Gasol, who will celebrate his 41st birthday next month, is joined by his brother, Marc, and current NBA players Ricky Rubio, Juan Hernangomez, and Willy Hernangomez, as well as Sergio Rodriguez, Alex Abrines, Sergio Llull and Rudy Fernandez.

Hart was questionable after tweaking his ankle against the Raptors on Monday. He was no worse for the wear Wednesday as he continued to fill up the stat sheet. Hart had 21 points on just 12 shots and was just two rebounds and four assists away from a triple-double. His shooting has improved this season as he’s provided top-15 value in fantasy. Even if his shot regresses, he can still be very useful to fantasy managers due to his varied skillset.

The Knicks came up short on Wednesday, but KAT had a huge game for fantasy purposes with 19 points, 19 rebounds and a full stat line. Towns has seemingly found another level to his game in his first season with the Knicks. He’s been one of the best players in all of fantasy this year.

Hunter’s 24 points were a game-high. He continues to come off the bench, but is a significant part of the Hawks’ rotation. Hunter recorded just one rebound, no assists, no steals and no blocks. He almost literally just provided points and 3-pointers, which are the only categories fantasy managers can count on Hunter for.

Some things never change. Young didn’t have his best game as he scored 22 points on 22 shots, but he still was part of a comeback as Young’s Hawks won yet another game at Madison Square Garden. It was a solid performance by the 26-year-old point guard as he dished out 11 assists and recorded another double-double. He was +6 in 36 minutes in the eight-point victory and only turned it over three times.

Johnson returned from a shoulder injury that caused him to miss Sunday’s game and was just three assists shy of a triple-double in the win over the Knicks Wednesday. Johnson wasn’t efficient shooting as he had 21 points on 20 shots, but impacted the game in a variety of ways as he had a full stat line. He continues to build on what’s become a breakout season for the 22-year-old power forward.

Wiggins also missed Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves. Gary Payton II moved into the starting lineup, but Buddy Hield is the preferred streaming option with Wiggins out.

Adams doesn’t impact fantasy basketball with Alperen Sengun (knee) also available. He’ll serve to backup Sengun Wednesday with Jock Landale losing minutes off the bench.

Sengun was originally listed as questionable, but will ultimately suit up Wednesday against the Warriors. The Rockets won’t have to change their starting lineup with Sengun and Fred VanVleet (knee) active.

No surprise here. With Johnson healthy, Larry Nance Jr. heads back to the bench and the rest of Atlanta’s starters remain the same.

Add the Suns to Butler’s trade list. It appears more likely everyday that the 35-year-old small forward will be moved by the trade deadline. A deal would unleash Tyler Herro as the Heat’s top scoring option and Jaime Jaquez Jr. would enter the starting lineup.
