saw just 22 minutes, turning in one of his worst performances of the season. With Indiana doing everything it can to lose games, it appears as though Nembhard's time as a standard-league asset could be on the brink of ending. Generally speaking, he should be able to maintain relevancy, at least from a per-minute standpoint. However, assuming his playing time is limited moving forward, it's hard to roster him with any confidence.

  • OG Anunoby SF | NY

    Knicks' OG Anunoby: Records four blocks in return

    Anunoby (toe) recorded eight points (3-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four blocks over 32 minutes during the Knicks' 126-111 loss to the Pistons on Thursday.

    Anunoby was given the green light to return from a four-game absence due to a right toenail avulsion, with his recovery from the injury being aided by the extended rest that came during the All-Star break. The veteran forward struggled to get his shot going, but he made his presence felt defensively with a season-high block total.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Posts double-double vs. Detroit

    Towns registered 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during the Knicks' 126-111 loss to the Pistons on Thursday.

    It took a while for Towns to get going during Thursday's contest, as the star center scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half and finished as the Knicks' second-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (33 points). Towns leads the NBA with 38 double-doubles, eight of which have come in as many games. He has averaged 18.4 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 29.6 minutes per game since Feb. 1. However, Towns is connecting on 25.0 percent of his three-point attempts on just 3.4 3PA/G over that span, which is an area he'll look to improve on as the Knicks make a final push before the start of the postseason.

  • Tobias Harris PF | DET

    Pistons' Tobias Harris: Double-double vs. NYK

    Harris logged 11 points (4-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 32 minutes during Detroit's 126-111 win over New York on Thursday.

    It wasn't the most efficient night from the field for Harris, but the veteran forward still put together a productive performance and finished as the Pistons' second-leading rebounder behind Cade Cunningham (13). Harris now has two double-doubles on the season, each of which have come over his last two outings. He has averaged 13.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals over 29.7 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

  • Brandon Miller SG | CHA

    Hornets' Brandon Miller: Experiences dreadful shooting night

    Miller produced 17 points (5-22 FG, 1-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 105-101 loss to the Rockets.

    Miller posted his worst shooting performance of the season from beyond the arc. However, he still managed to finish second on his team in scoring with the help of 22 attempts from the field. Miller is converting at a rate of just 32.9 percent from the field over his last four outings.

  • Paul Reed C | DET

    Pistons' Paul Reed: Another strong start

    Reed registered 18 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during the Pistons' 126-111 win over the Knicks on Thursday.

    Reed put together a nice stat line during Thursday's win, finishing as the Pistons' third-leading rebounder and second in points behind Cade Cunningham (42). Reed has started in each of the Pistons' last two games but will likely revert to a bench role against the Bulls on Saturday since Jalen Duren will be available to return after serving a two-game suspension. That said, Reed should see an elevated role off the bench in the short term as Isaiah Stewart (suspension) will not be eligible to return until March 3.

  • Grant Williams PF | CHA

    Hornets' Grant Williams: Nearly secures double-double

    Williams registered 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Thursday's 105-101 loss to the Rockets.

    Williams fell just one rebound shy of his first double-double of the season while putting together a strong all-around performance. He's looked sharp in two starts while filling in for Miles Bridges (suspension), and he led the Hornets in points, rebounds and made treys Thursday night. Williams will have more opportunities to produce while Bridges serves the final two games of his four-game suspension.
