Jalen Williams exited Game 3 versus the Mavericks towards the end of the third quarter with an apparent left leg injury. He returned to the bench after a brief visit to the locker room, then checked back in the game shortly after his return. (Source: Tim McMahon on X)

Fantasy Impact: Williams has been a key contributor to the Thunder when he's remained healthy. Since he was able to return to the game, it bodes well for his status moving forward, but it worth keeping an eye on the practice reports for Game 4.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (abdominal contusion) is listed as questionable for Game 3 in the Western Conference semifinals against the Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Caldwell-Pope is a solid role player that hasn't been as effective recently, but he has averaged 32 minutes per game this series. Teammates Jamal Murray and Reggie Jackson are also listed as questionable, so it looks like the Nuggets may need to go further into their rotation to fill in valuable minutes provided by KCP and his other questionable teammates. Christian Braun and Justin Holiday may see increased minutes if KCP or either one of his teammates misses Game 3.

Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) has been listed as questionable for Game 3 in the Western Conference semifinals versus the Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Jackson was injured early in the fourth quarter and immediately went back to the locker room and did not return. Before his injury, Jackson didn't make much of an impact, scoring only three points. However, with Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also questionable, Jackson's injury is worth monitoring as the Nuggets could go into Game 3 shorthanded in the backcourt.

Jamal Murray is questionable for Game 3 with a left calf strain. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Murray hasn't looked right all series, and some of that can be attributed to this injury. When healthy, Murray has the ability to get hot from behind the arc, but that has not been showcased in this series. Murray is listed as questionable along with fellow guards Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Reggie Jackson. If any combination of these three are unable to play, Christian Braun and Justin Holiday may need to step in to provide solid minutes at both the point guard and shooting guard positions.

Tyrese Haliburton has been deemed questionable for Game 3 versus the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Haliburton has been dealing with back spasms for the past few games, but he has not missed any time in this series. After a rough Game 1 performance, Haliburton bounced back with a 34 point, 9 assist, and 6 rebound showing in Game 2. If he is unable to play, T.J. McConnell will likely step in as the starting point guard.

Jalen Brunson has been listed as questionable for Game 3 in the Eastern Conference semi-finals versus the Pacers with right foot soreness. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Brunson caused a scare for Knicks fans when he exited Game 2 with his foot injury. However, he still finished with 29 points, 5 assists, and 3 steals. His return to Game 2 bodes well for his Game 3 status, but it is worth monitoring as the Knicks look to take a commanding 3-0 series league.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Terry Rozier (neck) is still out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: A neck injury will leave Rozier sidelined again on Wednesday. That shouldn't be a surprise to fantasy managers, as he hasn't taken the court since early April due to that issue. Delon Wright will continue to see increased minutes while the veteran is sidelined again.

Delon Wright has been listed as available for Game 4 of the NBA playoffs vs. the Celtics after missing Game 3 due to personal reasons. (Source: Anthony Chiang on X)

Fantasy Impact: In the two games Wright has played in this series, he has averaged 11 points in 23 minutes of playing time. He provides more depth to the Heat who are already shorthanded without starters Terry Rozier and Jimmy Butler. The Heat have a chance to tie up the series against the Celtics, and they will need Wright to provide a spark off the bench in order to do so.

Grayson Allen is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Allen banged up an already injured right ankle in Game 2 and did not return. Eric Gordon would be in line for more minutes if Allen is sidelined.

De'Anthony Melton is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Melton is looking to make his playoff debut if he is cleared to play. He'll likely be eased back into action if he is available.

Tyrese Maxey is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Maxey was questionable ahead of Game 2 but wound up playing in his usual role. He'll look to help the 76ers avoid a 3-0 deficit in the series on Thursday.

AJ Green is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Green is set to return from a two-game absence. He'll likely remain in a very limited role.

Eric Gordon is available for Sunday's game against Minnesota. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Gordon is set to return after he was sidelined the final two games of the regular season. He should remain in his usual role off the bench for the Suns.

Darius Garland is available for Saturday's game against Orlando. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Garland sat out the regular season finale for the Cavaliers. He should remain in his usual role for Game 1 against the Magic.

Tyler Herro is available for Friday's game against the Bulls. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Herro should take on an expanded role for the Heat with Jimmy Butler sidelined. He played 41 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the 76ers.

Ayo Dosunmu is available for Friday's game against the Heat. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Dosunmu had been listed as questionable, but his status was never in doubt. He should remain in his usual role.

Alex Caruso is available for Friday's game against Miami. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Wesley Matthews is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bulls. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Matthews missed several games to close the regular season for the Hawks. He should remain in a limited role off the bench for Atlanta.
