Welcome to the Fantasy Basketball Minutes Report. Every week, I will review each team's updated minutes per game to see which players are seeing the court more or less than in previous weeks. With this information in hand, I'll try to discuss any relevant fantasy risers or fallers; players who we should be adding off waivers or removing from our teams.

The charts below are also great for exploring on your own. You can track the minutes over the last three, five, and ten games, and for the entire season, to see which trends stand out to you.

All of this data was made accessible by Kyle Bland, who is incredibly talented and also extremely generous. Be sure to follow him to check out all of his baseball data as well.

Atlanta Hawks

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Jalen Johnson	38.2	36.6	36
Nickeil Alexander-Walker	33.9	32.8	33.4
Dyson Daniels	32.6	32.9	34.1
Onyeka Okongwu	31.4	32.9	33.2
CJ McCollum	25.8	26.6	26.2
Luke Kennard	19.5	19.3	21
Corey Kispert	18.8	19	18.2
Vít Krejčí	16.7	18.4	21.1
Zaccharie Risacher			28.7
Kristaps Porziņģis			20.9

The Hawks have been without Kristaps Porziņģis and Zaccharie Risacher for six games and will be without them for another week. I recorded a video this week discussing the Hawks’ rotation in the wake of that.

Boston Celtics

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Jaylen Brown	34.1	33.1	35.2
Payton Pritchard	33.6	32.1	32.4
Derrick White	31.1	33.2	35.4
Sam Hauser	28.4	29.5	27.8
Neemias Queta	26.8	26.4	25.5
Anfernee Simons	23.6	25.9	25.3
Baylor Scheierman	20.3	17.3	14.5
Jordan Walsh	14.5	17.8	17.5
Luka Garza	14.4	17.5	19.6

It's just lather, rinse, repeat with the Celtics this season. Sam Hauser is now seeing the majority of the minutes at power forward, but that spot has been a rotation all season. I should note that Neemias Queta is a top 100 player in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks, averaging 12 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.6 blocks over his last seven games.

Brooklyn Nets

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Michael Porter Jr.	31.1	31.5	32.9
Nic Claxton	28	28.4	27.6
Noah Clowney	27.1	28.1	29.3
Drake Powell	25	24.7	21.8
Nolan Traore	22.2	22.8	21.5
Day'Ron Sharpe	21.6	20.3	22.6
Terance Mann	21.6	19.7	22.6
Ziaire Williams	21.4	21.4	22.4
Egor Dëmin	21.4	22.7	25.5
Cam Thomas	19.8	22	22.5

The Nets scored just 66 points against the Knicks on Wednesday. 66 points in a full NBA game. Woof. This team is fully healthy as well. After a strong stretch, Egor Dëmin has come back down to Earth, and the Nets are simply rotating too many players to get much value out of most of them.

Charlotte Hornets

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Brandon Miller	29.3	32.1	29.9
Kon Knueppel	29.1	31	29.6
Moussa Diabaté	26.9	29.8	29.8
Miles Bridges	26.3	29.3	30.3
Sion James	23.7	21.3	23.3
Grant Williams	21.6	17.4	16.7
Ryan Kalkbrenner	20.9	18.2	19.1
LaMelo Ball	20.9	24.7	25
Collin Sexton	19.8	18.4	19.5

The Hornets are pretty healthy now, but they have decided to limit LaMelo Ball's minutes in recent games to help him through a few bumps and bruises. In fact, he's even come off the bench recently ahead of back-to-backs. It's unclear how long this will last, but it's a situation worth monitoring. Moussa Diabaté has also seen his fantasy value take a hit since Ryan Kalkbrenner returned to cut into his minutes, but that shouldn't have been a surprise.

