Both the Warriors and Hawks extended their winning streaks, keeping their place atop their respective conferences and we had big names sit out, big names go down and big names bounce back. All in Wednesday's Box Score Breakdown.

EMANUEL GINOBILI

Sure, there are going to be missed names and I have written about Manu Ginobili already this season, but he is underowned at just 38 percent on ESPN and 68 percent on Yahoo. Ginobili led the Spurs with 27 points in a much needed win, adding two assists and three steals and is averaging 13.5 points, 1.8 three-pointers, 4.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.0 steals in just 26 minutes in the last month. It's very hard to own him in weekly leagues, due to the unpredictability of if he sits, but in daily changes leagues or rotisserie formats, Ginobili is being disrespected by fantasy owners as a whole. It's time to change that.

FANTASY LINE OF THE NIGHT

Unless you own James Harden, you are probably sick of seeing his name under the fantasy line of the night. Harden scored 26 points (10-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) with four rebounds, 10 assists, five steals and one block in 38 minutes. While Harden's block numbers have recently dipped below one per game, his production has been simply amazing and is shooting 49 percent from the field over his last 16 games.

ROTATION NOTES AND QUIRKS

Lance Stephenson returned for the Hornets, but was playing with a minutes restriction, getting just 18 off the bench for eight points, on typically substandard shooting. Much like Eric Gordon for the Pelicans, Stephenson was pretty much unownable before his injury, but we know he has the ability to put much more relevant lines, so if you have a free roster spot and he is available, you could do worse. You could also likely do better. Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo dominated the frontcourt minutes, playing 32 and 29 respectively, with Marvin Williams playing only 17, but before you get too excited, Williams was limited due to foul trouble.

Houston ran a very short rotation, playing only eight guys, which is actually helpful for us as fantasy players, with the useable players get significant chunks of playing time.

No Tobias Harris for the Magic, so Devyn Marble got another start, even with Evan Fournier back. He couldn't repeat his steal output, failing to swipe a single steal and providing closer to his actual fantasy value.

With Tony Wroten out, both K.J. McDaniels and Michael Carter-Williams played big minutes and were productive. McDaniels had 10 points, eight rebounds and four blocks in 32 minutes, while MCW went for 29 points with seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 41 minutes. As long as Wroten is out, we should expect similar production from these two.

DeMar DeRozan returned, started, and played 29 minutes for 20 points. It appears safe to get him back into your lineups and out of your IR slots. Terrence Ross and James Johnson both took a significant hit in their minutes, playing only 18 and 15 minutes respectively. If you added Johnson in standard leagues, his run appears done and Ross could be close behind. Jonas Valanciunas played just 21 minutes, but it wasn't a fickle Dwane Casey's fault - JV had five fouls in that time.

In his first game as a member of the Grizzlies, Jeff Green played 27 minutes off the bench and scored 10 points with three rebound and two assists. It's an average performance, but I wouldn't be dropping him yet until he has a week or so with his new team to establish himself and for Dave Joerger to establish his rotation.

No Kevin Garnett, so Brook Lopez got the start and played 27 minutes, scoring 11 points with four rebounds. He'll likely find himself back on the bench for the Nets' next matchup.

With Jrue Holiday out, Tyreke Evans rejoined the starting lineup at point guard and played 40 minutes, almost triple-doubling with 18 points, eight rebounds and nine assists. As long as Holiday sits, Evans has inflated value. Jimmer Fredette got 19 minutes off the bench as one of the only other guards on the roster, scoring eight points and his value in deeper leagues has increased as a result of this injury and recent trades.

The Pistons were handled easily by the Pelicans, so Stan Van Gundy limited his players' minutes, with no-one getting over 30.

Joakim Noah lasted just 13 minutes before leaving the game due to a sprained ankle, meaning we got more Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic. Noah is being called doubtful for the Bulls' next game, so it may be worth adding Gibson, who had 12 points, six rebounds and two blocks in 32 minutes, while Mirotic is a deeper league guy, scoring 12 points with three steals and one block in his 17 minutes. Tony Snell played 33 minutes with Mike Dunleavy out again, but he has very limited value.

No Al Horford and Kyle Korver as the Hawks rotated resting starters, giving Thabo Sefolosha another start and Pero Antic a chance to play with the big boys. While both guys were solid, there are obvious reasons for the extended minutes.

Brad Stevens, potentially resting his players for a playoff run, played no-one over 30 minutes, further frustrating fantasy owners. Oh, I hope that my sarcastic tone comes across in text. Otherwise, you'll just think I'm insane.

Now, Rick Carlisle legitimately does have playoffs to consider, so he didn't push Tyson Chandler's ankle or Rajon Rondo's sore Achilles tendon and though he may as well give Dirk Nowitzki the night off as well. So, we saw Raymond Felton, Greg Smith, and Richard Jefferson start and play well for the most part. The Mavericks spread the load, having eight guys score in double-digits.

Jusuf Nurkic, everybody's favorite NBA-related Bosnian, played just 25 minutes, mainly due to foul trouble, but partially due to Brian Shaw's odd perception of basketball. Even in limited time, Nurkic was productive, scoring seven points with nine rebounds, one steal and two blocks. He should be owned everywhere.

Hassan Whiteside replaced Chris Andersen as the Heat's starting center, played 29 minutes, scored 10 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked three shots. He, like Nurkic, is a must-own, but the potential for a drop-off is higher with Whiteside, considering he couldn't find a place on an NBA roster for the last two seasons. Shabazz Napier started in place of Dwyane Wade and was solid and if that was to continue and Wade is to miss a significant stretch, I can see him being added. He played 33 minutes, scored 10 points and added six assists.

Draymond Green got just 25 minutes, but it was due to the five fouls, not the presence of David Lee, who played 23 minutes. Green had just six points and three boards and he was due a bad night.

