Report: Rasheed Wallace has stress fracture

Rasheed Wallace's mysterious foot injury is actually a stress fracture, a team source told the New York Daily News.

Wallace has missed six games and is currently wearing a walking boot. According to the Daily News, the team is optimistic the injury won't sideline Wallace long term and is aiming for a return sometime after the Knicks' upcoming three-game West Coast swing. Wallace doesn't have a ton a fantasy value, but as long as he's out, Steve Novak and Chris Copeland will see more minutes.

Jamal Crawford plays 10 minutes in return

Jamal Crawford returned from his calf injury on Saturday and missed both his shots, finishing with three points in 10 minutes.

Baby steps, right? Crawford is back in action for the Clippers and he didn't tweak anything on Saturday night, so he should be better than this going forward. He's going to eventually crush the value of Darren Collison, but he didn't see many minutes tonight and could take a few game to ramp up his minutes. If you own Crawford, you have to think about putting him back in your lineup for next week, when the Clippers play four times.

Trevor Ariza scores 28 points on 12 shots

Trevor Ariza shot 9-of-12 from the field for 28 points against the Bucks on Saturday with seven boards, two assists and five 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

He's so hot right now. Ariza's made an astonishing 67.7 percent of his makes from downtown in his four March games, which is good for 5.2 treys per game and an effective field goal percentage of 81.9. He has first-round value on the season in standard leagues and nobody will be sleeping on him next year.

Tony Parker drops 30 in win over Magic

Tony Parker took advantage of the Magic, who were without Victor Oladipo, and had a season-high 30 points, five assists and a 3-pointers on 11-of-19 shooting in Saturday's win.

He was also going against Jameer Nelson, who was coming off an illness, and simply dominated tonight's game. He's been great since returning from overall soreness, averaging 19.0 points and 5.3 assists on 51 percent shooting in four games.

Tobias Harris scores 23 off bench for ORL

Tobias Harris came off the bench behind Kyle O'Quinn on Saturday and hit 11-of-16 shots for 23 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in a loss to the Spurs.

He should move back into the starting five soon, but even coming off the bench tonight, the minutes were right where owners need them to be. He's been hot since Glen Davis left for the Clippers, and is a must-start in most formats.

Kyrie Irving scores 30, flirts with trip-dub

Kyrie Irving flirted with a triple-double against the Knicks on Saturday with 30 points, eight boards, eight assists, two steals and three 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

Irving's assist totals were falling off before tonight's game and he averaged just 4.3 per game over his previous three. However, he handed out 7.2 per game back in February, which is his second-highest monthly average of his career. It usually takes franchise point guards a few years to understand sharing the ball and Irving seems like he's just about there as he gets to the home stretch of his third year.

Spencer Hawes fills the stat sheet, scores 21

Spencer Hawes stuffed the stat sheet against the Knicks on Saturday with 21 points, 10 boards, three assists, one steal, three blocks and four 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

It was his best game with the Cavs based on points and triples while also matching his best for blocks and steals. Hawes hasn't really helped the team win many games with their record of 2-7 since his arrival, but he's done a great job of putting up some stats. Anderson Varejao is going to take a while to get his legs back, so Hawes will be a must-start player for the foreseeable future.
Mar 8 - 10:52 PM
Tony Wroten blows up for 30 points in loss

Tony Wroten got hot and hit 12-of-15 shots for 30 points, one assist and four steals off the bench on Saturday.

Wroten is hot again, despite coming off the bench, averaging 16.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.8 steals on 47 percent shooting over his last five games. However, he's gone cold from downtown, hitting just 1-of-9 3-pointers over that stretch.
Mar 8 - 10:32 PM
Derrick Favors back to life on Saturday

Derrick Favors played 35 minutes and hit 6-of-9 shots for 15 points, 14 rebounds, a steal and three blocks in Saturday's win over the Sixers.

Favors has been a fantasy disaster recently, but finally got back in a groove tonight. Enes Kanter came off the bench for 13 points and 10 rebounds in 28 minutes, but Favors was still able to produce. This was his first double-double in four games and the 35 minutes were the most he's played since way back on Jan. 13. Maybe this is a sign that he'll be ready to help his owners with four games next week. He had totaled just 15 points and 22 rebounds over his previous three games, so tonight's line was a huge improvement. And yes, it happened against a non-existent Sixers defense.

Jamal Crawford (calf) expected to play Sat.

Jamal Crawford (calf) is expected to play against the Hawks on Saturday and come off the bench.

He was expected to miss 2-3 games with his strained calf and it sounds like he'll be back after missing three games. The Clippers didn't miss him much and were able to win all three of those games thanks to Darren Collison and Matt Barnes stepping it up. Collison's fantasy value takes a hit here. Fantasy owners might want to leave Crawford on the bench for a game as he gets back in the swing of things.

Anderson Varejao (back) likely to return Sat.

Anderson Varejao (back) is likely to play limited minutes on Saturday.

Varejao may only play one stint as the Cavs' priority is avoiding any setbacks. Mike Brown has already said that he intends to keep Spencer Hawes in the starting lineup, further limiting Varejao's rest-of-season upside, but he should at least provide solid rebounds and a handful of high-percentage points once his conditioning returns.

Kyle O'Quinn to start for Magic on Saturday

Kyle O'Quinn will start alongside Nikola Vucevic on Saturday, as the Magic try to match up with the Spurs.

Beat writer John Denton reports that Tobias Harris will likely shift to the bench with Moe Harkless staying at SF. Keep in mind that Jameer Nelson (illness) is returning to action for Orlando, but Victor Oladipo (ankle) will once again be sidelined. O'Quinn is averaging 8.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.2 steals in just 18 minutes per game over his last five, and he should provide solid plug-and-play value as a temporary starter.
