Lots of big names return next week!

TEAM INJURIES
Atlanta Hawks Josh McRoberts (Foot), Justise Winslow (Shoulder), Chris Paul (Thumb), Alexis Ajinca (Personal),

Rookie Denzel Valentine is back in action, who should see about 10 minutes of action next week. The Hawks who are still within distance of that 8th seed could use Chris Pauls services, but he is still out of action. Joining the usual suspects is Alexis Ajinca who averages about 7 minutes a game and wont really be missed.
Brooklyn Nets Tim Quarterman (CD), Danilo Gallinari (Groin), Terrence Jones (Thumb), Etwaun Moore (Personal),

Terrence Jones and Etwaun Moore are out of action this week, but the Nets have to be happy to finally get Kris Middleton on the court for the first time this season. It will be interesting to see how fast he can get into rhythm with his teammates.
Boston Celtics Derrick Jones Jr. (CD), Adreian Payne (Illness), Tyreke Evans (Ankle), Derrick Jones Jr. (D-League),

Tyreke Evans joins the injured reserve. Lucky for the Celtics that their schedule doesnt look too difficult. They should have enough firepower to get more wins than losses next week.
Charlotte Hornets Bruno Caboclo (CD), Dejounte Murray (D-League),

Rookie Dejounte Murray is back in action next week and it looks like the Hornets will give his some major minutes. Averaging 8 minutes a game, Murray is scheduled to get around 22 minutes next week. The Hornets are battling the Wizards and Magic for 8th seed, and they look like they have a pretty tough schedule next week.
Chicago Bulls Dragan Bender (Ankle), Thabo Sefolosha (Groin), Garrett Temple (Hamstring), Chris McCullough (CD), Evan Turner (Hand),

Tough break for the Bulls as Turner joined the guys on the injured reserve. Right now the Bulls sit at the 6th seed but this is a serious injury. Jamal Crawford will be called on to take major minutes off the bench and hopefully fill in.
Cleveland Cavaliers Jarell Martin (CD),

The Cavs are on a 12 game win streak and to make things even better, Robert Covington and Thomas Robinson are going to be ready to suit up next week. Not a good time to be playing against the Cavs.
Dallas Mavericks Jerryd Bayless (Wrist), JR Smith (Thumb), Henry Ellenson (CD), Emmanuel Mudiay (Ankle),

Starting point guard Emmanuel Mudiay wont be in action next week, Cameron Payne will likely get the nod to start as the Mavericks continue to rebuild and win at the same time?
Denver Nuggets Troy Williams (D-League), Chinanu Onuaku (CD), Quincy Acy (Ankle), Alex Len (Suspended),

The Nuggets lose some size next week as Alex Len and Quincy Acy join the others on the injured list. Look for Ersan Ilyasova and JaMychal Green step up for bench roles. Nuggets are 3rd in the west and try to continue to rise.
Detroit Pistons Ben Simmons (Foot), Diamond Stone (CD), Dion Waiters (Ankle),

Everybody is praising Laddas on his quick turnaround on the team, well lets see how he does without Dion Waiters, who was added to the injury list. Look for old man Joe Johnson to get some touches.
Golden State Warriors Stephen Zimmerman (CD), Demetrius Jackson (D-League), Jose Barea (Calf), Paul Zipser (Ankle),

Rodney Stuckey who hasnt played a game since week 4 is back for the Gstate Warriors. Paul Zipser who averages nearly 14 minutes a game is on the IR. With the Warriors in the playoffs already, the return of Stuckey could see them get even better.
Houston Rockets Enes Kanter (Arm), Daniel Ochefu (CD),

Byrn Forbes is off the IR but since he hasnt played a game all season it will have no significants next week. However Daniel Ochefu who actually gets minutes will be missed on the IR next week.
Indiana Pacers Georges Niang (D-League),

Georges Niang was sent down to the D-League, because he is playing pretty good and the Pacers are trying to tank. So thats that.
LA Clippers Festus Ezeli (Knee), Joel Bolomboy (CD), Rodney Hood (Knee), K.J. McDaniels (Personal),

The Clippers switch out Cody Zeller for K.J. McDaniels. Zeller is the guy whos getting more minutes, so he is going to be happy to be back.
LA Lakers Archie Goodwin (Waived in NBA), Josh Huestis (CD), George Hill (Toe),

Starting point guard George Hill is back on the injured list. Looks like rookie Malcolm Brogdon will likely get the start for the Lakers who are playing pretty good lately.
Memphis Grizzlies Chris Bosh (Blood Clots), Michael Gbinije (CD),

