OG Anunoby Racks Up 28 Points in Monday's Loss
New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby did very little wrong on Monday night in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, notching 28 points, five rebounds, one assist, and two blocks in a 115-111 loss. He did the damage on a 9-for-13 effort from the field, finishing 3-for-7 from downtown and 7-for-9 at the charity stripe. Anunoby was just one field goal shy of setting his new playoff scoring record. The 28-year-old always finds ways to impact the game and has been a key cog for the Knicks throughout the playoffs. In the Finals, Anunoby has yet to score fewer than 17 points and has registered multiple blocks in back-to-back games.

Karl-Anthony Towns Quiet in Game 3 Loss Monday Night
New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns had a quiet outing in Monday's Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, scoring only 11 points on a 4-for-10 effort from the field in a 115-111 home loss. Additionally, Towns was limited to one assist and eight rebounds, failing to notch a double-double for only the second time in his past seven games. While Towns struggled to make an impact on the offensive end, his defensive work was impressive. In 38 minutes, Towns blocked two shots and recorded three steals. Expect Towns to try to rebound offensively in Game 4 on Wednesday night.

Jalen Brunson Records 32 Points in Losing Effort
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson led his team with 32 points in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, but his efforts weren't enough in a 115-111 loss. The Knicks hosted their first Finals game since 1999 and struggled to score in the second half. However, Brunson made some big buckets and had a strong individual performance. He went 3-for-5 from outside and finished 11-for-25 overall from the field. His line included five rebounds and five assists, though Brunson also committed five turnovers. Brunson's scoring wasn't efficient in the first couple of games against the Spurs, giving the Knicks hope that the best is still to come from him. So far in the Finals, the star guard has averaged 27.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.7 steals per game.

De'Aaron Fox Comes Up Clutch in Game 3 Against Knicks
San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox had another frustrating evening on Monday in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks, but he made key plays late in the game to help the team earn a 115-111 road win. With 12.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Fox hit a jumper to give San Antonio a five-point lead. A couple of minutes earlier, he had an impressive block on Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns. Fox recorded two blocks in total and snagged one steal. Offensively, he finished the night with 12 points and a game-high eight assists. After his 20-point outburst in Game 2, Fox's scoring contribution was modest due to a 4-for-14 record from the field. He missed all five attempts from three-point range. The two-time All-Star remains a volatile fantasy option in these playoffs.

Stephon Castle Sparks Into Life in Monday's Win
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle contributed 23 points as the team beat the New York Knicks 115-111 in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday. The 21-year-old sophomore also had five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block, going 8-for-15 from the field with a 2-for-5 effort from deep. After being quiet in the first two games of the Finals, Castle made a big impact on both ends. San Antonio's postseason success has often been linked to Castle's performance. His scoring efficiency has been more consistent, averaging 19.8 points in San Antonio's wins versus 17.3 points in losses. Through the first three games of the Finals, Castle has posted averages of 18.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists.

Victor Wembanyama Leads Spurs to Game 3 Victory Over Knicks
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama had one of his best performances of the 2026 playoffs on Monday night, tallying 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two steals, and three blocks in a 115-111 road win over the New York Knicks. He went 11-for-18 from the field, including 2-for-4 from downtown, and missed only one of his nine free-throw attempts. This was a perfect response by Wembanyama after his costly mistake late in Game 2. Impressively, the French superstar had only one turnover in Monday's win after giving away the ball 10 times in the first two games. Wembanyama is averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals in the Finals.

Thomas Sorber Unlikely to Play in Summer League
Oklahoma City Thunder center Thomas Sorber (knee) is unlikely to be ready for Summer League, according to Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman. Thunder general manager Sam Presti said Sorber has impressed the organization with his rehab work after missing the 2025-26 season because of a torn right ACL. The 20-year-old was selected 15th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft after averaging 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 2.0 blocks at Georgetown. Until Oklahoma City gives a firmer ramp-up plan, Sorber is more of a long-range stash than a player to chase for early-season fantasy production.

Celtics Not Shopping Jaylen Brown or Derrick White
The Boston Celtics have not considered trading Jaylen Brown or Derrick White this offseason, ESPN's Brian Windhorst reports. A year after a roster overhaul stoked trade speculation about both players, Windhorst said two weeks before the draft that he has not heard "one iota of Jaylen Brown truly being available," with the same true of White. The fantasy read centers on continuity. Brown earned Second-Team All-NBA honors as Boston's No. 1 option last season, posting career highs of 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists with Jayson Tatum out for 62 games. With Tatum back next season, expect Brown's usage and counting stats to settle below that peak, while White's steady scoring, three-point volume, and defensive stats make him the more stable multi-category hold.

