Jazz Singers Deron Williams will return on Wednesday and wasn't supposed to play unless he's near 100 percent. Since he's playing, we have to assume that's where he is. Hopefully there are no setbacks this week and he will be safe play the rest of the season, but that ankle is going to be tender and he could easily aggravate the injury. Play him and think only positive thoughts if you own him. Carlos Boozer is expected to miss the entire week, making Paul Millsap a decent option. Andrei Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur should be solid plays, while Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Miles should also remain effective this week. Manu's Return Manu Ginobili would like to play Monday night, but my guess is that Gregg Popovich will hold him out for one more game. Either way, you have to think Manu's return is very close. When he does come back, it should hurt the values of George Hill, Roger Mason and Michael Finley, but not enough that any of them should be dumped just yet. Hill will continue to start at the point until Tony Parker comes back, and Mason could have value all season, although his best games are probably behind him. They play four games this week, and I don't think it's a bad idea to take a flier on Hill, Mason or Finley. Return of the Matrix – Out Wednesday Shawn Marion is back! He's playing very well right now and could be on the verge of redeeming himself with his fantasy owners. But his upcoming four-game week is now a three-gamer because he'll miss Wednesday's game due to a funeral. I'm still starting him where I own him. Clippers' Front Line Mess After the "big trade" the Clippers now have Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman and Zach Randolph to fight for minutes in the power positions. I'm guessing Camby will now be a reserve and that Randolph could hurt all of their numbers. Al Thornton could also be impacted, but I'm not too worried about him. In fact, I'm not really that worried about any of these guys. Camby should still be an effective shot blocker and rebounder off the bench, and while the Clippers aren't talking trade right now, you have to think they will eventually. Just hang in there for now if you own these players. And in the back court, Ricky Davis is starting in place of departed Cuttino Mobley, but it's quite possible that Eric Gordon could be the big beneficiary there. I don't think I'd feel great about starting Gordon right now, but I have him stashed in a few leagues. Oh, and I'm using him for a desperation start in a league where I own Deron Williams, Josh Smith and Jason Richardson. As you can probably guess, that team's not doing so well. Al Harrington's Back Was Never Hurt Harrington's "back injury" and the accompanying MRI were fabrications dreamed up by the Warriors to get Harrington away from Don Nelson. That means he's fine and should be ready to play three games for the Knicks this week. Don't expect any miracles and don't play him over a safer option. But if you want to take a flier on him this week, he could produce right off the bat for Mike D'Antoni. --
