ROTATION NOTES

Amar'e Stoudmire and Cole Aldrich returned after missing four and three games respectively. Stoudemire scored nine points in 18 minutes, and Aldrich played a team-low nine minutes. Jason Smith played fewer than 30 minutes for the first time in nine games. With news of a possible Stoudemire buyout, Smith's minutes and value should return to the 10.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.0 blocks he provided in 32.7 minutes the previous eight games. He's a floor-spacing big with underestimated passing skills and a decent grasp of the triangle offense. Keep him on the watch list, and hope he doesn't succumb to another season-ending injury.

Brook Lopez started the second half over sophomore Mason Plumlee, a growing trend in the Big Apple. Plumlee owners weren't banking on Lopez playing 23 straight games, a mere road bump in the grand scheme. You can't shouldn't trade Plumlee with his value this low, so wait it out (especially if a Lopez trade is consummated) or drop him in roto leagues because his 48 percent accuracy from the line on 4.6 attempts won't salvage your season. Remember to think big picture. Understand there are only six more days of NBA action before the trade deadline (February 19th), and Lopez's injury history plays a factor.

Solomon Hill replaced Rodney Stuckey in the starting lineup one game after C.J. Miles displaced Hill. It's been a lost offensive season for Hill, who provided 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 36 minutes. His role is to provide rugged defense and shoot when open. An offseason working on his jump shot would be most beneficial, especially from long range.

Roy Hibbert played a season-high 40 minutes, recording at least 30 minutes in back-to-back games for the first time since December 4th and 5th. This won't be a regular occurrence for someone averaging 25.5 minutes per game on the season. The absence of Ian Mahinmi (ankle) and Lavoy Allen (knee) contributed heavily.

Kevin Love, true to form, scored all five of his points in the first four minutes of the first quarter, only to disappear in the second half and ride pine the final 3:30 in favor of Iman Shumpert. Kyrie Irving added 29 points, and LeBron James contributed 25 points. Role players J.R. Smith and Timofey Mozgov supplied 17 and 13 points respectively. James attempts to get Love looks at the beginning of every quarter, but as the game progesses, all momentum is lost.

Interim head coach James Borrego summoned Channing Frye over Evan Fournier for his first starting lineup change. After attending their grandfather's funeral in the morning, Tobias Harris scored a career-high 34 points (14-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and Frye hit a three-pointer. I'm not going to overreact to an almost flawless game. Last season, Harris crafted a 28-point, 20-rebound performance against the same franchise. It's worth noting the minute's distribution in this overtime win: Harris - 45; Nikola Vucevic - 41; Victor Oladipo - 37; Elfrid Payton - 34. Coach Borrego ran a slower pace than Orlando has been accustomed to the past month, achieving 91 possessions per 48 minutes. He stated before the game, "We want to play with pace. I'll say that. But the pace should come out of getting stops." His defensive mindset halted a 10-game losing streak and snapped a 14-game streak of allowing at least 100 points to their opponents. This is the new normal until general manager Rob Hennigan finds a replacement.

Aaron Gordon came off the bench after missing one game due to foot soreness, leading all reserves with 23 minutes. He primarily played power forward last night, limiting Frye to 17 minutes. Gordon compliments coach Borrego's defensive mentality, enough to find himself near the top of your watch list.

Austin Rivers was appointed the starting shooting guard, shifting Jamal Crawford into his customary sixth man role. Each guard played at least 33 minutes, highlighted by Rivers' 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and four steals. Until J.J. Redick (back spasms) returns to the lineup, Rivers' competition, besides Crawford, is Dahntay Jones. Five of Rivers' last six games ended with at least 10 points. I wouldn't rule 20-25 minutes per game out of the question with Redick sidelined, extending his fantasy usefulness through the All-Star break (three games). Some can use him as a streamer Sunday or Monday; the rest can ignore him because the Clippers don't qualify for any quality games (days with seven games or fewer) until the first day after the All-Star break.

James Johnson returned from a nagging hamstring injury that held him out the previous four games. He scored 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 FT) in 19 minutes and added five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Coach Dwane Casey's been reticent to deploy Johnson as the starter or give him 25 minutes a night. If that changes, Johnson's ability to fill up a stat sheet qualifies him as a flier candidate.

