     Jason Thompson-F/C-KingsFeb. 10 - 3:31 am et
    Jason Thompson had 12 points, 11 boards, a steal and two blocks in 34 minutes on Tuesday.
    Maybe Paul Westphal is ready to give Thompson another chance. Spencer Hawes saw just five minutes last night, which contributed to Thompson's solid numbers, but JT is too good a player to be floating on waiver wires for too long. That said, we trust Westphal about as far as we can throw Don Nelson.

     Jamal Crawford-G-HawksFeb. 10 - 1:37 am et
    Jamal Crawford got hot late, hitting four of his five 3-pointers, and scoring 14 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Hawks to their third straight win on Tuesday.
    He helped make up for Joe Johnson's bout with the flu and is clearly the leading candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year award. The Hawks, who had lost three straight on the road, now have a three-game winning streak.
     Jared Jeffries-G/F-KnicksFeb. 10 - 1:34 am et
    Jared Jeffries left Tuesday's game briefly after taking a hard fall, but returned to notch 13 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and one block in 41 minutes.
    Jeffries even had two assists and two 3-pointers, rounding out another worthwhile fantasy line. He's deceptively valuable in roto formats, largely because he's been averaging about 34 minutes per game.
     Chris Douglas-Roberts-G/F-NetsFeb. 10 - 1:11 am et
    Chris Douglas-Roberts picked up a DNP-CD on Tuesday, and it doesn't sound like it was because of his recent back spasms.
    Nets coach Kiki Vandeweghe said he wanted to look at other players. "You get surprised a lot in the league," said CDR. "Things don’t work out all the time. I guess I’m out of the rotation." He said he won't talk to Vandeweghe about it, because he's talked to him before without results. His name has cropped up in recent trade rumors, and that's probably the only way he'll have fantasy value again this season.
     Marcus Camby-F/C-ClippersFeb. 10 - 1:09 am et
    Marcus Camby posted a typically well-rounded line on Tuesday -- nine points, 15 rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and just one turnover in 35 minutes.
    The Clippers rotations haven't really changed under new coach Kim Hughes, but Camby's outlook could change overnight if he's traded before the Feb. 18 deadline. That decision reportedly depends on whether the Clippers can make the playoffs, which realistically they can't -- they're currently the 12th seed, 7.5 games behind the 8th seed Trail Blazers.
     Mehmet Okur-F/C-JazzFeb. 10 - 1:08 am et
    Jazz center Mehmet Okur had eight points (2-of-8 FGs), four rebounds and one block in 31 minutes on Tuesday.
    After scoring 28 points last Wednesday, Okur has followed up with two straight single-digit performances. So much for his gaining some momentum headed into the break.
     Paul Millsap-F-JazzFeb. 10 - 1:07 am et
    Paul Millsap had just eight points, four rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes off Utah's bench on Tuesday.
    This is the inevitable dropoff that Millsap's owners had to face when Carlos Boozer returned. The possibility of a trade seems to dwindle with every game the Jazz win, rendering Millsap little more than a tantalizing low-end forward in fantasyland.
