With 14 games on the docket, there's only time for surface level analysis. Consider this your shallow league, low-hanging fruit interpretation, if you will. Also, with House of Cards burning a hole in my Netflix queue, time is of the essence. Don't tell my boss, por favor.

HOSPITAL WARD

Taj Gibson sprained his ankle, a reoccurring injury for the backup power forward who started last night in Pau Gasol's (illness) absence. It's not considered severe, and the team won't order an MRI. His availability for Sunday's game hinges how the ankle reacts to treatment today. Beginning Sunday, the Bulls play six games in nine days, a crucial period pre-fantasy playoffs.

Festus Ezeli and Tyler Hansbrough were ejected for throwing punches. I presume suspensions are forthcoming. This news may or may not affect your fantasy league.

41 players that didn't play last night

ROTATION NOTES

After injuring his left shoulder Thursday night, Kyrie Irving didn't travel with the team to battle the Pacers. The MRI was negative, revealing a shoulder strain. It sounds like he could return as soon as Sunday in Houston. In his absence, Matthew Dellavedova provided 14 points (on a team-high 18 shots), a season-high 10 rebounds, five assists, and two three-pointers in 38 minutes. The Cavaliers play five games in seven nights starting Sunday, potentially extending Dellavedova's fantasy usefulness if the team holds Irving out this week as a precaution.

LeBron James (back) was held out of the second game of a back-to-back by coach David Blatt. The Cavaliers have four back-to-backs the rest of the season, including one during the standard head-to-head fantasy playoffs. If you're in a position where you've earned a first-round bye during Week 21, consider swapping James for a player with a maximum eight games the subsequent two weeks, especially with James prepping for the actual NBA playoffs.

James Jones started the game, but Iman Shumpert started the second half. Both replacements played over 30 minutes, but Shumpert had the better box score performance with 14 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two blocks. Kevin Love chipped in 17 points and 10 rebounds but shot 6-of-19 from the floor. J.R. Smith scored 21 points in 31 minutes, sinking four three-pointers to boot. Shumpert and Dellavedova led the team in usage rate, and Love led the team in shot attempts. These are all performances to remember in a month when and if coach Blatt starts resting his players.

The Sixers point guard is was a savory fantasy asset. One week into the Isaiah Canaan Era has left many asking for a refund. Because Brett Brown focuses on conditioning and rewards players with minutes if they play defense, Ish Smith handled a majority of the point guard duties, outplaying Canaan 26 minutes to 22 minutes. Both guards combined to shoot 5-of-21, but Smith compiled a team-high six assists. I'm in a position where I can wait out Canaan's ineptitude, the silver lining being a quality head-to-head fantasy schedule if he were to turn it around. But because it's Isaiah Canaan, it's not like you have to hold onto him if you're the impatient type.

Evan Fournier (hip) and Aaron Gordon (ankle) didn't suit up. Fournier's the type of player who almost plays through anything, so it's a bit surprising to see him rest. Gordon, on the other hand, already had his foot operated on earlier this season, so the Magic would be wise to practice caution with him. Little used Maurice Harkless played 14 minutes in his first game since February 9th. Willie Green was the primary beneficiary, playing 28 minutes and scoring nine points with two three-pointers. He's been racking up the minutes this month (especially in the fourth quarter), and doing so while shooting 49 percent from downtown in February.

Tyler Zeller and Brandon Bass didn't play in the fourth quarter. The vaunted tandem of Jae Crowder and Jonas Jerebko acted as the power forward and center in the Celtics' 37-point quarter, tossing another curveball in the mix. Jerebko finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, one block, and three three-pointers in 24 minutes while Crowder added 14 points, six rebounds, one steal, and four three-pointers in 28 minutes. With Kelly Olynyk (ankle) expected back as soon as Sunday, no one is safe in the Celtics' frontcourt. Zeller has returned to mediocrity, but the little time he shared with Olynyk yielded positive results, tainted by the inclusion of Rajon Rondo. Since coach Bradley Stevens has no set rotation, it's difficult to trust any of the bigs from game to game. I can confirm the Celtics play the most games the rest of the season (26), along with Charlotte, Detroit, and Sacramento. However, Bradley's penchant for riding the hot hand offers zero certainties.

Andre Iguodala rested, a fate befitting Andrew Bogut in the future. Once the Warriors clinch the number one seed in the West, currently up four and a half games over the Grizzlies, the younger players will likely receive rest days as well.