Chicago Bulls

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Coby White	31.2	30.9	29.6
Nikola Vučević	31	32.2	32.8
Jalen Smith	29.8	28.5	25.1
Matas Buzelis	29.8	28.9	29.8
Tre Jones	26.6	26.6	27.1
Ayo Dosunmu	26.3	25.9	26.3
Isaac Okoro	24.6	26.5	26.8
Kevin Huerter	22.9	23.4	24.5

Josh Giddey (hamstring) remains out but could return over the weekend or next week. That could impact Tre Jones' value, but Jones has been a top 55 player in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks, averaging 15 points, 7.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in six games. He's worth playing until Giddey returns. Patrick Williams is also dealing with an ankle sprain, which has led to more minutes for Jalen Smith, who has been a top 100 player over the last two weeks. I'd love to see Ayo Dosunmu traded to a place where he can play a bit more.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Donovan Mitchell	37.1	35.7	35
Evan Mobley	34.3	34.2	34.1
Jaylon Tyson	33.8	30.4	27.3
Jarrett Allen	32.1	30.9	30.7
De'Andre Hunter	23.2	21.8	22.9
Dean Wade	21.8	21.8	17.3
Nae'Qwan Tomlin	21.6	21.1	18.7
Craig Porter Jr.	20.6	19.1	21

Sam Merrill and Darius Garland remain out, which has led to more minutes for Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade, who returned from an injury of his own. Tyson has been a fringe top 100 player, and Garland is expected to miss at least another week, which should help Tyson maintain his value. Wade played 16 minutes in his return and then 27 minutes in his second game, so he's likely to play near 30 minutes a game in the coming weeks.

Dallas Mavericks

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Max Christie	30.5	31.8	31.8
Naji Marshall	28.8	31.3	30.5

Dwight Powell	26.4	26.6	22.3
Caleb Martin	24.6	21.3	16.5
Ryan Nembhard	21.8	20.6	20.1
Moussa Cisse	21.6	19.1	19.2
Klay Thompson	21.5	22.9	22.6
Brandon Williams	20.9	22.1	21.4

Cooper Flagg returned this week after missing two games, but Daniel Gafford has been battling an ankle injury, which has led to more minutes for Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell. None of the big men are worth chasing other than Naji Marshall, who is at the center of some trade rumors and could be dealt into a bench role on a contender soon.

Denver Nuggets

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Peyton Watson	34	34.4	35.5
Jamal Murray	33.5	35.2	36.1
Spencer Jones	32.4	30.4	28.4
Aaron Gordon	31.9	30.8	28
Jalen Pickett	27.5	27.8	28.6
Tim Hardaway Jr.	26.6	29.6	29.9
DaRon Holmes II	25.8	15.2	15.9
Bruce Brown	21.5	22.5	23.7
Hunter Tyson	20.9	11.8	16.6

The Nuggets' injury list is incredibly long. Cameron Johnson remains out indefinitely, but Jonas Valanciunas and Christian Braun could both return this weekend, while Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon are managing bumps and bruises that don't figure to keep them out long. Peyton Watson has been incredible in the interim, averaging 20.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.3 blocks in the last seven games, which is top 40 value in fantasy basketball.

Detroit Pistons

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Cade Cunningham	30.8	33.3	34.1
Jalen Duren	27.8	28	26.3
Tobias Harris	27.7	27.9	23.5
Duncan Robinson	27.7	27.7	25.9
Ausar Thompson	23.8	24.9	24.7
Isaiah Stewart	21.9	21.9	25.5
Daniss Jenkins	19.3	16.5	18.3
Jaden Ivey	18.8	18.8	19.4
Caris LeVert	18.5	19	17.6

Cade Cunningham has been dealing with an illness and a hip injury, which have limited his minutes, but neither appears to be overly serious. Tobias Harris has returned and immediately resumed his normal role, which has limited Isaiah Stewart's usage and value. You have to wonder if the Pistons would be better off trading Jaden Ivey since their rotation is so deep that he rarely plays.

