Sun Apr 2814:46Bojan Bogdanovic Injured In Game 4Bojan BogdanovicSFJazzFree Agent
New York Knicks forward Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) won't return to Sunday's playoff meeting with the 76ers. According to multiple reports on Sunday morning, the veteran sharpshooter has torn ligaments in his left wrist and could need surgery during the offseason. However, he wants to continue playing until the end of the postseason, although he suffered a left ankle contusion in Game 4 while diving for the ball. Bogdanovic has averaged 8.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in the series versus Philadelphia. But the Knicks are down Julius Randle (shoulder) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle), so Bogdanovic could have gotten more involved. DFS managers should expect to see him on the injury report ahead of Game 5 on Tuesday. If he doesn't play, Precious Achiuwa could get a few extra minutes.

Sun Apr 2814:21Kawhi Leonard Won't Play On SundayKawhi LeonardSFClippersFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Mavs. Leonard has been dealing with inflammation in his right knee for a while. Although he managed to return for Game 2, he logged only 25 minutes in Game 3, so it's apparent things aren't improving. As of now, the 32-year-old doesn't have a timetable for his return, meaning James Harden and Paul George will need to step it up for the Clippers to have a chance to win this series. Ivica Zubac, Norman Powell, and Russell Westbrook should also be more involved on the scoring end without Leonard on the floor moving ahead.

Sun Apr 2812:47Mitchell Robinson Downgraded To OutMitchell RobinsonCKnicksFree Agent
New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play in Sunday's contest versus the 76ers. The 26-year-old is still bothered by a left ankle injury, and although he had warmed up with the intention of playing, he won't be out there. While Robinson's DFS contributions have been scarce during this series, the Knicks could have difficulty slowing down Joel Embiid without him on the floor. But Isaiah Hartenstein will try his best, so he should get most of the minutes at the five spot. However, Hartenstein's added workload doesn't mean he'll be more productive for DFS managers.

Sun Apr 2812:38Joel Embiid Active For Game 4Joel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is active for Sunday's postseason clash with the Knicks. Most had already planned for Embiid to be out there, especially since he's appeared on the injury report since returning from knee surgery near the end of the regular season. The 30-year-old is coming off a big night, scoring 50 points in Thursday's win. He also logged 41 minutes, so it's apparent he can handle a full workload. Nonetheless, Embiid guaranteed that the Sixers would win the series, meaning he should be fired up and ready to produce for DFS managers in Game 4.

Sun Apr 2812:30Damian Lillard Officially Out For Game 4Damian LillardPGTrailblazersFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (Achilles) won't play on Sunday against the Pacers. The former Trail Blazer injured his Achilles during Friday's overtime loss, although he still managed to log a team-high 45 minutes to finish with 28 points. However, it was revealed on Saturday that Lillard is in a walking boot, so his status for Game 5 on Tuesday night is also up in the air. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) also out for this one, Khris Middleton (ankle) will have a heavy load to carry, assuming he's cleared to play. Without question, Middleton will need help from Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, Pat Connaughton, and Patrick Beverley, who all should see more scoring chances with Lillard and Antetokounmpo on the shelf.

Sun Apr 2812:25Giannis Antetokounmpo Out Again On SundayGiannis AntetokounmpoPFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Pacers. Head coach Doc Rivers already hinted on Saturday that the multi-time MVP wouldn't be out there, and things don't look good regarding his availability moving ahead. But with Damian Lillard (Achilles) also sidelined for this one, the Bucks are in trouble. Khris Middleton (ankle), who is probable for Game 4, should pick up most of the slack offensively. In addition, Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, and Pat Connaughton could see a surge in production for fantasy managers.

Sat Apr 2723:38Jamal Murray Struggles In Game 4Jamal MurrayPGNuggetsFree Agent
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored 22 points in Saturday's loss to the Lakers. He added six rebounds, five assists, and one block. While Murray had his third 22-point effort in this series, he struggled mightily shooting the ball, going 9-for-23 from the field while missing all four tries from deep. Shoddy percentages have been a theme for the 27-year-old throughout the conference quarterfinals. However, DFS managers should expect him to be on the floor as much as possible in Game 5 on Monday night. He'll also remain heavily involved offensively.

Sat Apr 2723:32Anthony Davis Has A Huge Game On SaturdayAnthony DavisPFLakersFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (wrist) was questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with the Nuggets. However, he was available. Not only that, but the 31-year-old had a massive 25-point, 23-rebound double-double with six assists and one block. AD has looked good during the series with Denver, averaging 30.5 points, 15.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks. The Lakers managed to stave off elimination, meaning Davis will have another chance to make a difference for DFS managers in Game 5 on Monday night.

Sat Apr 2723:26LeBron James Looks Good In Game 4LeBron JamesPGLakersFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) scored a team-high 30 points in Saturday's win over the Nuggets. He added five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block. With the Lakers facing elimination, James led his team to a much-needed win in Game 4. Granted, it will be tough for Los Angeles to take the series. But James, averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in the conference quarterfinals, can't take any of the blame. Game 5 is on Monday night, and DFS managers will likely see James on the injury report because of his ankle injury. However, he should be out there and deserves consideration for all DFS contests.

Sat Apr 2723:19Nikola Jokic Has A Big Night On SaturdayNikola JokicCNuggetsFree Agent
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had a triple-double in the Game 4 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The multi-time MVP had 33 points, shooting 10-for-20 from the field while draining all 11 free throw tries, adding 14 rebounds and 14 assists. While his efforts weren't enough, the Lakers still have an uphill climb to get back into this series. With that said, Jokic has arguably had the best postseason out of anyone, averaging 29 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists. As usual, expect the 29-year-old to see plenty of attention from DFS managers for Game 5 on Monday night.