Patrick Patterson supplanted Amir Johnson in the starting lineup. Both played 22 minutes in the blowout loss. The nature of the game makes it hard to predict if the minute allocation sticks, but I don't think it matters which player starts. They typically play next to each other anyway as Jonas Valanciunas toils on the bench. Since the outcome resulted in a terrible loss, I wouldn't be surprised if coach Dwane Casey reverts to Johnson in the starting lineup Sunday.

Jose Calderon (Achilles) will undergo an MRI today to find out the severity of his injury. Cleanthony Early replaced him in the starting lineup, shifting Langston Galloway to primary facilitator. In duplicate fashion of the last game he started, Early picked up two fouls in the first six minutes, earning 20 minutes total in the double-overtime win.

Lance Thomas returned action after missing Wednesday's game. He played 23 minutes off the bench, contributing seven points, five rebounds, and one assist. New York's small forward position is one long tryout of underqualified players who don't appear capable of winning the gig outright.

Shane Larkin finally outgrew his illness, playing for the first time in four games. He led all reserves with 36 minutes and provided 16 points, three assists, one rebound, and one steal. Without Calderon in the mix, Alexey Shved played 20 minutes, making me throw my hands up in bewilderment. I know the game was 58 minutes long, but I don't have a clue how the rotation will shakeout. To reaffirm my point, Thomas and Larkin started the first overtime period instead of Tim Hardaway, Jr. and Early. Then, Jason Smith and Hardaway, Jr. started the second overtime instead of Andrea Bargnani and Thomas. Riddle me that, Riddler.

Andrea Bargnani replaced Jason Smith in the starting lineup. Smith started the previous 15 games and fouled out last night after accruing 29 minutes in the double-overtime affair. He's already played a career-high 1,228 minutes, concluding the previous three seasons due to injury. It's smart to reduce his playing time given the ominous trend. Bargnani, on the other hand, came in like a wrecking ball. In a season-high 36 minutes, the former number overall draft pick produced 25 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and his first three-pointer all season. That's probably his apex game, unless he extracts revenge against the Raptors tonight. I'm concerned that he played 22 percent of his season total in minutes last night, a red flag for someone who played just his eighth game all year. A rest game isn't out of the question, considering he hasn't played back-to-back games all season. Even though he's a below average three-point shooter, his mid-range game is on point, one of the reasons he works well within the triangle.

Shawne Williams played six minutes in his Pistons debut. It was more than Spencer Dinwiddie (DNP-CD), who appears to have lost his rotation spot.

Kevin Garnett rested the first game of a back-to-back set and will likely play tonight against the Grizzlies. The Timberwolves have six more back-to-backs scheduled, including twice during the default head-to-head fantasy playoffs. Adreian Payne started, limiting Gorgui Dieng to 25 minutes, same playing time when Garnett played the previous game. Payne complicates matters in the frontcourt, and waiting for a Nikola Pekovic injury that may never come doesn't behoove you if you're struggling to earn a fantasy playoff bid. I'm still holding Dieng because he can be so potent in limited minutes, amplified when Pekovic sits.

Pau Gasol (illness) didn't play. His status for Sunday's game against the Clippers is unknown, per coach Tom Thibodeau.

Patrick Beverley returned to the lineup after missing two games, recording nine points, four rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two three-pointers in 34 minutes. His presence chopped down Jason Terry's playing time, concurrently limiting Corey Brewer to 17 minutes for the first time since January 19th (Dwight Howard's last game of at least 30+ minutes).

Deron Williams played 34 minutes, and Jarrett Jack played 23 minutes. Both Mason Plumlee and Brook Lopez played 22 minutes apiece. Thaddeus Young was limited to 16 minutes by coach Lionel Hollins. Semblance and continuity aren't words used to describe whatever is going on in Brooklyn, so a wait-and-see approach feels like the only sane advice.

Michael Beasley played his first game with the Miami Heat this season. He scored seven points in his first six minutes, attempting six shots in that span. His night ended with seven points in 10 minutes. If you're eyeing Beasley, go check the waiver wire for Thomas Robinson first.

Darrell Arthur (knee) and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) didn't play. Wilson Chandler and Kenneth Faried returned from short-lived injuries only to come off the bench. King Joffrey Lauvergne started in place of Nurkic, and the rest of the starting lineup remained intact. The entire team, sans Will Barton, was stymied by Rudy Gobert. Barton was the only Nugget to shoot better than 50 percent from the field, claiming 16 of his team-high 22 points in the second half. Over the past three games, all blowout losses, Barton played the third most minutes (87) and scored the most points (59) while neglecting to do much else. Two of those games didn't include Chandler, so it's hard for me to believe in Barton beyond this stint, but I saw him almost singlehandedly defeat the Spurs in the second round of the playoffs last season, affirming that this streak isn't abnormal. Poorly constructed sentence aside, coach Brian Shaw plays the guys he likes big minutes, i.e. Ty Lawson, and sits those he doesn't, i.e. Faried, giving Barton some flier appeal for Shabazz Muhammad-type scoring numbers.

