Wed Apr 1013:10Kelly Olynyk Resting WednesdayKelly OlynykCCelticsFree Agent
Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Olynyk logged 34 minutes in Tuesday's defeat to the visiting Indiana Pacers, and he will catch a breather on the second night of Toronto's back-to-back. Look for the veteran playmaking big man to be available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. In his absence, undrafted rookies Mouhamadou Gueye and Malik Williams should split minutes at center for the Raptors on Wednesday. Neither of the two bigs are recommended fantasy streamers against elite rim protector Nicolas Claxton (ankle), who is likely to be available for the Nets.

Wed Apr 1009:49LeBron James Produces Big Double-DoubleLeBron JamesPFHeatFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James recorded his second consecutive double-double in Tuesday's big game against Golden State, leading all scorers with 33 points and handing out a game-high 11 assists in a 134-120 loss. James was back in action after missing one game with an illness. It looks like he wasn't fully recovered on Tuesday either, as James arrived at the Crypto.com Arena just an hour before tipoff. However, he was able to put in a 36-minute shift, completing his line with seven rebounds and two steals. The veteran star will now get some extra rest, with the Lakers off until Friday. There are two more crucial games coming up for the team against Memphis and New Orleans.

Wed Apr 1009:40Giannis Antetokounmpo Avoids Achilles InjuryGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo has avoided a serious Achilles injury, sources have told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Bucks star strained his calf in Tuesday's clash against Boston, specifically his left soleus, which is a muscle in the back part of the calf. Luckily, tests have revealed that the former MVP avoided damage to his Achilles. His return to court will depend on how quickly he recovers from the calf strain. Milwaukee has three more games left to play in the regular season. Bobby Portis should benefit the most from Antetokounmpo's absence.

Tue Apr 922:09Giannis Antetokounmpo To Undergo An MRIGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) suffered a non-contact injury during Tuesday's win over the Celtics. He was down for a bit before limping his way back to the locker room. While details were scarce initially, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski provided an update, reporting Antetokounmpo suffered a left calf strain. He will undergo an MRI, although DFS managers shouldn't expect to see him on the floor on Wednesday versus Orlando. With three regular-season contests left for Milwaukee, the multi-time MVP may not be back until the postseason, at the earliest. However, it's still too early to speculate. With that in mind, as long as Antetokounmpo is on the shelf, Khris Middleton and Damian Lillard should be the Bucks' top offensive contributors. At the same time, Bobby Portis, Malik Beasley, Brook Lopez, and ... [More]

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) won't play on Tuesday versus Phoenix. He has been dealing with a sore right foot and didn't participate in shootaround on Tuesday. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) also sidelined, Paul George will be a popular DFS option. At the same time, Norman Powell, Russell Westbrook, and Ivica Zubac should get more involved offensively.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (illness) will play on Tuesday against Golden State. He wasn't available for Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves because of Flu-like symptoms. However, after carrying a questionable designation heading into this one, he feels well enough to suit up. With Anthony Davis (eye, illness) sidelined, James could be in line for a big night versus the Warriors, so he'll see plenty of attention from the DFS community.

Tue Apr 921:28Giannis Antetokounmpo Won't Return Versus BostonGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't return to Tuesday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. He went down with a non-contact injury in the third quarter and limped to the locker room. At the time, details were scarce surrounding the nature of the ailment. However, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Antetokounmpo suffered a left calf strain. The multi-time MVP has been battling hamstring tendinopathy over the last few weeks. But with a new issue, Antetokounmpo probably will miss time. Of course, he'll likely undergo further testing, with an update potentially coming on Wednesday.

Tue Apr 921:13Giannis Antetokounmpo Exits Tuesday's GameGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (undisclosed) exited Tuesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics. The multi-time MVP has been battling a hamstring injury and wasn't a lock to suit up for this one. However, he was cleared to play. Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo went down with a non-contact injury in the third quarter and limped to the locker room. It's possible he aggravated the hamstring issue. With that in mind, his night could be over, with a more extensive exam likely on the horizon.

Tue Apr 921:03Anthony Davis Won't Play On TuesdayAnthony DavisPFNO HornetsFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (eye, illness) won't play in Tuesday's game against Golden State. AD logged only 12 minutes in Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves before suffering an eye injury. He was listed as questionable heading into this one, so it appeared he at least had a shot to get on the floor. However, that won't happen, as Davis is now battling nausea and headaches. With LeBron James (illness) also not a lock to suit up, D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Rui Hachimura could all benefit on the scoring end. Jaxson Hayes, averaging 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.3 steals in four starts this season, should also see more interest from DFS participants.

Tue Apr 920:57Andre Drummond Hurt On TuesdayAndre DrummondCPistonsFree Agent
Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) exited Tuesday's meeting with the New York Knicks. Drummond tried to throw down an alley-oop from Torrey Craig. However, he missed it and eventually rolled his ankle. The team hasn't released an official injury update. But Drummond needed a wheelchair to get to the locker room, so his evening is likely over. The Bulls are guaranteed a Play-In spot. Yet, it's possible the team could be without Drummond for at least a few games. With that in mind, as long as Drummond remains off the floor, Craig and Adama Sanogo might see more action moving ahead.

