2 weeks agoWashington Wizards forward/center
Marvin Bagley III (knee) remains out for Sunday's matchup with Toronto. The 25-year-old missed the last two games because of a sprained knee. While he hasn't officially been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, fantasy managers likely won't see him on the floor until next season. With
Kyle Kuzma (ankle) and
Richaun Holmes (toe) questionable,
Tristan Vukcevic, coming off a 17-point, seven-rebound, two-steal effort in Friday's loss to Portland, may continue to remain in the starting lineup.

2 weeks agoBoston Celtics guard
Derrick White (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with Portland. He didn't suit up for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings because of back soreness. However, the 29-year-old will return after getting a night off. White has played well during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 15.4 points, 5.2 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks, some of the best marks of his career. With that in mind,
Jayson Tatum (knee) and
Jaylen Brown (hand) are questionable, so White could be in for a big night against the 21-win Trail Blazers.

2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers guard
Donovan Mitchell (knee) won't play on Sunday afternoon versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The multi-time All-Star was on the floor for Saturday's loss to the Lakers, logging a game-high 38 minutes and finishing with 10 points, seven assists, and three steals. But with the Cavs playing their second of back-to-back contests on Sunday, Mitchell will take a breather before presumably returning for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Without Mitchell in the lineup,
Darius Garland,
Jarrett Allen,
Evan Mobley, and
Max Strus should benefit.
Caris LeVert could also enter the starting lineup, with the 29-year-old averaging 16.0 points, 7.6 assists, 5.3 boards, and 1.3 steals in nine starts during the 2023-24 campaign.

2 weeks agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (finger) is questionable for Sunday's game in Phoenix. He has a left finger contusion, which kept him off the floor for Friday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. But the Pelicans are trailing the Suns to climb out of the Play-In picture, meaning Williamson should be out there. Of course, the team could play it safe by keeping him off the floor. If that's the case,
Dyson Daniels, who had seven points, seven rebounds, and two steals in 37 minutes on Friday, could remain in the starting lineup.

2 weeks agoBoston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Portland. Tatum has only missed five games during the 2023-24 campaign. But truth be told, the C's don't need him against the 21-win Trail Blazers. The Celtics are the top team in the Eastern Conference by far, so fantasy managers should plan on him missing this one. With
Jaylen Brown (hand) in danger of sitting out another contest,
Derrick White,
Kristaps Porzingis,
Sam Hauser, and
Payton Pritchard could have more opportunities on the scoring end.

2 weeks agoBoston Celtics guard
Jaylen Brown (hand) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with Portland. The C's have a lock on the No. 1 spot in the Eastern Conference, so Brown has little incentive to play against the 21-win Trail Blazers.
Derrick White (back), off the injury report after missing Friday's game versus the Sacramento Kings, would likely see more scoring chances if Brown is sidelined for another contest. With
Jayson Tatum (knee) also questionable for Sunday,
Kristaps Porzingis,
Sam Hauser, and
Payton Pritchard might also get more involved.

2 weeks agoIndiana Pacers guard
Tyrese Haliburton (back) is questionable for Sunday's clash with the Heat. The 2020 No. 12 overall pick is coming off a rough showing on the scoring end in Friday's win over OKC, amassing just eight points. But he's dealing with back soreness, so maybe that was the reason for his shooting woes. With that said, Indiana has a slight lead over Miami to stay out of the Play-In picture. As a result, Haliburton should be out there on Sunday. Yet, if he's not, more offensive opportunities could go to
Pascal Siakam,
Aaron Nesmith,
Andrew Nembhard, and
Myles Turner.
T.J. McConnell, who had 16 points and 10 assists on Friday, would also be a preferred DFS option if Haliburton is sidelined.

2 weeks agoDallas Mavericks guard
Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable heading into Sunday's meeting with the Rockets. The MVP candidate didn't suit up on Friday night against Golden State because of a sore knee. However, Dallas is still fighting to remain out of the Play-In, so Doncic will likely do all he can to get out there. But if he's out again,
Kyrie Irving and
P.J. Washington, combining for 58 points versus the Warriors, are locks for all DFS contests. There is also a place in fantasy lineups for
Tim Hardaway Jr. and
Dante Exum.

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with Cleveland. There were reports that this was expected to happen, so the update isn't surprising. But now that the veteran is sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest, there is a growing cause for concern regarding his knee injury. At any rate,
Paul George and
James Harden should remain the Clippers' top offensive contributors while Leonard is on the shelf. At the same time,
Norman Powell,
Russell Westbrook,
Ivica Zubac, and
Amir Coffey could also benefit.

2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers center
Mo Bamba (illness) is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest on Saturday against the Grizzlies. He's been under the weather lately, and the team has listed him as questionable for Saturday's game. Bamba's absence opens up playing time for
Paul Reed, although his fantasy value is limited with
Joel Embiid (knee) back in the lineup. However, Saturday marks the start of a back-to-back for Philadelphia, which could bring a rest day for Embiid this weekend. The reigning MVP is officially regarded as questionable for Saturday.

2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward
Tobias Harris (knee) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against Memphis. A bone bruise on his left knee took Harris out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup against Miami, and he was expected to miss one or two games. It looks like his absence could be limited to only one game, although it wouldn't be surprising to see Philadelphia keep him out of action on Saturday with another game against San Antonio coming up on Sunday night.
Nicolas Batum logged 32 minutes as Harris' replacement in the starting unit on Thursday, finishing with zero points, four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and one block.

2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers point guard
Craig Porter Jr. (illness) will likely be back in the lineup on Saturday against the Lakers, as the team has listed him as probable for the matchup. The young guard has been battling an illness lately, missing four games. Porter Jr., who went undrafted last summer out of Wichita State, has demonstrated good upside during his rookie campaign, but he doesn't have any fantasy value with a healthy Cavaliers backcourt. The 24-year-old averages 5.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists for the season.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers point guard
Ty Jerome (ankle) will remain unavailable for Saturday's contest against the Lakers. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle in January, and it's unclear when Jerome will be game-ready again. The 26-year-old has made only two appearances for the Cavaliers since signing as a free agent last offseason, logging 15 total minutes. When he's eventually back in the lineup, he'll be the third-choice point guard behind
Darius Garland and
Craig Porter Jr..
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Isaac Okoro (toe) will miss a fourth straight contest on Saturday against the Lakers. He's been kept off the court by a toe sprain. The versatile talent will get the next opportunity to return on Sunday when Cleveland faces the Clippers. Okoro's absence gives
Georges Niang and
Sam Merrill a chance to figure more prominently in the rotation, but they are seeing very inconsistent playing time.
Caris LeVert will continue to lead the second unit on Saturday. It's a tough matchup against a team that has limited opposing benches to 45 percent shooting.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoLos Angeles Lakers center/forward
Anthony Davis (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Cleveland. The calendar makers have been cruel to the Lakers, as they face their second back-to-back of the week on Saturday and Sunday, and Davis could be rested for one of the games. His workload might also be monitored. Davis logged only 28 minutes on Tuesday versus Toronto before putting in a 38-minute shift the next night against Washington. Both of the weekend's games are tough matchups on paper for Davis, but he's playing some great basketball right now. Since the All-Star break, the Lakers star has posted 24.5 points, 14.4 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, and 1.3 steals.
