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.

Greg Oden starting vs. Dwight Howard on Sun.

Greg Oden will start at center vs. the Rockets on Sunday.

The move will push Shane Battier to the bench. Oden going up against Dwight Howard doesn't seem right and the Heat won't be giving him many minutes today. He'll join Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh in the starting lineup.

Andre Drummond's neck injury is not serious

The neck injury Andre Drummond sustained on Saturday night is not considered serious.

Drummond was going for a loose ball when his head got caught on Roy Hibbert's thigh. He said the blow sent a shock through his whole body and he appeared to be in severe pain as he was taken to the local hospital for tests. Thankfully, everything came back negative and Drummond. returned to the locker room with a neck brace on. We'll consider him day-to-day, but there's certainly a possibility he misses time. Drummond missed 22 games with back issues last year and the Pistons need to lose games in order to avoid losing their first-round pick to the Bobcats.

Joakim Noah flirts w/ trip-dub: 23-11-8

Joakim Noah flirted with another triple-double on Saturday, torching DeMarcus Cousins for 23 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and five blocks on 9-of-15 shooting.

He's absolutely on fire right now and is a triple-double threat every time out. To put it bluntly, he's the best fantasy center in the league this season and is officially in the conversation for MVP.

Greg Monroe goes for 17 & 13 w/o Drummond

Greg Monroe had 17 points, 13 rebounds, three steals and three blocks in Saturday's loss to the Pacers.

Andre Drummond left this one with a potentially serious neck injury and Monroe will see a big boost if he's going to miss time. While it's never cool to root for injuries in fantasy, owners of Monroe certainly won't complain if Drummond's going to miss some games.

Andrew Bynum takes 18 shots for Pacers

Andrew Bynum played 20 minutes and hit 6-of-18 shots for 15 points, nine rebounds and a block in Saturday's win.

Wow. Bynum was firing at will tonight and while there's plenty to be excited about after two games with the Pacers, it's important to note that they're going to rest him often to keep him ready for the playoffs. Consider him day-to-day for the rest of the season and start him at your own risk, paying close attention to our news page to find out when he'll be in or out of the lineup. He took Friday off, but looked good on Saturday, despite the poor shooting.

Paul George scores 30 in OT win

Paul George hit 9-of-19 shots, two 3-pointers and 10-of-10 free throws for 30 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals in Saturday's overtime win against the Pistons.

The Pacers made a huge comeback in this one and were able to make up the 20-plus point deficit largely in part to the play of George, as well as Evan Turner (20 points). George hit just 2-of-10 3-pointers, but given his recent struggles, tonight's 30-point explosion was welcomed news for his owners.

Drew Gooden blows up for 21 points, 9 boards

Drew Gooden came off the bench and hit 8-of-11 shots and a 3-pointer on his way to a season-high 21 points, nine rebounds and a block in Saturday's win over the Nets.

This came out of nowhere and it was his first 20-point performance since 2012. Gooden has been coming on a bit and may have fully arrived on Saturday. We profiled him in this week's Waiver Wired column and Gooden looks like an interesting waiver-wire grab if you have a player you've been wanting to drop. But he also played just 15 minutes on Friday, so this could easily just be a one-hit wonder for Gooden. Trevor Booker is going to take a hit if Gooden can find a way to keep it going.

Marcus Thornton hits five 3-pointers in loss

Marcus Thornton continued his up-and-down ways on Saturday, hitting five 3-pointers and 7-of-11 shots off the bench for 19 points, three rebounds and one assist in a loss to Washington.

Looking at Thornton's game log will make you dizzy, but if you throw him into your lineup on the right night, he can be a difference maker. The problem is you might have better luck playing the lottery than figuring out on which night he'll choose to get hot.

Bradley Beal (ankle) starting on Saturday

Bradley Beal (sprained ankle) will start Saturday's game vs. the Nets.

This is somewhat remarkable after he was carried off the court by teammates on Friday, and in addition to the sprained ankle he's dealing with a stiff back. Owners might as well keep him plugged into active lineups while hoping that he doesn't aggravate his injuries.

Russell Westbrook to miss some back-to-backs

Scott Brooks said that Russell Westbrook will sit out during some of the Thunder's upcoming back-to-back sets.

OKC has six back-to-backs remaining in the regular season, creating a potential minefield of DNPs, and Brooks hasn't yet said which games WB will miss. The next six games are all comprised of back-to-backs: March 16/17, 20/21 and 24/25, so owners should keep a close watch for updates. Whenever Westbrook does sit out, Reggie Jackson should immediately get a bump in playing time and production.

Hawes goes for 22 and 13 in win over GSW

Spencer Hawes scored 22 points on 8-of-18 shooting with 13 rebounds, one steal and one block in Friday's road win over the Warriors.

Hawes came into the game with a mild ankle issue and obviously it wasn't a problem tonight. He has fit the Cavs' scheme very well and has been a top-40 value over the last month.
