The Flames signed Mackey, an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota State (Mankato) after he put up an impressive 24 points in 36 games. The 23-year-old American native has decent size (6’2″, 183) and shoots left. In three college seasons, he totaled 61 points, but really broke out this season, earning WCHA First All-Star Team honours. Mackey is known as a top-notch skater and very capable two-way blueliner.

Harris is a versatile player capable of attacking from all angles. Before a quiet game against Dallas on Wednesday, he had at least 14 points in three straight and has been sinking more buckets this month than at any point this season. Pretty much a full-time starter in Denver for the last five seasons, Harris dealt with a minor eye woe last game, but given the current NBA situation, this is a non-factor going forward.

Nikita Gusev is having a strong rookie season for the New Jersey Devils.

Not your typical rookie — the Russian born Gusev is 27 — he’s still enjoying a very fine debut season. On Tuesday, his six-game point streak was snapped, but he’s coming off a very strong February (10 points in 14 games) and has been getting plenty of PP time of late. Gusev looks like a very fine option both in redraft leagues and in DFS play.

Cameron Johnson is starting to deliver for the Phoenix Suns.

Milton has been providing some key contributions to the Sixers lately, scoring 17 or more in three of the last four and on Thursday adding four assists, three boards, two blocks and a steal. He’s perfect from the line this month (not that he gets there that often, mind you), but most impressive is that he’s been playing at a top 30 level over the last week, so grab Milton while you can.

Brandon Saad has picked up his scoring for the Chicago Blackhawks.

We’ve already pimped Acciari this season, but he deserves a second look given what a good campaign he’s having. He picked up an assist on Thursday, was +1 for a third straight game and, with 10 shots over the last four, he’s been generating offense. Acciari ripped back-to-back hat tricks earlier this season, so he’s a dude capable of scoring in bunches. You’ll definitely want him on your team the next time he’s goes on a tear.

The Wire Troll: Juan Hernangomez Helped by Minny Injury

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Theis continues to be an unsung hero in Boston, but on a team lacking size, he’s playing an important role and doing a tremendous job. He’s scored nine or more points in four straight, putting up one double-double and flirting with others. Theis has been getting to the line more often than usual this month, and after seeing a slight uptick in touches last season, has become a bigger cog in the offense this season. You can do worse when looking for help at centre, and the fact that Boston was unable to add anyone at the deadline cements his role down the stretch.
