What you need to know for Friday's games
Here we are, with another huge slate of games on Friday with 20 teams in action, including the Cleveland Cavaliers at Philadelphia 76ers at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and the late game featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks at the Minnesota Timberwolves at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN as the Western standings hang in the balance.
It should be a really fun night as fantasy championships come into more focus with almost all rosters full of stars and scrubs on a Friday night. Players such as Brandin Podziemski, Paul Reed, Amen Thompson, GG Jackson, Eric Gordon, Mike Conley, Tre Mann and Victor Wembanyama will all be in play. And, the bigger question is, will we see LeBron James suit up at home against Wemby and company? I think we will, and I can't wait!
Friday's Stream Team
This segment nominates three key streaming options ahead of that day's action. A streamer, by our standards, is a player available in at least half of ESPN men's basketball leagues.

Brandin Podziemski, SG, Warriors (24.9% rostered in ESPN leagues): I don't know how he's still available in 75% of ESPN leagues, but he is. Podz has run circles around Klay Thompson all season and he'll probably do it again tonight against the lowly Hornets. Podz has averaged 12.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 3-pointers on 47% shooting in February. The only things that can slow him down are a breakout return from Chris Paul or an explosion from Thompson, and I'm not holding my breath for either one. Pick Podz up, plug him in and watch him work.

Amen Thompson, SG, Rockets (24.5% rostered): Amen went off for team-high 22 points, five rebounds, four assists, three blocks and a 3-pointer on 9-of-13 shooting Thursday night. Yes, Fred VanVleet was back, and yes, Cam Whitmore was back, but it didn't matter. Amen played the second-highest minutes last night and has averaged a solid 12.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.7 blocks while shooting 60% from the floor in February. His free throws are abysmal, at 41% over his last eight games, but outside of that, he has been money. If you don't care about the free throws, pick him up and get him in your lineup.

GG Jackson, PF, Grizzlies (15.7%): Jackson has scored at least 16 points in six straight games and has averaged 16.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.6 3-pointers in eight February games. And while Jaren Jackson is expected to play through his quad injury tonight, I'm still thinking GGJ will go off. He's too hot to be denied.
![](https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/3431.png&w=350&h=254&transparent=true)
Eric Gordon, SG/SF, Suns (8.5%): No Bradley Beal (hamstring) is always good news for Gordon, who had 16 points, two steals, a block and four triples in a start against the Mavericks on Thursday night when he played 35 minutes. He gets the Rockets on Friday and has scored in double figures in four of his last five games. He should be widely available, and I doubt we're going to see Beal tonight. And if Beal is somehow playing, just pick up another hot free agent and run him out there. If Beal's out, Gordon is going to put up numbers.
![](https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/4432819.png&w=350&h=254&transparent=true)
Tre Mann, PG, Hornets (12.6%): Mann had 13 points, six rebounds, four dimes, two steals and two 3-pointers on 4-of-8 shooting in 30 minutes on Thursday against the Jazz and will probably do it again Friday against the Warriors. Maybe LaMelo Ball (ankle) will return for this game, which could hurt Mann, but he has been playing well enough that I'd still roll the dice on him to play alongside Ball for most of the game. Mann has scored in double figures in three straight games and has averaged 15 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 3-pointers over that stretch. Ride him until the wheels fall off.
