Fantasy Impact: Robinson appears to have re-injured the ankle he hurt earlier in the season. He is likely done for the postseason as a result. Precious Achiuwa should step into the backup role for the Knicks behind Isaiah Hartenstein.

The NBA is fining Nuggets star Jamal Murray for substantial amount after throwing heat pad and towel on court toward official Monday night. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: There had been rumors that Murray could be suspended, but he will just be fined. The Nuggets head to Minnesota down 2-0 in the series.

Tyrese Haliburton is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Haliburton was also listed as questionable ahead of Game 2. He should be good to go barring any setbacks and will look to bounce back after scoring just six points in Game 1.

Luka Doncic is available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder. (Source: Rylan Stiles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Doncic had been listed as probable. He should remain in his usual role.

Maxi Kleber (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Kleber won't play on Tuesday because of a shoulder injury that he recently suffered. The exact extent of the injury is unknown at this point, and there is no clear timetable for his return. Derrick Jones Jr. and Daniel Gafford will both get increased playing time with Kleber sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Jarrett Allen (rib) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Allen has missed some time in the playoffs because of a rib injury, and he may miss Cleveland's Game 1 matchup against the Celtics for the same reason. He's officially questionable to play, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. Tristan Thompson and Isaac Okoro will both continue to see increased minutes if the big man misses another game on Tuesday.

Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) is out again for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Porter has been out for a while because of an ankle injury, and he will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game as well. He doesn't get much playing time even when active, so his absence shouldn't carry any major implications for fantasy purposes.

Rudy Gobert has been ruled out for Game 2 vs. Denver in the second round of the NBA playoffs. (Source: Dane Moore on X)

Fantasy Impact: Gobert was ruled out a little over an hour before tipoff. There was hope that Gobert would be able to play, but weather conditions prevented him from arriving in Denver on time. Naz Reid will likely start in his place.

Devin Booker has reportedly been linked to the Thunder and Spurs this offseason. (Source: TheDunkCentral.com)

Fantasy Impact: After getting swept in the first round by the Timberwolves, it seems pretty evident that changes will be made with the Suns this offseason. Booker appears the most likely player to be moved between him, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. The Knicks have also been rumored to be interested in Booker with the Thunder and Spurs now reportedly being added to the mix.

Klay Thompson and the Orlando Magic reportedly have mutual interest. (Source: Shams Charania)

Fantasy Impact: According to Charania, "The Magic can open up an excess of sixty million dollars in cap space this offseason." After coming up short in its round one series against Cleveland, Orlando will likely be looking to add a shooter or two heading into next season with Thompson being a player to watch for.

Gary Harris will play in Game 7 against the Cavaliers on Sunday. (Source: Orlando Magic PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harris had been listed as questionable, but will return after he was sidelined in Game 6. Jonathan Isaac started in his absence. It is unclear if the Magic will roll with a big lineup again with Isaac or have him return to his reserve role with Harris back in the lineup.

Lonzo Ball picked up his $24.1 million option with the Bulls as expected. This comes after Ball has missed the last two and a half seasons with a knee injury. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on X)

Fantasy Impact: After missing the last two calendar years with injury, it makes sense why Ball would pick up his option, since he hasn't had a consistent chance to showcase his talent. But while the 26-year-old guard has flashes of brilliance and lots of potential, we still haven't seen him play in any capacity since January 2022. He can't be a reliable fantasy asset until he returns to the court consistently, making him a risky pick in drafts.

The Los Angeles Lakers dismissed coach Darvin Ham. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ham spent the past two seasons as the Lakers coach. Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson and JJ Redick have been brought up as potential replacements for the Lakers.

Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Leonard will remain sidelined as the Clippers look to force a Game 7. Paul George and James Harden should continue to take on extended roles.

Terance Mann is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Mann played 32 minutes in the Clippers loss in Game 5. Norman Powell could take on some more minutes if Mann is sidelined.

Tim Hardaway Jr. has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Hardaway will miss his second straight game for the Mavericks. Josh Green and Dante Exum should continue to see some more minutes in his absence.

Patrick Beverley is available for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Beverley was expected to play after being listed as probable. His role will likely take a small step back as Damian Lillard is expected to return.

Khris Middleton is available for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Middleton was expected to play. The Bucks are getting Damian Lillard back, but Middleton should still play a big role.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Antetokounmpo was able to workout on Thursday, but he was still considered a longshot to play. Bobby Portis should continue to take on a bigger role in his absence.

Damian Lillard is expected to make his return on Thursday against the Pacers. (Source: Chris Haynes on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lillard was out on the court during warmups, and is expected to return after he was sidelined in Game 5. Malik Beasley should return to his reserve role as a result.
