6 days agoSan Antonio Spurs center
Victor Wembanyama (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Detroit Pistons due to right ankle injury management. As the Spurs sit near the bottom of the Western Conference standings, they will let their young superstar rest. The prized rookie will end his season on a high note after collecting 34 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists in a thrilling victory over the defending champion Denver Nuggets on Friday. Wembanyama is the heavy favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award after a sensational first NBA season.
Zach Collins (thumb) is questionable to play, and if he ends up sitting out, too,
Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely see as many minutes as he can handle in the season finale.

6 days agoMemphis Grizzlies guard
Luke Kennard (knee) is out for Sunday's season finale against the Denver Nuggets. This will be his sixth straight game on the sidelines because of a left knee injury. The Grizzlies have been ravaged by injuries all season long, and they will continue to rely on a group of young players for their final game of the season. Fantasy managers can expect
GG Jackson II,
Jake LaRavia, and
Scotty Pippen Jr. to lead the backcourt.

6 days agoLos Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (knee) is set to miss the final regular season game against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. This will be the eighth consecutive game he will be sidelined because of right knee inflammation. The injury concerns continue for Leonard, and it is a mystery if he will be able to play in the first round of the playoffs. The Clippers clinched the fourth seed in the Western Conference and have nothing to play for in Sunday's contest, so they very well could rest other players or limit the minutes of their starters.
P.J. Tucker,
Amir Coffey, and
Brandon Boston Jr. are all potential options to see a heavier workload as the regular season comes to an end.

6 days agoMemphis Grizzlies guard
Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale with the Nuggets. Williams Jr. will miss his 17th consecutive game with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon.
Scotty Pippen Jr. and
Jordan Goodwin could be solid DFS options and will see many extra minutes with most of the Grizzlies roster sitting out Sunday.

6 days agoLos Angeles Clippers guard
James Harden (foot) is considered questionable for Sunday's contest against the Houston Rockets because of right foot inflammation. It would not be surprising to see the Clippers play it safe and rest their veteran guard, as Los Angeles is already locked into the fourth seed in the Western Conference. Even if Harden does suit up, his playing time might be limited. The 34-year-old took the court on Friday against the Utah Jazz but ended up seeing 10 minutes of action. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Sunday to get final confirmation on Harden's playing status.

6 days 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.

7 days 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.

7 days 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.

7 days 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.

7 days 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.

7 days 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.

1 week 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.

1 week 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.

1 week 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.
--Andrew Lennox - RotoBallerSource: Brandon Rahbar
1 week 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.
