Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's postseason battle with the Mavericks. The 36-year-old suffered a right Soleus strain during the Western Conference semifinals against OKC. While the injury cost him Game 5, he was available for the series' final two contests. Conley averaged 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and shot 52.9% from deep in four regular-season meetings versus Dallas. However, he's not always reliable for DFS purposes, and he may be even less dependable due to the injury.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) is probable for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The multi-time All-Star continues to battle knee and ankle soreness. However, these ailments aren't new, so he'll be on the floor on Wednesday evening, barring a setback. Doncic went crazy in two meetings with Minnesota during the regular season, averaging 36.5 points, 10.5 assists, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. But he might have a difficult time remaining as productive, considering his multiple injuries have impacted his scoring ability throughout the postseason.

According to Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins, guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is progressing in rehab from a torn labrum suffered back in January. "Everything is going well," said Jenkins while speaking to the media at an event. "He's going to be pretty close to full go on the court." The multi-time All-Star began last season serving a 25-game suspension before averaging 25.1 points and 8.1 assists in nine appearances. Unfortunately, he sustained a torn labrum and had to undergo season-ending surgery. Without a doubt, Morant is one of the best players in the National Basketball Association. However, he's had issues staying healthy over the years while being involved in several off-the-court incidents. But he's an excellent bounce-back candidate for 2024-25, although category participants haven't appreciated his career 31.8% shooting from deep.

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, speaking on FanDuel TV's Up and Adams, there is a "growing belief" that Paul George will remain with the Clippers. The veteran could become an unrestricted free agent this summer if he doesn't sign an extension and declines his $48.8 million option. While he has interest from several clubs, it appears he may remain in Los Angeles. George isn't the player he once was. However, the 34-year-old still averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 74 regular-season appearances for the Clippers. He also shot a career-high 41.3% from behind the three-point line. With that said, George will remain a coveted fantasy option for all formats heading into the 2024-25 campaign. But his inability to stay healthy during his career is something fantasy managers should keep in mind when drafting.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, speaking on NBA Countdown ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) could be back for Game 4 on Monday. Wojnarowski indicated the team won't rush him back, which is understandable if the C's build a decisive lead in the series with Indiana. However, if anything, the update means that Boston could have him back for the NBA Finals, assuming the Celtics advance. The 28-year-old averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks during the regular season. But Porzingis hasn't been on the floor in nearly a month, meaning he could be limited once he's cleared to return. In the meantime, DFS managers should expect Al Horford to absorb most of the minutes in the middle, with Luke Kornet coming in for relief.

On Tuesday, Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team. Gobert has been named to the All-Defensive first team seven times during his 11-year career. Minnesota's big man has been a critical factor in the Timberwolves' postseason run to the Western Conference Finals, starting Wednesday against Dallas. The Defensive Player of the Year has suited up for 10 playoff games, averaging 12.2 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 1.0 steals across 34.3 minutes on the court per game.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is expected to sign a massive four-year, $156 million contract extension this summer, according to Steve Popper of Newsday Sports. Brunson fractured his left hand during Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Indiana. Across 13 postseason contests, the 27-year-old was phenomenal, averaging 32.4 points, 7.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in 39.8 minutes per contest.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen could be a popular man this offseason if the team decides to move him. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Allen has "numerous admirers" in rival front offices. Allen, who turned 26 in April, signed a five-year, $100 million contract with the Cavaliers in 2021. He averaged a career-high 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 blocks during a successful 2023-24 season. But Allen's future in Cleveland is murky after reports suggested that he refused to take a pain-killing injection to play through a rib contusion in the playoffs. He missed the team's final eight postseason games as Cleveland's campaign ended with a 4-1 defeat to Boston in the second round.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela is "likely bound for the trade market" with a year remaining on his contract. The Swiss big man, who has just turned 30, will be carrying a $22.3 million expiring contract next season. The Pelicans and Rockets are seen as potential landing spots for Capela after the Mavericks also showed big interest in him at the trade deadline. Capela has proven himself as a very capable center in the Association, averaging a double-double for seven consecutive seasons. While splitting time with Onyeka Okongwu, Capela posted 11.5 points and 10.6 rebounds with 1.5 blocks across 25.8 minutes this term. His exit from Atlanta could provide a big boost to Okongwu's fantasy stock.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Gordon Hayward has expressed displeasure with his role on the team. "Disappointing with how it all kind of worked out. Certainly frustrating," Hayward said. "I feel as a player, I have a lot to offer. Just wasn't really given much of an opportunity to do that. I thought I would be given that opportunity." After the Thunder traded for Hayward in February, the former All-Star averaged just 17.2 minutes per game with the team and saw even less action in the playoffs, logging 47 minutes across seven appearances. Hayward will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason after completing a four-year, $120 million deal.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown could be on the move again soon after splitting 2023-24 between Indiana and Toronto. According to Doug Smith of The Toronto Star, the Raptors will likely pick up a $23 million option on Bruce's contract and trade him before the 2025 deadline. There should be no storage of takers for a versatile player like Brown, who has proven himself at the highest level by winning the NBA championship with Denver last season. He moved to Indiana as a free agent a year ago but was traded to Toronto in the Pascal Siakam deal in January. Bruce averaged 10.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes during the season.

