Ben Simmons Cleared For Contact, Plays 4-On-4

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) has been cleared for contact and has been participating in 4-on-4 practice sessions. While the former 76er has already been ruled out for Game 2 of the series versus the Boston Celtics, head coach Steve Nash stated he's moving in the right direction. The 25-year-old, who was acquired from […]

Celtics Planning To Be Without Robert Williams III

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) suffered a torn left meniscus in March but may return at some point during the postseason series with the Brooklyn Nets. However, according to head coach Ime Udoka, the team continues to plan that its big man won't be available. Nonetheless, even if Williams can make it back […]

Frank Ntilikina Out Again On Monday Evening

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) is out for Game 2 of the postseason matchup against the Utah Jazz. Ntilikina continues to recover from a tonsillectomy, although he isn't expected to have much of a role in the lineup even if he's healthy. However, that may change if Luka Doncic (calf), who isn't expected to […]

Gary Trent Jr. Doubtful For Game 2 On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is unlikely to play during the playoff matchup against the 76ers. Trent had a rough go during Game 1, finishing with nine points on 2-for-11 shooting. He was projected to take on a more prominent role in Game 2 on Monday night after Scottie Barnes (ankle) suffered a […]

Landry Shamet Available For Game 1

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as available for Sunday's first-round opener against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 25-year-old had been labeled as day-to-day after suffering a left foot injury ahead of Game 1. However, while Shamet will be in uniform, it's unlikely he will serve much of a purpose for DFS managers […]

Denzel Mims Putting In Extra Work This Offseason

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims is seemingly ready for the 2022-23 season to begin. Mims, who was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, has struggled throughout his tenure as a professional, finishing the 2021-22 campaign by hauling in only eight catches for 133 yards. However, he's reportedly now "bigger […]

Trey Lance Believes He Will Start In 2022-23

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance is under the impression he will be the team's starter this season, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The Niners are reportedly pleased with Lance's development this offseason, so it seems logical that the sophomore will be atop the depth chart in 2022-23. The market also hasn't been favorable for […]

Gabe Vincent Expected To Play In Game 1

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (toe) is expected to suit up for Game 1 of the postseason meeting versus the Atlanta Hawks. The 25-year-old has been dealing with a nagging toe contusion. Yet, he will warm up and should be good to go, barring any setbacks. Nevertheless, Vincent is listed behind Kyle Lowry on the […]

Dewayne Dedmon Expected To Be In The Lineup On Sunday

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) will "warm up with the intent to play" leading up to Sunday's first-round opener against the Atlanta Hawks. Bam Adebayo cleared health and safety protocols, so even though Dedmon will likely be available, his presence shouldn't do much for DFS managers.

P.J. Tucker Likely Good To Go On Sunday

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is expected to play in Game 1 of the first-round meeting against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran has been dealing with a right calf strain, although he's been adamant he'd be good to go for this one. It also appears Markieff Morris (hip) will be available. However, neither man […]

Collin Sexton To Have Testing On Left Knee Next Week

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (knee) will undergo further testing to determine where he's at in his recovery process. Sexton tore his left meniscus back in November and missed the remainder of the season. The 23-year-old reports he is feeling better each day, although he remains without a timetable for a return. Sexton, who was […]

Caris LeVert Hoping To Stay In Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert hopes to land an extension with the team. In February, the 27-year-old was acquired from Indiana and averaged 13.6 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.4 boards across 19 games for the Cavs. LeVert, who has one year remaining on his current contract, has proven to be an effective presence on the […]

John Collins Likely To Play In Game 1

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (finger, foot) will suit up on Sunday for the series opener versus Miami, barring any setbacks. The 24-year-old hasn't played in over a month. However, with Clint Capela (knee) out for the foreseeable future, Collins' return couldn't come at a better time. Nonetheless, he may not see his usual workload, […]

Luguentz Dort Expected To Be Fully Healthy In A Few Months

Oklahoma City guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) expects to be fully healthy within three months. The 22-year-old was lost for the remainder of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery back in March. It was a tough blow for OKC, primarily since Dort was averaging 17.2 points before succumbing to the injury. Nonetheless, it's unknown what the […]

Stephen Curry Plays Well Off The Bench On Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) played in his first game since mid-March on Saturday night during the postseason win over the Denver Nuggets. The 35-year-old came in off the bench and made the most of it, finishing with 16 points throughout 22 minutes. Curry's role for Game 2 will likely remain a mystery […]

Jordan Nwora Likely Available For Game 1

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jordan Nwora (back) is expected to be available for Game 1 of the playoff meeting versus Chicago. The 23-year-old is currently listed on the latest injury report because of back soreness. However, with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis handling things at the four, Nwora's availability won't mean much.

