Champagnie had three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 loss to the Knicks.
The Scoop: Champagnie was limited to just three points, continuing what has become a concerning trend. As San Antonio starts to get healthy players back on the court, Champagnie is likely to see his nightly role reduce, at least from a productivity standpoint. While he should see close to 25 minutes per game, his scoring could be sporadic moving forward, making him more of a streaming option in standard leagues.

Philadelphia recalled Edwards from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Tuesday, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
The Scoop: Edwards was assigned to the Blue Coats on Monday and played in their 120-110 G League win over the Capital City Go-Go on Tuesday, when he tallied a game-high 37 points (13-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT) along with four rebounds, one assist and six steals over 40 minutes. He's seen his playing time at the NBA level diminish as of late even in the absence of Kelly Oubre (knee), who has been sidelined since mid-November.

Wembanyama will remain on a minutes restriction and come off the bench in Tuesday's NBA Cup title game against the Knicks, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
The Scoop: Wembanyama will come off the bench for a second consecutive contest following a 12-game absence due to a left calf strain. While head coach Mitch Johnson indicated the star big man may play a bit more than he did in Saturday's win over the Thunder, there's no guarantee he'll see increased burn. The 21-year-old logged 21 minutes Saturday, posting 22 points (6-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-12 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal.

Strus (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
The Scoop: Strus underwent left foot surgery in August and remains without a timetable for a return. The 29-year-old forward should be considered week-to-week until the Cavaliers provide an update on his recovery.

Conley won't play in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to right Achilles tendinopathy, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'.
The Scoop: Wednesday is set to mark a third consecutive absence for the veteran floor general, whose next opportunity to retake the court will come during Saturday's showdown against the Thunder. Bones Hyland has started two straight games in Conley's absence, putting the former on the streaming radar against Memphis.

Horford (back) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Suns, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
The Scoop: Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said Horford is back on the court and is nearing a return, but it sounds like the team will be cautious Thursday. In the meantime, Quinten Post is likely to soak up extra minutes at center.

Spencer won't play in Thursday's game against the Suns for personal reasons, per Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com.
The Scoop: Spencer's next chance to rejoin the team arrives during Saturday's rematch against Phoenix. With the 29-year-old out of action, more playing time will be available for Moses Moody and Buddy Hield in the backcourt.

Green (shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
The Scoop: The 26-year-old marksman has been sidelined by a shoulder sprain for three straight games, and he doesn't appear to be fully recovered from the injury quite yet. The Bucks have to provide an official injury report at some time Wednesday ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Raptors, which should offer another update on Green's status.

Sheppard finished with 14 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The Scoop: Sheppard's output Monday was perhaps a step in the right direction, considering his production had been on the decline of late, but the shooting inefficiency does leave a lot to be desired. With Tari Eason (oblique) nearing a return, Sheppard will likely need to heat up to maintain significant minutes. Over his last seven outings, the second-year guard has averaged 9.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 25.9 minutes per game.

Jaquez produced 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 106-96 loss to the Raptors.
The Scoop: Jaquez's fantasy value has taken a hit while the Heat have gotten healthier, though his minutes have remained fairly consistent. Over his last seven appearances, the versatile forward has averaged 12.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.0 minutes per game.
