Report: Jrue and Lauren Holiday allege fraud by Morgan Stanley broker Jrue Holiday and his wife, Lauren, have joined two former NBA players in a lawsuit against Morgan Stanley and a former broker.
Jevon Carter - Plans to sign with Milwaukee Carter plans to sign with the Bucks on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Carter, who was waived by the Nets to make room for Goran Dragic, will clear waivers on Wednesday and is expected to join former Brooklyn teammate DeAndre' Bembry in Milwaukee. The Bucks traded away Donte DiVincenzo ahead of the deadline in exchange for Serge Ibaka, but since the move, their once plentiful backcourt depth has been riddled with injuries. Pat Connaughton (finger), Grayson Allen (hip) and George Hill (neck) were all sidelined heading into the All-Star break, but Allen and Hill are expected to be available sooner rather than later while Connaughton is out for at least a month. In the meantime, Carter is expected to compete with two-way guard Lindell Wigginton for backup minutes behind Jrue Holiday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Scores 30 in All-Star Game win Antetokounmpo finished Sunday's All-Star Game with 30 points (15-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block in 27 minutes.
Impact Stephen Curry (16 made threes) and LeBron James (24 points, game-winning jumper) stole the limelight on a stacked Team LeBron, but Giannis had perhaps the best all-around stat line of any player on either team. Last year's All-Star Game MVP mad 15 of his 21 attempts from the field and had a key block on Bucks teammate Khris Middleton late in the fourth quarter to help secure the victory. The two-time league MVP will come out of the break with averages of 29.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 blocks through 49 games.

Bucks offense dries up late in the fourth quarter in loss to Sixers as team heads into All-Star break third in the East Missing good looks, miscommunications and a sloppy turnover or two doomed the Bucks late as they tried to come back against the 76ers.

Wesley Matthews - Quiet in return Matthews chipped in three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 20 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Matthews missed the Bucks' previous contest with a toe injury but managed to log 20 minutes Thursday. He didn't do much during his time on the court, however, notching as many fouls (three) as points and adding little in terms of peripheral stats. Matthews hasn't reached double-digit points in a game since Jan. 10 and isn't a viable fantasy asset this season.
FEBRUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jrue Holiday - Posts 24 points in loss Holiday registered 24 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Holiday finished as the Bucks' second-leading scorer in the contest behind Giannis Antetokounmpo, who put up 32 points. The veteran point guard has now posted 20-plus points in four of his past six games. Holiday continues to offer solid real-life and fantasy production with per-game averages of 18.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 boards, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.5 steals on the season.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Near triple-double not enough Antetokounmpo logged 32 points (13-23 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals across 39 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Antetokounmpo went toe-to-toe with Joel Embiid (42 points) for much of the contest, with the center's Sixers ultimately pulling out the win. Still, it was another magnificent performance by Antetokounmpo, who needed one more assist to notch his second triple-double of February. The Greek forward has scored at least 30 points in 13 of 20 contests since the start of the new year and ranks second overall to Embiid with 29.4 points per game on the season.

Jordan Nwora - Starting Thursday Nwora will start Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Impact With Grayson Allen sidelined due to a hip injury, Nwora will make his first start since Jan. 10. If Allen is forced to miss additional time after the All-Star break, Nwora could see some increased run until the former is able to return. The 23-year-old is averaging 8.1 points and 3.7 rebounds across 19.3 minutes per game this season.

Grayson Allen - Out Thursday, as expected Allen (hip) won't play Thursday against the 76ers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Allen was considered doubtful for Thursday's contest with the hip soreness that forced him to exit Tuesday's matchup with the Pacers, so it's not much of a surprise he won't be suiting up. The 26-year-old will now have the duration of the All-Star break to aid in his recovery before potentially missing additional time. Lindell Wigginton should continue to see increased run off the bench since backcourt options George Hill (neck), Pat Connaughton (finger) and DeAndre' Bembry (thumb) are also unavailable.
FEBRUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Wesley Matthews - Cleared to play Matthews (toe) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact As expected, Matthews will take the court despite a toe injury. Matthews has been struggling, shooting just 25.6 percent from the field for 2.3 points in 16.7 minutes across the past 12 games.