Tiago Splitter started for the first time in 10 games. Supplanted Aron Baynes played 18 minutes, and supplanter Splitter played 24 minutes for the first time since January 31st. The centers minutes are so fluid on this team that only the truly desperate need to react to this lineup change.

DeMarcus Cousins (ankle/hip) missed his 13th game of the season. Carl Landry started, played 18 minutes, picked up four fouls, and scored eight points, Jason Thompson consumed center duties, double-doubling with 12 points and 11 rebounds. In 20 minutes off the bench, Reggie Evans grabbed 11 rebounds for the second consecutive game. The Kings receive one day off before hosting the Trail Blazers on Sunday. I assume Cousins is questionable for that first game in a string of five games in seven nights. The Kings begin an eight-game road trip next Tuesday, unfortunate timing for Cousins if the team doesn't plan on rushing him back.

Enes Kanter (thigh) was a late scratch, thrusting Nick Collison into the starting lineup. Russell Crowe lookalike Mitch McGary entertained with a career-high 20 points, nine rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 28 minutes. It's unclear how much longer Kanter sits, making it difficult to count on guaranteed minutes from McGary, especially with Steven Adams (hand) looming.

FANTASY LINE OF THE NIGHT

Russell Westbrook spent the entire month in this section, All-Star game included. Sadly, he was kneed in the side of the head by Andre Roberson, leaving a visible dent the size of a golf ball on his cheek. Before that unfortunate incident, Westbrook posted 40 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, and six turnovers in 37 minutes. He attempted 21 of his 32 shots in the second half, resorting to hero ball with Kevin Durant (foot) and Enes Kanter (thigh) helved. The Thunder has one day off before taking on the Lakers, followed by the Sixers. Durant will be reevaluated in the next two days, potentially rushing him back early if Westbrook needs a week or two off. The Thunder only play four games the first 10 days of March. I haven't heard a definitive word on Westbrook's condition, so if he's set to miss a week, the missed games quotient isn't terrible.

ROOKIE OF THE NIGHT

Nerlens Noel finished February the only player averaging more than one steal (1.7) and more than two blocks (2.8) per game. Beyond the sterling defensive numbers, he shot 47 percent from the field and 74 percent from the free-throw line, a drastic midseason improvement. He finished last night with 14 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals in 34 minutes, extending his streak of at least one block to 15 straight games. The offense runs through him when Isaiah Cannan is on the floor, necessitated by Michael Carter-Williams' absence.

TRIPLE-DOUBLE WATCH

George Hill notched his first career triple-double, even though he struggled from the field. In 34 minutes, Hill deposited 15 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and one block. Since his return from a groin injury 14 games ago, he leads the team in usage rate (26.1 percent) and defensive rating (96.4). The Pacers are 9-5 in that span, possessing the seventh best offensive rating and third best true shooting percentage as a team. They're now sitting in the final spot of the Eastern Conference playoffs, reason enough to replaced Damjan Rudez's minutes with Paul George (leg) in the upcoming weeks.

Joakim Noah slotted right back into the caretaker role from last season with Derrick Rose (knee) and Pau Gasol (illness) sidelined. He contributed 11 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists in 38 minutes. His 5.1 assists per game over the past 12 games lead all power forwards and centers. Once Gasol returns, scoring is the only category in jeopardy, in my opinion.

BOX SCORE HIGHLIGHTS AND ODDITIES

Rodney Stuckey scored a team-high 19 points, grabbed five rebounds, recorded four assists, and registered one steal in 32 minutes off the bench. He's enjoying the best shooting season of his career, converting 45 percent from the field and 38 percent from the beyond the arc. George Hill deserves partial credit because Stuckey is shooting 52/45/94 since the starting point guard returned, permitting Stuckey to thrive off the bench. What began as an unsustainable streak has transformed into usable fantasy value.

