  • Player Notes
    Khris Middleton Sun Apr 28 9:10pm

    Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) finished with 25 points in Sunday's loss to Indiana. He added 10 boards, five assists, and one steal. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) were ruled out heading into the contest. However, Bobby Portis got ejected after a physical confrontation with Andrew Nembhard, although Middleton couldn't lead his team to a win. Unfortunately, the veteran has had issues with both ankles during this series, so he'll likely appear on the injury report for Game 5 on Tuesday. But with Milwaukee hoping to avoid elimination, Middleton should be out there, although he likely won't be fully healthy.

    Pascal Siakam Sun Apr 28 9:00pm

    Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam flirted with a triple-double in Sunday's win over Milwaukee, finishing with 13 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. He also got after it defensively, adding two steals and one block. Although the former Raptor was more productive in the series' first two games, he's a big reason Indiana is one game away from advancing to the next round. With that in mind, DFS managers should remember him for Game 5 on Tuesday night.

    Tyrese Haliburton Sun Apr 28 9:00pm

    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.

    Myles Turner Sun Apr 28 8:50pm

    Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner had a game-high 29 points in Sunday's playoff victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. He was locked in from deep, going 7-for-9, adding nine rebounds and three blocks. The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), and with Bobby Portis getting ejected, Turner took advantage to finish with one of the best games of his career. The 28-year-old has been rolling, so he'll be a favorite DFS option for Game 5 on Tuesday, with the Pacers hoping to finish the series.

    Jamal Murray Sun Apr 28 6:50pm

    Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (calf) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Lakers. He has a left calf strain, which could explain his struggles in Saturday's loss to the Lakers. While the 27-year-old still finished that one with 22 points, he had trouble shooting the ball, going 9-for-23 from the field and 0-for-4 from deep. It's hard to imagine Murray will miss Game 5. However, the ailment could continue to be an issue and limit his DFS potential.

    Luka Doncic Sun Apr 28 6:50pm

    Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic had a triple-double in Sunday's loss to the Clippers. He struggled shooting the ball, going 10-for-24 from the field and 1-for-9 from deep. However, he still finished with 29 points, adding 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and one block. The Clippers didn't have Kawhi Leonard (knee) for this one, with his absence potentially extending through the rest of the series. Unfortunately, Dallas couldn't take advantage, so the series will head back to Los Angeles knotted at two games a piece. As always, DFS managers should expect Doncic to remain a top performer.

    Bobby Portis Sun Apr 28 6:40pm

    Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis was ejected in Sunday's playoff matchup with the Pacers. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) weren't available for this contest, so Portis was expected to play a pivotal role offensively. However, after receiving two technicals for a physical confrontation with Andrew Nembhard, his night is over. Portis will finish with four points and three rebounds, with AJ Green, Andre Jackson Jr., and Pat Connaughton expected to see more action for the shorthanded Bucks.

    Kyrie Irving Sun Apr 28 6:30pm

    Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving scored a team-high 40 points in Sunday's postseason contest versus the Clippers. However, it wasn't enough, as Los Angeles took the win to tie the series at two games each. In all fairness, Irving can't take any of the blame, considering he had his best showing of the postseason. DFS managers should expect his rostering cost to increase for Game 5 after his strong effort in Game 4. But he will likely have a difficult time staying as productive.

    James Harden Sun Apr 28 6:30pm

    Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden tied with Paul George to finish with a team-high 33 points in Sunday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. The multi-time All-Star played well in the series' first three games, so he kept it going to help lead his club to a much-needed win. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) uncertain for the remainder of the series, Harden will see as many minutes as possible for Game 5. He'll also remain a pivotal component of the offense, something DFS managers should keep in mind.

    Paul George Sun Apr 28 6:20pm

    Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George tied with James Harden for a team-high 33 points in Sunday's win over the Mavericks. He struggled in Game 3, ending the night with just seven points. But without Kawhi Leonard (knee) on the floor for Game 4, George did all he could to help his team knot the series at two games each. It will be tough for the 33-year-old to remain as productive in Game 5. However, assuming Leonard isn't available for that contest, George should remain one of the Clippers' top performers.

    Joel Embiid Sun Apr 28 3:30pm

    Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was available for Sunday's postseason meeting with the Knicks. Last season's MVP amassed a game-high 50 points in Game 3. However, he cooled off on the scoring end in this one, finishing with 27 points, adding 10 rebounds, six assists, three steals, and two blocks. Embiid looked good again, which is more impressive considering he's still battling a left knee issue. With that in mind, the Sixers are one game away from elimination, so Embiid should remain involved heavily in Game 5 on Tuesday night.

    Jalen Brunson Sun Apr 28 3:20pm

    New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson scored 47 points in Sunday's win over the 76ers. He added 10 assists, four rebounds, and one block. Brunson made history in Game 4, breaking a franchise record for most points in a postseason contest. While he still struggled shooting the ball from deep, his percentage from the field was his best of the series. The 27-year-old is firing on all cylinders, so he'll look to help his squad close out the series at MSG on Tuesday night.

    Bojan Bogdanovic Sun Apr 28 1:50pm

    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.

    Kawhi Leonard Sun Apr 28 1:30pm

    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.

    Mitchell Robinson Sun Apr 28 11:50am

    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.

    Joel Embiid Sun Apr 28 11:40am

    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.

    Damian Lillard Sun Apr 28 11:40am

    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.

    Giannis Antetokounmpo Sun Apr 28 11:30am

    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.

    Jamal Murray Sat Apr 27 10:40pm

    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.

    Anthony Davis Sat Apr 27 10:40pm

    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.