Darrell Arthur is back for the Memphis Grizzlies, which is good for them as he averages 24 minutes 12 points and 5 rebounds a game.
Miami Heat Kyle Wiltjer (CD), Rudy Gay (Achilles), Chasson Randle (D-League),

Devin Harris is back for the Heat, but he isnt a major factor, scheduled to get 0 minutes. Chasson Randle was sent to the D-League, but something tells me Proid wont miss him much.
Milwaukee Bucks Wade Baldwin IV (D-League), Deyonta Davis (Personal), Thaddeus Young (Wrist), Zach LaVine (Knee), Aaron Gordon (Foot), Iman Shumpert (Ankle),

Aaron Gordon and Iman Shumpert are added to the list of characters on the Bucks IR. That leaves Taurean Prince left to play both SF or SG off the bench, unless Milwaukee makes a quick deal. Rumors are LaVine and Gordon are on the block, but with a 150% chance he wont trade them, why bother making an offer.
Minnesota Timberwolves Avery Bradley (Achilles), Metta World Peace (CD), Zaza Pachulia (Shoulder), Richaun Holmes (Illness),

Richard Holmes who averages 11 minutes, 4 points, and 4 rebounds a game will be joining Bradley, Peace, and Pachulia on the IR. He wont be missed much as Taj Gibson will likely pick up his minutes and do a better job.
New Orleans Pelicans Jeremy Lin (Hamstring), Cheick Diallo (CD), Chandler Parsons (Rest), A.J. Hammons (D-League),

The New Orleans Pelicans are on the edge of the playoffs, which is a good time for Jahlil Okafor and Tony Allen to return to action. Two important players for this team right when they need them.
New York Knicks Roy Hibbert (Knee),

Kyrie Irving is back for the Knicks, which is good news as teams are trying to knock them down from the top of the east. Hibbert is still out of action, Randolph will continue to be the main big man off the bench.
Oklahoma City Thunder Walter Tavares (Waived in NBA), Josh Richardson (Foot),

Big news in OKC is the return of Jimmy Butler, Butler. The Thunder are 10-2 in their last 12. Butler will help keep the machine running. Oh yeah they also get back Alex Abrines.
Orlando Magic Ty Lawson (Groin),

DeMar DeRozan is back for the Magic and its a perfect time. Just when the Wizards pass them in the standing DeRozan comes back. This will be a big help for the Magic on their quest to get that 8th seed.
Philadelphia 76ers Pau Gasol (Hand), Deron Williams (Toe), Jabari Parker (Knee), Eric Gordon (Back),

Philly who cant seem to catch a break add two more to the injured list. Eric Gordon is out with a back injury, and more importantly Jabari Parker is out for the season. Pau and Deron continue to sit on the IR also. Bojan Bogdanovic returns for the 76ers but doesnt seem to be that big of a difference maker.
Phoenix Suns Omri Casspi (Calf), Anthony Brown (Waived in NBA), Joakim Noah (Hamstring),

Starting center Joakim Noah will be out of action next week. Jeff Whithey will try to replace the veteran. Whithey has some decent numbers as a starter with 9 points, 10 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1.5 blocks per game. Not bad at all.
Portland Trail Blazers Brice Johnson (Back), Lance Thomas (Face), Jake Layman (D-League), Ramon Sessions (Knee),

Ian Mahinmi will make his season debut next week for the Blazers. Otherwise its the usual suspects on IR.
San Antonio Spurs David West (Thumb), Joel Embiid (Knee), Andrew Bogut (Hamstring), Delon Wright (D-League),

No real tragedy here, Delon Wright is added to the injured reserve, but considering he has yet to enter any game this season, it wont make a difference for the Spurs.
Sacramento Kings Steve Novak (CD), Marcelo Huertas (CD),

Backup point guard Marcelo Huertas will be out of action next week. He is going to miss all the fun of Melo's debut. Aww.
Toronto Raptors Tiago Splitter (Hamstring), Jae Crowder (Personal),

Kris Dunn is back for the Raptors, but Jae Crowder is being added to the injured list. Derrick Williams had an odd week, who was healthy, then injured, and back to healthy in the same week. Good news for Toronto i guess.
Utah Jazz Pierre Jackson (Waived in NBA), Kenneth Faried (Ankle),

Bad news is Kenneth Faried is on the IR. But the good news is Derrick Rose is back! He also brought the youngster Julius Randle with him. Utah just got some talent back as they try to get into the playoff race.
Washington Wizards Jodie Meeks (Thumb), Anderson Varejao (Waived in NBA), Nene Hilario (Groin),

The Wizards who are in a battle for the 8th seed are jumping for joy to see Marc Gasol back on the court next week. But they are still missing Nene who is a big part of their bench.