Sat Apr 2723:02Jimmy Butler Without A Return TimelineJimmy ButlerSFHeatFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) didn't suit up for Saturday's loss to Boston. According to Butler, while speaking with TNT's Chris Haynes during Game 3, he remains without a return timeline. The 34-year-old is dealing with a sprained knee suffered during the Play-In, and with Miami down in this series, DFS managers may not see him back on the floor until next season. Terry Rozier (neck) is also sidelined, so Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo will remain the team's preferred offensive options. However, the recent play of Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr. is at least something positive from Butler's absence, with the duo expected to stay heavily involved moving forward.

Sat Apr 2721:22Grayson Allen Uncertain For Game 4Grayson AllenSGGrizzliesFree Agent
Phoenix Suns forward Grayson Allen (ankle) is questionable heading into Sunday's pivotal matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Allen tweaked his ankle twice during this series, keeping him off the floor for Game 3. Royce O'Neale got the start in that one. However, it was Eric Gordon who benefitted the most, finishing with 11 points, three assists, three steals, and one block in 34 minutes. If Allen misses another contest, Gordon has DFS value potential written all over him. But fantasy managers shouldn't dismiss O'Neale, either.

Sat Apr 2721:17Kyle Anderson Questionable For Game 4Kyle AndersonPFGrizzliesFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's postseason clash with the Phoenix Suns. The veteran is dealing with a hip pointer. While Anderson carried an injury designation heading into Game 3, he was still out there, although he had just two points in eight minutes. The 30-year-old likely won't see much action in Game 4 if he suits up, considering Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have absorbed most of the bench minutes. As a result, Anderson is irrelevant for DFS purposes on Sunday.

Sat Apr 2721:07Khris Middleton Expected To Play On SundayKhris MiddletonSFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for the playoff matchup with the Pacers on Sunday. The veteran was questionable heading into Game 3 because of an ankle injury. While the Bucks lost that one in overtime, DFS managers still appreciated Middleton's game-high 42 points. Milwaukee is in trouble, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) unlikely to play. As a result, Middleton is a lock for all DFS contests, although he'll be a popular option.

Sat Apr 2719:13Damian Lillard Officially Doubtful For SundayDamian LillardPGTrailblazersFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (Achilles) isn't expected to play on Sunday against Indiana. Lillard has been on a roll during the series. Unfortunately, he tweaked his Achilles during the overtime loss to the Pacers on Friday night. The former Trail Blazer is now in a walking boot, so there's a chance he won't be back for the rest of the playoffs. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) also doubtful, Khris Middleton (ankle), assuming he plays, could get most of the scoring opportunities. Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, Pat Connaughton, and Patrick Beverley should also get more involved.

Sat Apr 2719:04Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful For Game 4Giannis AntetokounmpoPFBucksFree Agent
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's postseason matchup with Indiana. Head coach Doc Rivers doesn't expect the multi-time MVP to be out there for Game 4. Even worse, Damian Lillard (Achilles), now in a walking boot, is also anticipated to miss Sunday's game. Fortunately, Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable, so he should get most of the scoring opportunities if Lillard and Antetokounmpo aren't available. In addition, Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, Patrick Beverley, and Brook Lopez could also see an uptick in fantasy production.

Sat Apr 2718:54Tim Hardaway Jr. Unlikely To Play On SundayTim HardawaySFMavericksFree Agent
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) isn't expected to meet the Clippers on Sunday. The veteran sharpshooter tweaked his ankle in Game 2 and wasn't available for Friday's win. However, Hardaway hasn't been a reliable fantasy option during this series, averaging three points and two rebounds. It's hard to imagine he'll be any more productive if he's cleared to suit up for Game 4. If anything, Hardaway missing Sunday's contest would open up minutes for Josh Green, who would see value interest from DFS managers after amassing eight points, five rebounds, and one steal in Game 3.

Sat Apr 2718:47Kawhi Leonard Questionable Versus DallasKawhi LeonardSFClippersFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is questionable for Sunday's postseason showdown with Dallas. After missing the end of the regular season and the series opener because of knee inflammation, Leonard finally returned for Game 2. He played well in that one, so most had assumed he was feeling better. However, the veteran logged just 25 minutes in Game 3 to finish with nine points and nine rebounds. As with any of Leonard's injuries through the years, his current knee issue is something to monitor, considering it could keep him off the floor for the rest of the playoffs. At any rate, if Leonard is ruled out, James Harden and Paul George would be the favorites to benefit on the scoring end. In addition, guys like Russell Westbrook and Norman Powell would automatically draw attention from DFS managers.

Sat Apr 2718:39Luka Doncic On The Injury Report For Game 4Luka DoncicSGMavericksFree Agent
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable for Sunday's playoff battle with the Clippers. He's back on the injury report because of knee soreness. However, Doncic has been known to sustain minor ailments over the years, so it's hard to imagine he'll miss Game 4. The 25-year-old has struggled shooting the ball recently. However, he has still averaged 29.0 points, 9.7 boards, 8.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in this series. DFS managers should expect Doncic to see north of 40 minutes in Game 4, assuming the contest stays close, with the 25-year-old having the potential to finish as the highest-producing fantasy option on Sunday's slate.

Sat Apr 2718:30Joel Embiid Questionable AgainJoel EmbiidC76ersFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Knicks. The injury report is misleading, considering Embiid is nearly guaranteed to be on the court for Game 4. Not only that, he's coming off a strong performance, amassing 50 points in Thursday's win over New York. While the 30-year-old is also battling Bell's Palsy, he guaranteed the Sixers would win this series. As a result, Embiid should be aggressive on both sides of the floor on Sunday afternoon.
