Thu Feb 620:47LeBron James Active For Thursday's GameLeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, James is good to go as he continues to play through a lingering ankle injury. The issue isn't impacting him on the court considering he's nearly posting a triple-double every night. Fantasy managers should expect James to continue playing his normal workload during Thursday's game. It's worth noting that James might see his scoring numbers take a hit once Luka Doncic is in the mix.

Thu Feb 620:39Kevin Durant Holds Questionable Tag For FridayKevin DurantSFThunderFree Agent
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Durant appears to be in danger of missing his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. If he sits, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn (ankle), and Grayson Allen would all see bigger workloads if Durant is unable to play. Both O'Neale and Allen are decent streaming choices if Durant or Bradley Beal (toe) are unavailable. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday for another update.

Thu Feb 620:33Bradley Beal Could Miss Friday's GameBradley BealSGWizardsFree Agent
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's unclear where Beal picked up this injury considering he has played in seven straight games. Hopefully, it's only a minor issue that won't cost him any time, but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update. If he sits, Tyus Jones, Royce O'Neale, and Grayson Allen would be asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. Between the trio, O'Neale appears to be offering the most upside in terms of streaming value.

Thu Feb 619:24Jonas Valanciunas Available For Team Debut On ThursdayJonas ValančiūnasCRaptorsFree Agent
Sacramento Kings center Jonas Valanciunasis available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Valanciunas was acquired by the Kings from the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. The assumption is that Valanciunas is going to operate as the primary backup center to Domantas Sabonis. Valanciunas was putting up fairly decent numbers in Washington, but it's unknown what kind of role he'll have in Sacramento. For now, fantasy managers should hold Valanciunas and wait to see what he's able to do with his new team.

Thu Feb 619:16Anthony Davis To Remain Sidelined On ThursdayAnthony DavisPFNO HornetsFree Agent
Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (abdomen) won't make his team debut against the Boston Celtics on Thursday. It seemed unlikely that Davis would be ready to play, so Saturday seems like the target date for his Mavs debut. It'll be interesting to see how the Mavs work out their rotation with Davis, P.J. Washington, and Daniel Gafford all on the court together. Naji Marshall should continue seeing increased playing time until Davis is in the mix. Marshall is worth a look after a 19-point outing on Tuesday, but his fantasy value will quickly be reduced once Davis is playing.

Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official sitereports that Boston Celtics guardJrue Holiday(shoulder) won't play against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Holiday's absence is due to a right shoulder impingement he has been dealing with. The 34-year-old's next chance to return to the floor is on Friday against the New York Knicks. While Holiday is out of action, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard could see their fantasy value boost as their roles could be expanded in the contest this evening

Thu Feb 617:13Jimmy Butler Will Not Make His Warriors Debut ThursdayJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler is expected to join the team in Los Angeles for their game on Thursday against the Lakers, but he is not yet ready to make his debut. The Warriors will be short-handed without him after sending Andrew Wiggins, Lindy Waters III, Kyle Anderson, and Dennis Schroder out in the trade to land Butler. Butler's debut with the Warriors could come Saturday in Chicago, where he used to play for the Bulls, or later on the team's trip against the Bucks, Mavs, or Rockets in the coming week. Without Butler available, Brandin Podziemski, Buddy Hield, and Quinten Post should be in for enough work to be streaming options and DFS bargain plays.

Thu Feb 617:02P.J. Tucker Traded Back To TorontoP.J. TuckerSFSunsFree Agent
The Toronto Raptors acquired forward P.J. Tucker, a second-round pick, and cash from the Miami Heat in exchange for guard Davion Mitchell on Thursday before the trade deadline. Tucker was traded by the Clippers to the Jazz on February 1 then traded to the Heat in the traded that landed Jimmy Butler in Golden State. Tucker was on the move again on Thursday going from one of his former teams to another as the Heat sent him to Toronto. Tucker was originally a second-round pick of the Raptors back in 2006 and also stopped with them during the 2016-17 season. The journeyman has been limited to 15.0 minutes in 28 games this season with the Clippers and has not made meaningful fantasy contributes in several years. He will likely serve as a mentor to the team's young big men and play a few minutes off the bench before becoming a free agent at the end of this season.

