February saw significant shifts in fantasy basketball, with players showcasing substantial rises and falls in their performance. Jalen Green of the Houston Rockets, now 23, has rebounded impressively from a mid-season slump, averaging 24.8 points and establishing himself as the team's scoring leader. Fellow Rocket Amen Thompson is evolving into a dual-threat, contributing 17.1 points and nearly 10 rebounds per game.

Austin Reaves has stepped up for the Los Angeles Lakers in the absence of Anthony Davis, delivering stellar numbers and fitting well alongside new teammate Luka Doncic. However, Guerschon Yabusele has also emerged for the Philadelphia 76ers, proving his worth with impressive shooting and rebounding stats.

On the flip side, Keldon Johnson of the San Antonio Spurs has seen his role diminish following the acquisition of De'Aaron Fox. D'Angelo Russell's return to the Brooklyn Nets has been disappointing, and both Mark Williams and Jusuf Nurkic face uncertainty due to trade complications with the Charlotte Hornets.

The NBA trade deadline is approaching, heightening the anticipation around player movements, especially after the significant trade involving Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis. As teams look to balance their rosters, managers are urged to stay active on the waiver wire, analyzing player availability and league settings for optimal roster adjustments. This week, several players are highlighted as potential additions for both standard and deeper leagues based on their performance and changing roles.

In standard leagues, players like Ayo Dosunmu and Stephon Castle are on the rise due to increased minutes and opportunities, particularly with injuries impacting their respective teams. Meanwhile, in deeper leagues, talents such as Keldon Johnson and Luke Kennard are showing promise, making them worth a look. The schedule shows a mix of favorable matchups that could enhance these players' fantasy values in the coming week.

Bam Adebayo delivered a dramatic finish with a 19-foot jumper at the buzzer to secure a 105-103 victory for the Miami Heat against the San Antonio Spurs. Adebayo's performance included 30 points and 13 rebounds, showcasing his crucial role in the team's success. Miami's guard Terry Rozier contributed 19 points in his first game since being implicated in a federal investigation concerning betting irregularities. Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr. also added to the scoring with 14 and 10 points, respectively.

For the Spurs, Keldon Johnson led the team with 19 points while Devin Vassell chipped in 18. Notably absent was rising star Victor Wembanyama, who missed the game due to an undisclosed illness just hours before tip-off. This marked Wembanyama's sixth missed game of the season, raising concerns about his health. The Spurs now head into a lengthy road trip, having won only 9 of their last 12 games when Johnson scores 15 or more points.

In a thrilling encounter, Victor Wembanyama led the San Antonio Spurs to a standout victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 30 points and pulling down 14 rebounds, along with six blocks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo showcased his skills for the Bucks with 35 points and 13 rebounds. Damian Lillard also made his presence felt, scoring 22 points, and Khris Middleton added 21 points off the bench.

Wembanyama's dynamic performance was accentuated by a spectacular 34-foot three-pointer, electrifying the crowd and leaving Bucks coach Doc Rivers puzzled. Despite a slow start, where he scored just two points in the first quarter, he rebounded to dominate, including a remarkable running three-pointer to close the third quarter.

The Los Angeles Clippers will face off against the San Antonio Spurs at the Frost Bank Center, aiming to bounce back from a recent loss to the Phoenix Suns. With a current record of 26-20, the Clippers are positioned half a game behind the Los Angeles Lakers in the Pacific Division and sit sixth in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Spurs, sitting at 20-23, are returning home after a split series against the Indiana Pacers in Paris.