The Wizards have lost six games in a row, coinciding with Bradley Beal (leg) missing the previous seven games. John Wall shot 7-of-26 from the floor, yet managed to generate 21 points, 11 assists, five rebounds, two steals, and one block in 38 minutes. His perimeter shot is off, or regressed depending on your outlook, sinking just 3-of-23 three-pointers in his last seven games. Rasual Butler also fell off the wagon, converting jus 6-of-34 threes the previous seven contests. The infusion of Beal back into the lineup will do wonders for their spacing. Otto Porter, Jr. played a season-high 37 minutes and contributed 19 points on 19 shots, playing increased minutes without Paul Pierce (knee) in the lineup. The Wizards play two games in the next six days, offering much needed time off if the team wants to rest Pierce an additional week. He's officially day-to-day, but at his age, additional knee flare-ups are an occupational hazard.

Paul Millsap scored 11 of his 20 points in the first four minutes, juxtaposed to Jeff Teague registering all 17 of his points in the second half. The Hawks' starters scored 77 of the team's 95 points. Consider this another ho-hum night for the January Eastern Conference Players of the Month.

Nikola Vucevic supplied 21 points, 15 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 37 minutes, securing his 35th double-double (second to Pau Gasol). With the head-to-head fantasy playoffs looming, you're running out of time to trade Vucevic's nine-game schedule (two-game semi-final in Week 22) for quantity. If you've earned a first-round bye, Vucevic tops out at five games of usefulness. LaMarcus Aldridge, Al Jefferson, Serge Ibaka, and Marc Gasol all offer comparable actual value, even if the perceived value doesn't harmonize.

Marcus Smart scored all 10 of his points in the first seven minutes, followed by five missed shots the rest of the night. With increased responsibility and shot attempts, Smart is shooting 27 percent on three-pointers and 61 percent from the free-throw line this month. Isaiah Thomas scored a season-high 28 points to go along with seven assists, and Avery Bradley continued his hot streak by pouring in 19 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and three three-pointers in 34 minutes. All three guards consumed the 96 minutes of the point guard/shooting guard allotment, providing a much clearer picture in the Celtics' backcourt. Bradley had scored at least 10 points in 17 consecutive games, more than doubling his previous career-high.

All five Hornets starters reached double-figure points, led by Mo Williams' 31. Since joining the team, 15.0 of his 23.5 points per game have been scored in the second half, exemplified by last night's 11/20 split. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 12 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and one block in 32 minutes. He hit 4-of-6 midrange jumpers, improving his total to 12-of-20 since the All-Star break. While not his first option, the jump shot has drastically improved, allowing him to blow past close-out defenders.

The Raptors made one field goal in the first quarter, a franchise low. Terrence Ross scored a team-high 18 points, a superfluous footnote in a game that was over before halftime.

Lou Amundson grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds, scored 17 points, blocked three shots, and amassed two assists in 35 minutes. He hadn't played more the 23 minutes the previous seven games, adhering to the coach Derek Fisher's rotation incongruity.

Reggie Jackson, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Greg Monroe, and Andre Drummond all exceeded 40 minutes in the double-overtime loss. Jackson shot 5-of-24, marred by seven blocked field goal attempts. Monroe and Drummond combined for 49 points, 28 rebounds, and six blocks. Caldwell-Pope shot 3-of-11 from downtown, but he scored 19 points and blocked two shots.

Jodie Meeks' streak of consecutive made free throws ended at 35 when he missed two in the second overtime. He still leads the NBA with a 93.3 percent free-throw marksmanship.

Aaron Brooks shot 2-of-15 from the floor, flubbing all of his attempts at the rim. A for effort, E for execution. Mike Dunleavy picked up the slack with 21 points, and Tony Snell added 12 points in 31 minutes, receiving a bump in minutes with Pau Gasol (illness) and Taj Gibson's ankle injury. Jimmy Butler scored 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in 43 minutes, routine for the league-leader in minutes per game.

Terrence Jones played at least 30 minutes for the fourth time in five games post-All-Star break. He concluded with a season-high 26 points, 12 rebounds, and one block in 36 minutes. Donatas Motiejunas lasted 24 minutes, partially due to foul trouble.

Josh Smith missed all five three-point attempts. It's noteworthy because Smith was shooting 42 percent from beyond the arc in February prior to this dud. As a Rocket, Smith is shooting a career-high 33.7 percent on three-pointers while attempting a higher volume of such shots.

Markel Brown started his third straight game in lieu of Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle), accruing 14 points, four rebounds, two steals, one assists, and two three-pointers in 35 minutes. I want to believe coach Lionel Hollins found his starting two-guard the rest of the season, especially with Bogdanovic's mediocre play, but his rotations ebb and flow, Joe Johnson notwithstanding. I understand the appeal to add Brown, but his 110 minutes the last three games matches his cumulative total the previous 18 games. His outlook hinges on Bogdanovic's availability.

