Fri Apr 517:43Joel Embiid Listed As Questionable For SaturdayJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies due to left knee recovery. After missing 29 games, the big man returned for two consecutive contests, leading the 76ers to victories. On Thursday, Embiid posted 29 points, four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal against the Heat. Philadelphia could be very shorthanded on Saturday, with Tyrese Maxey (hip), Tobias Harris (knee), and Mo Bamba (illness) also carrying questionable tags.

Thu Apr 423:25Jerami Grant Doubtful For FridayJerami GrantSF76ersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Grant's right hamstring sprain has kept him out of action for twelve straight games, and it is likely to continue Friday and beyond. Portland started listing Grant as doubtful weeks ago, but he's not suited up once since then. Grant's season may very well be over since the Trail Blazers can only compete for draft lottery picks. Jabari Walker, Dalano Banton, and Kris Murray all experience major minute increases in Grant's absence to provide fantasy value.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He missed Wednesday's tilt due to an ankle sprain and is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. If the 35-year-old veteran guard is able to suit up, Pat Connaughton could see more time on the bench. However, Beverley will not make an impact in fantasy hoops versus the Raptors.

Thu Apr 419:15Joel Embiid Will Play On ThursdayJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is officially available for Thursday's game against Miami. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game. Embiid returned from a 29-game absence on Tuesday against the Thunder, posting 24 points, six rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in 29 minutes. The reigning MVP gets a much tougher matchup on Thursday against Bam Adebayo, but he should still fill the box score with ease.

Thu Apr 411:34Julius Randle’s Season Is OverJulius RandlePFLakersFree Agent
After two months of rehabilitation to attempt a return, New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) will undergo season-ending right shoulder surgery. Randle dislocated his shoulder on Jan. 27, and surgery became inevitable after two specialists warned of possible permanent damage if he returned to play before a procedure. Although the 29-year-old All-Star wasn't expected to be a factor in fantasy leagues down the stretch, it's a crushing blow to the 44-31 Knicks' chances of making a deep postseason run. Randle's season ends with averages of 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 three-pointers in 35.4 minutes per game over 46 appearances for New York. Josh Hart has filled in admirably and should continue being treated as a must-start option in his absence, averaging 11.5 points, 10.9 boards, 6.0 dimes, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 threes in 41.0 minutes across 29 games since Randle went down.

Wed Apr 320:47Aaron Gordon Probable Versus The ClippersAaron GordonPFMagicFree Agent
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is expected to play on Thursday versus the Clippers. He remains bothered by a strained right foot. However, it didn't stop him from suiting up for Tuesday's narrow win over the San Antonio Spurs. The 28-year-old looked good in that one, ending the night with 23 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. DFS managers should plan on Gordon being active for Thursday night, barring a setback, and he could continue to produce beyond his usual expectations if Jamal Murray (ankle) is ruled out.

Wed Apr 319:59Joel Embiid Questionable Against The HeatJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable heading into Thursday's Eastern Conference clash with the Heat. Embiid returned from a few months on the shelf for Tuesday's win over OKC. Despite battling fatigue and amassing six turnovers, he still ended the night with 24 points, seven assists, six boards, and three steals. Embiid also logged 29 minutes, so he may get a little more action if he plays. But the Sixers are looking to climb out of the Play-In, meaning there's a good chance Embiid will be on the floor. With that in mind, his rostering cost for DFS participants will likely be lower than usual, making him an ideal fantasy option.

Wed Apr 318:57Jerami Grant Remains Sidelined WednesdayJerami GrantSF76ersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out for a 12th consecutive game on Wednesday against Charlotte. He hasn't taken the court for three weeks, and it's beginning to look likely that we might have seen the last of Grant in 2023-24. Jabari Walker has moved into a starting role on the Portland frontcourt. He's been a volatile fantasy asset but gets a good matchup on Wednesday against a struggling team with a poor defensive record.

Wed Apr 318:40Patrick Beverley Out On WednesdayPatrick BeverleyPGRocketsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) will sit out Wednesday's matchup against Memphis. He injured his right ankle against Washington on Tuesday and exits the lineup after already playing with a wrist problem. The Bucks also won't have Damian Lillard (groin) on Wednesday, which leaves AJ Green and TyTy Washington Jr. as the lone options at point guard. The two have previously combined for only three career starts.

Tue Apr 222:23Joel Embiid Looks Good In Return On TuesdayJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) scored 24 points in Tuesday's 109-105 win over OKC. Embiid went 6-for-14 from the field and 0-for-3 from behind the arc. However, the reigning MVP made up for it by sinking all 12 free-throw tries and amassing seven assists, six boards, and three steals. Despite also accumulating six turnovers, Embiid looked good, even more so for a guy who hasn't played in two months. But with Philadelphia currently a few games back from the Indiana Pacers to climb out of Play-In contention, Embiid should be on the floor for Philadelphia's remaining six regular season contests. He'll presumably increase his workload on Thursday in Miami after logging 29 minutes against the Thunder, so it shouldn't take him long to return to form.

