We’re poking fun at the Bobcats, but Harrellson is always a candidate for some points, boards, and threes if he’s getting heavy minutes. If that happens during the playoffs, the Knicks won’t be playing for long. Mike Bibby started for Baron Davis and scored three points with 12 assists, Iman Shumpert was quiet all night until exploding late for 12 points, Landry Fields posted six points, five boards, and seven assists, and Steve Novak hit three treys for nine points with six rebounds.

James is still listed as questionable, but it’s certainly a good sign that he participated in the Lakers’ walkthrough. Max Christie will move back to the bench if James is available against the Grizzlies Sunday.

It’s unclear exactly when Porzingis injured his heel, but he seemed to be favoring his right foot when walking to the locker room in the first half. He’s now listed as questionable to return according to the team.

Wiggins is back in the lineup after missing two straight games with a right ankle injury. His return should push Gary Payton II to the bench, which will not significantly impact fantasy basketball. GPII is more valuable to the Warriors than fantasy managers.

Curry was originally questionable with a neck injury, but will suit up for this one. He’s missed five games on the season. It’s possible that facing Klay Thompson and the Mavericks gave him some extra motivation to play in this one.

Williams has missed each of Portland’s last seven games dealing with a concussion and the league’s return to play protocols. Jabari Walker will see less minutes with Williams III available, though neither of them are streaming options.

Clingan moves into the starting lineup for Sunday’s game, replacing Jabari Walker. However, fantasy managers should not expect the rookie to play starters’ minutes, as he remains restricted in his second game back from a sprained MCL. With Clingan’s minutes increasing and Robert Williams (conditioning) cleared to play, Walker’s minutes will take a significant hit.
