Tonight's NBA slate is packed with 14 games, featuring all 30 teams before the All-Star break. With injury news playing a crucial role, top fantasy picks include Damian Lillard, who has excelled in Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence, and Domantas Sabonis, who has consistently performed well against the Pelicans. Jimmy Butler continues to impress since joining the Warriors, while Jayson Tatum could see a spike in usage if Jaylen Brown is sidelined. Value plays like Thomas Bryant and Bol Bol are also trending, making this a pivotal night for fantasy lineups.

Daniel Gafford of the Dallas Mavericks exited the game against the Sacramento Kings with a sprained right knee after a collision with Malik Monk. This unfortunate event compounds the Mavericks' injury woes, as they were already missing key players Anthony Davis, P.J. Washington, Dereck Lively II, and Dwight Powell. Davis, making his Mavericks debut following the trade of Luka Doncic, is expected to remain sidelined through the All-Star break due to a groin injury.

Isaiah Stewart of the Detroit Pistons has been handed a one-game suspension following a flagrant foul during Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. This incident resulted in Stewart's automatic ejection from the game and added to his season total of flagrant foul points, which now stands at six. Stewart's suspension will keep him from participating in the Pistons' game against the Dallas Mavericks, coinciding with his scheduled bobblehead night.

The foul, which involved Stewart knocking Thomas Bryant to the floor, was classified as a flagrant-2, resulting in two additional foul points. Under the NBA's penalty system, accruing more than five points leads to a one-game suspension, with increasing penalties for further infractions. Stewart has also received a $50,000 fine for inappropriate gestures following his ejection.

Isaiah Stewart of the Detroit Pistons has faced disciplinary action following an incident with Thomas Bryant of the Indiana Pacers during a recent game. Stewart has been suspended for one game and fined $50,000 after accumulating his sixth Flagrant Foul point this season.

This incident is part of a pattern for Stewart, who has a history of on-court altercations, including a previous suspension following a confrontation with LeBron James and a punch thrown at Drew Eubanks of the Phoenix Suns.

Despite being a full-time starter last season, Stewart's performance this year has seen a decline, averaging just 5.4 points per game. He now finds himself coming off the bench under head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. The Pistons are set to face the Dallas Mavericks, where Stewart will serve the suspension.
