One Play: Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo shooting fadeaway jumpers is a scary reminder of his limitless ceilingGiannis Antetokounmpo is still a dunking machine, but he continues to add to his game in ways that should terrify the rest of the NBA.
Rodney Hood - Listed as probableHood (Achilles) is probable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
ImpactHood was unavailable Friday against the Knicks due to a sore right Achilles, but he appears likely to play against Denver. The 29-year-old has averaged 2.0 points in 8.5 minutes per game across his last two appearances.

George Hill - Unlikely to play SundayHill is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to neck soreness.
ImpactHill came off the bench in each of his last two appearances and averaged 3.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per game during that time. If he's ultimately held out Sunday, Donte DiVincenzo and Grayson Allen should see slightly increased usage.

Julius Randle - Down bad in loss to BucksRandle finished Friday's 123-108 loss to Milwaukee with nine points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes.
ImpactRandle's nightmare month of January continued Friday, as he took just nine shots in 37 minutes and was repeatedly swallowed up by Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks' defense. Over his last 10 games, Randle is down to 14.8 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game while committing 3.5 turnovers and shooting 38.4 percent from the field, 72.1 percent at the line at 25.6 percent from three. He'll look to close out the month on a higher note Monday against the Kings.

RJ Barrett - Drops 23 but Knicks fallBarrett notched 23 points (6-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 123-108 loss to Milwaukee.
ImpactIt wasn't the most efficient shooting night for Barrett, who hit just three of his 12 attempts from two-point range, but he had an uncharacteristically efficient night at the free throw line, where he's hitting just 68.9 percent of his attempts on the year. With Julius Randle looking like a complete shell of himself, Barrett has taken over as the Knicks' top offensive threat over the last few weeks. He's now scored at least 15 points in 15 of his last 16 games, averaging 22.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 threes during that run.

Grayson Allen - Strong showing in returnAllen finished with 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 123-108 victory over New York.
ImpactBack in the lineup after serving his one-game suspension Wednesday against the Cavs, Allen turned in a well-rounded effort highlighted by the three three-pointers and two steals. Allen's production has been a bit more inconsistent over the last few weeks, but he remains a decent, lower-end option in season-long leagues thanks in large part to his 2.6 three-pointers per game.
