Wed May 109:19Tyrese Haliburton Struggles In Game 5Tyrese HaliburtonPGPacersFree Agent
Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton had a rough outing in Game 5 against Milwaukee on Tuesday, finishing a 115-92 loss with 16 points, four rebounds, and six assists. Haliburton turned in a below-par line despite a hot start that saw him hit two treys inside the first four minutes. He ended up going 4-for-10 from downtown with a 6-for-14 overall effort from the field. Pascal Siakam was limited to 12 points, and the Pacers definitely need more from their leaders to wrap up the series in Game 6 on Thursday.

Wed May 108:42Gary Harris Injured In Game 5Gary HarrisSGMagicFree Agent
Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris suffered a hamstring strain in Tuesday's Game 5 against Cleveland. After averaging 28 minutes in the first four games of the series, the veteran was limited to a 19-minute outing. Harris came up with a pair of blocks in the contest but didn't contribute anything else on the box score, shooting 0-for-3. Jalen Suggs went close to 40 minutes on the night with Harris out of the lineup for the fourth quarter. Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony could be looked at for bigger contributions in Friday's Game 6 if Harris is unavailable.

Tue Apr 3021:13Tyrese Haliburton Upgraded To AvailableTyrese HaliburtonPGPacersFree Agent
Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) will be good to go for Tuesday's Game 5 against Milwaukee. He's been dealing with lower back spasms, and the team initially had him as questionable for the game, but Haliburton has been upgraded to available. The two-time All-Star will look to register his third double-double of the series on Tuesday. He's averaging 15.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 10.0 assists in the playoffs.

Mon Apr 2919:14Tyrese Haliburton Considered Questionable For Game 5Tyrese HaliburtonPGPacersFree Agent
Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Game 5 against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Indiana's breakout star is dealing with lower back spasms and also picked up a late questionable tag ahead of Game 4. Haliburton ended up having his highest-scoring game of the series with 24 points on Sunday, so it appears as though the issue isn't very serious. T.J. McConnell would receive a larger workload if Haliburton needs to come out of the lineup. He's a nifty playmaker who averaged 10.8 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.8 steals in a starting role during the regular season.

Sun Apr 2821:50Tyrese Haliburton Leads Indiana To Another WinTyrese HaliburtonPGPacersFree Agent
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton finished with 24 points in Sunday's win over the Bucks. He added four rebounds, four assists, and one steal. The former King popped up on the injury report shortly before the start of the contest because of back spasms. However, he was at least healthy enough to lead his team to another victory. Haliburton could appear on the injury report again heading into Game 5 on Tuesday. But with Indy looking to finish off the series, he should be out there.

Sat Apr 2709:16Tyrese Haliburton Completes Big Effort With Overtime Game-WinnerTyrese HaliburtonPGPacersFree Agent
Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton recorded only the fourth playoff triple-double in franchise history as the team defeated Milwaukee 121-118 in Game 3 on Friday. Indiana's young star scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and handed out 16 assists. He had a poor shooting night with an 8-for-22 effort, which included 11 misses with 12 attempts from deep, but Haliburton was money when it counted the most. Haliburton scored on a drive with 1.2 seconds left in overtime and iced the game with a free throw. With three games played, Haliburton is averaging 13.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 12.0 assists in the series.

Sat Apr 2708:55Reggie Jackson Questionable For Game 4Reggie JacksonPGNuggetsFree Agent
Denver Nuggets point guard Reggie Jackson (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 4 against the Lakers. Jackson tweaked his left ankle in Thursday's Game 3. Jackson has averaged only 8.3 minutes in the series, meaning he wouldn't be a major miss for the Nuggets. However, the veteran has been something of a talisman for teams through the years against the Lakers, winning 17 consecutive games against them. Christian Braun could fill Jackson's minutes on Saturday, but he hasn't been a good fantasy producer.

Thu Apr 2518:04Dean Wade Ruled Out For First RoundDean WadePFCavaliersFree Agent
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) has been ruled out for the first-round series against Orlando. He missed the end of the regular season with a knee injury and hasn't featured in the first two playoff games either. Georges Niang, Caris LeVert, and Isaac Okoro lead the Cavaliers bench without Wade. Okoro has been the most productive player of the trio in the playoffs, although his 7.0 points and 2.5 steals per game shouldn't excite many DFS players.

Thu Apr 2509:49Chet Holmgren Sets The Tone For Thunder In Game 2Chet HolmgrenCThunderFree Agent
Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren had an amazing 20-point first half in Game 2 against New Orleans on Wednesday, adding six further points after the break to help the team to a blowout win. Holmgren exchanged buckets early on with Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas and already matched his Game 1 tally of 15 points in the first quarter. He finished with 9-for-13 shooting, including 3-for-6 from downtown. Holmgren's efforts included the Thunder's only two blocks in the game, and he wrapped up his line with seven rebounds and one assist. The 21-year-old rookie has a tough matchup in the series against Valanciunas, but he's stood tall in the battle so far and boasts some outstanding numbers. With two games played, Holmgren is averaging 20.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks with 41.7 percent shooting from deep.