Terrence Ross started over Greivis Vasquez in the second half. Coach Casey loves the old switcheroo. This time, it didn't pan out as hoped. Ross contributed one point, and Vasquez scored 12 of his 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) in the fourth quarter. Neither is desirable in standard leagues, especially with James Johnson ready to pilfer minutes.

Jonas Valanciunas was limited to 20 minutes due to ineffectiveness. Of note, he's blocked a shot in 12 straight games (longest streak in his career) and converted at least 50 percent from the field in 11 straight (second longest streak in his career). The only thing he can't do is play fourth-quarter minutes.

JaKarr Sampson moonlighted at point guard after Michael Carter-Williams (foot) was ruled out. K.J. McDaniels shifted into the starting lineup, only playing 23 minutes and scoring 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT). It's a step in the right direction, especially without Carter-Williams feeding him the rock.  With two more games against two solid defenses, Charlotte and Golden State, I want to see if McDaniels can reproduce his solid play before I invest.

Penn State alumnus Tim Frazier compiled five points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-5 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds, and two steals in 35 minutes. He was hounded by Marcus Smart, yet managed to become just the seventh player in NBA history to record 11 assists in his debut. Frazier's appealing in the same way Larry Drew II was appealing; as long as Carter-Williams rests, he'll provided serviceable assist numbers and not much else. He benefitted from quick catch-and-shoots on a team that shot uncharacteristically well (48 percent in the second half).

Jared Sullinger's hokey pokey dance concluded with him in the starting lineup, reducing Tyler Zeller to reserve status. Even in 30 minutes, Sullinger provided 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, a career-high seven assists, two steals, and one block. Zeller boasted 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, three blocks, and one assist in 26 minutes, playing two fewer minutes than Brandon Bass. Statistically speaking, Zeller's recently produced like Carlos Boozer. While that may not be his career path, it's only rosterable if you're willing to wait for increased minutes when/if Bass plays for another team.

Ersan Ilyasova played his first game since January 27th. As is tradition in the Kidd household, John Henson was capped at 21 minutes, one game after playing a season-high 38 minutes. Ilyasova played 16 minutes and shot 3-of-10 from the field. This game also marked the 10th game of Larry Sanders' suspension, but it may not be the final. The league has final say on Sanders' reinstatement, needing sufficient proof to overturn the punishment. To be honest, I haven't heard anything on the matter, and as such, conclude we won't see him tonight against the Celtics or any time before the All-Star break (three games).

Kevin Durant played for the second time in the last six games, sending Dion Waiters to the bench. Coach Scott Brooks played him 43 minutes, squashing any limitation concerns. He scored 27 points on 26 shots, deferring to the greatness of Russell Westbrook.

Perry Jones III played one second after missing two games. The video above encompasses that one second.

With Alex Len (ankle) out through the All-Star break, Miles Plumlee reacquainted himself with the starting lineup and played 26 minutes. No matter what team Brandan Wright plays for, he'll never exceed 20 minutes a night. The story of the game was Marcus Morris, who scored 24 of his career-high 34 points (11-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), in the first half and grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds to boot. Isaiah Thomas said in an interview that Markieff Morris has the chubbier face, distinguishing him from his brother. I couldn't tell you if they decided to swap jerseys for one night, but Markieff was an uncharacteristic 6-of-18 from the field in 31 minutes. Did they pull a Freaky Friday? No one can know for sure, but when Marcus returns to mediocrity against the Kings, I'm launching a formal investigation. He was the second most added player in Yahoo! leagues, and I understand why; I'm just not a fan of chasing stats. With Len shelved through the All-Star break, you'll get two more Suns' games. The injury isn't a serious one, so I'd rather spend the roster spot on someone who might earn an increased role post-trade deadline, rather than pin my hopes on two games of unrepeatable production. You feel me?