Tue Apr 918:28Tyrese Maxey, Kyle Lowry Won't Play On TuesdayKyle LowryPGRaptorsFree Agent
Tyrese MaxeyFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers point guards Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Kyle Lowry (knee) won't play against the Pistons on Tuesday. The latter misses a second consecutive game, while Maxey will be sidelined after putting in a massive 54-minute shift in the last game against San Antonio. Cameron Payne looks set for his second consecutive start and will get a big boost from the backcourt absentees. The 29-year-old has averaged 12.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists as a member of the first unit in 2023-24.

Tue Apr 918:20Tobias Harris Returns For Philadelphia TuesdayTobias HarrisSFMagicFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against Detroit. He's back after being unavailable for three games with a knee contusion. Harris has looked sharp lately with multiple 20-point efforts and will have extra fantasy appeal on Tuesday due to Tyrese Maxey's (hip) absence. It's a favorable matchup for Harris, who's had no trouble putting up points against his former team this season, averaging 19.3 points with 54.5 percent shooting from downtown.

Tue Apr 918:13Khris Middleton Available On TuesdayKhris MiddletonSFPistonsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (quadriceps) will be available for Tuesday's marquee matchup against the Celtics. He has shaken off a quadriceps injury and also looks to have recovered from a mouth trauma, which limited Middleton to only 13 minutes on Sunday against the Knicks. The three-time All-Star has averaged 13.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.7 assists in three priors meetings with Boston this season.

Tue Apr 918:09Damian Lillard Cleared To Face BostonDamian LillardPGTrailblazersFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (hip) is good to go for Tuesday's big matchup against Boston. He was a late addition to the injury report on Tuesday with a probable tag, but Bucks head coach Doc Rivers has said Lillard will play. Patrick Beverley (ankle) is also back, which means a lot fewer minutes for Pat Connaughton. Lillard faces a backcourt full of defensive talent on Tuesday, but he has previously played well against the Celtics this season, averaging 26.7 points with 42.9 percent shooting from deep.

Tue Apr 918:05Giannis Antetokounmpo Good To Go On TuesdayGiannis AntetokounmpoFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) will play against Boston on Tuesday. The former MVP will be tasked with helping the team end a four-game skid. Antetokounmpo hasn't had a great time against the Celtics this season, settling for only 22.5 points across two games. However, with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) absent for the C's, Boston will be weakened inside the paint, which is where Antetokounmpo does most of his damage.

Tue Apr 915:56Patrick Beverley Probable For TuesdayPatrick BeverleyPGRocketsFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest with the Boston Celtics. The 35-year-old has missed the last three games due to a sprained right ankle, but he will likely make his return to the court on Tuesday. Over his last 14 outings, he's averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game. Should the veteran point guard be unable to suit up, his next chance to return comes Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (hip) is now listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Celtics. He has been dealing with soreness in his left hip. Lillard is a late addition to the injury report, but the 33-year-old should be good to go for tipoff and he is always a must-start in all fantasy formats. If Lillard cannot suit up, Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis could grab more minutes of playing time than usual.

Tue Apr 915:17Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford Out Against BucksAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Kristaps PorzingisFree Agent
Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) are both out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The first-place Celtics will give their two top big men the night off on Tuesday, with their next opportunities to take the court arriving in Thursday's battle with the New York Knicks. Porzingis is simply having his right hamstring managed, and Horford is nursing a sprained left big toe. With that said, Luke Kornet has averaged 10.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.4 blocks in 30.1 minutes over five games as a member of Boston's starting lineup this season and would figure to join the first unit at the five in this one. Kornet should be a chalky DFS value play despite a matchup with a Bucks club allowing the eighth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing centers.

Tue Apr 915:07Evan Fournier Available TuesdayEvan FournierSGNuggetsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Evan Fournier (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Fournier didn't play in Saturday's contest against the New Jersey Nets due to a sore right knee. The 31-year-old French sharpshooter has averaged 4.6 points in 19.0 minutes per game over his last 10 outings. His return won't boost the team's rotation, as Detroit has lost 12 of 13 games.

Tue Apr 914:22No Shootaround For James HardenJames HardenSGRocketsFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) did not warm up with the team during morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's showdown with the Phoenix Suns. It places some doubt on Harden's status for the first leg of LA's back-to-back set with the Suns after he was dealing with a sore right foot leading into Sunday's narrow home win over the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers. If the 34-year-old All-Star ends up missing Tuesday's game, the Clippers' offense would center around Paul George with Kawhi Leonard (knee) already ruled out. Although Phoenix is allowing the sixth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing small forwards, PG-13 would be tough to fade in DFS while averaging 25.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 3.6 three-pointers over his last 14 appearances.
