On-fire:

Brandon Jennings:
Jennings leads the NBA in PPG in the past two weeks, scoring 34 points or more three times in that span. He’s averaging 6.4 assists in the past 10 games, giving himself an average of 22.5 points and 6.4 assists during that time. Jennings seems to always have trouble shooting the ball at superstar level, keeping him from taking that leap into the next level, however, Jennings owners can enjoy the recent surge of their point guards play. It comes as no surprise that Jennings is enjoying his recent success as the top scoring option in Detroit since the departure of Josh Smith. Jennings should continue to see the majority of shots, making him a possible second-half breakout candidate. Enjoy the success for now, but be weary of his low field goal percentage habits.

Al Horford:
Yes, Al Horford is an elite player in the NBA who should be putting up big numbers, especially for a team who sits atop this eastern conference in the standings. However, Horford has struggled a bit this season for what we are accustomed to from the former Gators big man, averaging just over 15 points per game this season. He was the number one center in fantasy last year before his season ended due to injury, which is why his recent stretch has him on this list for this week. Horford has averaged 21.6 PPG in the past three games he’s played, shooting 90% from the field, and even recorded his first triple double of the season while playing just 29 minutes against the 76ers. Horford and the Hawks will continue to roll this season.

Derrick Rose:
Could it be? Maybe. Since I had Rose on my ice-cold list just one week ago, he has averaged 25.5 points, 8 assists, four 3-pointers per game while shooting 50% from the field. That’s the kind of production that Rose owners saw from him in his MVP season before the injury bug got to him and what they were hoping to see him return to this season. This could be just what Rose needed to get to his former status as a top 10-15 fantasy player, or it could just be a window to sell high given his injury history and inconsistency since his ACL year a few years ago. All things considered, it’s been a fantastic week for Derrick Rose.

Ice cold:

Rajon Rondo:
Rondo has had a rough couple of weeks as a member of the Mavericks, seeing his numbers go down in pretty much every category that made him a must own player. Rondo is usually always near the top of the league in assists, and this year was no different when he was a member of the Celtics. Averaging over 10 assists per game with the celtics, he’s averaged 8.1 as a member of the Mavericks. In the past two weeks he’s averaging 8.8 assists per game and just over six rebounds, which helps him have fantasy value. However, his 30% shooting from the field and an average of 6.2 points (inflated by a game in which he scored 21) in that stretch don’t make him a great option at point guard. Although he’s never been a player you would draft to count on scoring, he’s also not relied on in Dallas near as much as he was in Boston. He’ll likely be up and down this season but will continue to contribute with assists and kill you with that shooting percentage. I would look for a window to sell high and jump on it.

Tony Parker:
Tony Parker missed five games over Christmas and New Years due to injury and has struggled since coming back. Parker hasn’t had the year that I think his owners were expecting, however, that shouldn’t come as a huge surprise with his age being what it is and coach Pop’s reputation to preserve his best for the playoffs. Parker is averaging just 14.5 points and a lousy 4.7 assists per game this season, which is fewer assists per game than Blake Griffin. Parker is officially becoming a “has-been” when it comes to fantasy play and shouldn’t be valued as much more than someone you shouldn’t drop, but someone you don’t really want to own. There’s nothing worse than those players.

Weekly stream options:

Hassan Whiteside:
Since becoming a member of the Miami Heat, Whiteside has made an impressive impact in a somewhat limited role. It’s tough to be completely sold on him at the moment as a true fantasy must-own player, however, he is making the most of his opportunities when he’s on the floor, regardless of his minutes. Whiteside is fourth in the NBA in field-goal percentage over the last two weeks and continues to surprise.

Rudy Gobert:
The Jazz big man took over the starting job bright from Enes Kanter due to his ankle injury and filled in quite nicely. Gobert is a must add right now with Kanter struggling to find his rhythm, and even replaced Kanter by starting the second half against the Spurs and replacing Kanter. Gobert can singly handily win the blocks category in a head-to-head categories league, getting 10 blocks in three games in week 12 and is averaging 4.2 blocks per game since the calendar turned to 2015, getting at least three blocks per game in that stretch.

Elfrid Payton:
The success of Elfrid Payton in the past four games is certainly nice to see from the rookie point guard, averaging 16.5 points and 7.7 assists and just over two steals per game in the past four games. He’s even contributing with 4.5 rebounds per game which is respectable as a point guard. Add Payton before someone else does, then see if he’s worth hanging on to, especially with games against Detroit, New York and Indiana this week.

Injury report:

Al Jefferson (groin) hasn’t played since December 29th but is returning to action on Monday (Jan. 19th) but will come off of the bench and play just 15 minutes. He should be owned in all leagues and return to his full starter’s minutes by next week.

Tobias Harris (ankle) should be considered day-to-day with his ankle sprain. With the Magic scheduled to play just three games this week, Harris is someone to avoid in weekly lineups until he’s back in there playing the minutes he was before the injury.

Anthony Davis (toe) has missed the past two games due to a toe sprain, but has a chance to play Monday against the Knicks. Keep an eye out on this, but it shouldn’t be something to worry about.

Jrue Holiday (ankle) has missed three games with an ankle injury and has still yet to practice with the team. Keep monitoring the situation, but he wouldn’t be a smart play for this week in weekly leagues. Stay tuned.

Mike Conley (ankle) has now missed two games in a row for the Grizzlies, although nearly played Saturday against the Trail Blazers. He was evaluated during warm ups and the team decided to take caution with their star guard, making him questionable for Monday’s game against the Mavericks.

Deron Williams (ribs) continues to sit for the Nets, however, he is rehabbing and says the situation is getting better as he learns to deal with the pain.

DeMarcus Cousins (ankle) sat against the Clippers on Saturday with a sprained ankle. He appears to be day-to-day at the moment and shouldn’t miss any significant time.

Kemba Walker (knee) sat against the Pacers Saturday with a cyst in his knee. There isn’t a set timetable for his return, which could be a good or a bad thing for Walker owners. His return will likely be any day now, but could be longer if the knee flares up.

Kevin Love (back) missed Friday’s game against the Clippers with a back injury. Love practiced Sunday and is listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

Kobe Bryant (rest) is doubtful to play Monday as he continues to rest due to overall soreness. He will continue to produce while on the court, but he will also continue to rest a game or two here and there to rest his body.

Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has missed two games with a hamstring injury and is currently listed as day-to-day. He shouldn’t miss too much time, given that the Heat aren’t comfortably on top of the East as they have been in years past.

Joakim Noah (ankle) will miss his third straight game Monday with an ankle injury, however, the team doesn’t think the injury appears to be serious.

Robin Lopez (hand) has missed the last four weeks with a broken bone in his hand. Originally set to miss 6-7 weeks, he just had the cast removed and it looks like it will be closer to six weeks if not sooner.