Tiago Splitter returned to action after missing one game. Aron Baynes started at center instead of Boris Diaw. Marco Belinelli started in the second half over Danny Green. Green doesn't play as much when Kawhi Leonard is healthy, breaching 30 minutes twice in the past 10 games. Shooting slump notwithstanding, Green's averaging 2.4 three-pointers, 1.8 steals, and 2.0 blocks in 24 minutes per game over the last five contests.

Hassan Whiteside (ankle) didn't play. That was the story of the Heat's loss to the Spurs. That, and Mario Chalmers is a hot mess. The Heat doesn't play again until Tuesday, probably providing sufficient healing time for Mr. Whiteside.

FANTASY LINE OF THE NIGHT

Russell Westbrook scored a career-high 48 points (15-28 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 15-15 FT), accumulated 11 assists, grabbed nine rebounds, and recorded four steals in what was his third straight inhuman display. He just scored 93 points in back-to-back games against the Pelicans, a team they don't face the rest of the season. Anything I write won't accurately portray what happened last night or this past week. If you have six minutes, just watch the video below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k2iwjXOmDc

TRIPLE-DOUBLE WATCH

Apparently, I was wrong on DeMar DeRozan. After documenting his shortcomings and advocating selling, DeRozan switched stat lines with Kyle Lowry, efforting 24 points (6-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 12-13 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in 32 minutes. Even though he's shooting 39 percent in his last six games, the 6.3 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game exceeded my expectations. Nevertheless, I'd prefer Andrew Wiggins over DeRozan the rest of the season.

Josh Smith, welcome back. I accept you with arms wide open, under the sunlight. Welcome to this place. I'll show you everything. All he needed was a position change and willing facilitator. Not only did Smith drop 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal against the Bucks; he's shooting 48 percent from downtown in his last 10 games. How's that possible? Well, he's no longer launching top of the key threes, instead allowing his teammates to set him up from the right corner and elbows. After watching all of his makes over the last 10 games, I wonder how perception would change if he played with John Wall, the most prodigious three-point generator.

Much like Stephon Marbury in the playoffs, Tyreke Evans stepped it up a whole nother level. First, I'm going to hit you with some stats. Then, I'm going to hit you with some facts. In 42 minutes, Evans produced 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), a career-high 16 assists, 10 rebounds, one steal, one block, and six turnovers. He recorded at least 12 assists in five of his last seven games, averaging 8.5 assists since Holiday's leg injury. Evans leads the league in total drives to the basket (613) and drives per game (12.5). In the longest streak of his career, Evans made at least one three-pointer in 11 straight games on 37 percent shooting from downtown. That doesn't even make sense for a career 27 percent three-point shooter.

BOX SCORE HIGHLIGHTS AND ODDITIES

Jose Calderon found his shooting stroke of late, registering five straight games over 54 percent shooting. In those five contests, Calderon's averaging 10.8 points, 5.4 assists, and 1.6 three-pointers while shooting 60 percent from the field and 73 percent from downtown. It's a quaint little hot streak you can ride in roto leagues. Exercise caution in head-to-head leagues given the unsustainability and uncertainty of his future less than two weeks from the trade deadline.

Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points on 23 shots in a hefty 37 minutes. He likely won't play tonight, giving you two more games of almost certain production. I'm of the mindset he'll play the two home games directly after the All-Star break as a thank you to the fans. However, his ultimate shutdown is the worst kept secret in the NBA. The sooner he goes under the knife, the faster the Knicks secure a top-5 draft pick. He, Jason Smith, and Tim Hardaway, Jr. are the only Knicks to play in all 10 wins.

Langston Galloway grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds, a remarkable feat for a 6'2" shooting guard. I'm still deploying Galloway on a nightly basis, even when the Knicks don't play. His rest of season value inflates once Anthony calls it quits.

Jarrett Jack, legendary Knicks' destroyer, sank the game-clinching three-pointer en route to 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight assists, and two rebounds in a team-high 42 minutes. His counterpart, Deron Williams, shot 2-of-9 in 26 minutes. To quote a song I heard in a commercial or something, "insanity, why are you my clarity?" The recent Darren Collison hip flexor strain could reopen trade talks between Sacramento and Brooklyn for reasons only known to the Kings' front office. Until then, both players carry varying levels of fantasy value, led, momentarily, by Jack because of the minute's distribution.

