2 weeks agoLos Angeles Lakers forward
Anthony Davis (eye) is listed as probable for Sunday's regular-season finale with New Orleans. AD has not only been dealing with an eye injury, but he also missed time because of an illness. However, he suited up Friday against Memphis and posted 36 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in 43 minutes, helping the Lakers move up to the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers can clinch the No. 8 seed with a win in Sunday's regular-season finale, so AD and the other starters will see plenty of extra minutes in New Orleans.

2 weeks agoChicago Bulls center
Andre Drummond (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. The veteran sprained his ankle when these clubs met on Tuesday and has missed Chicago's previous two contests. The team hopes to have him back for the Play-In. However, there's the possibility that Drummond won't be on the floor for the Bulls again this season. As of Saturday afternoon,
Nikola Vucevic isn't listed on the injury report after resting on Friday in the win over the Orlando Magic. But if Vucevic doesn't suit up,
Adama Sanogo, coming off a 22-point, 20-rebound showing, would see plenty of interest from DFS Managers.

2 weeks agoChicago Bulls forward
Javonte Green is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Knicks. There's nothing wrong with him. Instead, head coach Billy Donovan might give him the afternoon off to rest in preparation for Chicago's upcoming Play-In contest. As of this writing,
Coby White,
Nikola Vucevic, and
DeMar DeRozan aren't listed on the injury report after missing Friday's win over Orlando to rest. Yet, they certainly may get held out, meaning the door would be open for
Dalen Terry,
Jevon Carter, and
Adama Sanogo to see a surge in DFS interest for the regular-season finale.

2 weeks agoChicago Bulls guard
Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game in New York. He missed the Bulls' previous three contests because of a quad contusion. But with Chicago locked into a Play-In spot, there's a good chance he'll sit for a fourth. As of Saturday afternoon,
DeMar DeRozan,
Coby White, and
Nikola Vucevic aren't listed on the injury report after sitting out on Friday. However, they may be held off the floor for the regular-season finale, meaning guys like
Jevon Carter and
Dalen Terry, combining for 37 points in Friday's win over Orlando, would automatically enter the DFS value conversation.

2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard
De'Anthony Melton (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nets. He's only appeared in seven games since the beginning of 2024 because of a back injury. However, despite playing in Philly's previous two contests, the 25-year-old has logged just over 20 minutes combined. The Sixers need him healthy for the postseason, so Melton might get the afternoon off. More names may be added to the injury report heading into this contest. But
Kyle Lowry and
Cameron Payne are currently in line for extra work if Melton isn't on the floor for the regular-season finale.

2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Brooklyn Nets. The reigning MVP amassed 32 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, and a block in the win over the Orlando Magic on Friday evening. He might have been even more productive. However, Embiid tweaked his left knee, forcing him to exit briefly before the end of the first half. Philly still has a shot to avoid a Play-In, so there's a chance Embiid could be out there. Yet, Nick Nurse may hold him out and rely on
Mo Bamba and
Paul Reed to handle things underneath the rim.

2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) logged 32 minutes in Friday's much-needed victory over the Orlando Magic. He finished with a 32-point, 13-rebound double-double, adding seven assists and a block. However, the reigning MVP took a hard fall in the second quarter, with head coach Nick Nurse reporting that he tweaked the same knee that kept him off the floor for over two months. Fortunately, Nurse indicated that Embiid didn't experience any swelling, which allowed him to return in the second half to finish the game. Of course, this is still concerning, especially with the postseason around the corner. He will be reassessed on Saturday, although there's a good chance he won't suit up for the season finale on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets.

2 weeks agoDallas Mavericks point guard
Luka Doncic (ankle) will miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Thunder. The Mavericks have decided to rest the 25-year-old for a week before the playoffs start. He's averaged an amazing 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists, and 1.4 steals in 70 regular-season contests.
Kyrie Irving (hamstring) will also be sitting out, which means
Dante Exum,
Tim Hardaway Jr., and
Jaden Hardy will see plenty of minutes on the court.

2 weeks agoDallas Mavericks guard
Kyrie Irving (hamstring) didn't suit up on Friday, and he is now ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Thunder, the team's final regular season game. Irving will get a whole week of rest before the playoffs begin. The star point guard averaged 25.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.0 minutes across 58 contests during this year's campaign.
Luka Doncic (ankle) will also not play Sunday.
P.J. Washington,
Tim Hardaway Jr., and
Dante Exum may see a significant uptick in fantasy production on Sunday.

2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (groin) won't play on Friday versus the Pelicans. With
Klay Thompson (knee) not in the lineup for Thursday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers, The 2021 No. 7 overall pick got extra work, logging 34 minutes to finish with 19 points, six rebounds, and one steal. But it's the second of back-to-back contests, so Kuminga is likely getting the night off to rest, considering he's been banged up over the last month. With that said, Kuminga's absence could keep the door open for
Brandin Podziemski and
Moses Moody to remain more involved than usual.

2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors guard/forward
Gary Payton II (calf) won't play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans due to tightness in his left calf. His absence isn't surprising, as he was listed as doubtful earlier in the day. Payton II last suited up on Tuesday against the Lakers, registering nine points, one rebound, and one assist in 14 minutes. Extra minutes will be available for guards
Klay Thompson,
Chris Paul and
Moses Moody in Fridays contest.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors guard
Klay Thompson (knee) will play on Friday against the Pelicans. Thompson had a team-high 27 points in Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he didn't suit up for Thursday's narrow win over the Portland Trail Blazers. But the Warriors took care of business without the 34-year-old, so he's ready to roll for the pivotal clash with New Orleans. With Thompson back on the floor,
Brandin Podziemski and
Moses Moody could see fewer minutes than usual.

2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be the seventh straight game he has missed because of a left knee injury. It would be surprising if the young star suits up again this season, as the Pistons only have one more game to play on Sunday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Expect
Marcus Sasser and
Jaden Ivey to lead the backcourt, while
Evan Fournier and
Malachi Flynn will continue to receive more playing time.
--Dave Goldsholl - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (back) is out for Friday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The 20-year-old put up a terrific game on Thursday versus the Chicago Bulls, scoring 20 points and pulling down 11 rebounds. However, the Pistons will let their young center rest and recover from low back spasms. The Pistons sit in last place in the Eastern Conference and do not have much to play for as the season winds down. With Duren sidelined, expect
James Wiseman to take on a much bigger role.
--Dave Goldsholl - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoLos Angeles Lakers forward
Anthony Davis (eye) will play on Friday against Memphis. He was listed as probable, so the update isn't a surprise. But AD has not only been dealing with an eye injury, but he also missed time because of an illness. As a result, Davis could see fewer minutes if the Lakers build a decisive lead over the injury-plagued Grizzlies.
