J.R. Smith to start for Knicks vs. Atlanta

J.R. Smith will move into the Knicks' starting lineup on Saturday, joining Pablo Prigioni, Iman Shumpert, Carmelo Anthony and Andrea Bargnani.

Kenyon Martin's absence with a strained abdomen inspired the change, which Mike Woodson hopes will spark Smith's scoring. In three starts this season he's averaging 11.3 points with 2.0 triples, 6.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, but he's also shooting 25 percent from the field.

Update: Garnett (back) a late-scratch Monday

Updating an earlier item, Kevin Garnett (back) will not play on Monday against the Raptors.

This late-breaking note probably won't have too much of an impact on fantasy decisions, but owners looking at Andray Blatche and Mason Plumlee can do so with a tad bit more confidence. Plumlee will get the start tonight but hasn't been able to do much in fantasy leagues this season.

Victor Oladipo (ankle) activated for Monday

Victor Oladipo (ankle) will come off the bench against the Bucks on Monday night.

The Magic sat him down over the last two games to relieve some ankle soreness and he should be fine tonight. Oladipo didn't have anything structurally wrong and it was more of just a wear-and-tear issue. Coach Jacque Vaughn's rotation could be a little messy tonight, but fantasy owners shouldn't be bashful about starting the rookie.

Dwyane Wade will play on Monday night

Dwyane Wade will play against the Wizards on Monday night.

The team said they were going to see how he felt leading up to the second half of a back-to-back tonight, so Wade must be felling fine. It's the first time he's played in both games of a back-to-back set in over two months, but he should see his normal allotment of minutes. Fantasy owners can start him in the divisional game.

Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce will play vs. Raps

Kevin Garnett (back) and Paul Pierce (shoulder) will play against the Raptors on Monday.

It's a big game for the Nets because they would lose the tiebreaker for the division with the Raptors with a loss at home, so coach Jason Kidd will give Garnett a shot. While KG did have a nice shootaround and made plenty of shots, he's still an extremely risky play and is far from a lock to see 20 minutes tonight.

Gerald Henderson (calf) out on Monday night

Gerald Henderson (calf) will not play against the Nuggets on Monday.

This will be his fifth game out of the lineup and he was expected to be re-evaluated today. Henderson should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards. Chris Douglas-Roberts will get the start again and has been very effective over his last four. He's a solid plug-and-play in a plus matchup.

Knicks confirm Tyson Chandler won't play Mon.

Tyson Chandler will not play against the Sixers on Monday due to personal reasons.

He's not with the team and should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics. We'll pass along any details about what's going on with Chandler, but the team will go with Amare Stoudemire, Jeremy Tyler and Cole Aldrich to help fill in tonight.

Anthony Bennett (knee) out for three weeks

An MRI on Monday revealed Anthony Bennett is dealing with a left patellar tendon strain and he will be out for approximately three weeks.

He has been dealing with knee soreness since Late February and the Cavs finally know why. Bennett's minutes have fallen off and he's also lost a step after he was showing at least some shred of potential about a month ago. Fantasy owners can cut him everywhere.

Report: Phil Jackson likely to join Knicks

Phil Jackson is likely to accept the Knicks' offer to join their front office, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard.

"As of right now, it looks like Phil's taking the job," an anonymous source told Broussard. "There's always the possibility of something falling apart at the last minute, but the Knicks' sense is that he's joining them." Jackson has pushed for full decision-making powers in the past and it's probable that he'll have carte blanche to overhaul the Knicks' roster if he does indeed accept the offer -- a final answer is expected within a few days.

Rajon Rondo (knee) not ready for back-to-back

Rajon Rondo (knee) indicated that he's not ready to play in both of the Celtics' back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday.

"A combination of things bother me on my lower part of my body, my calves, my Achilles and then my knee," he said. "The next day [after a game], I need the rest. I'm pretty sore when I wake up. My Achilles bothers me the most when I get out of bed." He delivered 18 assists without a single turnover on Sunday and fantasy owners will have to live with occasional DNPs -- after this week's set the Celtics play back-to-backs on March 16/17 and 30/31, as well as April 4/5 and 11/12.

Eric Bledsoe (knee) could return on Monday

Eric Bledsoe (knee) is targeting a return on Wednesday but "the window is open" for Monday's game if he feels good enough to play.

Bledsoe has been practicing and scrimmaging full-court since March 1, and the Suns' vaunted medical staff seems content with him playing as soon as he feels ready. He'll come off the bench initially but coach Jeff Hornacek said that Bledsoe could eventually retake the starting SG job. "I guess we'll play that one by ear," said Hornacek.

Nerlens Noel (ACL) hopes to debut April 4

Nerlens Noel would like to make his 76ers debut in Boston on April 4, according to beat writer Keith Pompey.

Unnamed sources confirmed that Noel's tweet of "4-4-14" was indeed a reference to a potential return date, but apparently "this is just a wish that [Noel] had not disclosed to the Sixers as of Sunday afternoon." It's hard to imagine Noel telling the world his plans before mentioning them to the team which has overseen his rehab every day for months, but the drama is nearly irrelevant for fantasy owners given that a return on April 4 would leave Noel with a maximum of eight games, and that includes two back-to-back sets.
