2 weeks agoAtlanta Hawks guard
Trae Young (Achilles) will play on Sunday against the Bucks. The Achilles issue has plagued him nearly the entire year. However, he hasn't missed a game in weeks, so fantasy managers weren't concerned about his availability for this one. Young has averaged 26.0 points, 9.3 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in four meetings with Milwaukee this season. Unfortunately, he's shot a rough 21.4% from deep during those contests.

2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers guard
Anfernee Simons (forearm) will play on Sunday versus the Knicks. He was on the Injury report due to forearm soreness, so fantasy managers had a feeling he'd be good to go for this one. While his absence likely would have resulted in a start for
Dalano Banton, the latter could remain involved with
Scoot Henderson (concussion) sidelined.

2 weeks agoMilwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) will play on Sunday versus Atlanta. It's common to see him listed on the Injury Report for one reason or another. But this time, he made an appearance due to a sprained left foot. Yet, it won't be enough to keep Antetokounmpo off the floor. With that said, the multi-time All-Star has averaged 29.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals in three meetings with the Hawks this season. While he's always a must-start in any redraft format, his DFS value is higher on Sunday, especially with
Damian Lillard (illness) sidelined.

2 weeks agoNew York Knicks guard
Jalen Brunson (ankle) stated his recovery is "going well," adding he's been given the green light to participate in basketball activities. The 28-year-old expects to be ready for the postseason, although he hopes to return before the end of the regular season. Brunson has averaged 26.3 points and 7.4 assists throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Unfortunately, he suffered a sprained ankle nearly a month ago in a loss to the Lakers. While he remains on the shelf,
Miles McBride (groin) should stay atop the depth chart. Yet, with McBride and
Cameron Payne (ankle) both sidelined,
Delon Wright could find himself in the starting lineup, with
Landry Shamet and
Tyler Kolek coming in for relief.

2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Knicks. He's already missed nine-straight contests. But the Trail Blazers aren't expected to make the Play-In, so it's tough to say if Grant will be back on the floor at some point before the end of the season. With
Anfernee Simons (forearm) questionable and
Scoot Henderson (concussion) out,
Toumani Camara,
Shaedon Sharpe, and
Deni Avdija could be more productive than usual.
Dalano Banton may also see a healthy uptick in work, giving him added value for fantasy managers.

2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (Achilles) is expected to play on Sunday night against Minnesota. The veteran has averaged 13.8 points and 6.1 rebounds this season, both down from the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's appeared in 69 games. Harris didn't suit up for Friday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, opening the door for
Tim Hardaway Jr. to enter the starting lineup. While Harris' anticipated availability should mean fewer scoring opportunities for Hardaway and others, the expected absence of
Cade Cunningham (calf) should keep everyone more involved than usual.

2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons guard
Dennis Schroder (quadriceps) is expected to play on Sunday versus Minnesota. Schroder is coming off another solid outing, amassing 17 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds in Friday's win over the Cavaliers. If he's upgraded from probable, fantasy managers should consider him a must-start, assuming
Cade Cunningham (calf) misses a fourth-consecutive contest. However, if both men are ruled out,
Marcus Sasser could find his way into the starting lineup, with
Tim Hardaway Jr.,
Jalen Duren,
Ausar Thompson, and
Malik Beasley in line for more scoring opportunities. That would also apply to
Tobias Harris (Achilles), who is listed as probable.

2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons guard
Cade Cunningham (calf) is doubtful heading toward Sunday's meeting with the Timberwolves. If he doesn't suit up, it will mark his fourth-straight absence. However, the Pistons are going to the playoffs, so the team needs him healthy.
Dennis Schroder (quadriceps), who is probable, will likely remain in the starting lineup at the one.
Marcus Sasser, coming off a four-point effort in Friday's win over Cleveland, should play better this time around.

2 weeks agoCharlotte Hornets center
Mark Williams (foot) won't play on Sunday versus New Orleans. The Hornets aren't going to the playoffs, so it's unknown how much more fantasy managers will have him in their lineups. Williams next opportunity to get on the floor will be on Monday against the visiting Jazz. But as far as Sunday's contest is concerned,
Jusuf Nurkic, amassing six points, nine boards, five assists, one steal, and one block in his last start on March 21, will likely roll with the first five.
Moussa Diabate should also see extra work from off the bench, giving him streaming potential for category participants in need of a reliable rebounder.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoNew York Knicks guard
Cameron Payne (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against Portland, marking his second-straight absence.
Jalen Brunson (ankle) and
Miles McBride (groin) are also out, so the Knicks may continue to rely on
Delon Wright, who had 12 points in Friday's win over the Bucks, to fill the hole in the starting lineup.
Landry Shamet, who had 13 points in that one, and
Tyler Kolek should also see some meaningful minutes from off the bench.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoNew York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (groin) will remain out for Sunday's matchup with the Blazers. McBride had been filling in for
Jalen Brunson (ankle). However, the Knicks now have even bigger issues, with
Cameron Payne (ankle) also sidelined by a sprain. As a result,
Delon Wright, coming off a 12-point effort in Friday's win over the Bucks, will likely stay in the starting lineup.
Landry Shamet, who had 13 points in that one, and
Tyler Kolek should also see more involvement.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers guard
Scoot Henderson (concussion) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. He's now in concussion protocol, although his return to the floor could hinge on Portland's ability to earn a Play-In spot. With
Anfernee Simons (forearm) questionable, the Blazers could be even more thin in the backcourt. But regardless of Simons' availability,
Dalano Banton could see some meaningful minutes.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers guard
Anfernee Simons (forearm) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The Trail Blazers likely aren't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's hard to gauge just how severe his injury is. With that said, Simons' absence could surely open the door for added production from
Shaedon Sharpe and
Deni Avdija.
Scoot Henderson's (concussion) absence should also mean
Dalano Banton could see some meaningful work, even more so if
Jerami Grant (knee) remains out.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoCleveland Cavaliers guard
Ty Jerome (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Clippers, marking his third-consecutive absence. The Cavs are on track to finish as the top team in the Eastern Conference. However, the team will need to figure out how to keep the ship afloat without arguably their top bench option. While
De'Andre Hunter is the favorite to claim most of the surplus minutes from off the bench,
Craig Porter Jr., who had nine points, five boards, and three steals in Friday's loss to Detroit, could find his way back to the floor.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoLos Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The Clippers play back-to-back contests, so Leonard will likely be back on Monday night against the Orlando Magic. In the meantime,
Nicolas Batum is the favorite to take over at the four spot, with the veteran averaging 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in eight starts during the 2024-25 campaign.
Bogdan Bogdanovic should also be more involved on the offensive end behind
James Harden and
Norman Powell.