Matt Barnes received his 12th technical foul, matching Markieff Morris and falling one shy of Russell Westbrook. 16 technical fouls trigger an automatic one-game suspension, a punishment duplicated by every other tech thereon out.

Jeff Green had a Jeff Green-game, missing all six shots in 16 minutes. Mike Conley tried to follow suit, sinking 2-of-11 from the field in the 18-point loss to the Clippers. By averaging double-digit points recently, Green tricked everyone into thinking he was standard league relevant. His acquisition, combined with a recent wrist and ankle injury have sunk Conley's value. The All-Star break didn't provide necessary refuge for the zero-time All-Star. The Grizzlies play their fifth game in seven days tonight, followed by two off days and seven games in 10 days.

Chris Paul, J.J. Redick, and DeAndre Jordan all played at least 40 minutes. Paul knocked in 19 points and 13 assists, Jordan grabbed 22 rebounds (clearing 15 for the seventh straight game), and Redick blocked a season-high two shots. Spencer Hawes chipped in seven points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer, far less than what was expected of him as the starting power forward. He split time evenly with Glen Davis and failed to breach double-digit scoring for the fifth straight game.

Alexis Ajinca scored a career-high 24 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and blocked three shots in 22 minutes off the bench. He's valuable until Anthony Davis (shoulder) returns. The Pelicans play seven games the first 10 days of March, prime real estate if Davis misses the full two weeks from his initial prognosis. It's better to set the bar lower with Ajinca so you're not disappointed when he doesn't live up to this near-flawless performance in limited minutes without Ryan Anderson (knee) available. 14 points, seven rebounds, and one block jive with reasonable expectations, in my opinion.

Norris Cole missed all ten of his shots, cooling off resurrection talks for at least one game. Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon combined for 39 points and 19 assists, limiting Cole to 23 minutes for the second straight game. I'm advocating to not grow attached to Cole because the track record indicates he'll rip your heart out and stomp on it.

Dwyane Wade is still the alpha dog in Miami, even though Goran Dragic has performed better since joining the squad. Wade had a usage rate of 36 percent, a hair over his season number, and shot 4-of-16 from the floor including the game-winning three-pointer that went awry. Since Dragic arrived, Wade's usage rate increased to 36.3 percent and Dragic's is 19.4 percent, a dropoff of two percent from his time in Phoenix. Luol Deng has been the real winner, posting three straight 20+ point games for the first time since his last full month with the Bulls. He's manning the power forward spot, allowing him to work closer to the basket.

Rudy Gobert blocked six shots. That's an accurate depiction of what transpired against the Nuggets.

Ray McCallum scored 20 points on a team-high 17 shots, and Ben McLemore added 21 points on a season-high 12 free-throw attempts. Although coach George Karl intimated he'd split the point guard minutes evenly between McCallum and Andre Miller, McCallum played 36 minutes to Miller's 17. It's just one game, so I won't read much into the distribution.

Danny Green registered four steals in 12 minutes. He picked up three quick fouls in the first half, limiting him to three minutes, and notched his fourth foul two minutes into the second half, demolishing his playing time and throwing the rotation out of whack.

Jeremy Lin, Wayne Ellington, and Jordan Hill all scored 14 points, but Ellington waited until the fourth quarter to score his points. Jordan Clarkson finished with 16 points, five assists, four rebounds, and two three-pointers in 30 minutes. Coach Byron Scott's squad has won three in a row; so naturally, he's looking to shake up the starting lineup. He hinted at promoting Lin but doesn't know if he wants to slot him next to Clarkson. It's a fine mess that ends in heartache. He already benched Carlos Boozer and Wesley Johnson out of the blue post-All-Star break, underlining his erratic nature. Clarkson hasn't done anything to lose the job, and Lin is playing well enough to earn consideration. Since the All-Star break, 10 Lakers are averaging between 18-31 minutes per game, with Ellington locked into that lead role.

Ersan Ilyasova dropped 17 points, 12 rebounds, one steal, and one three-pointer in 29 minutes. He achieved a similar streak near the end of November that was derailed by a groin injury. The stroke is back, along with the fear of injury. I'm skeptical by nature, but Ilyasova intrigues me. The Bucks play their fifth game in seven days tonight, followed by three games the first eight day of March. Coach Jason Kidd was gung-ho to replace Jared Dudley with Ilyasova in the starting lineup, coinciding with this mini-three-game resurgence.  I've got my eye on him tonight in Utah, ready to pounce the moment he lights it up.
