 Keith Bogans-G/F- Spurs Jan. 9 - 1:02 am et

Keith Bogans returned from a sprained ankle and started for the Magic, but hit just 1-of-5 shots for three points.
It may take Bogans a few games to get back in the flow but he is a borderline fantasy starter in deep leagues.
 Carlos Arroyo-G- Heat Jan. 9 - 1:00 am et

Carlos Arroyo started again on Tuesday, but scored just two points in 16 minutes.
Jameer Nelson got 30-plus minutes and played fairly well, and could be on his way back to the starting lineup. Picking up Arroyo last week was worth a shot, but it's not paying off. Arroyo is a good player to think about cutting to pick up another free agent.

 Malik Allen-F- Nuggets Jan. 9 - 12:19 am et

Malik Allen played through a back injury on Tuesday and scored two points.
He has no fantasy value, even when healthy.
 Jamaal Magloire-C- Heat Jan. 9 - 12:18 am et

Jamaal Magloire returned from a personal absence on Tuesday and failed to score in one minute of action on Tuesday.
As long as Josh Boone and Sean Williams are starting, Magloire has no value.
 Sasha Vujacic-G- Lakers Jan. 9 - 12:17 am et

Sasha Vujacic reportedly played for .08 seconds on Tuesday in his return from an ankle injury.
Not much of a return, but it sounds like he's close to being healthy again.
 Deron Williams-G- Jazz Jan. 9 - 12:09 am et

Deron Williams had just 10 points and nine assists in 25 minutes Tuesday as the Jazz beat the Pacers 111-89.
Mehmet Okur and Ronnie Brewer each scored just nine points, while Carlos Boozer finished with a season low of four rebounds. The fact of the matter is that the Pacers were so bad tonight the Jazz coasted in the second half. Things should be back to normal in their next one.
 Matt Harpring-G/F- Thunder Jan. 9 - 12:06 am et

Matt Harpring scored a season-high 16 points as the Jazz crushed the Pacers on Tuesday.
Harpring has now hit double figures in four of his last five games, but once Andrei Kirilenko is back, Harpring will take a hit. He hit 6-of-9 shots on the night and added five boards and three assists.
 C.J. Miles-G/F- Jazz Jan. 9 - 12:04 am et

C.J. Miles started again in place of Andrei Kirilenko and had seven points, five boards and two assists in 20 minutes Tuesday.
He is flirting with having some value, but won't be worth owning once Kirilenko gets back.

 Jermaine O'Neal-C- Heat Jan. 9 - 12:03 am et

Jermaine O'Neal had just nine points, four rebounds and two blocks on 4-of-10 shooting in Tuesday's blowout loss to the Jazz.
JO's knees are bothering him again and owners just have to hope he only misses practices and not games. However, after this performance, that may not be a realistic expectation.
 Jamaal Tinsley-G- Grizzlies Jan. 8 - 11:59 pm et

Jamaal Tinsley returned from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury and had 13 points and five assists in a blowout loss to the Jazz on Tuesday.
He hit 5-of-10 shots but committed six turnovers on the night. He was iffy for this game, but if you had him in your lineup, things could certainly be worse.
 Andres Nocioni-G/F- Kings Jan. 8 - 11:53 pm et

Andres Nocioni hit just 3-of-12 shots for seven points Tuesday in another start for injured Luol Deng.
Had Nocioni played well the Bulls might have avoided an embarrassing loss to the Knicks. Deng should be back on Friday, which will likely send Nocioni back to the bench. Nocioni missed yesterday's practice with the flu, which probably contributed to tonight's dismal performance.

 Joe Smith-F/C- Hawks Jan. 8 - 11:51 pm et

Joe Smith's hot streak continued against the Knicks on Tuesday as he finished with 22 points, 12 rebounds and a block on 11-of-19 shooting.
Smith has been a beast lately and will continue to do so for as long as he's healthy. That said, we still get the feeling his knees are eventually going to start causing him problems, especially given the heavy minutes he's been getting over the last month.
 Quentin Richardson-G/F- Heat Jan. 8 - 11:49 pm et

Quentin Richardson started on Tuesday, but scored just five points in 12 minutes on Tuesday.
He was just 1-of-3 from the floor and if Isiah Thomas is going to continue to insist on starting Q-Rich, maybe he'll limit his minutes like he did tonight. David Lee picked up his slack with 11 points and eight rebounds. Jared Jeffries, who was rumored to be starting tonight, was awful. He finished without a point in 19 minutes.
 Stephon Marbury-G- Celtics Jan. 8 - 11:46 pm et

Stephon Marbury hit three 3-pointers on his way to 18 points and added three rebounds, five assists and a steal on 5-of-12 shooting as the Knicks beat the Bulls in Chicago to snap a seven-game losing streak.
Marbury appears to be back and should be owned in all leagues. The soap opera in New York is probably far from over, but for now, Marbury is starting to look like his old self.
 Eddy Curry-C- Knicks Jan. 8 - 11:44 pm et

Eddy Curry, who failed to score against the Bulls in their last meeting, exploded for a season-high 29 points on 11-of-14 shooting as the Knicks snapped a seven-game losing streak with an unlikely win on Tuesday.
Curry was awesome tonight, hitting 7-of-10 free throws and adding eight rebounds and four blocks, also a season high. It's hard to believe, but in his previous 17 games Curry had totaled just four blocks. He's been hot since returning to the starting lineup, averaging 23 points over his last four games, all starts. Maybe he's ready to start doing this every night. If he was dumped in your league and you need a center, he appears to be back.
 Dorell Wright-G/F- Heat Jan. 8 - 11:33 pm et

Dorell Wright was unable to play through his ankle injury on Tuesday.
He could end up having some value when he's healthy again, and it's possible he could play against the Bucks on Wednesday.
 Daequan Cook-G- Heat Jan. 8 - 11:31 pm et

Daequan Cook had 15 points, three boards, two assists and three 3-pointers in Tuesday's loss to Minnesota.
He hit 6-of-10 shots on the night and could end up having some fantasy value, especially if Dwyane Wade goes down with an injury. Keep your eye on him.

 Ricky Davis-G/F- Clippers Jan. 8 - 11:28 pm et

Ricky Davis was not too interested in revenge against his former team, going for just five points on 2-of-5 shooting in a loss to the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
Buckets had been playing very well and was coming off a season-high 24 points on Sunday. Tonight's line has to be considered a huge disappointment. He hit a three, but committed five turnovers and added just one rebound and three assists. Hopefully he bounces back in their next game, as the Heat will try to beat the Bucks tomorrow to avoid losing their ninth straight game.
 Dwyane Wade-G- Heat Jan. 8 - 11:25 pm et

Dwyane Wade had 25 points, five rebounds, seven assists and a steal on 10-of-18 shooting as the Heat lost their eighth straight game, this time to the hapless Timberwolves.
Can things get any worse for the Heat? Maybe. Wade "labored" his way through this game and is clearly not healthy. He also missed a couple clutch free throws in the fourth quarter. While there's a chance he'll play the entire season, it's not looking likely. Savvy owners will look to trade him while he's still putting up lines like this one, although he did commit six turnovers tonight.
 Sebastian Telfair-G- Clippers Jan. 8 - 11:23 pm et

Point guard Sebastian Telfair had 11 points and nine assists in Tuesday's win over the Heat.
He hit just 3-of-10 shots, but all three were from downtown. He's been very inconsistent this season, but could have a little value until Randy Foye returns in the next couple weeks.
