Robin Lehner will patrol the pipes for the Isles in their home tilt against Edmonton.
Fantasy Implications: Lehner allowed three goals on 22 shots in the Islanders loss in Buffalo
on Tuesday. He has gone 2-2-0 with a 2.51 GAA and .911
SV% in four games in February. The 27-year-old netminder has been alternating games with Thomas Greiss. The two have made a remarkable #1 and 1A tandem this season, as the two goalies rank first and second in the NHL in both GAA and SV%.

Collin Sexton scores team high 27 points against the Celtics
Collin Sexton recorded 27 points (11-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Cleveland's 103-96 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday.
Fantasy Implications: Sexton had failed to score 20 or more points in his previous 27 games, dating back to December 8. The 20-year-old rookie had been struggling from the field, shooting only 35.1 percent from the field and 35.1 percent behind the three-point arc while only contributing an average of 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.6 steals during that span. Fantasy owners can only hope that Tuesday night's fine effort will be something that Sexton can build upon for the rest of the season.

Deng Adel makes first career start
Deng Adel tallied two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes in Cleveland's 103-96 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday.
Fantasy Implications: Adel got the start because of the multitude of Cleveland's frontcourt injuries. Coming into tonight's contest, the undrafted Louisville rookie had a limited role in only seven games. Unfortunately, he was unable to make much of an impression during his first career start, and did little to improve upon his seasonal average of 2.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.3 assists.

Cedi Osman injures right ankle
Cedi Osman limped off the court late in the first half with a right ankle injury and was unable to return in Cleveland's loss to the Mavericks on Saturday. He finished the night scoring10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 14 minutes.
Fantasy Implications: Osman landed awkwardly on Dwight Powell's foot after scoring on a follow-up rebound. He tried to walk it off before exiting a minute later, and was replaced by David Nwaba. The 23-year-old forward will be re-evaluated today. Entering Saturday, Osman was averaging 24.3 points on 54.7 percent shooting, including 48.4 percent from 3-point range to go with 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals.

David Nwaba finally takes court
David Nwaba tallied 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes in the Cavaliers' 111-98 loss Dallas on Saturday.
Fantasy Implications: Nwaba was on an obvious minutes restriction, having not played since December 23 after missing his previous 18 contests because of an injured left ankle. The 26-year-old forward is averaging 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.6 steals in 16.4 minutes for the season should considered. He has no fantasy value other than in very deep formats or for a speculative DFS play.