Much like the Rockets earlier in the night the Clippers played just eight guys, with big minutes for all the starters.

BOX SCORE HIGHLIGHTS AND ODDITIES

Tim Duncan got minutes, another double-double and three more blocks to once again show his value, while Matt Bonner blocked four shots. The 0.1 percent of leagues where Bonner is owned just had their matchup swung by the Red Mamba.

Kemba Walker kept it going, scoring another 28 points with three blocks and looks like a different player these last three weeks. His value is scorching hot and if you wanted to sell high because you don't think it's sustainable, now is the time.

What's happening? Trevor Ariza is now a sharp-shooter? Ariza hit 6-of-7 shots (86 percent for those without a calculator) for 15 points with a steal and a block and is now shooting at 59 percent from the field in his last four games. A huge turnaround from a guy who went almost two months without converting over 50 percent of his chances in a single game. Expect this to normalize. Dwight Howard bounced back against his former team, scoring 23 points, his first 20 point performance in almost two weeks.

Victor Oladipo and Nikola Vucevic dominated again without Tobias Harris, scoring 32 and 25 points respectively, but they had some help from Channing Frye, who hit five threes for 15 points with five rebounds and five assists. Firmly ensconced in the starting role again, he's worth adding in most formats for his elite three-point shooting alone. Elfrid Payton hit five of his six free throws and teamed up with Ariza's shooting and Howard going 7-for-7 from the line, it was officially bizarro night in the Amway Center.

Nerlens Noel had a strong showing, scoring 12 points with eight rebounds, three steals and one block and if he could keep that sort of offensive production going, he would be a second-half force, but it feels to inconsistent at this point.

Kyle Lowry didn't miss a beat with DeMar DeRozan back, scoring 18 points with seven rebounds, 12 assists and three steals. If you had the urge to sell Lowry high with DeRozan back, fight it. Amir Johnson took advantage of Valanciunas' limited minutes, going for 10 and 16 with a block. Johnson, who has struggled, in part due to persistent ankle issues, could be a guy who is a must-own player down the stretch.

Zach Randolph had another 20 and 10 game, his second consecutive game of that ilk, while Courtney Lee dropped 18 on the hapless Nets. Expect Lee and Tony Allen's value to get reduced with Green in town.

Mirza Teletovic hit his shots, scoring 12 points, all from beyond the arc in 19 minutes, but his role will be limited with Garnett returning, while Bojan Bogdanovic scored 11 in just 24 minutes. He's becoming valuable in 14 team leagues, but I wouldn't be speculating on him in standard leagues at this point.

A typically brilliant line from Anthony Davis saw the Pelicans comfortable winners over the Pistons, tallying 27 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks and Eric Gordon was solid again, scoring 12 points with four rebounds and five assists. At this point, if he is available, you almost have to grab Gordon and see how things play out.

Andre Drummond returned to November Andre Drummond-type numbers, scoring two points with two rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes. No need to panic.

Nene played a 2015-high 30 minutes, scoring 13 points with four rebounds and eight assists and while assists are a mirage, he's been good enough lately to warrant ownership in 12 team leagues. Just be prepared for the inevitable injury.

Derrick Rose trade watch (fantasy edition) has kicked into full gear, with the former MVP scoring 32 points with six three-pointers and five assists. Surely someone will bite on that sort of performance. Don't let it be you though.

DeMarre Carroll dropped 22 points to lead the Hawks, adding three three-pointers and five rebounds and why this guy is owned in less than 40 percent of leagues is one of life's great mysteries, up there with Stonehenge, the Easter Island statues and the fact that Greg Oden is only 26 years old.

Marcus Smart flashed his fantasy potential, getting five rebounds, five assists and three steals in 27 minutes. His upside is enormous this season and he feels like he is getting better every game. I own him in a 12 team league and if you want to stash for the future, I'd suggest you do the same. Jae Crowder got Stevensed, playing only 20 minutes after his breakout, scoring seven points, If you added him, you may as well hold on for one more game, but the fact is, that Crowder is just not that good a player and his value will fluctuate wildly.

I don't know where to start with the Mavericks, so I'll just say that this game was such an anomaly, that you can discount pretty much everything that happened in the box score. Raymond Felton played 29 minutes after accumulating just 16 minutes total for the rest of the season. There's your stat of the day.

Kenneth Faried grabbed 14 boards to go with 22 points and two blocks in 30 minutes and I don't know what's worse, getting Stevensed or getting Shawed. Faried has huge potential to get Shawed on a nightly basis and that limits his upside, but he's definitely turned it around from the beginning of the season. Wilson Chandler was back, played 39 minutes and double-doubled with six assists. If he was dropped, you can add him, but his name is one of the hottest in trade rumors at the moment.

Luol Deng took advantage of Wade's absence, scoring 19 points with seven rebounds and it appears he can only produce when one of Wade or Chris Bosh sits. That doesn't excite for his season long value.

Steph Curry hit seven three-pointers for 32 points and yeah, we know he's good. Klay Thompson blocked two shots, pushing himself close to the rarefied air of the one three-pointer, one steal and one blocked shot category. He is currently averaging 3.0 three-pointers, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks on the season.

DeAndre Jordan bounced back grabbing 18 rebounds after being terrorized by Hassan Whiteside in his last game (what a sentence!), while Jamal Crawford got hot and hit four triples for 25 points.

LaMarcus Aldridge had his second-best scoring night of the season, dropping 37 and 12 in a losing effort, while Chris Kaman also double-doubled with 15 points and 11 rebounds in 27 minutes. Meyers Leonard was third big man to join the double-double club, posting 11 points and 10 rebounds, but he is for deeper league aficionados only.