John Collins May Return On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (finger, foot) is questionable heading into the first-round opener against the Miami Heat. The 24-year-old hasn't played in over a month, although the team could certainly use him out there after Clint Capela (knee) sustained a hyperextended right knee on Friday night versus Cleveland. Nonetheless, if Collins can't make it […]

Clint Capela To Be Reevaluated In A Week

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) underwent an MRI on Saturday. The results were encouraging, revealing no structural damage to his right knee, which he injured on Friday night during the play-in win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yet, DFS managers shouldn't expect him to be in the lineup throughout the first-round postseason meeting against the […]

Scottie Barnes Sprains Ankle On Saturday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) suffered a sprained left ankle during Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie was injured in the fourth quarter, an unfortunate blow considering he appeared to be well on his way to a triple-double. Fortunately, X-rays came back negative, but he will have imaging done on Sunday to […]

Lou Williams To Miss Game 1

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) won't be available for Game 1 of the postseason matchup against the Miami Heat. The veteran continues to deal with a sore back, an injury he's been dealing with for a while, so his absence on Sunday shouldn't surprise anyone. Williams averaged only 6.3 points throughout 56 games this […]

Ben Simmons To Begin Practicing With Teammates

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (spine) will reportedly begin practicing against teammates. The former Philadelphia 76er has been running and shooting without back pain for over a week now after having epidural in March, and the latest update only adds more mystery regarding his availability for the postseason series against the Boston Celtics. On Friday, […]

Clint Capela May Have Avoided Serious Injury

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) may have avoided serious damage to his right knee, which he injured during Friday's play-in win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team remains "optimistic" that the 27-year-old won't be sidelined for an extended period, although he will undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the ailment. […]

Stephen Curry Officially Probable For Game 1

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is probable for Saturday's clash against the Nuggets. There have been rumblings that he was trending in the right direction for Game 1. Yet, the most recent update on the league's official injury report means DFS managers can plan on Curry being out there. However, there's a good […]

Trent Forrest Unavailable On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Trent Forrest (foot) isn't available for Game 1 of the series matchup against Dallas. He is on the shelf because of a left foot sprain. However, with Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, and Jordan Clarkson all healthy and ready to go, Forrest wasn't pictured to have much of a role anyway.

Frank Ntilikina Out For Game 1

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) isn't available for the opening round matchup versus Utah on Saturday. He doesn't have COVID-19, which is good. However, the 2017 No. 8 overall pick recently underwent a tonsillectomy, so there's a chance he may be sidelined beyond Game 1 as well. With Luka Doncic (calf) also out, Ntilikina […]

Terance Mann Will Start Against New Orleans

Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann will start during Friday's matchup versus the Pelicans. Paul George (illness) is out with COVID-19, and Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play either, so Mann has the opportunity to exceed his DFS value. The 25-year-old averaged 12.3 points and 5.8 rebounds throughout 33 regular-season appearances in the starting lineup. While […]

Taurean Prince Questionable For Game 1

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Memphis. The veteran is dealing with right knee inflammation, although he did manage to practice on Thursday. Nevertheless, Prince averaged just over seven points during the regular season, so DFS managers should look in another direction for production even if […]

LeBron James Won't Need Ankle Surgery

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) won't need surgery this offseason. The King himself provided the update while also adding the nagging left ankle injury won't require injections. Despite being limited to 56 games, the veteran was just as punishing as ever, finishing the year by averaging 30.3 points, 8.2 boards, and 6.2 assists. […]

Luke Kennard Out Versus Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play during Friday's play-in matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Paul George (illness) isn't available either after testing positive for COVID-19, so L.A. will undoubtedly be lacking on the offensive end for this one. Head coach Ty Lue has remained mum regarding his starting lineup. However, it's […]

Jamal Murray "Doubtful" For Postseason

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) isn't expected to see action this postseason. "I would lean more towards him being doubtful at this time," said head coach Michael Malone, who's been without Murray and Michael Porter Jr. (spine), two of his top scoring options. Murray suffered a torn left ACL in April of 2021, an […]
