 Jason Thompson-F/C- Kings Feb. 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- Hawks Feb. 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- Knicks Feb. 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- Nets Feb. 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- Clippers Feb. 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- Jazz Feb. 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- Jazz Feb. 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.
 Carlos Boozer-F/C- Jazz Feb. 10 - 1:06 am et

Carlos Boozer poured in 34 points (13-of-17 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), 14 rebounds, four assists and four steals in Tuesday's win over the Clippers, Utah's ninth consecutive victory.
The Jazz are red-hot going into the All-Star break, and Boozer hasn't missed a beat since returning from his calf injury. His name is no longer appearing in many trade rumors and it seems like Utah hopes to keep this chemistry going into the postseason.
 Raymond Felton-G- Bobcats Feb. 10 - 12:53 am et

Raymond Felton (twisted right ankle) gutted out 11 points, three rebounds and five assists on Tuesday, including the go-ahead fadeaway jumper with 1.9 seconds left.
"I wasn’t even thinking about my ankle at the time," he said after the game. "But I’m paying for it now." He was limping after the game and should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game at Minnesota.
 Nicolas Batum-G/F- Trail Blazers Feb. 10 - 12:47 am et

Nicolas Batum started at SF for the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, finishing a loss to OKC with 12 points, four rebounds, one steal and one block in 36 minutes.
Batum didn't start the second half but he still wound up logging heavy minutes. He won't bowl you over with his offensive numbers, but he's a consistent contributor and is worth a look if he continues to get 30+ minutes -- it doesn't hurt that Brandon Roy was out and Martell Webster left with a back injury.
 Steve Blake-G- Trail Blazers Feb. 10 - 12:39 am et

Steve Blake left Tuesday's game briefly to get five stitches in his chin, but he returned to finish scoreless with four rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes.
Blake, who shot 0-of-5, actually started the second half over Nicolas Batum. Unfortunately his fantasy value is minimal right now, despite the continued absence of Brandon Roy.
 LaMarcus Aldridge-F/C- Trail Blazers Feb. 10 - 12:36 am et

LaMarcus Aldridge had 15 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, four steals and four turnovers in Tuesday's loss to the visiting Thunder.
The rebounds tied a season-high, the steals were a season-high, and the assists were just a few shy of his season-high. He's averaging better than 22 & 10 in February, as the absence of Brandon Roy has forced him to carry a heavier burden offensively.
 Kevin Durant-G/F- Thunder Feb. 10 - 12:32 am et

Kevin Durant had 33 points, two 3-pointers, 11 rebounds and two steals in Tuesday's road win over the Trail Blazers, marking his 25th consecutive game with at least 25 points scored.
Durant's youth, coupled with his ridiculous skill-set, promise to make him a fantasy darling for years to come. He vaulted past 5,000 career points with this performance, and he's not even through his third full season. He continues to amaze.
 Russell Westbrook-G- Thunder Feb. 10 - 12:31 am et

Russell Westbrook struggled to score on Tuesday (eight points on 2-of-9 shooting) but he did have five rebounds, seven assists and three steals-- and most importantly, his team picked up a road victory.
WB's poor shooting night (which is nothing new for the 40% career shooter) can easily be written off. After all, he was coming off a monster game of 21 points, seven rebounds, 10 assists and a whopping eight steals.
 Andre Miller-G- Trail Blazers Feb. 10 - 12:29 am et

The Trail Blazers fell at home to the Thunder on Tuesday in spite of Andre Miller's solid evening -- 22 points (9-of-18 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one block and four turnovers.
In the four games since his 52 point explosion, Miller had been averaging just 10.3 ppg. His true value lies somewhere between those extremes -- he's averaging just 13.2 points this season, but raised that average to 18.8 during the month of January.
 Dante Cunningham-F- Trail Blazers Feb. 10 - 12:26 am et

Trail Blazers reserve forward Dante Cunningham got hot for a stretch of Tuesday's game and wound up with 14 points, six rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes.
He had exactly one double-digit scoring game prior to this, and we're not reading anything into this fluky performance.
 Lamar Odom-F- Lakers Feb. 10 - 12:14 am et

Lamar Odom intends to play vs. the Jazz on Wednesday despite a sore right foot.
He had a CT scan and MRI on Tuesday, both of which came back negative. He is officially 'probable' and with Andrew Bynum (hip) ruled out we fully expect a big night from Lamar.
 Omri Casspi-F- Kings Feb. 10 - 12:10 am et

Kings forward Omri Casspi started again in Tuesday's OT win against the Knicks in New York. He had 18 points on 7-of-17 shooting, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and zero turnovers.
Fittingly, it was Jewish Heritage Night at MSG. Casspi logged a team-high 45 minutes and his competitive spirit appears to have won over the Kings' coaching staff. As long as he's getting this much burn he'll be a reliable option -- scoop him up if he's still floating on your waiver wire.
 Chris Andersen-F/C- Nuggets Feb. 10 - 12:05 am et

Nuggets big man Chris Andersen posted his second double-double of the season on Tuesday, getting 14 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and one block.
The Birdman got extra run with Kenyon Martin sidelined by knee tendinitis, and remains little more than a blocks specialist in average leagues. On the upside, he didn't seem bothered by his recent knee problem.
 Nene Hilario-F/C- Nuggets Feb. 9 - 11:59 pm et

If Nene was bothered by the strained muscle in his leg, it wasn't evident on Tuesday -- he scored 21 points in 26 minutes, making 8-of-9 FGs and 5-of-6 FTs.
Uber-efficient offensive lines are one of the reasons fantasy owners love Nene. He added eight rebounds, two assists and one steal, and could've had a much bigger night if the score had been remotely close.
