Fantasy Impact: Kornet lands on the injury report with the same injury that sidelined him earlier in the playoffs. He should remain in his usual role.

Fantasy Impact: Mitchell is on the injury report, but it would be a surprise if he does not play. His status is worth monitoring nonetheless.

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

Fantasy Impact: Allen last played in Game 4 of last round's series against Orlando. Isaac Okoro figures to remain in the starting lineup for as long as Allen is sidelined.

Fantasy Impact: The knee injury cut Phillips rookie season short this past year. He added that he is back to 100 percent health. He could hold a bigger role next season depending on how the roster shakes out for Chicago.

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.

OG Anunoby has been ruled out for Game 3 in the Eastern Conference semifinals versus the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Anunoby exited in the late third quarter in Game 2 and did not return. The Knicks are absolutely decimated by injuries in the frontcourt, so their options are limited. Precious Achiuwa will likely see increased minutes with Anunoby's absence.

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.

The Hornets have hired Charles Lee to a four-year deal to be their next head coach (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lee had most recently been the top assistant coach for the Celtics, who he'll remain with throughout the rest of the postseason. He has spent the past 12 years coaching in the NBA.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper has been ruled out for Game 2 versus the Thunder with a left ankle sprain. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Prosper has been out with an ankle injury since late April. He has played in forty Mavericks games this season, but only averages 8.4 minutes per game and isn't a huge difference-maker at this point in his career. However, gaining any playoff experience would be helpful to his overall development as a player. The next chance he has to suit up will be May 11th for Game 3 versus the Thunder.

Maxi Kleber has been ruled out for Game 2 on Thursday against the Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Kleber is expected to miss a good chunk of time due to the shoulder injury he suffered in the first round. He will be re-evaluated in about 3 weeks, but in the meantime, teammates Derrick Jones and Daniel Gafford will likely see increased playing time.

Mitchell Robinson sustained a stress injury to his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in 6-to 8-weeks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

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.

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.
