Blake Griffin is Questionable for Sunday
6 years agoDetroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 1 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Griffin has been dealing with left knee soreness the last few weeks, so that's not good for the Pistons as they roll into the playoffs. Thon Maker would draw the start if Griffin is unable to play. Andre Drummond would see more work as well. Griffin might not be a reliable DFS option even if he plays because his knee is clearly not 100 percent right now.

Blake Griffin To Start On Monday
2 years agoBoston Celtics forward Blake Griffin will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Celtics are shorthanded here with both Marcus Smart (ankle) and Robert Williams III (knee) both ruled out. That being said, Griffin will make the start at center, while Derrick White serves as the point guard. White is a solid play with Smart out, while Griffin is going to have his value limited. Both Horford and Grant Williams should see action at center, which is going to limit Griffin's abilities. Fantasy managers should consider Griffin a deep league streaming choice for Monday.

Blake Griffin Moves Into Starting Five On Monday
2 years agoBoston Celtics forward Blake Griffin will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Veteran big man Al Horford (back) is going to sit this game out, which gives Griffin a chance to start. Despite the move to the starting unit, Griffin doesn't offer a ton of upside in terms of fantasy value. He could be someone worth considering in deep leagues, but won't be asked to do much with a majority of this roster healthy.

Blake Griffin Moves Into Starting Five
2 years agoBoston Celtics forward Blake Griffin will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. The Celtics have decided to rest Al Horford (back) after he played 33 minutes during Friday's game. Griffin will take over his spot in the starting five for this contest. The 33-year-old hasn't been very productive through his four appearances with Boston this season. He'll have minimal fantasy value and won't be a recommended streaming option for Saturday's slate.

Blake Griffin Available For Game 3
3 years agoBrooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin (ankle) is available for Game 3 against the Boston Celtics. The All-Star forward hasn't played this postseason and isn't expected to do much on Saturday. In fact, Griffin has played a total of six minutes over the last 11 games. It's unlikely that head coach Steve Nash decides to change his gameplan now. Griffin should have a minimal role off the bench, assuming he plays at all. Fantasy managers can ignore him right now.