New York Knicks power forward Julius Randle could land on a new squad for next season. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, teams are "monitoring" Randle's situation in New York. The three-time All-Star will be eligible to sign a four-year, $190 million contract extension this offseason. His current deal runs until the summer of 2026, with a $32 million player option for the final season. Randle's 2023-24 campaign was largely ruined by a shoulder injury, but the 29-year-old played at a high level when in the lineup, averaging 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) is out for Tuesday's postseason clash with the Pacers. DFS managers already expected him to miss this one, so the official update from the league's injury report isn't surprising. Fortunately, there's a chance he could return during the Eastern Conference Finals. But until he's back in the lineup, Al Horford and Luke Kornet will continue to handle things underneath the basket. With that said, Horford is the better option for fantasy purposes, with the 37-year-old amassing 22 points, 15 rebounds, and three blocks in the series-clinching win over the Cavaliers on May 15.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon was limited to only four points on 2-for-5 shooting in Sunday's Game 7 defeat to Minnesota. Gordon was a big factor in the series but couldn't get anything going on Sunday, even settling for only four rebounds after racking up 18 boards across the previous two games. In 42 minutes on the court, Gordon also recorded two assists and one block. Gordon's offensive numbers dropped in 2023-24, but he remains a valuable piece of the Nuggets' core and should be a solid fantasy contributor in multiple categories again next season.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray had a game-high 35 points on Sunday against Minnesota as the team's title defense ended with a 98-90 Game 7 loss. Following his disappointing effort in Game 6, Murray appeared determined to carry his squad to the Western Conference Finals, posting 24 points in the first half. But the Timberwolves tightened up the defense in the second half and produced a historic comeback in the contest. Murray's final stat line of the season included three rebounds and three assists. 2023-24 was a good year for Murray, as the Canadian star set new career highs with 6.5 assists and 42.5 percent three-point shooting while averaging 21.2 points. However, he again missed a large chunk of the campaign with health issues, playing in only 59 regular-season contests. Murray's injury history is definitely something fantasy managers need to consider while planning for 2024-25.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic stuffed the stat sheet but couldn't keep his team alive in Game 7 against the Timberwolves on Sunday. The 2023 champions blew a 15-point half-time lead to lose 98-90 despite Jokic posting 34 points, 19 rebounds, seven assists, and one block. After being voted the regular season MVP for the third time in his career, Jokic averaged 28.7 points, 13.4 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in the playoffs. With him having not even hit 30 years of age, the Jokic era in Denver has a long way to go, and he will continue to be an elite fantasy asset for quite some time.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert played his part in Sunday's 98-90 Game 7 victory over Denver with 13 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. He finished with 3-for-7 shooting from the field and impressed at the free-throw line with a 7-for-9 effort. Gobert had a tough time against Nikola Jokic in the series but did a solid job overall by averaging a double-double. He will have a key role to play again in the Western Conference Finals against Dallas' big men Daniel Gafford, Dereck Lively II, and P.J. Washington.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns registered his third double-double in four games against Denver on Sunday, leading the team to a 98-90 Game 7 victory. Towns was tied for most points on the team with 23 and grabbed 12 rebounds. He was limited to only 1-for-6 shooting from three-point range but finished 8-for-14 overall from the field and made a large impact all over the court. In 39 minutes, Towns was able to add two assists, two steals, and one block to his line. After years of misery in Minneapolis, Towns has finally made it to the Conference Finals, but he faces another tough matchup. Dallas has a lot of frontcourt depth, which will make it a challenging series for Towns.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (abdomen) was available for Sunday's pivotal meeting with the Pacers after suffering an abdominal strain on Friday night. However, while Hart should be recognized for his willingness to play through the ailment, he struggled to a degree, ending the afternoon with 10 points and shooting 3-for-9 from the field and 0-for-4 from deep. Hart did add eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Yet, it was apparent he wasn't fully healthy. With the Knicks eliminated from the playoffs, Hart will get some rest and prepare for the 2024-25 campaign. He appeared in 81 games for New York during the regular season, and although he isn't the most consistent on the offensive end, he'll see plenty of interest from fantasy managers.

New York Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo scored a game-high 39 points in Sunday's loss to Indiana. He added four rebounds, two steals, and one assist. With OG Anunoby (hamstring) and Josh Hart (abdomen) plagued by injury, DiVincenzo stepped up in a big way, going 11-for-21 from the field and 9-for-15 from deep. However, it wasn't enough, with the Knicks failing to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old is coming off his best season, averaging a career-high 15.5 points with 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists. He also appeared in 81 games after logging 72 in Golden State last season. With that said, DiVincenzo's durability and increased production should spark the interest of fantasy managers heading into the 2024-25 campaign.
