Player Updates Overview

T.J. Warren dominated during a 99-89 win over the Mavs on Thursday, scoring a season-high 30 points with three rebounds, three assists and three 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

Advice: The Suns finally snap their 10-game losing streak to earn their fifth win of the season with their 24 losses. Warren is coming off a 23-point Tuesday and looks to be back after a nagging ankle issue limited him since Nov. 30. Warren does have some durability issues in his career, so hopefully he can stay on the court. While Devin Booker (hamstring) is out, Warren should have a high upside in all leagues and in DFS.

Dorian Finney-Smith scored one point with five rebounds and three blocks in 18 minutes against the Suns on Thursday.

Advice: Dirk Nowitzki and Dennis Smith Jr. making their returns cut into DFS's playing time, and Jalen Brunson is likely ahead of him overall in the pecking order for the rotation. Finney-Smith needs heavy minutes to carry fantasy value, so he's a drop for those who have been leaning on him in 20-team leagues. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 10:09 pm

Dirk Nowitzki made his season debut on Thursday, scoring two points wit one rebound in six minutes against the Suns.

Advice: He only played in the first half with a pre-determined restriction. Nowitzki set the record for most seasons with one franchise, but he likely won't be making a huge impact for the next couple weeks. Nowitzki may not even play in back-to-back sets at all, so he may be a tough fantasy asset to hold until proven otherwise. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 9:56 pm
