12 hours agoThe New York Knicks are reportedly looking into forward Torrey Craig as a possible addition this offseason. Craig will be an unrestricted free agent this summer and the Knicks have a Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level exception worth roughly $12 million. Craig fits the mold as a 3-and-D veteran who would be a solid role player in defensive-minded head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation. If Craig is on the move this offseason, the Phoenix Suns will have to look at retooling their supporting cast, especially with a new coaching staff.--Dale JohnsonSource: Adam Taylor

12 hours agoMiami Heat forward/center Kevin Love is expected to start Sunday night against the Denver Nuggets. Love recently fell out of the rotation after sitting the final two games of the Eastern Conference Finals and the first game of the NBA Finals. Heat could use Love's shooting ability to space the floor against Denver's lengthy frontcourt. Love's return to the starting lineup may push Caleb Martin (illness) to the bench.--Dale JohnsonSource: Mike Singer

12 hours agoBoston Celtics forward Grant Williams is expected to receive interest from multiple teams this offseason. Williams will be a restricted free agent and may be due for a change of scenery. Williams was a DNP-CD in five playoff games for the Celtics before having a prominent role in the Eastern Conference Finals. Rival teams are expected to offer Williams a hefty contract which the Celtics will have to decide if they want to match. With Jaylen Brown eligible for a supermax contract extension, it could prove too costly to keep both.--Dale JohnsonSource: Steve Bulpett

12 hours agoThe San Antonio Spurs are expected to have some interest in New York Knicks guard Evan Fournier during this offseason. Fournier was pushed out of the rotation in New York and has expected to be traded. The Spurs have reportedly had some interest in making a deal for Fournier and would likely not have to give up much. The Spurs would have a mentor for projected first overall pick Victor Wembanyama and the Knicks would be able to unload some cap space as they look to retool this summer.--Dale JohnsonSource: Adam Taylor

12 hours agoMiami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (illness) will be available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night. Martin will suit up against the Denver Nuggets after missing Saturday's practice with an undisclosed illness. Martin shot poorly in Game 1 and may have been feeling some effects of the illness. If Martin is limited in any capacity, Kyle Lowry and Haywood Highsmith would likely see increased roles with Tyler Herro (hand) still out.--Dale JohnsonSource: Miami Heat

1 day agoMiami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) is good to go on Sunday against Denver. Vincent sprained his left ankle in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Boston Celtics and didn't suit up for Game 5. However, he's been good to go since then, although he has been a hit-or-miss fantasy producer during the postseason.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

1 day agoMiami Heat forward Caleb Martin (illness) is questionable ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Denver. He missed practice on Saturday, which isn't a good sign. However, with Martin being so valuable during the postseason, he'll likely do whatever it takes to get on the floor. At the same time, if he doesn't suit up on Sunday, Kevin Love could move back into the starting lineup. Unfortunately, Love hasn't been an impactful fantasy option, so managers should consider Haywood Highsmith, who had 18 points and two steals in Game 1.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

1 day agoMiami Heat center Bam Adebayo (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The 25-year-old has battled shoulder discomfort for quite some time. However, he has been playing through it while wearing a compression shirt for support. It certainly didn't appear to impact his performance in Game 1, as he finished with 26 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, and one block in 40 minutes. Considering Adebayo hasn't had any issues putting up points versus Denver all year, DFS managers should keep him in mind for Game 2.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

1 day agoMiami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hand) is out for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Denver. It seemed there was a chance he could be back after missing nearly all of the postseason with a hand injury. However, Herro won't return for this one, although he's worth monitoring ahead of Game 3 on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Caleb Martin (illness) is questionable, so Miami could be even more shorthanded versus the Nuggets, who are up 1-0 after winning the series opener. If Martin isn't available, Haywood Highsmith, fresh off an 18-point performance in Game 1, will see more than enough attention from DFS participants.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report

2 days agoNew York Knicks power forward Julius Randle has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle, the team announced on Saturday. Randle hurt his left ankle near the end of the regular season, missing the final five games, and also tweaked it in the first-round playoff series against Cleveland. The two-time All-Star will be able to resume basketball activities later this summer and is expected to be fully recovered for the start of the 2023-24 season. Randle completed his fourth season in New York averaging a career-high 25.1 points with 10.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

2 days agoSacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (thumb) has not ruled out offseason surgery on his right thumb. He was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture of the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb all the way back in December and Sabonis managed to play through the issue, helping the Kings end a 16-year postseason drought, but the team would obviously like to get him fully healthy for next season. Sabonis made the All-NBA Third Team this season and was named an All-Star for a third time, averaging 19.1 points, 12.3 rebounds and a career-high 7.3 assists.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: Sean Cunningham

2 days agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward Danuel House Jr. has picked up his $4.3m player option for the 2023-2024 season. The 29-year-old didn't have a lot of success in 2022-23, averaging only 4.8 points per game in 14.4 minutes, but he will get a fresh start under new head coach Nick Nurse and could play a larger role next season, depending on how the roster shapes up in the summer. Philadelphia's roster could look quite different in 2023-24, with James Harden, Jalen McDaniels, Georges Niang and Paul Reed becoming free agents.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: Adrian Wojnarowski

2 days agoThe Phoenix Suns are set to name Frank Vogel as their new head coach. Per reports, the Suns are finalizing a five-year, $31.25 million deal with Vogel, who has 11 years of experience working as a head coach in the NBA. He was last in charge of the Lakers, leading the team to the 2020 championship before leaving after the 2021-22 campaign. Vogel has also worked with Indiana and Orlando, becoming known as a defensive specialist. The 49-year-old has had the NBA's top-rated defense three times in his career.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

3 days agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard James Harden still has to make a big decision this off-season and the team's new head coach is going to make his pitch. During his introductory press conference, Nick Nurse said that he hopes Harden will return and run it back alongside Joel Embiid. Nurse also said that they offer him the best chance at winning it all. There have been a lot of conflicting reports on Harden's train of thought, so it was only a matter of time until Nurse was asked about it. The silver lining if Harden does walk away is the rumor that Fred VanVleet could be his replacement after some salary cap gymnastics.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: ESPN

3 days agoOklahoma City Thunder center Aleksej Pokusevski suffered a right humerus fracture during an off-season workout on Thursday and will be re-evaluated in four-to-six weeks. The 21-year-old missed most of this past season with injury issues as he was only able to play in a total of 34 games. This injury doesn't seem to affect his chances of playing at the beginning of the season, but it does jeopardize his off-season. His attention could be switched from improving to rehabbing while he'll be behind Chet Holmgren, who returns next year.--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: Clemente Almanza