Trail Blazers Willing to Chase Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Portland Trail Blazers are reportedly willing to pursue Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo even without long-term contract assurances, with the New York Post citing ESPN's Shams Charania that Portland is interested "no matter the risk." Antetokounmpo remains on Milwaukee's roster and is still one of the strongest fantasy producers in the league. The 31-year-old averaged 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 2025-26, keeping him firmly in the first-round fantasy conversation. If Portland's pursuit ever turns into a serious offer, the team's young roster would need to be re-evaluated around a massive usage shift. Until then, Antetokounmpo's value remains elite, with his offseason trade status carrying the bigger fantasy swing.

Mario Hezonja Staying with Real Madrid Unless NBA Calls
Real Madrid forward Mario Hezonja is unlikely to leave the club unless an NBA opportunity arrives, according to Eurohoops. The 31-year-old is under contract through 2029, with Eurohoops reporting that his deal contains only an NBA opt-out. Hezonja is coming off a strong season in Europe, averaging 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 0.8 steals across 44 EuroLeague appearances while also winning Liga Endesa MVP. His domestic production was even stronger at 17.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. For fantasy managers, Hezonja remains only a watch-list name unless an NBA team offers a real rotation path, but his scoring and rebounding profile would make him worth revisiting if that changes.

Raptors Extend Bobby Webster After Playoff Return
The Toronto Raptors extended general manager Bobby Webster and added executive vice president duties to his title, Reuters reports. Toronto also extended front-office executives Dan Tolzman, Keith Boyarsky, and Tyla Flexman, keeping its personnel group intact after a 46-36 season and seven-game first-round loss to Cleveland. Webster has been with the organization since 2013, and the Raptors are 591-455 with nine playoff berths during his tenure. For fantasy, the continuity matters because the same front office is now shaping the next phase around Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, and Immanuel Quickley. Toronto ranked third in assists but only 21st in scoring, so Webster's offseason priority should be adding shooting and cleaner usage lanes around the team's top creators.

Hawks Extend Quin Snyder to Multi-Year Contract
The Atlanta Hawks and head coach Quin Snyder have agreed to a multi-year contract extension, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The move follows the extension and promotion of Onsi Saleh to president of basketball operations, locking in the franchise's leadership for the long term. Snyder, who passed 500 career wins in March, steered Atlanta to a 20-6 finish after the All-Star break and a sixth-place seed. For fantasy managers, the continuity is the story: stable roles and player development under Snyder have fueled the rise of cornerstone Jalen Johnson, who earned his first All-Star nod, and back-to-back Most Improved winners Dyson Daniels (2025) and reigning honoree Nickeil Alexander-Walker (2026). With Saleh holding the No. 8 and No. 23 picks, that system stays intact heading into a pivotal draft.

Mitchell Robinson Available for Game 3
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) is available for Monday's Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs, per the latest NBA injury report. The 28-year-old keeps playing through a fractured right fifth metacarpal that was surgically repaired before the series, suiting up in a protective brace. Robinson holds his reserve role behind Karl-Anthony Towns, averaging roughly 5.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks in 14.2 minutes this postseason. Low minutes and shaky free-throw shooting cap his DFS ceiling, leaving the value in his rebounding and rim protection. The bigger story is the matchup: Robinson's defense and offensive boards against Victor Wembanyama have helped swing New York's first two wins, and his availability keeps the Knicks' best Wemby answer on the floor with a 3-0 lead in reach.

Bulls Hire Alex Kaufman as Windy City Bulls General Manager
The Chicago Bulls are hiring Alex Kaufman as general manager of their G-League affiliate, the Windy City Bulls, and adding Jarrett Sutton as a scout, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. Kaufman, who ran the Pelicans' G League operation last season, and Sutton both spent six years alongside new Bulls executive vice president Bryson Graham in New Orleans. The moves continue Graham's front-office buildout, which already added senior vice president Stephen Mervis and player personnel VP Acie Law last month. This one carries no immediate fantasy impact. The longer-term read matters more: Graham is consolidating a Pelicans-rooted scouting and development pipeline ahead of a pivotal draft for a 31-51 team, and a sharper Windy City operation shapes how Chicago grows its young and two-way prospects worth tracking in deeper formats.

E.J. Liddell Agrees to Two-Year Deal with Greek Club Aris
Brooklyn Nets forward/center E.J. Liddell has agreed to a two-year deal with Greek EuroCup club Aris, with only the official announcement pending, Eurohoops reports. The 25-year-old played on an expiring two-way contract last season and was headed for free agency this summer. Liddell appeared in 26 games with five starts for Brooklyn in 2025-26, averaging 5.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.9 assists on 48.6 percent shooting, then flashed upside with 18.4 points per game across five April contests. He added 17.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in 26 G League games with Long Island. Aris is spending aggressively under new coach Vassilis Spanoulis to chase the EuroCup title. For dynasty and deep-league managers who stashed Liddell after that April surge, the signing closes the book on his NBA stock for now.