Golden State Warriors

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Stephen Curry	27.4	28.1	30.7
Brandin Podziemski	27.1	25.7	24.1
Will Richard	26.7	22.8	18.4
Moses Moody	24.6	24.9	23.5
Draymond Green	24.5	24.6	25.3
Jonathan Kuminga	21.1	21.1	21.1
De'Anthony Melton	21	20.8	22.2
Jimmy Butler III	20.8	26.4	29.3
Buddy Hield	20	16.5	12.9

The biggest injury of the week was Jimmy Butler going down with a torn ACL. I covered that injury and the fallout for the Warriors in a video this week.

Houston Rockets

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Kevin Durant	38.5	38.4	38.3
Amen Thompson	38.3	39.4	39.1
Jabari Smith Jr.	38	36.4	36.8
Alperen Sengun	32.9	33.5	29.1
Steven Adams	27.4	23.5	26.9
Josh Okogie	22.2	20.3	15
Reed Sheppard	21.8	21.4	22.2
Tari Eason	19.8	19.8	26.1
Dorian Finney-Smith	15.6	15.6	15.7

The Rockets had been operating at the status quo for a while, but Steven Adams is now likely to be sidelined for over a month with a severe ankle sprain. In the one game since that occurred, we saw Josh Okogie move back into the starting lineup, but Tari Eason played more minutes. We also saw Clint Capela only play 12 minutes, so he may not see the boost in time that many expected.

Indiana Pacers

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Andrew Nembhard	34.6	33.5	32.8
Pascal Siakam	33.7	34.2	33.8
Aaron Nesmith	30.4	31.1	31.8
Jarace Walker	25.8	23.4	21.8
Johnny Furphy	20.4	23.2	22.2
Jay Huff	17.2	19.3	21.6
Quenton Jackson	17.2	16.4	17.1

Isaiah Jackson returned from injury but is only averaging 11 minutes per game in his three games back. There's just very little to be excited about or to discuss here.

Los Angeles Clippers

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
James Harden	36.6	36.8	36.4
Kris Dunn	32.9	28.5	29.9
Jordan Miller	31.9	31.4	25.4
Ivica Zubac	30.3	29.5	28.8
Kobe Sanders	28	26.5	23.6
John Collins	24.9	26.7	30.6
Cam Christie	20.8	16.7	11.6
Brook Lopez	15.5	17.6	16.4

Kawhi Leonard has missed the last three games with a knee injury, which has allowed Jordan Miller to step up. Miller is averaging 14.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.6 steals over his last seven games. That's been a nice boost for the Clippers, but when it comes to on-court production, this is really just a two-man team with some rotating pieces around them.

Los Angeles Lakers

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Luka Dončić	34.7	34.6	36.2
LeBron James	32.8	32.8	33.4
Marcus Smart	27.1	28.6	30.6
Jake LaRavia	24.7	29.4	32
Deandre Ayton	23.8	27.5	28.4
Rui Hachimura	22.9	20.9	20.9
Maxi Kleber	20.7	20.7	9.5
Gabe Vincent	19.1	17.3	17.3
Jarred Vanderbilt	18.9	17.4	20.9

Austin Reaves is inching closer to a return, which would likely lead to a minutes hit for Marcus Smart and Jake LaRavia. However, until that happens, this remains even more of a two-man team than the Clippers, with not one Lakers player in the top 135 in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks other than LeBron James and Luka Dončić.

Memphis Grizzlies

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Jaren Jackson Jr.	31.7	31.5	32.3
Ja Morant	29.2	29.2	31
Santi Aldama	27.7	29.4	28.9
Jock Landale	26.8	27.3	24.8
Cedric Coward	25.7	25.8	25.3
Cam Spencer	21.9	25.1	25.2
Jaylen Wells	21.3	22.7	25.4
GG Jackson	20.2	18.3	19.9
Vince Williams Jr.	19.4	20.4	20.7

Ja Morant returned from his calf injury, but the Grizzlies are still dealing with injuries to a few other players and sorting out a rotation that seems destined to be impacted by the trade deadline.I recorded a video this week going into all of it.

