Brook Lopez (foot) has MRI, still day-to-day

Brook Lopez (mid-foot sprain) had an MRI exam on his foot, and he remains listed as day-to-day.

The MRI was negative. The Nets will treat Lopez with kid gloves after his foot and ankle issues last season, and while mid-foot sprains can be tricky, it's good news that both the MRI and initial X-rays came up negative. Lopez is almost certain to sit out on Tuesday, and for now, we're listing him as day-to-day beyond that. Owners should hold tight and keep Lopez on the bench, while Andray Blatche, who has averaged 17.0 points and 8.5 rebounds as a starter, will continue to fill in for him.

Tobias Harris limited at practice due to knee

Tobias Harris (knee) was limited at practice on Tuesday, but he is expected to play against the Suns on Wednesday.

Harris collided with Victor Oladipo during Sunday's game vs. the Hornets, but he remained in the game and ended up playing 34 minutes. Harris may not be 100 percent, but he will continue to be a must-start option in all leagues as long as he is active.

Monta Ellis expected to opt out this summer

Monta Ellis will reportedly opt out of his contract this summer in order to pursue a multi-year deal in free agency.

He is boasting averages of 19.4 points, 4.4 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.9 steals and 1.2 3-pointers per game this season and is one of the most durable players in the league, so Ellis will surely generate a ton of interest around the NBA this summer. The Mavericks will surely do everything they can to keep Ellis in Dallas, as he has arguably surpassed Dirk Nowitzki as the team's best player this season.

Kevin Love (illness) good to go on Wednesday

Kevin Love had to receive an IV after Tuesday's game vs. the Celtics and said that he may have food poisoning, but he will play against the Raptors on Wednesday.

It clearly doesn't sound like Love is 100 percent, but his owners can safely keep him in all active lineups today in a huge matchup with Toronto. Love scored just 12 points with eight boards in a blowout victory over the Celtics on Tuesday, so hopefully he will be a little more involved on offense tonight.

Hawks sign G/F Jarell Eddie to 10-day deal

According to Real GM, the Hawks have signed G/F Jarell Eddie to a 10-day contract on Thursday.

Eddie is a known as a sharpshooter and actually won the 3-point contest in the D-League this season. That being said, he likely isn't going to be in the rotation in Atlanta, meaning owners in deeper leagues can monitor him from the waiver wire for now.

Darren Collison out six weeks after surgery

Darren Collison will miss approximately six weeks after Tuesday's surgery to repair a core muscle, effectively ending his season.

"My gut right now from the standpoint of basketball is it would probably be silly to try to rush him back," coach George Karl said. Ray McCallum has crept into standard-league relevance as the starting PG in Collison's absence, with both Andre Miller and Nik Stauskas playing larger roles off the bench.

Jimmy Butler (elbow) given 3-6 week timetable

The Bulls have given Jimmy Butler (elbow) a 3-6 week timetable for his return, but he's hopeful that he can play before the end of the regular season.

Initial reports suggested a 3-4 week timetable so this is somewhat discouraging, though Butler said on Tuesday that the pain in his elbow is already subsiding. "I'm doing all right," he said. "I'm just trying my best to hurry back, being careful, of course ... My ligament just has to heal, and I've got to be able to move my left arm like I move my right before I can get out there and do anything." With no firm return date and the fantasy playoffs looming, Butler is only worth stashing if you're confident your team can succeed without his production until at least late March.

Khris Middleton fills up boxscore vs. Nuggets

Khris Middleton shot just 6-of-20 from the field on Tuesday, but still finished with 20 points, three 3-pointers, seven boards, six assists, two steals and one block.

He made all five of his free throws and didn't turn the ball over, putting him a few made shots away from a pure nine-cat gem. Middleton has been one of the nicest surprises this season and his scoring is even more essential with Brandon Knight in Phoenix, so he's poised for steady top-50 value down the stretch.

Ersan Ilyasova scores team-high 21 points

Ersan Ilyasova sank 9-of-15 shots including three 3-pointers vs. Denver, finishing Tuesday's loss with a team-high 21 points.

He added three boards, two assists, one steal and one block with only one turnover in 30 minutes of action, and has come to life since re-entering Jason Kidd's starting lineup. The Bucks have lost momentum since the All-Star break, however, and tonight marked their third consecutive defeat. They'll have a tough time snapping the skid during Wednesday's road game vs. the Warriors.

Ty Lawson double-doubles as DEN snaps skid

Ty Lawson double-doubled with 16 points and 10 assists on Tuesday, adding two 3-pointers, two rebounds and two assists with only one turnover in 31 minutes of action.

Nuggets interim coach Melvin Hunt's tenure began with a victory vs. a solid Bucks team, and Brian Shaw's departure shouldn't hurt Lawson's value going forward. Lawson has been a solid second-round fantasy PG over the past month and he's likely to stay there as long as he's healthy. Lock him into your lineups and enjoy the show.

Nuggets win in coach Melvin Hunt's debut

The Nuggets snapped their losing streak with a win vs. the Bucks on Tuesday, led by Danilo Gallinari's game-high 26 points, four 3-pointers, seven rebounds, one steal and one block.

Gallo's re-emergence is one of the best stories in recent weeks. Since the All-Star break he's averaging 17.0 points, 2.8 threes, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals as a go-to scorer for the Nuggets, and he should be owned in all fantasy leagues despite his very real injury risk. Gallo even scored efficiently for once, hitting 8-of-16 field goals and 6-of-6 free throws in the much-needed home victory.
Mar 3 - 11:47 PM
Kenneth Faried double-doubles w/ two blocks

Kenneth Faried started again on Tuesday, posting 14 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks in 32 minutes under new coach Melvin Hunt.

This marks the first time Faried has played 30+ minutes or had a double-double since early February. He never found a sustained rhythm under Brian Shaw so the coaching shake-up could be the moment his fantasy owners have been waiting for all season. With any luck the Manimal will be unleashed over Denver's final 23 games.