C.J. Miles torched his former club, the Cavaliers, for 16 of his 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT) in the fourth quarter. He's eighth in three-point attempts per game (6.4), requiring just 25.0 minutes per game. A healthy Miles contributes positively in four categories (points, three-pointers, free-throw percentage, and steals). He's like a knockoff Trevor Ariza.

George Hill continues to flourish sans Lance Stephenson and Paul George. In 26 minutes, Hill dropped 20 points, a season-high seven assists, three rebounds, one steal, and one block. His numbers this season in 22.8 minutes per game are nearly identical to his stats from the 2012-13 season in 34.5 minutes per game, and his usage rate from last season to this season doubled (28.5 percent), good for 15th highest in the league. Can I get a hallelujah?

Elfrid Payton played in his league-leading 53rd game this season. Nikola Vucevic tied Pau Gasol for most double-doubles (31) with 25 points and 13 rebounds. The Magic plays the fewest games (29) the rest of the season. Conversely, the Kings and Warriors play a maximum 34 games before the NBA playoffs.

Nick Young was held scoreless on six attempts and recorded three assists in a team-low 16 minutes. It's the sixth time he's played at least 10 minutes and didn't score in a game. Ryan Kelly hit five three-pointers on his way to 20 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in 33 minutes. The 20 points eclipses his sum total from the previous six games. Jordan Clarkson, Jeremy Lin, and Carlos Boozer scored 14 points each, with Clarkson missing eight of his last night shots and Lin blocking a shot for the third time in five games. Ronnie Price has been excommunicated from the rotation until after the All-Star break (at least three games), per coach Byron Scott.

Chris Paul and Blake Griffin each recorded nine assists and six rebounds. Griffin is averaging a career-high 5.1 assists and a career-low 7.5 rebounds per game, qualifying as the only player in the league with at least 20 points, seven rebounds, and five assists per game.

DeAndre Jordan secured his fewest rebounds since January 11th, signifying only the seventh time he grabbed fewer than 10 rebounds all season.

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 55 points, 14 assists, four steals, three blocks, and eight three-pointers. They're indistinguishable. Draymond Green grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds, aided by 10 offensive boards. Since David Lee's return December 22nd, Green's numbers have tapered off, including his minutes from 33.8 per game to 30.0 per game, exacerbated by fourth quarter resting. With a possible Lee trade, now is an ideal time to test the market for Green, as long as you can stomach the hit in both percentages.

The Hawks starters were true to form in their win over the Warriors. It was the bench that came up exceptional. Kent Bazemore provided 11 points and five rebounds, Dennis Schroder helped with nine points and seven assists, and Mike Scott gave us a vintage Mike Scott performance: 17 points with three three-pointers and not much else. Al Horford was in foul trouble, extending the bench past their normal bedtime.

Marcus Smart getting minutes trumps his scoring abilities, or lack thereof, because in the fourth time in five games, he scored less than five points. However, in three starts, he's averaging 7.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.3 steals, and 29 percent shooting in 38.3 minutes per game. Compadre Evan Turner hasn't been performing well outside of rebounds and assists. His demise in Boston appears forthcoming, whether by trade or buyout. Once that occurs, you primarily need to worry about Phil Pressey stealing minutes and touches.

Greg Monroe furnished 21 points and a career-high 21 rebounds the day his grandmother passed. It probably helped that he was guarded by Kenneth Faried, one of the worst post defenders in the league. In the 23 games since Josh Smith was removed from the team, Monroe is averaging 16.3 points and 12.3 rebounds with a league-high 16 double-doubles in a team-high 31.4 minutes per game.

D.J. Augustin is averaging 35.2 minutes per game over the last eight, coinciding with his term as the starting point guard. Against the hapless Nuggets, Augustin contributed 22 points and 11 assists. I tend to think the story lies with backup John Lucas III. Will he average 20 minutes a night eventually? I don't know, but in the last two contests, he's averaging 5.5 assists in 14.7 minutes per game. As he acclimates to the system and his role expands, he'll sustain decent deep league value.

