-Looks like Stephon Marbury will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to remove bone spurs from his left ankle. This means Jamal Crawford will continue to play 40-plus minutes a game and Nate Robinson will remain a capable fantasy backup.

-Brandon Roy is out until Monday due to a death in his family and will miss the Blazers game tonight in Indiana.

-All kinds of interesting stuff in this Sun-Times report. Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon will be out for tonight’s game with the Jazz, while rumor has it the Bulls have looked into trading center Ben Wallace to the Knicks. A Big Ben departure would likely mean more minutes for Joakim Noah, possibly making the rookie big man an attractive fantasy option.

-This Sacramento Bee story talks about the possibility of Ron Artest going to the Denver Nuggets. A move to Colorado would seriously hurt Artest’s fantasy value, as he wouldn’t likely get many shots playing with Carmelo and A.I. Artest has scored at least 20 points in six of 12 games since returning from injury.

-It does not appear Andrew Bynum will be coming back any time before mid-March.

-Now that the Erik Bedard trade is finally official, will the O’s and Cubs renew Brian Roberts trade talk?
