2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets guard
D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Raptors. The Nets have five games left on the schedule. However, Brooklyn isn't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's possible Russell is done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. With
Nicolas Claxton (rest) and
Cameron Johnson (back) also ruled out,
Keon Johnson,
Ziaire Williams, and
Trendon Watford may be the most reliable fantasy options, although
Tyrese Martin and
Drew Timme may also get more involved.

Nicolas Claxton (rest) won't play on Sunday against the visiting Raptors. The Nets are limping to the finish line, so Claxton may only make a few more appearances the rest of the way. With
Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) and
Noah Clowney (ankle) also sidelined,
Drew Timme, who has averaged 11.3 and 5.0 rebounds in four professional appearances, could find his way into the starting lineup or at least see enough minutes from off the bench to remain a practical streaming option.

2 weeks agoIndiana Pacers forward
Pascal Siakam (elbow) will miss Sunday's matchup in Denver. He had a monster outing on Friday in Utah, finishing with 22 points, four blocks, and three steals. However, the former Raptor won't suit up because of right olecranon bursitis. As a result,
Obi Toppin, who had 34 points and 10 rebounds in his only start of the year on March 17 (Siakam's last absence) is worth considering for fantasy purposes.

2 weeks agoMilwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play on Saturday versus the Heat. The foot sprain continues to be an issue. Fortunately, it won't be enough to keep the multi-time All-Star off the floor. Of course, Antetokounmpo is always a must-start in any redraft format. On the other hand, he's averaged only 24 points in two meetings with Miami this season, so DFS managers might have a tough time getting a return on their investment.

2 weeks agoMemphis Grizzlies guard
Ja Morant (illness) won't play on Saturday versus Detroit. He wasn't listed on the injury report throughout the day on Saturday. However, Morant won't suit up due to an illness. The late scratch is certainly frustrating for DFS participants and fantasy managers. But his absence should result in increased production from
Desmond Bane,
Jaren Jackson Jr., and
Scotty Pippen Jr.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Grizzlies PR
2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (heel) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. He has a sore heel, so he'll miss his second-consecutive game on Saturday night.
Ausar Thompson will continue to handle things at the four spot, with the 22-year-old amassing 15 points, seven boards, three steals, and two blocks in Friday's win over the Raptors. While Thompson remains a viable fantasy commodity, the return of
Cade Cunningham (calf) could result in a dip in scoring opportunities.

2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (calf) will suit up on Saturday against Memphis after missing the last six games because of a calf contusion. It's possible the 23-year-old plays fewer than the 35 minutes he's averaged throughout the 2024-25 campaign, but that doesn't mean he should be left out of fantasy lineups. With that in mind, Cunningham's return could result in a dip in production from
Dennis Schroder, who has amassed double-digit scoring performances in five of his last six appearances, all as a starter.

2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (lower leg) won't play on Saturday against Memphis. He recently had 21 points, 18 rebounds, and four blocks in Friday's win over the Raptors. He'll sit this one out, but fantasy managers are hoping things aren't too serious. With
Tobias Harris (heel) also out, the team will look to
Isaiah Stewart and
Ausar Thompson to handle most of the minutes at the four and the five spots, giving them both higher fantasy ceilings on Saturday night.

2 weeks agoMiami Heat guard
Tyler Herro (thigh) won't play on Saturday versus the Bucks. Herro recently had 35 points and nine rebounds in Thursday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he will miss Saturday's contest because of a thigh contusion.
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is also out, so
Kel'el Ware,
Bam Adebayo,
Duncan Robinson, and
Davion Mitchell are the favorites to lead the way offensively.

2 weeks agoNew York Knicks center
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Hawks. The Knicks will play the Suns on Sunday. As a result, he's expected to return for the second game of back-to-back outings.
Karl-Anthony Towns will remain in the middle, as expected. However, Robinson's absence should mean
Precious Achiuwa will see at least 20 minutes of action, with the former Raptor amassing 13 points, six rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

2 weeks agoNew York Knicks guard
Cameron Payne (ankle) will return from his four-game absence for Saturday's game against Atlanta. It's unknown if he'll see fewer minutes in his first game back from the layoff. But with
Jalen Brunson (ankle) and
Miles McBride (pelvis) still out, Payne will come off the bench behind
Delon Wright, likely resulting in less work for
Tyler Kolek and
Landry Shamet, with the latter posting double-digit scoring outings in three of the Knicks' previous four contests.

2 weeks agoNew York Knicks guard
Jalen Brunson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Hawks. However, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, he's expected to return from his month-long absence on Sunday versus the Suns. Fortunately,
Cameron Payne (ankle) is available and will come off the bench, likely meaning significantly less work for
Landry Shamet and
Tyler Kolek.
Delon Wright, averaging 7.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in six starts this season, will remain with the first five.

2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (heel) is questionable for Saturday's game against Memphis. The veteran has been bothered by heel soreness, most recently keeping him off the floor for Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors. Detroit is heading to the playoffs, so it's possible Harris gets a few more games off in order to be ready. Fortunately,
Cade Cunningham (calf) is probable, which will help lessen the blow. But if Harris remains out,
Ausar Thompson and
Malik Beasley, combining for 36 points versus the Raptors, should continue to receive more work, with one of them expected to stay in the starting lineup.

2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (calf) is probable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Grizzlies. He's missed the last six games because of a calf contusion. As a result,
Dennis Schroder has been filling in at the one, most recently amassing 16 points, seven assists, and one steal in Friday's 117-105 win over the Toronto Raptors. Schroder will likely head back to the bench, assuming Cunningham is officially cleared to suit up, decreasing his fantasy potential. Cunningham's presence should also lead to fewer scoring opportunities for
Tim Hardaway Jr. and
Malik Beasley, with
Marcus Sasser in danger of falling out of the rotation altogether.

2 weeks agoAtlanta Hawks guard
Trae Young (Achilles) will play on Saturday versus the visiting Knicks. Despite routinely appearing on the injury report throughout the season because of right Achilles Tendinitis, the former Oklahoma Sooner has only missed five games. He's had another quality year, averaging 24.1 points and 11.6 assists. Yet, Young has been even more productive on the scoring end in his four meetings with New York during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 27.5 points while shooting 37.5% from behind the arc.
