Wesley Matthews misses practice Friday

Wesley Matthews missed practice Friday after returning from a hip injury Thursday night.

Matthews was impressive Thursday with 20 points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and four 3-pointers. This could be just a maintenance day or the Blazers giving him a day off so as not to over-tax Matthews' hip. We'll leave him as active for now, but check back to see if his status for Saturday changes. Nolan Smith (illness), who would get a few extra minutes if Matthews sat, also missed practice Friday.

Kevin Love torches Pistons for 26-16-7

Kevin Love returned from his personal absence to hit 6-of-15 shots, 10-of-10 free throws and four 3-pointers on his way to 26 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists in a blowout win over the Pistons.

This was Love's sixth game of the season in which he racked up at least 25 points and 15 rebounds, while the rest of the league has done so just 10 times combined. He missed Saturday's game for his grandmother's funeral, but outside of that DNP, there's been very little not to love about his game this season.

Paul Pierce returns, struggles vs. Celtics

Paul Pierce returned from a broken hand on Tuesday after missing just four games, but missed all three of his shots, finishing with four points, seven rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes off the Nets bench.

Jason Kidd said after the game that he might keep Pierce coming off the bench as the leader of the second unit, but it remains to be seen if he's serious. Pierce came in averaging just 12 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists on the season, and most of those numbers are going down after this one. It was nice to see him come back so soon after the injury, but he has yet to do much to impress us this season, and a bench role isn't going to help his cause. And the fact he couldn't do more against his former team is also a concern.

Deron Williams has season-high 25 in return

Deron Williams finally returned from an ankle injury and exploded for a season-high 25 points, three rebounds, seven assists and a 3-pointer on 10-of-16 shooting in a whopping 37 minutes on Tuesday.

He had missed nine straight games so don't beat yourself up if he was on your bench this week. Watch for updates throughout the week to make sure he doesn't aggravate the injury. This was the first time all season he broke the 20-point mark, and owners can only hope this is the start of a big run for the disappointing point guard.

Roy Hibbert scores 24 points in win over MIA

Roy Hibbert terrorized the Heat's interior defense in Tuesday's 90-84 victory over the Heat with 24 points on 10-of-15 shooting to go with five boards and one block in 37 minutes.

He tied his season high in minutes and it's not a surprise after Hibbert's outstanding series against the Heat last year with his 22.1 points per game in the Eastern Conference Finals. He's spent a lot of time working on his offensive game and it showed tonight with several pretty moves in the low post. He turns 27 on Wednesday and should be considered as the frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year on the league's best defense.

Joakim Noah will travel to NY for Wed. game

Joakim Noah (thigh) said he will travel with the team for Wednesday's game at Madison Square Garden.

Coach Tom Thibodeau revealed Noah's injury happened "three or four games ago" and the center has been playing through it. Noah added he aggravated the injury in Tuesday's shootaround. He should be considered questionable for the game and there should be a some updates throughout the day on Wednesday for the 8:00 EST start time.

Kyrie Irving torches Knicks for 37 points

Kyrie Irving lit up the Knicks for 37 points and four 3-pointers on 14-of-23 shooting in Tuesday's easy win.

He also had 11 assists and a steal, and remains one of the league's top point guards, despite some inconsistency this season. After somehow failing to score on Friday, he's scored 20 and 37 points in his next two games, meaning he should never be benched in fantasy.

Khris Middleton (ankle) probable to start Tue

Khris Middleton sat out shootaround with an ankle injury but he's expected to be in the starting lineup on Tuesday.

This comes out of nowhere shortly before tip-off, but the good news is that it sounds like he'll still be active. If he is forced to sit out, Milwaukee will only have nine healthy players in uniform.

Joakim Noah (thigh) won't play Tuesday

Joakim Noah (right thigh bruise) will not play in Tuesday's game vs. the Bucks.

Taj Gibson remains a must-start player in his absence, while Carlos Boozer will take on a bigger role and Nazr Mohammad should step into the starting lineup at center. Noah's sudden injury leaves him day-to-day, and he won't have much time to recover before the second game of Chicago's back-to-back set in New York on Wednesday.

Paul Pierce (hand) to play off bench Tuesday

Paul Pierce (hand) will return to action on Tuesday in a bench role, according to Jason Kidd.

This is great news for the Nets as they attempt to start a winning streak by defeating the visiting Celtics, but fantasy owners should take a cautious approach to Pierce's return. He was averaging 12.4 points on 36.8 percent shooting in 29 minutes per game before the injury, and may be somewhat limited in his first game back. It shouldn't take him long to regain the starting SF job from Alan Anderson.

Rodney Stuckey (knee) won't play vs. Wolves

Rodney Stuckey (knee tendinitis) will not play on Tuesday vs. the Wolves.

He said earlier that he felt good enough to suit up, but his knee may not have reacted well to recent workouts. The good news for Detroit is that Chauncey Billups (knee) is finally ready to rejoin the second unit, and Stuckey remains day-to-day.

Dwyane Wade (knee) will suit up vs. Pacers

Dwyane Wade (knee) has decided to play vs. the Pacers on Tuesday after a strenuous pregame workout.

Wade has played well when he's been on the court this season, averaging 18.5 points and 5.3 assists, so owners should feel comfortable getting him into all active lineups. The Heat have three days off after Tuesday's game and they don't have a back-to-back set until December 27/28.