The Nuggets' players underwhelmed, presumably due to a team wide illness, one that held Kenneth Faried scoreless three games ago. They have two days off before their next game. Hopefully that's enough to knock off the 1-of-10 shooting performance from Jusuf Nurkic or the six points in 23 minutes from Arron Afflalo.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored at least 25 points for the second consecutive game for the first time in his career. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? He finished with a career-high 27 points and career-high 15 rebounds in 34 minutes. I watched the highlights to confirm it happened, and holy expletive, he hit all of his midrange jumpers, finished through contact, threaded the needle, and when Patrick Beverley switched on him, Antetokounmpo posted him up from the foul line uninhibited. Off the top of my head, I believe he shot 19 percent from the midrange last season.

Jerryd Bayless lost his stranglehold on the free-throw percentage crown after missing three out of four attempts. Kyle Korver now stands at the summit, preserving 92 percent accuracy from the charity stripe.

Donatas Motiejunas blocked a shot for the first time in nine games. He averages the fewest blocks per game for centers who hold opponents to less than 47 percent at the rim. Motiejunas adheres to the Roy Hibbert verticality method, rarely unleashing a vicious swat.

James Harden added to his list of scoring accolades this season by concocting 33 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 12-17 FT), five assists, three rebounds, and one steal in 40 minutes. He's scored 208 more points and attempted 101 more free throws than the next closest player.

Trevor Ariza hasn't missed his last 20 free throws. I track things like this. This is my life. Even though Ariza didn't get to the line, he provided 24 points (9-21 FG, 6-10 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 39 minutes. Make that 17 consecutive games with at least one three-pointer, buffered by 6.1 attempts per game during the streak. Not to get sidetracked, but J.R. Smith is averaging 8.2 three-point attempts in that same time frame, corresponding with his arrival in Cleveland.

All but two of Ricky Rubio's shot attempts were midrange jumpers or threes. He's willingly shooting off the dribble, almost as if to prove to the defense and himself that he's a long-range threat. It's a bit telegraphed; he'll take one short dribble to his side before setting and firing away. His biggest hurdle resides in the restricted area, a zone he's seldom visited since returning. It makes sense, too. He sprained his ankle badly last time he attacked the basket, and history almost repeated itself last night when he landed awkwardly on a fastbreak, exiting the game momentarily. Coach Flip Saunders doesn't know if Rubio will play tonight, the second game of a back-to-back. If they decided to excuse him during back-to-backs the rest of the season, he'll miss eight games including three during the default head-to-head fantasy playoffs (Week 21-23).

Zach Randolph had an off night against Thaddeus Young, attempting just seven shots in 29 minutes. He didn't reach 10 points for the first time since December 19th and failed to secure an offensive rebound for the first time since November 13th. It's simply an outlier, nothing to concern yourself with unless similar outings follow.

Anthony Davis gets buried all the way down here. But as hologram Babe Ruth once said, heroes get remembered but legends never die. Since Jrue Holiday's injury, Davis is attempting 19.8 shots per game, up from 16.7, and his usage rate climbed from 26.1 percent to 29.5 percent with Tyreke Evans at the helm. I'm not blaming Holiday, but the Pelicans are 9-4 in his absence. In case you missed it, Davis murdered the Thunder with 41 points (15-23 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 44 minutes. Then he hit the game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, his first threeball since March 3rd, 2014.

Trey Burke failed to score in double figures for the first time in eight games, but he somehow blocked a team-high two shots. After watching the tape, two swats on Isaiah Thomas seems just. Burke, barely reaching 6'0", now has more blocks (11) this season than Wesley Matthews, Victor Oladipo, Trevor Ariza, Arron Afflalo, DeMarre Carroll, Andre Iguodala, and Kevin Garnett. I've seen it all, I tell ya.

Tyler Johnson, member of the Heat, faded away for two games before coming correct with a team-high 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting in 25 minutes. His second 10-day contract expires today. Dwyane Wade (hamstring) could return post-All-Star break, diminishing Johnson's value. Like I wrote last time, if Johnson earns a contract, the team is either done with Norris Cole or they know Wade could be out longer than February.
