Al Horford Will Play on Sunday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) will play in Game 1 versus the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Horford has been battling a left knee issue lately, but the Celtics have been smart about limiting Horford's playing time. Fantasy owners should feel confident about Horford's health going into the playoffs.

Blake Griffin Could Miss Game 1

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Dwane Casey. Griffin has been battling a knee issue the last few weeks, so there is a chance he sits out during Game 1 versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Thon Maker would draw the start and see heavy minutes without Griffin.

Paul George is Day-to-Day

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George (shoulder) is reportedly day-to-day and could miss the beginning of their playoff series versus the Portland Trail Blazers. The series begins on Sunday, so there's a chance that George misses the first game. Markieff Morris would see more minutes coming his way if George sits out. More information on […]

Stephen Curry is Expected to Play in Game 1

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (foot) was able to practice on Friday and is expected to play in Saturday's Game 1 matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Curry did not play in Wednesday's contest, but that was likely just a precaution after the ankle tweak on Tuesday. DFS players should feel fine with […]

Ricky Rubio is Uncertain for Sunday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (quad) was able to go through part of Friday's practice, but it's uncertain if he'll be able to play in Game 1 versus the Houston Rockets on Sunday. The Jazz have been cautious with Rubio down the stretch of the season, so it's unclear how significant his current quad […]

Jayson Tatum Will Play in Game 1

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (shin) reportedly looked fine during Saturday's practice and will play in Sunday's Game 1 matchup versus the Indiana Pacers. Tatum did miss the last game of the regular season, but that was likely precautionary. Tatum has played well versus the Pacers in the past. DFS players should take a chance […]

Wesley Matthews Will Play on Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Wesley Matthews (toe) is available for Game 1 against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. Matthews is dealing with a sore right toe, but is healthy enough to suit up for this contest, according to head coach Nate McMillan. However, Matthews probably won't see enough minutes to warrant using in DFS contests. Tyreke […]

Jonah Bolden is Questionable for Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers center Jonah Bolden (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 1 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. He was able to get in some work during practice on Friday, but it remains unknown if he's healthy enough to play in this contest. Joel Embiid (knee) is a game-time decision, so Greg Monroe and […]

Joel Embiid is Uncertain for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Embiid reportedly warmed up with a brace on his knee, but it's unclear if he'll play in Game 1 of this series. Boban Marjanovic and Greg Monroe would likely soak up a majority of the minutes at center […]

Klay Thompson is Questionable for Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Warriors have the No. 1 seed locked up, so they have no incentive to play Thompson at less than 100 percent. Jacob Evans could be looking at another start. He's a low-end option for DFS contests.

Marvin Williams Will Sit on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Cody Zeller (knee) is sidelined as well, so Frank Kaminsky should see plenty of minutes coming his way. Kaminsky is someone worth looking at in DFS contests with extended minutes.

Thaddeus Young Resting on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Pacers have no incentive to win, and they want to keep their players healthy for the playoffs. Domantas Sabonis (rest) is sitting out as well, so TJ Leaf is likely going to draw the start and could […]

Joel Embiid, Jonah Bolden Out on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers centers Joel Embiid (rest) and Jonah Bolden (knee) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The Sixers have no incentive to win, so they will be cautious with their players. Boban Marjanovic could see big minutes at the center position, so he should be someone worth looking at in […]

Otto Porter, Zach LaVine Sitting on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (shoulder) and guard Zach LaVine (thigh) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kris Dunn (back) is listed as doubtful, so fantasy owners should expect him to sit as well. The Bulls have no incentive to win, so it's not surprising to see them continue to […]

Blake Griffin is Doubtful on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Griffin is dealing with left knee soreness that he may have aggravated during Tuesday's contest. This is a must-win game for the Pistons, so this is not a rest move by the team. Thon Maker would start […]

C.J. McCollum Will Rest on Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (rest) won't suit up for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The Blazers have no incentive to win, so it's not surprising to see them rest McCollum here. The Blazers will use a committee approach to fill the void. Seth Curry and Rodney Hood are likely the two best […]

Mario Hezonja, Kadeem Allen Questionable on Wednesday

New York Knicks guards Mario Hezonja (illness) and Kadeem Allen (concussion) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is also questionable for this one, so the Knicks could be thin at guard. John Jenkins or Billy Garrett could be given the start at point guard. Fantasy owners […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable Against Pistons

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Smith was dealing with a back issue that cost him three games earlier this month, but now a knee issue could sideline him for the regular season finale. John Jenkins or Billy Garrett could start at […]

Noah Vonleh Won't Play Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Noah Vonleh (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This is not surprising news as Vonleh missed the final month of the regular season. He's an unrestricted free agent this summer, so we'll see if he suits up for the Knicks next season. Luke Kornet and […]

Karl-Anthony Towns is Doubtful on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Taj Gibson (calf) is also doubtful, so the Wolves could be shorthanded for this one. Gorgui Dieng, Anthony Tolliver and Keita Bates-Diop would split up the extra minutes. Dieng offers the most upside in terms of fantasy production […]

Paul George is Questionable on Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. George is dealing with right shoulder soreness, so the Thunder may decide to rest him this close to the playoffs. However, the Thunder do have a reason to win because they can change their seeding. Markieff Morris […]

Derrick Favors Will Rest on Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was dealing with a back issue, but managed to play on Tuesday. The Jazz have no incentive to play their starters, so most of them will sit out on Wednesday. Jae Crowder and Thabo Sefolosha should […]

Ricky Rubio Ruled Out on Wednesday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Donovan Mitchell (back) and Rudy Gobert (ankle) are sidelined for this contest as well. The Jazz are going to be shorthanded, so Grayson Allen should see all the minutes he can handle. He could be someone […]

Donovan Mitchell Won't Play Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was on the injury report Tuesday, but managed to still play through the pain. This is likely just the Jazz resting their starters before the playoffs. Grayson Allen should see plenty of minutes coming his way.

Rudy Gobert Will Sit on Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Jazz have no incentive to play their starters, so they will rest them to keep them healthy for the playoffs. Ekpe Udoh is expected to draw the start, but probably won't be an option for DFS […]

Zach LaVine, Otto Porter Ruled Out on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thigh) and forward Otto Porter (shoulder) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Both players have been sidelined for quite some time, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect them back this season. Shaquille Harrison and Walter Lemon Jr. will continue to see significant minutes in Chicago. […]

Derrick Favors is Probable for Tuesday

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Favors has missed the last four games due to a back issue, but is expected to return on Tuesday. Royce O'Neale, Thabo Sefolosha, and Jae Crowder will all lose value with Favors returning.

Luka Doncic is Probable on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (thigh) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Doncic has been sidelined four of the last fives games due to a thigh issue. Courtney Lee (hip) is questionable for this one, but even if he plays he won't have fantasy value with Doncic returning.

Kyle Korver, Raul Neto Out on Tuesday

Utah Jazz guards Kyle Korver (knee) and Raul Neto (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Ricky Rubio (quad) is sidelined as well, so Donovan Mitchell, Grayson Allen, and Royce O'Neale will pick up extra playing time. Mitchell is going to be the only guard here worth using in fantasy […]

Ricky Rubio Will Sit on Tuesday

Utah Jazz guard Ricky Rubio (quad) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the second game in a row that Rubio has missed. Fantasy owners should consider him questionable for Wednesday's game. Donovan Mitchell will run the offense without Rubio.
