Brandon Roy out Wednesday, hopeful for Friday

Brandon Roy (knee) has been told to rest his ailing right knee and will not play Wednesday against the Bobcats.

Roy is hopeful he will return Friday against the Warriors, but said he doesn't want to rush and risk overcompensating. The Wolves are incredibly banged up and there should be plenty of available minutes when Roy is healthy, but his chronic issues make it a tough sell. Alexey Shved is worth a close look given the Wolves' lack of shooting guards right now.

Nene, Brad Beal miss Friday's shootaround

Nene (Achilles) and Bradley Beal (leg) did not go through shootaround on Friday and are not expected to play against the Hawks.

He missed Monday's game and Nene could be looking at a multiple-game absence. He admitted that he's been suffering from injuries and the Wizards are probably going to allow him to get healthy. Trevor Booker is coming off a double-double and figures to benefit in the stat sheet on Friday.

Jason Thompson to start, Williams off bench

Jason Thompson will start and Derrick Williams will come off the bench in Friday night's game against the Suns.

While Derrick Williams has been much better, the move makes sense. Thompson can't carry the offensive load and he can just hit the boards while the starters can do most of the work on offense. In other words, the Kings can hide his offensive deficiencies. Meanwhile, Williams could help be the centerpiece with the second unit, plus he will likely get significant minutes in the fourth quarter. Williams has a much higher upside in fantasy and still has nice potential.

Tony Allen (hip) expected to play Friday

Tony Allen (hip) participated in Friday's shootaround and he's expected to return to action vs. the Pelicans.

The Grizzlies are 1-3 in Allen's absence and they're allowing 102.5 points per game, far above than their season average. His return will allow Jerryd Bayless to shift back to his usual spot as the first guard off the bench.

Brook Lopez (ankle) will travel to Detroit

Brook Lopez (ankle) will travel with the Nets for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Coach Jason Kidd said he doesn't know if Lopez will be able to play in Friday night's game. Lopez said he wanted to go back in Thursday's game, but that was a similar situation to the one that occurred before he missed seven games due to a left ankle sprain last month. His owners should be preparing for him to sit while Andray Blatche makes for a great speculative add.

Dwight Howard goes off for 32 and 17 in loss

Dwight Howard had one of his best games of the season on Thursday during a loss to the Blazers with 32 points, 17 boards, one assist, two steals and three blocks in 42 minutes.

He shot 4-of-6 from the line and hasn't been too shabby over his last four games. Howard made a combined 31-of-49 while posting averages of 22.5 points, 18.8 boards, 2.0 steals and 1.8 blocks. This has been his best four-game stretch of the entire season, so maybe he's starting to learn to play in the Houston system.

Report: James Dolan blocks Kyle Lowry deal

Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan vetoed a trade that would have sent Kyle Lowry to the Knicks, sources told the Daily News.

"There are two problems," the source said. "Dolan didn’t like that someone from his group leaked it to the media, and the other problem is the Knicks seem to have too many (people)involved with making decisions." The report adds that the deal is not dead and would "almost assuredly" include Raymond Felton, but the Knicks do want to keep Tim Hardaway Jr., Metta World Peace and Iman Shumpert as possible trading pieces.

LaMarcus Aldridge explodes for 31 and 25

LaMarcus Aldridge was unstoppable against the Rockets on Thursday with 31 points, 25 boards, two assists, two steals and two blocks on 12-of-22 shooting.

He had a career high in rebounds and became the first Blazer to ever have a 30-25 line. Aldridge was up to his usual tricks with nine field goals outside of the paint, making nine from that range. The MVP candidate was on a roll even before this game with averages of 24.0 points, 11.1 boards, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals in his previous 10 games. The Blazers are 19-4 and have a one-game lead in the Western Conference for the top seed.

Andray Blatche scores 21 against Clippers

Andray Blatche scored 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting with nine boards, three assists and one turnover in 28 minutes against the Clippers on Thursday.

Brook Lopez suffered a left ankle injury and there's a very good chance he will miss Friday's game and beyond. Lopez missed seven games with a left ankle sprain last month, meaning the Nets probably will want to proceed with caution. Blatche basically becomes a "run, don't walk" add based on his averages of 16.8 points, 6.3 boards, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks as the starting center.

C.J. McCollum (foot) cleared for 3-on-3 work

C.J. McCollum (foot) has been cleared for 3-on-3 play, according to coach Terry Stotts.

He still doesn't have a timetable to return and the team is no rush to get him on the court based on their 18-4 record. McCollum was the centerpiece of their Las Vegas Summer League team, but Wesley Matthews having a career year along with Mo Williams' improved play should keep the rookie's impact to a minimum. He's only worth stashing in the deepest of leagues.

Jermaine O'Neal will have wrist surgery

Jermaine O'Neal will have arthroscopic surgery on a torn ligament in his right wrist.

It's sad news for a great bench player for the Warriors. O'Neal took on a leadership role with the team despite playing just 18.6 minutes per game and coach Mark Jackson even used him at power forward a bit before going down. There hasn't been an official prognosis, but there was talk of a surgery being season-ending. He can be cut in all leagues. Marreese Speights and Hilton Armstrong picked up most of the minutes at the backup center spot, but neither are deserving of a pickup in really any league. Although, Andrew Bogut's propensity to miss games could be a potential problem.

Knicks, Nets both eyeing trade for Kyle Lowry

The Knicks are reportedly preparing a trade package for Kyle Lowry that would send Raymond Felton, Metta World Peace and a 2018 first-round draft pick to the Raptors.

The Raptors, however, continue to gauge their options with an "ever-growing list of teams," and the "most direct competition" is coming from the Nets. The Knicks are reportedly hesitant to include a first-round pick, but without it the Raptors may be demanding both Tim Hardaway Jr. and Iman Shumpert. Lowry has a reasonable $6.2 million deal which expires this summer and he's been playing well all year, which puts Toronto GM Masai Ujiri in the driver's seat as talks continue.