Tue Apr 221:07Cody Zeller Available Wednesday Versus OrlandoCody ZellerPFHornetsFree Agent
New Orleans Pelicans center Cody Zeller (face) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. The last time he played was March 22nd, when he registered one point and two rebounds in just three minutes. His minutes will remain limited as he plays behind Jonas Valanciunas. Zeller isn't a fantasy contributor in fantasy hoops due to his lack of time he gets on the court when healthy.

Tue Apr 220:14Aaron Gordon Good To Go On TuesdayAaron GordonPFMagicFree Agent
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) will play on Tuesday against the Spurs. His injury designation isn't anything new, so he was anticipated to be out there for this one, assuming he didn't suffer a setback since his last game. With that in mind, the 28-year-old is always on the DFS radar. But with Jamal Murray (ankle) still sidelined, Gordon's fantasy ceiling is higher than usual.

Tue Apr 219:55Jerami Grant Not Expected To Play WednesdayJerami GrantSF76ersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) isn't expected to suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Charlotte. He's listed on the league's official injury report as doubtful. However, as each game passes, Grant's chances of returning during the 2023-24 campaign significantly decrease. Nevertheless, Jabari Walker should remain in the starting lineup if Grant doesn't play on Wednesday. The 21-year-old is coming off an 18-point effort in Monday's loss to Orlando. However, Walker combined for just 15 points in the three games leading up to Monday's contest, meaning he can't be trusted from a fantasy perspective.

Tue Apr 218:25Joel Embiid Now Expected To Return On TuesdayJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against OKC. There were reports he wouldn't be back for this one. However, he was upgraded to questionable on Tuesday afternoon and is now anticipated to be on the floor. The 30-year-old was having an MVP-caliber season before suffering a knee injury in January. But with a two-month layoff, Embiid will return to try to help Philadelphia avoid the Play-In. Of course, there's a chance he'll be limited in his first game back. Yet, Embiid should still severely lower the fantasy ceilings of Mo Bamba and Paul Reed.

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 121:49Aaron Gordon Expected To Play TuesdayAaron GordonPFMagicFree Agent
Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) has been tagged as probable for their matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The 28-year-old has played in each of the team's last three games and it looks like the right foot strain won't keep him out of this one. The Nuggets are fighting for the first seed in the West right now as they're tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gordon may not be scoring as much as he did last year, but he's an integral part of this team's success and has contributed more to fantasy teams outside of just scoring. He remains a solid option in DFS lineups and deep fantasy leagues.

Mon Apr 118:29Jerami Grant Ruled Out MondayJerami GrantSF76ersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Monday's contest against Orlando. He's been sidelined for a number of weeks with a hamstring problem, and Grant's absence doesn't come as a surprise after he was initially labeled as doubtful on the injury report. The Trail Blazers also recently lost Toumani Camara (ribs, lung) from the lineup, which has pushed Jabari Walker to the starting unit. The 21-year-old has posted 8.2 points and 7.9 rebounds in a starting role this season. He has an uncomfortable matchup on Monday against a slow-paced team that boasts an air-tight defense.

Mon Apr 114:21Joel Embiid Won’t Return TuesdayJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is officially listed as out ahead of Tuesday's showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic's Shams Charania both reported on Monday morning that Embiid is targeting a return during fantasy championship week from a two-month absence following left knee surgery, but it appears that managers will have to wait at least one more game. The reigning MVP's next chance to return comes on Thursday against the Miami Heat. Although Mo Bamba ranks inside fantasy's top 80 in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks, averaging 8.5 points on 56.8% shooting from the floor, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 0.9 three-pointers across his last eight games (all starts), he's only playing 19.7 minutes per contest since March 18 and isn't the most reliable streaming option.

Mon Apr 109:41Knicks Not Expecting OG Anunoby, Julius Randle Back This SeasonJulius RandlePFLakersFree Agent
OG AnunobyFree Agent
New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (elbow) and Julius Randle (shoulder) appear unlikely to return to action this season. Following Sunday's 113-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart said that the team would be "pleasantly surprised" if Anunoby and Randle returned to the court in 2023-24. Anunoby made a comeback from elbow surgery on March 12 but played in only three games, while Randle has been out of the lineup since the end of January, missing 28 contests. The injuries have given extra fantasy value to Hart, who averaged 10.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.1 steals across March. Donte DiVincenzo and Precious Achiuwa have also taken on larger roles.

Sun Mar 3123:04Jerami Grant Unlikely To Play Against OrlandoJerami GrantSF76ersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's matchup with Orlando. He's been sidelined for a few weeks because of a nagging hamstring strain, an injury that's bothered him throughout the year. But the Trail Blazers aren't going to the postseason, so Grant may not be back for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign. With Anfernee Simons (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (elbow), and Shaedon Sharpe (abdomen) still sidelined, Deandre Ayton, Dalano Banton, Scoot Henderson, and Kris Murray all warrant DFS consideration, especially if Grant is officially ruled out.
