E. Okobo - PG

BKN

Former Suns PG Elie Okobo is signing a contract with the Nets.

The terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed, but it's possible this is just a training camp deal. Okobo has practically no shot at minutes in Brooklyn so this isn't a good spot for his dynasty value. In two seasons with the Suns, Okobo averaged 4.8 points, 2.2 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.6 triples in 15.5 minutes.

Pascal Siakam (groin soreness) did not take part in Thursday's practice.

Siakam, who took a hard fall during Wednesday's loss to the Heat, said after the game that his groin was bothering him. He didn't practice on Thursday, and no decision has been made regarding his availability for Friday's game against the Heat. We'll consider Siakam to be questionable as a result.

C. Zeller - C

CHA

Cody Zeller (fractured left hand) is listed as probable to play in Friday's game against the Bulls.

Zeller has been sidelined since December 23, when he broke his hand in the Hornets' season opener. Getting the veteran center back is a big deal for the Hornets, who lack depth at the position. Zeller's return will mean fewer minutes at the center position for starting power forward P.J. Washington, and fill-in center Bismack Biyombo will drop back to the second unit. Biyombo didn't provide consistent fantasy value as a starter, so this shouldn't change much on that end.

P. Siakam - PF

TOR

Pascal Siakam said after Wednesday's loss to the Heat that he is currently dealing with a nagging groin issue.

The groin trouble hasn't been bad enough to limit Siakam's minutes, as he played 37 Wednesday night. That being said, he hasn't felt 100% recently, and a hard fall taken during the loss didn't help matters. "My groin’s been bothering me for a little bit, so that was definitely unfortunate," Siakam said after the game. Siakam wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game, but this is something to keep an eye on ahead of Friday's rematch. Consider him to be probable for the time being.

D. Gafford - PF

CHI

Daniel Gafford has made a positive impression on Billy Donovan by the way in which he has handled inconsistent playing time, according to NBC Sports Chicago's Rob Schaefer.

Gafford has been in a tough spot this season, as in addition to starter Wendell Carter Jr. the Bulls have also used Lauri Markkanen and Thaddeus Young at the center position. On some nights, especially when Chicago is up against a smaller opponent, that has left the second-year big on the outside looking in. But that hasn't impacted the way in which Gafford has approached his job, which has made an impression on Donovan. "I give him a lot of credit because if there's one guy on our team that's been inconsistent minutes-wise its been him," Donovan said of Gafford after Wednesday's practice. "And it has nothing to do with the way he's playing or not playing as much as it's like, we've got an opportunity to throw Lauri at the 5 (center), this may be a good look against a specific team." With Carter's status for Friday up in the air due to a thigh injury, Gafford could be in line for rotation minutes. That isn't enough to make him a fantasy asset, but his shot-blocking ability makes Gafford a player worth tracking.

J. Wiseman - C

GSW

James Wiseman went 8-of-11 from the field and 4-of-5 from the stripe on his way to 20 points in Wednesday's blowout win over the Spurs.

Wiseman added six rebounds and four assists in his 25 minutes of floor time, and he likely would have had an even better stat line had the game not been a blowout. Some defensive stats would have been nice, but at least he finished the game without a single turnover after committing five over 13 foul-plagued minutes on MLK Day.

K. Oubre - SF

GSW

Kelly Oubre scored 16 points on 4-of-11 shooting (6-of-8 FT) Wednesday, to go with nine rebounds, two triples, two steals and one block over 31 minutes in a blowout win over the Spurs.

Oubre got off to a horrific start this season, but he's starting to find his footing in Golden State, and over the past five games he's been a top-50 producer with averages of 16.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 triples, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks and just 0.6 turnovers per game on 42.2% shooting from the field and 81% from the line. We think he's just scratching the surface right now, so there's still some room to buy-low here.

A. Wiggins - SF

GSW

Andrew Wiggins (knee) scored 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting (1-of-3 FT) Wednesday, to go with three triples, seven rebounds, three assists and one turnover in 31 minutes.

Wiggins was initially listed as questionable heading into today's game with a minor knee issue, but the fact that he played and logged significant minutes in a blowout win tells us there's not much to worry about here. Wiggins is averaging his lowest-scoring numbers (17.8) since his rookie year in Golden State, but he's uncharacteristically getting his points efficiently (52.4 EFG%), while sending away a career-high 1.5 shots per game, which has him flirting with top-75 value if you ignore the free throw shooting (68.8).

S. Curry - PG

GSW

Stephen Curry had a 26-point, 11-rebound double-double in Wednesday's 121-99 win over the Spurs.

Curry got his points efficiently, going 10-of-17 from the field and 2-of-2 from the stripe and he added four triples, seven dimes and four turnovers in his 31 minutes of floor time. As a team, the Dubs handed out another 31 dimes in this one, matching their total from Monday's victory over the Lakers, and they're now 4-0 this season when dishing at least 30 assists. Draymond Green was the second-leading table-setter tonight, and he finished with nine points, six assists, one rebound, one 3-pointer and one turnover in 26 minutes.

K. Johnson - SF

SAS

Keldon Johnson couldn't get his shot to drop on Wednesday, going 2-of-12 from the field for 12 points, eight rebounds, three assists and one turnover in 27 minutes.

While Johnson couldn't get any of his shot attempts to fall through the bucket, he still managed to find a way to be effective, by going 8-of-11 from the charity stripe. The second-year forward got abused with the Kelly Oubre treatment tonight, but we'd anticipate a bit of a bounce-back performance on Friday vs. Dallas.

L. Walker - SG

SAS

Lonnie Walker went just 1-of-6 from the field on Wednesday for one 3-pointer, three rebounds and one turnover in a blowout loss to the Warriors.

Walker hurt the thumb on his left (non-shooting) hand back on Jan. 14, and he's been awful ever since, with three straight single-digit scoring performances. Over that three-game stretch, Walker has been connecting on just 23.8% of his shot attempts to go with averages of 5.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and not much else in 27.1 minutes a night. He belongs on the waiver wire in most leagues.

D. Murray - PG

SAS

Dejounte Murray scored 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting Wednesday, to go with six rebounds, three assists, one 3-pointer and two steals over 30 minutes in a blowout loss to the Warriors.

Murray was a perfect 3-of-3 from the charity stripe in this one, and he also finished the game without committing a single turnover. DeMar DeRozan went 3-of-8 from the floor and 9-of-9 from the line on his way to 15 points, two rebounds, three assists, one steal and two turnovers across 25 minutes in the 22-point loss.

L. Aldridge - C

SAS

LaMarcus Aldridge was held to just four points on 2-of-8 shooting in Wednesday's blowout loss to the Warriors, adding three rebounds and one block over 23 minutes.

Aldridge came alive for 22 points in Monday's MLK Day win over Portland, but he found himself back in the gutter tonight with another single-digit performance. On Monday, he got a majority of his shots in the midrange, but today he reverted to his long-range ways while failing to connect on a single 3-pointer. He's now shooting just 25% on a career-high 3.7 attempts from distance, and while he's converting on 50% of his midrange attempts, those shots make up a career-low 14.3% of his total shot attempts. Something needs to change.
