Frank Ntilikina Out On Thursday Night

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) won't play on Thursday during the Game 3 matchup versus Utah. Ntilikina continues to recover from a tonsillectomy, although he wasn't expected to have much of a role in the lineup anyway, even with Luka Doncic (calf) out with a left calf strain. Nonetheless, there's a chance the 23-year-old […]

Khris Middleton Out Indefinitely

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is out indefinitely. The veteran sustained a sprained left MCL during the Game 2 postseason loss to Chicago and is anticipated to miss at least Games 3 and 4. However, he is considered out indefinitely, so there's a real chance he'll be sidelined even longer. Nonetheless, Giannis Antetokounmpo and […]

Ben Simmons Playing In Game 4 A "Realistic Target"

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) could be nearing a return, with Game 4 being a realistic target for the former 76er to make his debut. Brooklyn could certainly use him out there, primarily with the Celtics currently owning a two-game lead in the series. Nonetheless, if Simmons makes it back on Monday night, he […]

Devin Booker Could Be Out For Up To Three Weeks

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) could miss up to three weeks. The superstar didn't return to Game 2 on Tuesday night after suffering a Grade 1 right hamstring strain in the third quarter. It's horrific news for the Suns, who had initially expected Booker to miss only a few games. However, Chris Paul will […]

Luka Doncic Ruled Out For Game 3

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) won't play on Thursday night against Utah. The 23-year-old has already missed the first two games of the series because of a left calf strain. However, despite the team being hopeful he would be back by now, it appears Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie will once again be running […]

Deebo Samuel Not A Fan Of Hybrid Role

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel requested to be traded a few weeks ago, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. While it's unknown exactly why the 26-year-old wants out of the Bay Area, Pelissero hinted it might have something to do with his workload. Samuel is reportedly unhappy with his role on offense and […]

Vinny Curry Back With The Jets

Defensive end Vinny Curry re-signed with the Jets on Wednesday. The 33-year-old missed all of last season because of blood clots, forcing him to take blood thinners and barring him from physical contact for up to six months. Undoubtedly, Curry has been a menace for opposing offensive lineman, racking up 141 solo tackles and 32.5 […]

Saquon Barkley Motivated To Return To Prominence

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is determined to re-establish himself as an elite back this season.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (quadriceps) will play in Game 2 of the playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Available On Tuesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as available leading up to Tuesday's playoff meeting with the Miami Heat. The veteran has been battling left ankle soreness, although he never appeared to be in any real danger of missing this one. Bogdanovic had just six points on 0-for-8 shooting in Game 1, so he […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable For Game 3

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) has been deemed questionable ahead of Game 3 of the playoff series versus Philly. Trent doesn't have COVID-19, although his condition relegated him to just 10 minutes of action in Game 2. If he can play, managers should acknowledge that he likely won't be fully healthy. Scottie Barnes […]

Scottie Barnes Doubtful For Game 3 On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) is unlikely to play in Game 3 of the postseason matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie was well on his way to a triple-double during the first game of the series. However, he suffered a sprained left ankle in that one and hasn't seen the floor since. Nonetheless, […]

Lou Williams Out Again On Tuesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 2 of the playoff meeting with the Miami Heat. The most recent update concerning his availability shouldn't surprise anyone, primarily since he hasn't played since the April 5th showdown with the Toronto Raptors. Williams, who averaged only 6.3 points per game during the regular season, […]

Mavs Optimistic Luka Doncic Will Return For Game 3

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) has yet to play during the postseason series against the Utah Jazz. He's currently sidelined with a strained left calf. Yet, the team remains hopeful he will return for Game 3. For now, fantasy managers should officially consider Doncic as day-to-day. However, if he can't suit up on Thursday […]

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.

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.
