Game watch:
4 games: BOS, CHA, CHI, CLE, DEN, DET, LAC, LAL, MIL, NJ, NY, OKC, PHO, SAC, TOR, WAS
3 games: ATL, DAL, GS, HOU, IND, MEM, MIA, MIN, NO, ORL, PHI, POR, SA, UTA
Waiver-wire watch:
- Jared Dudley: he’s started his last four games and has averaged 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, three steals, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 threes in that stretch
- Tony Allen: he won’t hit many threes, but Allen is doing a lot in just about every other column, especially steals
- Jerryd Bayless: he had a great line in his start Saturday without Jose Calderon; if Calderon misses more time with his bum hammy, Bayless will finish the season as a stud
- Ed Davis: he’s racked up three double-doubles in his last four games and is worth a look if you need big-man stats, especially while Andrea Bargnani is out
- Richard Hamilton: averaging 22.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and one three-pointer per game since March 23
- Mike Bibby: with Mario Chalmers still out, Bibby is a decent option at PG in deeper leagues
- Jordan Crawford: he’s fresh off of a triple-double; make sure he’s not available in your league
- Marvin Williams: he’s fading in and out, but he’s worth some consideration
- Maurice Evans: give him a look if you need threes
- Chuck Hayes: he’s a solid pickup if you need help for your frontcourt
- Anthony Tolliver: he’s been mostly good lately and will benefit if Kevin Love has to shut things down
- Derrick Favors: give him a look if you need blocks
- Kwame Brown: it’s hard to believe, but he’s a somewhat-qualified big man if you’re in the market for one
- Chris Andersen: he’s a blocking machine but got hurt recently
- Dante Cunningham: he’s worth monitoring
- Brandon Bass: a steady source of points and a few rebounds
- Spencer Hawes: if you need a big man, give Hawes a look
- Jodie Meeks: losing steam lately, but still a good guy for threes
- Nikola Pekovic: so long as Manna’s out, Pekovic is worth a look
- Andris Biedrins (ankle): making progress but his timeline for returning is still up in the air
- Nenad Krstic (knee): MRI came back negative; day-to-day
- Joakim Noah (ankle): day-to-day
- Al Harrington (Achilles): game-time decision today
- Arron Afflalo (hamstring): ditto
- Chris Andersen (ankle): day-to-day
- Ryan Gomes (knee): day-to-day
- Chris Kaman (flu): day-to-day
- Carlos Delfino (ribs): day-to-day
- Darko Milicic (ankle): day-to-day
- Jason Richardson (knee): missed Saturday’s practice with knee tendinitis; monitor his status
- Gilbert Arenas (illness): won’t play today
- Steve Nash (illness): out today; targeting Tuesday for his return
- Andrea Bargnani (ankle): day-to-day
- Jose Calderon (hamstring): day-to-day
- Tyson Chandler (back): questionable today
- Sebastian Telfair (flu): day-to-day
- Lou Williams (hamstring): monitor his status
- Kevin Love (groin): check his progress
- Kris Humphries (ankle/heel): day-to-day

↓ Jason Kidd: he’s putting up mediocre numbers lately and stands to get rest down the last stretch of the season
