Davis (groin) out for precautionary reasons

Coach Monty Williams confirmed that Anthony Davis' absence due to a groin injury was precautionary prior to Friday's game.

"He responded to treatment, but (head trainer) Jon Ishop didn't like the way he looked before the game," said Williams. "We're just going to make sure he's right. We have a lot of days before our next game, so we don't want to chance him hurting himself." Injuries have not been a strong suit of the Hornets organization, as Williams regularly did not know his players' injury status last year, but we're not going to sound the alarm until we see much more proof that it's necessary.

Luol Deng a game-time decision Saturday

Luol Deng (calf) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Detroit.

Deng missed the morning shootaround with some stiffness in his left calf. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Deng sit out today to make sure he is rested for the upcoming stretch of four games in five days starting on Tuesday. Deng has scored 20 or more points in six straight games.

Deron Williams out for Saturday's game

Deron Williams (ankle) will not play on Saturday against Milwaukee.

Williams is trying to return on Tuesday against the Celtics. He has missed the last eight games, during which time Tyshawn Taylor and Shaun Livingston have held down the PG spot.

Dwyane Wade active in Saturday shootaround

Dwyane Wade (illness) participated in the team shootaround on Saturday.

Wade was active in the shootaround and this would seem to indicate he will play tonight against the Timberwolves, but he remains a game-time decision.

Aldridge, Blazers roll over helpless Jazz

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting with 15 rebounds, four assists and two steals in the Blazers' ridiculous 130-98 win over the Jazz.

The Blazers hit 74 percent of their 3-point attempts and Ty Corbin's Jazz were getting openly laughed at by beat writers for hits like 'cover Aldridge with Jeremy Evans' and 'dude where's the 3-point shooter.' It's hard to assign value to a game like this, so we'll just let you know that Wesley Matthews hit 8-of-11 shots for 24 points with four treys, Damian Lillard scored 21 points with five treys and six assists, Robin Lopez had just eight and five, and Nic Batum scored 13 points with three triples, seven boards, three assists and a steal in the win.

McLemore scores 20 points with four treys

Ben McLemore scored 20 points on 8-of-17 shooting (including four threes) with six rebounds, one assist and two steals in the Kings' 106-100 loss to the Lakers on Friday.

McLemore's physical skills are readily apparent and even in this solid outing he looked like a rookie, playing too fast and rushing things (like his jumper) that shouldn't be rushed. His current value is depressed by sub-40 percent shooting over the last week or so, but he is easily a 14-team value in that span and with an organizational mandate to play him heavy down the stretch there's a lot to like as a stash here. He'll improve the shooting and production along the way.

Gasol walking gingerly after Friday's game

Pau Gasol (ankle) scored 19 points on 6-of-15 shooting (7-of-7 FTs) with seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in Friday's win over the Kings.

Gasol was "walking gingerly" after the game and though he may need to take a break at some point, there will be a lot of attention on Sunday's game and that reason alone may make him more apt to play through pain. We're marking him questionable until we get confirmation that he will play.

Tucker follows up big night with 18 & 13

P.J. Tucker followed up his solid Wednesday night with 18 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, two triples and a steal over 38 minutes in the Suns' 106-97 win over the Raptors on Friday.

Tucker hit 4-of-12 shots from the field and 8-of-10 from the foul line and he's officially a must-own player in 12-team formats after flashing some upside over the past two games. The Suns are increasingly excited about his role as a lockdown defender and the fact that he is adding offense is icing on the cake. He has top 110-115 value on the year in standard leagues and that didn't include many lines like his last two.

Markieff Morris posts 25 and 11 vs. Raps

Markieff Morris hit a career-high 11 field goals in Friday's win, finishing with 25 points and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes off the bench.

Morris only missed three shots from the field and on the flip side he had five turnovers and no steals or blocks, but on the whole he needed to remind owners of his upside and he did that tonight. Go run and pick him up if the top-100 value was dropped.

Amir Johnson scores season-high 22 points

Amir Johnson scored a season-high 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting with seven rebounds and three blocks in 33 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Tyler Hansbrough will be seen on Saturday for his shoulder issue and that alone makes Johnson a must-own player, but it's worth noting that Johnson actually told Dwane Casey that he wanted to come off the bench when the decision was ultimately made. He's been great in that role lately and especially with Hansbrough's immediate future in question he should be in all lineups.

Kevin Durant fills stat sheet in win at NO

Kevin Durant filled the stat sheet in Friday's 109-95 win over the Pelicans with 29 points, eight boards, four assists, two steals, three blocks and two 3-pointers on 11-of-17 from the field.

He made all five attempts from the charity stripe to make this an eight-category line. Durant is on his game over his last five with averages of 29.2 points, 9.8 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals, 2.4 blocks and 1.4 triples on 49 percent from the field and 90 percent from the line. In case you forgot, he's fantasy basketball's best player.

Bynum posts 20 and 13 in loss to Atlanta

Andrew Bynum scored 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting (2-of-7 FTs) with 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes on Friday against the Hawks.

While the starting backcourt imploded around him tonight, Bynum was able to get his as he enjoys pretty heavy usage when he's on the floor and that may be part of the problem for the Cavs as they suffered another embarrassing loss. It's hard to blame them, though, since Bynum is a liability on the floor if he's not putting the screws into opposing defenses. He's playing well enough to be in all lineups until further notice.
