Caron Butler

Caron Butler practiced at full speed on Monday night and is expected to play through a hip injury on Tuesday against the Knicks.

Butler, who has missed the last five games, as well as Sunday's All-Star Game, will technically be a game-time decision. But barring any setbacks, he reportedly looked fine tonight and is expected to start on Tuesday. Andray Blathe will revert back to his role off the bench for now. Feb. 18 - 10:29 pm et

Mike Bibby

Mike Bibby practiced with the Hawks on Monday, setting the stage for him to make his debut against the Lakers on Tuesday.

The four players sent from Atlanta to Sacramento do not sound likely to play Tuesday night, but most of those players don't have fantasy value anyway. With four games this week, Bibby owners can go ahead and play him even though he's fairly unfamiliar with his new teammates. Feb. 18 - 10:14 pm et

Chris Webber is questionable, but that's because he sucks and Coach Nelson wonders if he wants to risk playing him

Kevin Garnett

Kevin Garnett is "50-50" to return from his abdominal strain on Tuesday night, according to Celtics coach Doc Rivers.

Garnett says he's ready to play, while Nuggets coach George Karl says he's 99% sure KG will play against his team tonight. Rivers obviously isn't planning on revealing his hand until the last possible moment, but we'd be mildly surprised if KG doesn't play tonight. A decision will be made after today's shootaround.

Gerald Wallace

Gerald Wallace (right foot strain) practiced with no limitations on Monday and should return against the Spurs on Tuesday.

Wallace has been resting for a week and might even come off the Bobcats bench for a game or two, but he should still be safe to have in fantasy lineups this week. Feb. 19 - 10:14 am et

Mike Bibby

We reported on Monday that Mike Bibby practiced with the Hawks and was likely to play on Tuesday, although that has yet to be confirmed.

According to the Sacramento Bee, it sounds as if the four new Sacramento players may not have their physicals and paperwork completed in time to be cleared to play tonight, and if they can't go, Bibby might not be allowed to play for Atlanta. He was held out of Monday's practice with the Hawks for the first hour until the trade was "rubber stamped" by the league, which still makes it sound like he will play tonight. But nowhere in the AJC's column does it state that Bibby definitely has the green light for Tuesday. Wednesday should be no problem for Bibby or the new Kings, but play him at your own risk if you need him for Tuesday night against the Lakers. Feb. 19 - 8:15 am et
