Marcin Gortat

C, Washington Wizards

Marcin Gortat highlighted that he's happy in D.C. and would like to stay with the Wizards but is aware that his name has been on the trade block before.

Gortat's fantasy value has slowly been slipping and it might be better for the Wizards if they could unload Gortat's expiring deal for a more athletic big who can run with John Wall.

Rajon Rondo

PG, Los Angeles Lakers

Rajon Rondo (left hamstring strain) is now probable to face the Heat on Friday.

Rondo's return to the lineup will have a negative effect on Alex Caruso. The veteran was playing well before this latest injury and can be looked at as an option for assists.

Kyle Kuzma

PF, Los Angeles Lakers

Kyle Kuzma (left ankle sprain) will not play on Friday.

Fantasy GMs will need to find someone else to provide top-300 value tonight — seriously, he's a top-260/290 player (8/9-cat) and should not be as widely rostered as he is.

Nikola Jokic

C, Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets to a 114-99 win on Thursday with 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting with 11 rebounds, six assists and two 3-pointers.

Jokic hasn't gone into full Joker mode yet, but tonight is about what you'd expect and want from him. There might still be some impatient owners looking for those juicy triple-doubles and high scoring numbers so a buy-low may be in the cards still.

Jamal Murray

PG, Denver Nuggets

Jamal Murray logged 28 minutes on Thursday, scoring 12 points on 4-of-11 shooting while adding six rebounds, three assists, a steal and two 3-pointers.

Murray was dealing with the funnily named "trunk contusion" but came back and delivered against the Blazers tonight. Deploy him in all of your lineups. Will Barton logged 35 minutes, scoring 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting while adding 11 rebounds, four assists, a steal and two 3-pointers and continues to be one of the most consistent scorers on the Nuggets.

Paul Millsap

PF, Denver Nuggets

Paul Millsap scored six points 3-of-7 shooting while adding five rebounds and a block on Thursday.

Millsap was dealing with a foot injury and Jerami Grant (20 points, five rebounds, two steals and five triples in 31 minutes) was having a great game so Millsap took extra rest.

Gary Harris

SG, Denver Nuggets

Gary Harris scored 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting with one rebound, two assists and three triples on Thursday.

Harris is starting to heat up, but we've seen this before this year so there's some skepticism about his season-long value. Feel free to ride him out while he's hot though.

Hassan Whiteside

C, Portland Trail Blazers

Hassan Whiteside hosted another block party, swatting four shots to go with his 33 points on 15-of-21 shooting with 11 boards, two assists and a triple on Thursday.

Whiteside continues to throw up some huge numbers and the situation is just perfect for him. He'll continue to post huge numbers as long as he's healthy and his 12.5 boards and 2.4 blocks a game are propelling him inside the top-10 on the year.

Damian Lillard

PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard struggled shooting in Thursday's outing vs. the Nuggets, scoring 13 points on 5-of-16 shooting while adding two rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and two triples.

Lillard only scored five points in the first half, but had a game-high in assists. Teams continue to send doubles and play over on screens against Lillard as he's one of the few threats on offense for the Blazers. He's still a first-round value play.

Kent Bazemore

SG, Portland Trail Blazers

Kent Bazemore scored nine points on 3-of-7 shooting with three boards, two assists and a 3-pointer on Thursday.

Bazemore won't be the sexiest play, but the Blazers are really hurting and they need him to play big minutes. Anfernee Simons (22 minutes, nine points, one assist and one steal) will also get some extended run with Rodney Hood out for the rest of the season with a torn Achilles.

CJ McCollum

SG, Portland Trail Blazers

C.J. McCollum scored 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting with two rebounds, two assists and three 3-pointers on Thursday.

McCollum had an off night, but ran into a tough opponent on the road. He'll be better in the next one.