Miami Heat

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Norman Powell	32.2	32.2	29.7
Jaime Jaquez Jr.	29.6	30.1	24.3
Andrew Wiggins	29.6	30.5	29.1
Bam Adebayo	29.4	30.6	30.1
Pelle Larsson	27.8	28.1	25.5
Davion Mitchell	22.3	21	25.5
Simone Fontecchio	21.1	20	12.4
Kasparas Jakučionis	19.1	21.2	14.8
Kel'el Ware	17.1	14.9	19.5

Kel'el Ware has been battling a hamstring injury, which has hurt his minutes and production. Tyler Herro is also dealing with a rib injury that will sideline him at least another week. That has led to plenty of minutes and production for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and a slight boost for Davion Mitchell.

Milwaukee Bucks

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
AJ Green	29.4	30.3	32.3
Ryan Rollins	27.9	29.9	32.6
Giannis Antetokounmpo	27.7	29.4	29.9
Bobby Portis	27.1	25.1	23.8
Kyle Kuzma	26.8	25.5	24.2
Kevin Porter Jr.	25.6	29.6	34.8
Myles Turner	25.2	24.9	26
Cole Anthony	19.1	15.8	15.8

Man, does it seem like Giannis Antetokounmpo wants out. He's taking the fewest shots that he's ever taken. With Kevin Porter Jr. (oblique) also getting hurt again, we're likely to see a lot of Ryan Rollins over the next few weeks. We could also see Gary Trent Jr. back in the rotation and/or Bobby Portis take on more work.

Minnesota Timberwolves

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Anthony Edwards	39.7	39	35.9
Julius Randle	38.4	36	33.7
Jaden McDaniels	37	35.3	33.1

Naz Reid	21.7	25	24.7
Mike Conley	21	19.1	16.9
Jaylen Clark	12.3	12.8	13.5

The Timberwolves are pretty healthy right now, so there's not much to say here, butI did record a video on just how good Anthony Edwards has been this season.

New Orleans Pelicans

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Trey Murphy III	35.9	35.9	36.7
Saddiq Bey	29.9	29.5	29.5
Zion Williamson	26.1	27.9	29.2
Derik Queen	25.9	24.6	26.5
Yves Missi	25.6	26	21.8
Micah Peavy	24.4	20.2	20.6
Jordan Poole	23.2	21.4	22.3
Jeremiah Fears	20.6	23.6	25.1

Zion Williamson is dealing with an illness right now, and Herb Jones is still battling his ankle injury. Yet, no new players have really stepped up. Derik Queen is in a bit of a slump but remains a top 80 player in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks. There's little else of note here.

New York Knicks

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
OG Anunoby	33.3	32.9	33.5
Jalen Brunson	32.1	23.1	30.2
Mikal Bridges	31.6	33	32.7
Karl-Anthony Towns	28.4	29.8	29.7
Miles McBride	27.4	29.3	31.1
Josh Hart	26.4	30.4	30.5
Mitchell Robinson	18.3	18.5	21.3
Landry Shamet	17.6	17.3	17.3

The Knicks are a bit of a mess right now, as I covered in a video this week. The good news is that Jalen Brunson returned from his ankle injury, and Landry Shamet made his return from a shoulder injury, so the team is healthy. Other than Josh Hart, who admitted he came back from his ankle injury early because the team was struggling. The biggest question surrounding the Knicks right now is whether or not they can win with Karl-Anthony Towns or if he needs to be moved at the deadline.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander	34.4	33.9	34.3
Chet Holmgren	31.1	29.5	30.9

Aaron Wiggins	29.1	25.9	24.8
Ajay Mitchell	26.1	26.3	28.1
Cason Wallace	23.8	23.3	24
Isaiah Joe	23	18.2	16.7
Kenrich Williams	17	16	14.8

The Thunder are not only dealing with an injury to Jalen Williams, which I discussed in a video this week, but Ajay Mitchell also got hurt on Wednesday night. With Alex Caruso also battling a groin injury, expect a lot of work for Aaron Wiggins, but the Thunder's impressive depth is starting to be tested right now.