Thu Feb 608:59Kelly Olynyk Moves To New OrleansKelly OlynykCCelticsFree Agent
Veteran forward/center Kelly Olynyk has been traded to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Toronto Raptors made a big move for Brandon Ingram, and Olynyk was part of the package they sent out, alongside Bruce Brown, a first-round draft pick, and a second-round draft pick. This marks the second consecutive campaign in which Olynyk has been traded midseason. The Raptors acquired him from the Utah Jazz last February. The 33-year-old enjoyed a good finish to 2023-24 but has only filled a backup role this season, averaging 7.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 16.0 minutes. Olynyk is set to remain a backup in New Orleans behind rookie Yves Missi.

Wed Feb 521:15Jonas Valanciunas Traded To The KingsJonas ValančiūnasCRaptorsFree Agent
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Wizards are trading center Jonas Valanciunas to the Kings in exchange for guard Sidy Cissoko and two second-round picks. Sacramento recently moved De'Aaron Fox to San Antonio and acquired guard Zach LaVine. However, the Kings will add a quality big man to bolster their depth chart. Valanciunas has averaged 13.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists throughout his career. While he's not as efficient on the defensive end, he provides double-double upside and can help take some pressure off Domantas Sabonis. Valanciunas isn't a lock to see consistent minutes with his new team. Still, fantasy managers should monitor him moving forward, especially if he gets some starts at the five moving ahead.

Wed Feb 520:56Draymond Green To Play Versus JazzDraymond GreenPFWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. As expected, Green is cleared to play after being listed as probable coming into this contest. Green missed seven games in a row due to a calf injury before being cleared to play on Monday. He wasn't limited on Monday, so Green should have his full workload on Wednesday. Possibly, Green plays more than normal considering the Warriors just finalized a five-team trade that will shorthand them for this game.

Wed Feb 520:27Jimmy Butler Traded To WarriorsJimmy ButlerSFBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler has been traded to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. It seemed that Butler had burned his bridge to Golden State a few days ago, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Butler will head over to the Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson, and a first-round pick. The Warriors are attempting to go all-in here by adding a superstar in the hopes of possibly getting one more ring before maybe heading into a rebuild. Butler has talked his way off multiple teams, but he is a legitimate difference maker when he's on the court. He hasn't played since late January due to a suspension, but Butler is a top-50 contributor when he's available. Butler also signed a two-year, $121 million extension with the Warriors as part of the trade. It appears Butler is going to be sticking around in Golden State for a few more seasons.

Wed Feb 519:17Paul George Available On WednesdayPaul GeorgeSGPacersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (finger) will suit up versus the Heat on Wednesday night. The veteran has been banged up all season. However, a finger injury has kept him off the floor for Philadelphia's last five contests. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, George could be more productive than usual, although his presence could mean less scoring opportunities for Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will play against the Hornets. The veteran missed his first game of the 2024-25 campaign on Monday versus OKC due to back soreness. But the Bucks also didn't have Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Bobby Portis (personal), and Damian Lillard (groin). However, with Lopez, Antetokounmpo, Portis, and Lillard all available, guys like Chris Livingston, Ryan Rollins, AJ Johnson, and Tyler Smith can be removed from fantasy lineups.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) will play against Charlotte. The former Trail Blazer missed Monday's loss to the Thunder because of a groin injury.

Since his season debut on December 6th, Middleton has struggled after undergoing surgeries on both ankles during the offseason. However, the 33-year-old could be a big part of the Wizards offense and will likely see a boost in fantasy for the rest of the regular season if he remains healthy.

Tue Feb 422:20Damian Lillard May Miss Another Game On WednesdayDamian LillardPGTrail BlazersFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Charlotte. The former Trail Blazer wasn't available for Monday's loss to OKC because of left groin soreness. But the Bucks were extremely shorthanded, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Khris Middleton (ankles), Bobby Portis (personal) and Brook Lopez (back) also sidelined for that one. Luckily, Middleton, Portis, and Lopez are probable for Wednesday night, so they should be more involved offensively if Antetokounmpo and Lillard aren't on the floor versus the Hornets. Fantasy managers may also see expanded production from Gary Trent Jr. and Taurean Prince.

The veteran big man didn't seemed to be limited as he finished with four points, seven rebounds, and five assists in 28 minutes of action.

At this point, fantasy managers know exactly what they're going to get from Green in terms of fantasy production.

Durant may miss a return to his old stomping ground due to a left ankle sprain. The Suns are also reportedly listening to offers for Durant, so he might have played his final game with the team. Bradley Beal should get a larger offensive role if Durant is out on Wednesday night, while Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale may receive more playing time.
