NBA Playoff Highlights

Rotoworld

LaMelo Ball

CHA Guard #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

LaMelo Ball accounted for 19 points (7-of-19 FGs), seven rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and five three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Knicks.

Ball finished Sunday’s victory with a complete stat line, but the efficiency was somewhat lacking. A 5-of-16 night from beyond the arc lowered the overall field-goal percentage, and he was also responsible for five turnovers. However, Ball has made strides in his efficiency this season, which is one reason the Hornets managed to qualify for the Play-In Tournament. They’ll need to win two games to reach the playoffs, starting with the Heat on Wednesday.

Mark Williams

PHX Center #15

Mark Williams (foot) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Warriors.

Williams, who sat out the Suns’ last regular-season game, logged 22 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. Oso Ighodaro was his replacement in the starting lineup on most nights during the regular season, and that should remain the case on Friday if Williams can’t play.

Quinten Post

GSW Center #21

Quinten Post (foot) is out for Friday’s game against the Suns.

Post, who last appeared in a game on March 29, remains out for Friday’s Play-In Tournament game. The Warriors went with an eight-man rotation on Wednesday against the Clippers, and that’s likely to remain the case as long as Kristaps Porziņǵis (ankle; questionable) is available.

Kristaps Porziņģis

GSW Forward-Center #7
Kristaps Porziņǵis (ankle) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Suns.

One day removed from playing 28 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers, Porziņǵis is on the injury report due to a sore left ankle. If he’s unable to play on Friday, the Warriors may turn to Al Horford, who logged 22 minutes on Wednesday. That would mean more minutes for Gary Payton II as well, even though he does not share a position with Porziņǵis or Horford.

Moussa Diabaté

CHA Forward #14
Moussa Diabaté (hip) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Magic.

Diabaté, who finished Tuesday’s overtime win over the Heat with eight points, 14 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in 36 minutes, is dealing with a sore left hip. If he’s unable to play on Friday, the Hornets would turn to Ryan Kalkbrenner and Grant Williams to fill the resulting void.

Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8
According to Suns head coach Jordan Ott, Grayson Allen (hamstring) is progressing in his recovery.

Allen injured his hamstring during the Suns’ penultimate game of the regular season, an April 10 loss to the Lakers. According to Ott, the veteran guard’s availability for Friday’s Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors will depend on whether he can sprint. Royce O’Neale and Collin Gillespie take on added importance in their respective roles with Allen unavailable.

Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Hornets.

Isaac has been sidelined for over a month, most recently sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers. While his return would give the Magic another option in the frontcourt, the 6-foot-10 forward’s minutes are likely to be limited once he’s cleared to play.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the 76ers are preparing to be without Joel Embiid (appendicitis) to begin the first round of the playoffs.

While Embiid’s status for the 76ers’ first round series against the Hornets hasn’t been made official, he’s unlikely to be ready for the start of the series. Charania reports the 76ers are preparing to begin the series without their 32-year-old superstar. Paul George and Tyrese Maxey will take on added importance in his absence. Theoretically, Embiid could be available later in the series.

Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2
ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic will be eligible for all 2025-26 season honors after challenging the NBA’s 65-game award rule.

The NBA ruled in favor of Cunningham and Doncic on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule. Both players will now be eligible for season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams. Doncic missed two games in December due to the birth of his child and Cunningham suffered a collapsed lung. Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards also filed a challenge, but was denied and is not eligible for awards, according to Charania.

Jock Landale

ATL Center #31
Jock Landale (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Landale will miss the first round of the playoffs. The 30-year-old center sustained a high ankle sprain against the Magic on April 1 and has progressed in his rehabilitation, but isn’t ready to return yet. Mo Gueye and Tony Bradley will be the backup center options for the Hawks in their series against the Knicks.

Bennedict Mathurin

LAC Guard-Forward #9

Bennedict Mathurin led the Clippers with 23 points (7-of-11 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, three steals and five three-pointers in a 126-121 loss to the Warriors on Wednesday.

There were certainly some lows for Mathurin in April, but he was able to end his first season as a Clipper with back-to-back 20-point outings. There aren’t any questions about his scoring ability, but he hasn’t been able to contribute value in other categories consistently, and that is unlikely to change next season. He’s still a talented young guard, and he played well in this game, but that shouldn’t change how fantasy managers view him heading into next season.
