Portland Trail Blazers forward
Toumani Camara (ankle) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Spurs. The Blazers are already down
Jerami Grant (knee),
Deni Avdija (thumb),
Scoot Henderson (concussion), and
Deandre Ayton (calf).
Anfernee Simons (forearm) remains questionable. As a result, Camara should be busy on Sunday night, so he should be considered a must-start in any fantasy setup.

Portland Trail Blazers forward
Deni Avdija (thumb) won't play on Sunday against the Spurs. The Trail Blazers are barely alive for the postseason. However, the team will need to figure out how to win on Sunday night without one of their top producers. To make matters worse,
Jerami Grant (knee),
Scoot Henderson (concussion), and
Deandre Ayton (calf) are out, with
Toumani Camara (ankle) and
Anfernee Simons (forearm) still questionable. With that in mind,
Shaedon Sharpe and
Dalano Banton could be busier than usual, with
Kris Murray,
Matisse Thybulle, and
Donovan Clingan potentially in line for bigger roles on the offensive end.

Toronto Raptors forward
Scottie Barnes (hand) won't suit up on Sunday against the Nets, marking his second-consecutive absence. Barnes was absent for Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result,
Jonathan Mogbo entered the starting lineup and finished with six points, eight rebounds, and one block. However,
Jakob Poeltl (hand) and
Immanuel Quickley (rest) are also out for this one, so Mogbo should see a bump in production behind
Ochai Agbaji,
Ja'Kobe Walter,
Jamal Shead, and
RJ Barrett.

Los Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James (groin) is available for Sunday's meeting with OKC. The Lakers are hoping to lock up the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference. However, Los Angeles has a tough task on the horizon versus arguably the best team in the National Basketball Association. With that in mind, James struggled the last time he faced the Thunder back in November, finishing with only 12 points while committing five turnovers.

Toronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (rest) won't play against the Nets on Sunday afternoon. Quickley may only suit up just a few more times before the Raptors call it a year. But as far as Sunday's contest is concerned,
Jamal Shead, who had 10 points and two steals in his last start, should once again fill the void in the rotation. Shead may be more productive if
Scottie Barnes (hand) isn't available.

Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (hand) won't play on Sunday against the Nets. It's unknown how many more times Poeltl will see work for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, considering the Raptors aren't going to the postseason. But as far as Sunday's matinee is concerned,
Orlando Robinson, who had 14 points, five rebounds, and one steal in his last start, should fill the void in the rotation. It's also worth noting that Poeltl didn't play when these clubs last met on March 26, with Robinson amassing 23 points and 12 rebounds as a member of the starting lineup.

April 6, 2025
Brooklyn 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.

April 6, 2025
Brooklyn Nets center
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.

April 6, 2025
Indiana 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.

April 5, 2025
Milwaukee 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.

April 5, 2025
Memphis 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

Detroit 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.

April 5, 2025
Detroit 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.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Pistons PR
April 5, 2025
Detroit 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.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
April 5, 2025
Miami 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.
