Philadelphia 76ers guard
Tyrese Maxey (finger) is "progressing well." However, the 24-year-old indicated he'll need "about another month" before resuming basketball drills. He had a quality 2024-25 campaign, averaging a career-high 26.3 points with 6.1 assists. His three-point shooting took a dip. Yet, Maxey made up for it by increasing his contributions on the defensive end by amassing nearly two steals per contest. Unfortunately, he was limited to 52 games, mostly due to a finger injury that prematurely ended his season in March. Without question, Maxey is one of the best players in the NBA. But it remains to be seen if he can stay as productive and involved offensively if
Joel Embiid (knee) and
Paul George (adductor, knee) can collectively remain on the floor.

Brooklyn Nets guard
Jalen Brunson (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus the Nets. The Knicks will enter the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. As expected, the team will give Brunson the day off to rest after appearing in consecutive contests on Thursday and Friday. Without him,
Miles McBride, averaging 13.7 points, 1.1 steals, and 43.6% shooting from behind the arc in nine starts this season, should see a bump in DFS production, especially with
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee),
OG Anunoby (thumb), and
Josh Hart (knee) also ruled out.

New York Knicks center
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He was listed as questionable. However, not many expected to see KAT on the floor.
Jalen Brunson (ankle),
Josh Hart (knee), and
OG Anunoby (thumb) also won't suit up, meaning DFS managers could see increased production from
Precious Achiuwa,
Landry Shamet,
Cameron Payne, and
Miles McBride.

Orlando Magic guard
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will play on Sunday against the Hawks. KCP didn't suit up on Friday night versus the Indiana Pacers. However, he'll be out there for the regular-season finale. It's tough to say how much action Caldwell-Pope will get, considering the Magic are locked into the Play-In. Still, his availability should lower the ceiling of
Gary Harris, who had 10 points as a starter on Friday.

Orlando Magic center
Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Hawks. He didn't play on Friday in the win over the Indiana Pacers, opening the door for
Goga Bitadze to enter the starting lineup and finish with 11 points, seven boards, and two blocks. It's unknown if Carter will see his usual workload in the regular-season finale. But his presence makes Bitadze a risky DFS option for managers.

Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Hawks. He'll miss his second-straight game on Sunday. However, the Magic are heading to the Play-In tournament, so there's no reason Banchero needs to be out there.
Franz Wagner (knee) also won't get on the floor. But
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) and
Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) are good to go, although it's unknown how much work they'll receive. As such,
Caleb Houstan and
Tristan da Silva, combining for 24 points on Friday night, should continue to have value for DFS managers.

April 13, 2025
Atlanta Hawks guard
Trae Young (Achilles) won't suit up for Sunday's clash with the Orlando Magic. The Hawks are Play-In bound, so there's no reason Young needs to be on the floor for the season finale. Most of the other members of the starting lineup also won't suit up. But as far as the one spot is concerned,
Keaton Wallace, averaging 13.5 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in four starts, is worth considering for DFS purposes.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center
Chet Holmgren (back) won't play on Sunday versus the Pelicans. He'll miss another game because of low back spasms. But, truth be told, Holmgren will sit this one out to rest before OKC enters the postseason as the top seed in the Western Conference.
Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is also out, meaning
Aaron Wiggins,
Kenrich Williams, and
Jaylin Williams should remain involved after combining for 68 points on Friday night.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
April 13, 2025
Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) won't play on Sunday against the Pelicans. The Thunder stamped their ticket as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference long ago. As expected, the club will give SGA another game off before OKC begins the hunt for an NBA Championship. The other members of the starting lineup will also sit this one out, so DFS managers could see more double-digit scoring efforts from
Isaiah Joe,
Aaron Wiggins,
Kenrich Williams, and
Jaylin Williams.

Utah Jazz center
Walker Kessler (concussion) is unavailable for Sunday's season finale matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kessler has been in the NBA's concussion protocols since April 3, and Sunday's game will be the fifth in a row he's missed.
Kyle Filipowski will see an expanded role during the Jazz season finale. Filipowski finished with a double-double in a 145-111 loss to the Thunder on Saturday. He's started 10 consecutive games averaging 14.8 points, 10.8 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 blocks and could be a solid fantasy option against the Timberwolves.

April 12, 2025
Utah Jazz forward
Kenyon Martin Jr. (illness) will not suit up on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Due to an illness, the 24-year-old will be out of action for the fifth straight game.
Kyle Filipowski and
Brice Sensabaugh will likely see several extra minutes during the Jazz season finale with Martin out and several other players sidelined. Martin finishes the 2024-25 regular season with averages of 6.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest in 43 outings.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: Utah Jazz
April 12, 2025
Utah Jazz forward
John Collins (ankle) won't suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Collins will miss his 16th consecutive contest due to a lingering left ankle issue. Since the start of the new year, he has been on the floor for only 14 games. The 27-year-old veteran forward averaged 19.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks per contest in just 40 games during the 2024-25 campaign.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: Utah Jazz
April 12, 2025
Utah Jazz forward
Lauri Markkanen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After Sunday's matchup, Markkanen will have missed 12 consecutive contests to close out the season due to a left knee injury. Since the start of 2025, the 27-year-old has sat out 28 games going into Utah's season finale. He finishes out the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 19.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 31.4 minutes per game during 47 appearances.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: Utah Jazz
April 12, 2025
Utah Jazz guard
Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will be out of action for Sunday's season finale against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Collier will miss his third straight game due to a hamstring injury. The 20-year-old rookie averaged 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 0.9 steals per game in 71 outings this season. Keynote George will likely be the Jazz starting point guard for Sunday's contest instead of Collier. George posted 12 points, one rebound, eight assists and one steal during his last appearance against the Thunder on Friday.

April 12, 2025
Indiana Pacers forward
Pascal Siakam (elbow) won't play on Sunday against Cleveland. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Magic. As a result,
Obi Toppin entered the starting lineup. Unfortunately, he struggled, ending the night with only four points. With
Andrew Nembhard and
Aaron Nesmith off the injury report, it's unknown if Toppin will remain with the first five. However, if he does stay in the starting lineup, there's a good chance he'll play better this time around.
