Wed Apr 318:35Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go On WednesdayGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play against Memphis on Wednesday. Milwaukee finishes off a back-to-back, and Giannis has been upgraded from probable to available. The team is going to need a monster shift from him, with Damian Lillard (groin) and Khris Middleton (ankle) out of the lineup. Additionally, Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis should play a larger part on offense, with two of Milwaukee's three top scorers sitting out the contest.

Wed Apr 315:12Kelly Olynyk Won’t Play WednesdayKelly OlynykCCelticsFree Agent
Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The reeling Raptors will give Olynyk a maintenance day on Wednesday, but fantasy managers should have the playmaking big man available for Friday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. With Jakob Poeltl (finger), Chris Boucher (knee), and Jontay Porter (personal) all sidelined, Toronto effectively has no traditional big men left standing against star defensive anchor Rudy Gobert. The Stifle Tower could feast on the glass in this one, as it looks like undrafted rookie Mouhamadou Gueye will fill the starting void down low for the Raps. We would advise staying away for fantasy purposes in most situations.

Wed Apr 314:59Mike Conley Resting Against RaptorsMike ConleyPGGrizzliesFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) is out for Wednesday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. The 52-23 T-Wolves will sit Conley down against a depleted Raptors bunch, and the veteran floor general is likely to return for Friday's showdown with the Phoenix Suns. Jordan McLaughlin is shooting the lights out lately, burying 65.7% of his three-pointers over his last 15 games with averages of 5.9 points, 2.7 dimes, and 2.3 triples in 15.1 minutes during this period. His hot streak could earn him a trip to Minnesota's starting group at point guard on Wednesday, making McLaughlin an interesting DFS choice in a cupcake matchup against a Toronto defense yielding the seventh-most points per game (118.5).

Wed Apr 314:25Bucks Holding Out Khris MiddletonKhris MiddletonSFPistonsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. After falling to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, the Bucks will manage the left ankle of Middleton on the second night of their back-to-back. The veteran forward should be good to go for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Jae Crowder figures to enter the starting five in Middleton's absence, but he's only averaged 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.0 threes in 23 games as a starter in 2023-24. Fantasy managers can do better on Wednesday's nine-game slate, but Memphis is giving up the second-most treys to opposing small forwards (3.1).

Wed Apr 314:03Damian Lillard Sitting Out Against GrizzliesDamian LillardPGTrailblazersFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) is listed as out for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's unclear when Lillard sustained his strained right groin, but the injury will cost him a second straight game on the second night of Milwaukee's back-to-back after missing last Saturday's win over the Atlanta Hawks for personal reasons. The superstar guard's next shot to take the floor comes on Friday versus the Toronto Raptors. Since Patrick Beverley (ankle) is out, the Bucks are essentially without a true point guard for this one. Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play, and he's averaging 33.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1.1 steals through seven games without Lillard this year. The Greek Freak should be able to dominate the Grizzlies, who have the third-worst opponent rebounding percentage (48.0%) in basketball.

Wed Apr 308:57Anthony Davis Expected To Play On WednesdayAnthony DavisPFNO HornetsFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is expected to be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back against the Wizards on Wednesday. Davis recorded a 21-point, 12-rebound double-double with 10-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's 128-111 win over Toronto, logging 28 minutes of action. The veteran star missed the second leg of a back-to-back last week, but that came following a 52-minute outing, and it looks like he will be good to go this time around versus Washington. Davis should dominate against a team that allows centers to shoot over 60 percent from the field and gives up a league-high 17.7 rebounds per 48 minutes to the position.

Wed Apr 308:52LeBron James Likely To Play Versus WashingtonLeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will likely play on Wednesday versus Washington. The veteran star, who continues to carry an ankle injury, skipped one game in a back-to-back situation a week ago, but Lakers head coach Darvin Ham expects to see him back on the court Wednesday night after James logged 29 minutes in Tuesday's 128-111 win over Toronto. James opened the final month of the regular season with a 23-point outing, shooting a very impressive 10-for-12 from the field. He also had a game-high nine assists. Washington owns the third-worst defensive rating in the league, meaning James should fill up the stat sheet with ease on Wednesday.

Tue Apr 220:44Kawhi Leonard Dealing With "New" Knee SorenessKawhi LeonardSFSpursFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has already been ruled out for Tuesday's meeting with the Kings. While many had assumed it was a routine night off for Leonard, head coach Ty Lue indicated that the veteran's knee issue is "new" and that he began experiencing soreness after the team's win over Charlotte on Sunday. There's hope he'll be back in the lineup on Thursday versus the Nuggets. For now, he traveled back to Los Angeles for treatment. With that said, Leonard has had an MVP-caliber season. But more importantly, he's appeared in 68 games, his most since the 2016-17 campaign. Of course, fantasy managers will be monitoring this situation closely. However, Norman Powell should get more action and scoring chances behind James Harden, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook until Leonard is back in the lineup.

Norman PowellFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This comes out of nowhere, as Leonard was not spotted on the original injury report with his right knee soreness. The 32-year-old six-time All-Star will miss his first game since March 10, and he'll hope to return during the fantasy finals for Thursday's clash against the defending-champion Denver Nuggets after returning to LA for treatment on Tuesday. Sixth man Norman Powell will vault into the Clips' starting lineup in a favorable matchup against the Kings, who are giving up the fifth-most threes per game (2.9) to opposing small forwards. Powell has hit double scoring figures in 11 straight appearances, averaging 16.3 points on 50.8% shooting from the field, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.0 triples in 27.9 minutes covering this span.

