Luka Doncic Leads The Charge In The Game 2 Victory

Will Barton Ruled Out Indefinitely
Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) has been ruled out indefinitely, which means he probably won't make an appearance in the playoffs. The team said his right knee isn't improving, so he'll remain on the sideline. Michael Porter Jr. and Torrey Craig will continue to gain playing time and fantasy value without Barton available. Porter […]
T.J. Warren Believes He'll Be Ready For Tuesday
Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (foot) was able to participate in Sunday's practice. They open up their playoff series against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Warren missed the final two seeding games due to plantar fasciitis. The team does not believe it's as serious as teammate Domantas Sabonis. It's basically an injury that needs rest, […]
Glenn Robinson III Out At Least A Week
Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (oblique) will be sidelined for the next 7-10 days. He was limited by a hip pointer earlier in the bubble, but now is dealing with an oblique muscle strain. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up at all during the postseason. Robinson was likely going to see […]
Nassir Little Ruled Out For Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (dehydration) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

Gordon Hayward Left On Crutches
Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) left the arena on crutches after Monday's Game 1 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Danuel House Expected To Play Versus Thunder
Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (toe) is expected to be available for Game 1 versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.

OG Anunoby Not Playing Friday
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Most of the Raptors starters are going to rest in this fairly meaningless game. Terence Davis and Norman Powell are expected to see significant playing time here, so both should be reliable DFS options. However, that is assuming […]
Michael Porter Jr. Resting Versus Raptors
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This appears to be a smart move considering Porter's injury history and he's averaging 33.3 minutes per game during the bubble. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect any of the Nuggets starters to see much playing time in this […]

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson posted career-highs in points, 24, and rebounds, 11, along with three triples en route to his first career double-double.

Tobias Harris Out On Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He'll join Joel Embiid (ankle), Josh Richardson (rest), and Al Horford (knee) on the sideline for this one. Furkan Korkmaz, Glenn Robinson III and Matisse Thybulle will see plenty of minutes and increased usage in this one. Thybulle […]

T.J. Warren Active Versus Heat
Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (foot) will be active for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable, but it sounds like Warren is good to go for this one.