Wed Apr 2423:04Naz Reid Named Sixth Man Of The YearNaz ReidCTimberwolvesFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid was named the Sixth Man of the Year for the 2023-24 season on Wednesday. Reid, who signed a three-year, $42 million extension with the club last offseason, averaged a career-high 13.5 points and 5.2 rebounds while shooting 41.4% from deep in 81 appearances. Without question, he will play a vital role in Minnesota's rotation for years to come, and his fantasy stock will be significantly higher heading into the 2024-25 campaign after capturing the award.

Wed Apr 2418:41Nikola Jovic Available For Game 2Nikola JovicPFHeatFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (back) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's Game 2 against Boston. He was a late addition to the injury report with a back issue, but the team has upgraded him from probable to available. The 20-year-old logged 26 minutes in Game 1 and had 10 points and six rebounds with 3-for-9 shooting. However, he's been inconsistent all season, so it wouldn't be surprising if we see an anonymous performance from Jovic on Wednesday.

Wed Apr 2409:01Tyrese Haliburton Collects A Double-Double In Game 2 WinTyrese HaliburtonPGPacersFree Agent
Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton had a 12-point, 12-assist double-double in Tuesday's Game 2 victory over the Bucks. He already had seven assists in the first half and didn't have any trouble completing his double-double after the break, hitting three shots from downtown with seven attempts and finishing with 4-for-10 overall shooting. Additionally, Haliburton grabbed four rebounds and disrupted Milwaukee's offense by registering one steal and one block. The young Pacers star was a nightmare for the Bucks during the regular season, but they have found a way to limit him to 10.5 points in the playoffs so far. However, he's been shooting 40 percent from three-point range, and it looks to be only a matter of time before Haliburton explodes for a big performance in his first playoff campaign.

Tue Apr 2322:05Luke Kornet Out Again For Game 2Luke KornetCCelticsFree Agent
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (calf) won't play on Wednesday versus the Heat. The 28-year-old sustained a calf injury at practice and wasn't available for the series opener, with his absence likely to extend at least a few more contests. While Kornet had a semi-consistent role in the rotation during the regular season, head coach Joe Mazzulla only utilized three players outside of the starting lineup in Game 1, so he probably won't do much for DFS managers once he's healthy enough to return.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) returned to Monday's contest against the Cavs. The 22-year-old suffered a left knee strain in the first quarter and needed assistance to the locker room. It appeared his night was over. However, Suggs managed to return to start the second half. Without question, DFS managers who have him in their lineups are thrilled he's back on the floor. However, Suggs will likely appear on the injury report heading into Game 3.

Mon Apr 2220:09Pistons Could Target Miles Bridges This SummerMiles BridgesPFHornetsFree Agent
According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com, the Pistons might be interested in signing forward Miles Bridges this summer. After sitting out the 2022-23 campaign because of legal troubles, the 26-year-old amassed a career-high 21.0 points and 7.3 rebounds in 69 games with the Hornets this season. Of course, there will be more than a handful of teams expected to make an offer. However, Detroit will have the cap space during the offseason, although the interest could fade depending on who takes over as the president of basketball operations.

Mon Apr 2219:39Jalen Suggs Helped Off The CourtJalen SuggsPG/SGMagicFree Agent
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (leg) exited Monday's postseason matchup with the Cavaliers. The 22-year-old suffered an apparent left knee injury in the first quarter, requiring assistance off the court and to the locker room. Considering he couldn't put weight on his leg, it could mean his evening is over. With that said, there should be more information on his condition soon. But as long as Suggs isn't on the floor, Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony will see more minutes.

Sat Apr 2021:56Duncan Robinson Uncertain For Game 1Duncan RobinsonSFHeatFree Agent
Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) is questionable for Sunday's playoff matchup versus the Celtics. The 29-year-old is on the injury report again because of Left Facet Syndrome, something he's battled for weeks. While Robinson was available for Wednesday's Play-In loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, he remained on the bench. However, he saw 12 minutes in Friday's victory over the Chicago Bulls and ended the night by amassing eight points, three boards, and one assist. With Jimmy Butler (knee) and Terry Rozier (neck) out for Game 1, Robinson should get on the floor. Yet, he's likely not fully healthy, making him hard to trust for DFS contests.

Sat Apr 2021:50Luke Kornet Out For Game 1Luke KornetCCelticsFree Agent
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (calf) won't play in Sunday's postseason showdown with the Miami Heat. Kornet holds a semi-regular spot in the rotation, averaging 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks this season. But he's sidelined because of a strained calf, meaning the 28-year-old could miss more time beyond Sunday's contest. Fortunately, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are available, so they should absorb most of the minutes at the five. Xavier Tillman Sr. could potentially see the floor. However, Tillman won't play enough to warrant DFS consideration.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (ankle) won't play in Saturday's postseason battle with the Nuggets. The 24-year-old has been on and off the injury report throughout the 2023-24 campaign, so this update isn't surprising. But Reddish's absence should at least open up some minutes for Taurean Prince. However, Prince hasn't been a reliable DFS producer.

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) will play on Friday night against the Bulls. The 29-year-old missed a few games to end the 2023-24 campaign. He was cleared for Wednesday's Play-In loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. However, Robinson didn't see the floor. With that in mind, the 29-year-old likely isn't fully healthy. Yet, with Jimmy Butler (knee) and Terry Rozier (neck) sidelined, Robinson should get work, although he should be considered a risky DFS option.
