Giannis Antetokounmpo

MIL Power Forward #34

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) has officially been ruled out for Game 1 against the Pacers on Sunday.

Giannis was listed as doubtful for this game, so it isn’t surprising that he won’t be available to suit up. Bobby Portis started in his place to end the regular season, and he should fill the starting void again to start the postseason.

Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Tyler Herro (ribs) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Herro did not travel with the Heat during their recently completed road trip, and he also sat out Saturday’s home loss to the Bulls. The Heat have not provided an update on the guard’s availability beyond Sunday’s injury report, but that may come early next week. Pelle Larsson will continue to start, and he’s worth a look in deep leagues.

Davion Mitchell

MIA Guard #45
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Having missed Miami’s last six games with a strained left shoulder, Mitchell appears poised to return to action on Sunday. If so, his return would likely push Kasparas Jakučionis to the bench. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Jakučionis should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Norman Powell

MIA Guard #24
Norman Powell (personal) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Powell was not available for Saturday’s loss to the Bulls for personal reasons. Myron Gardner filled the resulting void in the starting lineup, recording a double-double in his first career start. While that may be enough to get him another start if Powell remains out, Gardner played 23 minutes to Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s 32 on Saturday.

Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5

Nikola Jović (hip) is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Due to a right hip impingement, Jović is unlikely to play on Sunday. He logged 15 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls, not enough time to have an impact on fantasy basketball. Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio are all available; they’ll likely absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jović.

James Harden

LAC Guard #1
James Harden (personal) is out for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

Harden will not be available for Sunday’s game for personal reasons. His absence leaves a massive hole in the Clippers’ lineup, especially given the team’s lack of point guards. Kris Dunn’s playing time will likely increase after he logged 25 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets. Also, Kawhi Leonard is likely to spend more time on the ball initiating offense.

Russell Westbrook

SAC Guard #18
Russell Westbrook (foot) is out for Sunday’s game against the Wizards.

Westbrook will miss a third consecutive game due to soreness in his right foot. With the Kings reportedly trading Dennis Schröder to the Cavaliers, Westbrook’s absence opens the door for Nique Clifford to move into the starting lineup. While he hasn’t been a consistently productive player, the rookie guard could prove valuable during the silly season.

Bronny James

LAL Guard #9
Bronny James (leg) is out for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

James will not be available for Sunday’s game after initially being listed as questionable. His absence won’t affect fantasy basketball, and there may have been even fewer minutes available to the second-year guard due to Austin Reaves’ potential return from a strained calf.

Coby White

CHI Guard #0
Coby White (calf) and Nikola Vučević (rest) are not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

White and Vučević were held out of Saturday’s win over the Heat, with the former still having his workload managed due to a lingering calf injury. Both will be back in the starting lineup for Sunday’s rematch. While Vučević’s situation is straightforward, as his return pushes Patrick Williams to the bench, White’s is not. Kevin Huerter (back) is questionable; if he can play, either Red Velvet or Ayo Dosunmu will be replaced by White.

Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (calf) is out for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Smith will miss both ends of the Bulls’ road back-to-back in Miami as he continues to deal with right calf tightness. With Nikola Vučević (rest) also out on Saturday, Patrick Williams moved into the starting lineup and played 34 minutes. Vooch is not on the injury report for Sunday, so Williams will return to the bench.

Duop Reath

ATL Center #26

The Hawks have reportedly acquired Duop Reath and two future second-round picks from the Trail Blazers for Vit Krejčí.

Reath recently underwent season-ending surgery on his right foot to address a stress fracture, so he will not help the Hawks address their post depth woes. The draft capital is the “prize” for the Hawks in this transaction. The future second-round picks are a 2027 pick from Portland and a 2030 pick via New York.
