Sun Apr 713:23Stephen Curry Resting On SundayStephen CurryPGWarriorsFree Agent
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry won't play on Sunday against Utah. He scored 28 points in 35 minutes in Friday's two-point loss to Dallas, so he will get a night off against the 29-48 Utah Jazz. With Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Andrew Wiggins (ankle) questionable, Klay Thompson, Chris Paul, and Moses Moody could be the players to benefit the most without Curry on the floor.

Sat Apr 609:20LeBron James Listed As Questionable For SaturdayLeBron JamesSFHeatDr. A.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has picked up yet another questionable tag ahead of Saturday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran superstar continues to deal with an ankle issue, but the injury has kept him off the court just five times since the beginning of February. It's the start of a back-to-back for the Lakers, so it's more likely James will sit out Saturday's contest. Fantasy managers need to monitor his status closely. Taurean Prince is first in line to take over from James in the starting unit. He's notched 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists running with the starters this season.

Thu Apr 419:45Mike Conley Removed From Injury ReportMike ConleyPGGrizzliesFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran guard was held out of Wednesday's game for rest purposes. However, Conley will return on Friday and is expected to have his normal role in the rotation. The Wolves are likely just resting Conley in order to try and keep him refreshed ahead of the postseason. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable getting Conley back in their lineups on Friday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is expected to come off the bench with Conley returning.

Wed Apr 318:45Anthony Davis, LeBron James Set To Play On WednesdayAnthony DavisFree Agent
LeBron JamesSFHeatDr. A.
Los Angeles Lakers All-Stars Anthony Davis (knee) and LeBron James (ankle) will play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus Washington. Both saw less than 30 minutes of action on Tuesday against Toronto and should have some extra freshness from the lighter workload. The Wizards have one of the weakest defenses in the league, so this could end up as a real massacre as James and Davis try to keep the team's playoff push going.

Wed Apr 314:59Mike Conley Resting Against RaptorsMike ConleyPGGrizzliesFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) is out for Wednesday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. The 52-23 T-Wolves will sit Conley down against a depleted Raptors bunch, and the veteran floor general is likely to return for Friday's showdown with the Phoenix Suns. Jordan McLaughlin is shooting the lights out lately, burying 65.7% of his three-pointers over his last 15 games with averages of 5.9 points, 2.7 dimes, and 2.3 triples in 15.1 minutes during this period. His hot streak could earn him a trip to Minnesota's starting group at point guard on Wednesday, making McLaughlin an interesting DFS choice in a cupcake matchup against a Toronto defense yielding the seventh-most points per game (118.5).

Wed Apr 308:52LeBron James Likely To Play Versus WashingtonLeBron JamesSFHeatDr. A.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will likely play on Wednesday versus Washington. The veteran star, who continues to carry an ankle injury, skipped one game in a back-to-back situation a week ago, but Lakers head coach Darvin Ham expects to see him back on the court Wednesday night after James logged 29 minutes in Tuesday's 128-111 win over Toronto. James opened the final month of the regular season with a 23-point outing, shooting a very impressive 10-for-12 from the field. He also had a game-high nine assists. Washington owns the third-worst defensive rating in the league, meaning James should fill up the stat sheet with ease on Wednesday.

Mon Apr 118:44Taj Gibson Ruled Out MondayTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons forward/center Taj Gibson (hamstring) won't be in the lineup against Memphis on Monday. The veteran has been downgraded from doubtful to out. Gibson likely wouldn't have seen time on the court anyway, as he's only played in one game for the Pistons since signing with the team on March 6. His next opportunity to play will come on Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Mon Apr 116:32LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable Against RaptorsAnthony DavisFree Agent
LeBron JamesSFHeatDr. A.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (knee) are both listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Toronto Raptors. Tuesday marks the fifth outing of a six-game road trip for the Lakers, with another game on tap in a quick turnaround for Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. James, dealing with an ankle problem, and Davis, managing a knee issue, have been on LA's injury report essentially all season, and one or both could sit out on the front end of the back-to-back against a Raptors group that hasn't won a game since March 3. D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves may be in line for expanded workloads if James and/or Davis are out on Tuesday, with Russell averaging 22.4 points, 10.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 3.3 treys across 10 games without James this year and signifying an elite fantasy play in these scenarios.

Mon Apr 109:49Taj Gibson Doubtful For MondayTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons forward/center Taj Gibson (hamstring) is considered doubtful to play versus Memphis on Monday. The veteran big man is battling a hamstring strain. Gibson has featured just once for Detroit since joining the club on March 6 -- an 11-minute effort against Boston -- and his absence doesn't impact the team in any way. Jalen Duren leads Detroit's frontcourt with the support of James Wiseman, Tosan Evbuomwan, and Chimezie Metu. The Pistons bigs face a tough challenge on Monday against Jaren Jackson Jr., who won the Defensive Player of the Year Award a season ago.

Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (knee) will play on Sunday against Brooklyn. Both players have been upgraded from questionable to available. The two will be looking to finish off a good month in style. James has posted 24.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 9.4 assists in March, while Davis boasts 11 double-doubles from 12 appearances this month, averaging 22.8 points and 14.5 rebounds with 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals.

Sat Mar 3022:54LeBron James Questionable Versus BrooklynLeBron JamesSFHeatDr. A.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game in Brooklyn. As usual, the multi-time MVP appears on the injury report because of the left ankle issue he's been battling for months. While there's a chance he might miss this one, the Lakers need a win, meaning he should be on the floor. However, if James isn't out there, D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, and Anthony Davis (knee) should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end.

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) will end a month-long absence on Friday against the Trail Blazers. The Heat big man injured his right heel in a game against Portland on Feb. 27 and has been out for 14 contests. Love's return is set to push Thomas Bryant out of the rotation, with Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith also in danger of losing minutes. The former All-Star has averaged 9.0 points and 6.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes during his 16th NBA campaign.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will be in the lineup on Friday versus Indiana. He has once again shaken off a questionable tag to face the Pacers for a second time in a short space of time. The two teams also clashed last Sunday, with James recording 26 points, five rebounds, and 10 assists in a high-scoring 150-145 win. Another shootout is expected between the two sides on Friday, putting James in a good position to fill up the box score again.

Fri Mar 2917:15Al Horford Removed From The Injury ReportAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (toe) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Saturday's clash with New Orleans. The veteran has been bothered by a toe sprain of late. While he's mostly played through the pain, he didn't suit up for Thursday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The C's got Jrue Holiday (shoulder) back for that one, so Horford would have come off the bench, decreasing his fantasy effectiveness. With that in mind, Horford has averaged 8.5 points and 6.5 rebounds, although he always has the potential to get hot whenever he steps on the court.

Fri Mar 2916:17Derrick Rose Unlikely To Return This SeasonDerrick RosePGBullsFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (groin) hasn't appeared in a game since February 28 and it looks as though he won't be returning for the rest of the season. According to Damichael Cole, since there are only two weeks remaining in the season and the Grizzlies are already eliminated from playoff contention, Rose is unlikely to take the court again this year. Since he's missed a lot of time, this won't affect that much of the rotation, and a lot of the younger players that have been seeing time will continue to do so. Desmond Bane, Scottie Pippen Jr., and Jake LaRavia should all continue to get more opportunities for the rest of this season.

Fri Mar 2910:36Kevin Love Probable On FridayKevin LovePFTimberwolvesFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (heel) has officially been listed as probable for Friday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran big man hasn't played since February 27 and has missed a total of 25 games so far this season. The good thing is that the team is getting healthier at the right time to make a playoff push and try to avoid the play-in tournament altogether. Love has played a reserve role all year and that shouldn't change with him returning to the lineup. He's averaging 17.5 minutes a night and has registered 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game, so he's been a viable streaming option in deeper leagues.

Thu Mar 2820:21LeBron James Questionable Against IndianaLeBron JamesSFHeatDr. A.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable heading toward Friday's matchup with the Pacers. He's been dealing with a left ankle injury for months and has missed time because of it. The 39-year-old recently sat out Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Yet, James returned on Wednesday versus Memphis and ended the night by amassing a 23-point, 14-rebound, 12-assist triple-double. The Lakers are currently the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference, so they must extend their five-game winning streak to at least remain in the Play-In conversation. With that in mind, James will likely be on the floor. But if he's not, Rui Hachimura, Austin Reaves, and D'Angelo Russell should all pick up the slack on the offensive end behind Anthony Davis (knee), assuming he's available.

Thu Mar 2820:14Taj Gibson Out Friday Against WizardsTaj GibsonPFBullsFree Agent
Detroit Pistons forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gibson has been suffering from right-hamstring soreness and will miss his sixth consecutive contest. Currently, there is no timetable for when he will return. The veteran forward last played on March 18 against Boston, where he posted just three points, two rebounds, and one steal in 11 minutes of playing time. If the 38-year-old returns this season, he won't be a fantasy factor.

Thu Mar 2818:59Al Horford Won't Face The HawksAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Boston Celtics forward Al Horford (toe) won't play in Thursday's rematch against the Hawks. He continues to be bothered by a toe sprain. However, the 37-year-old logged 36 minutes in Monday's loss to Atlanta, so it's surprising he's unavailable. Fortunately, the C's will get back Jrue Holiday (shoulder) from a five-game absence. But without Horford on the floor, Sam Hauser, averaging 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 10 starts this season, remains a viable fantasy asset.

Thu Mar 2818:54Jrue Holiday Available On ThursdayJrue HolidayPG76ersFree Agent
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will play on Thursday against the Hawks. The 33-year-old has been sidelined for the last five games because of an AC joint sprain and was listed as questionable for the rematch versus Atlanta. However, he's good to go and won't have any restrictions, which is certainly good news for fantasy managers. Sam Hauser, who has averaged 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 10 starts this year, will head back to the bench. Yet, with Al Horford (toe) out, Hauser could remain involved enough to warrant DFS consideration.