Tue Apr 209:50Patrick Beverley On Track To Play Versus WashingtonPatrick BeverleyPGRocketsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (wrist) is considered probable for Tuesday's clash with the Wizards. He's carried the tag ahead of a couple of games now but has featured in both. Beverly had a large part to play in the last game as well, with Damian Lillard (groin) absent from the lineup for personal reasons. Lillard will be missing again on Tuesday due to a groin injury, giving Beverley another opportunity to put in a big shift. He notched 18 points, five rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 36 minutes against Atlanta on Saturday. The veteran faces another leaky defense on Tuesday, so Beverley could cook up a good all-around fantasy line again.

Mon Apr 123:05Khris Middleton Draws Probable Tag For TuesdayKhris MiddletonSFPistonsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards. His presence on the injury report is nothing new, so barring a setback, he should be out there. The 32-year-old had a strong showing in Saturday's win over Toronto, finishing with 21 points, six boards, and six assists. He also shot 9-for-10 from the field and made all three attempts from behind the arc. With that in mind, Damian Lillard (groin) won't play, so Middleton has a chance of having another stellar outing.

Mon Apr 123:00Giannis Antetokounmpo Likely To Face WashingtonGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to play on Tuesday versus the Wizards. The multi-time MVP is making another appearance on the league's official injury report. However, this isn't anything new. But considering Milwaukee wants to keep a firm grasp on the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, Antetokounmpo should continue to suit up. At any rate, he's averaged 36.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.0 steals in two meetings with Washington during the 2023-24 campaign, putting him on the map for DFS participants. Yet, with Damian Lillard (groin) sidelined, those numbers could be even better.

Mon Apr 120:58Klay Thompson Tagged As Probable For TuesdayKlay ThompsonSGWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Thompson recently missed a game due to this knee issue, but should be available for the second straight game on Tuesday. He was able to play 29 minutes during his return to the court on Sunday. The assumption is that he'll have a similar workload on Tuesday, assuming he plays. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update.

Mon Apr 118:44Taj Gibson Ruled Out MondayTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons forward/center Taj Gibson (hamstring) won't be in the lineup against Memphis on Monday. The veteran has been downgraded from doubtful to out. Gibson likely wouldn't have seen time on the court anyway, as he's only played in one game for the Pistons since signing with the team on March 6. His next opportunity to play will come on Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Mon Apr 116:42Damian Lillard Out With Groin StrainDamian LillardPGTrailblazersFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. After missing Saturday's road victory over the Atlanta Hawks for personal reasons, Lillard is now being listed as out with a strained right groin. The superstar guard's next opportunity to take the floor will arrive on the second half of Milwaukee's back-to-back on Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies, and he should be deemed day-to-day until more is known about the injury. In Lillard's absence, veteran Patrick Beverley figures to be called upon for a second straight spot start at the one after joining the first unit against Atlanta. In three games as a starter for the Bucks this season, Beverley is averaging 12.0 points, 5.3 rebounds. 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals, and 2.3 threes and will be a great DFS budget play against a Wizards defense yielding the fourth-most fantasy points to point guards.

Mon Apr 116:32LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable Against RaptorsAnthony DavisPFNO HornetsFree Agent
LeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (knee) are both listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Toronto Raptors. Tuesday marks the fifth outing of a six-game road trip for the Lakers, with another game on tap in a quick turnaround for Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. James, dealing with an ankle problem, and Davis, managing a knee issue, have been on LA's injury report essentially all season, and one or both could sit out on the front end of the back-to-back against a Raptors group that hasn't won a game since March 3. D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves may be in line for expanded workloads if James and/or Davis are out on Tuesday, with Russell averaging 22.4 points, 10.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 3.3 treys across 10 games without James this year and signifying an elite fantasy play in these scenarios.

Mon Apr 109:49Taj Gibson Doubtful For MondayTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons forward/center Taj Gibson (hamstring) is considered doubtful to play versus Memphis on Monday. The veteran big man is battling a hamstring strain. Gibson has featured just once for Detroit since joining the club on March 6 -- an 11-minute effort against Boston -- and his absence doesn't impact the team in any way. Jalen Duren leads Detroit's frontcourt with the support of James Wiseman, Tosan Evbuomwan, and Chimezie Metu. The Pistons bigs face a tough challenge on Monday against Jaren Jackson Jr., who won the Defensive Player of the Year Award a season ago.

Sun Mar 3118:58Rudy Gobert Cleared For Sunday's ActionRudy GobertCJazzFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) is good to go for Sunday's matchup against Chicago. He will make a fifth consecutive appearance despite battling a sprained rib. The injury doesn't appear to affect him, as Gobert looked fantastic in his last outing against Nikola Jokic and Denver, tallying 21 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks. He meets another Balkan big man on Sunday in Nikola Vucevic. Gobert recorded a 12-point, 16-rebound double-double against Vucevic and the Bulls in this season's first head-to-head meeting in February.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will play on Sunday night against San Antonio. The 34-year-old missed the Dubs previous contest versus Charlotte because of a knee issue. However, he's good to go for this one. Thompson played relatively well in March, averaging 18.1 points while shooting 40.8% from behind the arc. He's played even better in three meetings with San Antonio this season, making him a viable DFS option in any format.

LeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (knee) will play on Sunday against Brooklyn. Both players have been upgraded from questionable to available. The two will be looking to finish off a good month in style. James has posted 24.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 9.4 assists in March, while Davis boasts 11 double-doubles from 12 appearances this month, averaging 22.8 points and 14.5 rebounds with 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals.