Orlando Magic

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Paolo Banchero	37.5	38.5	36.1
Anthony Black	36.2	36.7	33.6

Noah Penda	20.9	24.8	20.7
Goga Bitadze	19.8	17	17.3
Tristan da Silva	19.6	20.6	22.1

Jalen Suggs is still inching closer to a return from a hip injury, but Franz Wagner returned late last week for the Magic's game in Berlin, Germany.I covered the fallout from his return in a video last week.

Philadelphia 76ers

Kelly Oubre Jr.	31.7	30.2	27.4
Paul George	30.3	29.5	31.7
Quentin Grimes	26.1	23.2	27.9
Dominick Barlow	22.9	20.4	20.3
Andre Drummond	21.8	16.9	16.5
Adem Bona	18.6	15.8	18.2

The 76ers are continuing to monitor minutes for Joel Embiid and Paul George as the two veterans recover from knee injuries. Good thing for Philadelphia that Tyrese Maxey has emerged as a bona fide star and the face of the franchise, as I covered in a video this week.

Phoenix Suns

Oso Ighodaro	23.4	22.4	22.3
Jalen Green	19.9	19.9	19.9
Jordan Goodwin	19	21.2	22.4

The Suns got Jalen Green back this week and are now playing Grayson Allen a full complement of minutes with him fully recovered from his own injury. My colleague, Noah Rubin, broke all of that down in a video this week.

Jerami Grant	22.4	22.4	22.4
Jrue Holiday	20.1	19.3	19.3
Robert Williams III	18.3	17.1	15.4

Jerami Grant and Jrue Holiday are back, but Portland is continuing to monitor their minutes. That has allowed Caleb Love to remain in the rotation. Shaedon Sharpe has also had a nice month of January, and is averaging 23 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.3 steals per game over his last six games. That's top 50 value in fantasy basketball.

Sacramento Kings

Nique Clifford	19.6	18.1	18.6
Dennis Schröder	19	19.3	21.4
Domantas Sabonis	18.4	19.3	19.3

Domantas Sabonis has returned, but the Kings are going to be cautious with his minutes as they look to keep him healthy and trade him at the deadline. One name to watch is Dylan Cardwell. He has entered the rotation and flashed some intriguing ability and skills on the glass. If the Kings do make some trades, he could see a big bump in minutes and usage.

San Antonio Spurs

Harrison Barnes	25.3	23.2	25.6
Dylan Harper	23	23.9	21.4
Luke Kornet	21.7	21.1	23.2

Devin Vassell (thigh) remains out, and Luke Kornet is dealing with an adductor injury, so Julian Champagnie continues to see big minutes, and the Spurs are starting to increase Victor Wembanyama's playing time. This team operates through Wmeby, De'Aaron Fox, and Stephon Castle, so those are really the only three names to know for fantasy purposes.

Toronto Raptors

Collin Murray-Boyles	24.6	30.8	31.4
Ochai Agbaji	18.7	23.2	16.7
Gradey Dick	18.2	22.4	18.8

RJ Barrett (ankle), Jakob Poeltl (back), and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) remain sidelined. That has really just led to more usage for Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley, who are both top 20 players over the last week. Sandro Mamukelashvili has also stepped up of late and has some value as long as Murray-Boyles remains out (which might not be long).

Isaiah Collier	23.9	24.4	24.1
Kevin Love	20.7	20.7	19.4

The Jazz injury list is long because tons of guys are listed as Questionable as the team rotates which players to give days off to in their quest to tank but not do it so obviously. That has led to more minutes and usage for Brice Sensabaugh, who has taken advantage of the opportunity and should continue to play big minutes with the stars resting.
