Latest Player News

All Player News

Luka Doncic

DAL Point Guard #77

Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

As has been the case throughout this series, Doncic is on the Mavericks’ preliminary injury report. He’s yet to miss a game this postseason, and the probable tag suggests that will continue to be the case on Saturday night. DFS players should plan for Doncic to be on the court and approach (if not exceed) 40 minutes as the Mavericks look to close out Oklahoma City.
Jaden McDaniels

MIN Power Forward #3

Jaden McDaniels racked up 21 points (8-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) to go along with four rebounds, an assist, a steal, two blocks, and three made 3-pointers in 31 minutes.

McDaniels has been fairly quiet offensively since the first round but topped 20 points for the second time this postseason on Thursday while trailing only Aaron Gordon in blocks. The Timberwolves wing affected his team’s offense and defense and offense significantly in a must-win contest.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Shooting Guard #5

Anthony Edwards erupted for 27 points (8-of-17 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs) to go along with four rebounds, five assists, a block, and four made 3-pointers in 31 minutes.

Edwards bounced back from his lackluster Game 5 performance and eclipsed 25 points for the third time in the series. The Timberwolves star also led all players in free throw attempts and steals in a well-rounded performance.
Aaron Gordon

DEN Power Forward #50

Aaron Gordon amassed 12 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) with eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks, and a pair of 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

Gordon surprisingly only trailed Nikola Jokic in points among Nuggets players and did a little bit of everything. He was efficient on offense and disruptive on defense in the Nuggets’ big loss while many of his teammates struggled.
Nikola Jokic

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokic scored a team-high 22 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) on Thursday. He snared nine rebounds to go along with two assists and missed all four of his attempts from 3-point range.

Jokic flirted with a double-double but didn’t do nearly enough to keep Denver in Game 5. He shot under 50% from the field for the second time in the series and will get a chance to bounce back for Game 7 back home.
Jamal Murray

DEN Point Guard #27

Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is active for Thursday’s Nuggets-Timberwolves matchup.

Murray hasn’t missed a playoff game yet this year. While his playoff performance has dipped lately, he should take on his usual workload.
Mike Conley

MIN Point Guard #10

Mike Conley (right Achilles strain) has been upgraded from probable to active for Thursday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets game

Conley is good to go after missing his last game and is likely start and bump Nickeil Alexader-Walker back to the bench.
OG Anunoby

NYK Small Forward #8

OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Friday’s Game 6 matchup between the Knicks and Pacers.

Anonoby is set to miss his forth consecutive game. The Knicks will likely start Precious Achiuwa or Miles McBride in his place.
Mike Conley

MIN Point Guard #10

Mike Conley (right Achilles strain) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets matchup.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker filled in for Conley in Game 5, but it appears like Minnesota’s floor general is trending toward playing again after a one-game layoff. NAW will likely return to the bench with Conley back in the rotation.
Jalen Williams

OKC Small Forward #8

Jalen Williams shot 6-of-13 from the field in Wednesday’s loss to the Mavericks, scoring 12 points with six rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 39 minutes.

After scoring at least 19 points in all four games of Oklahoma City’s first-round sweep of New Orleans, JDub has been held in check by Dallas. Game 3 was the only game in which he scored 20 points or more, and he shot 11-of-32 from the field in Games 4 and 5. The steals production has provided DFS players with some production, but Williams has to be more productive as a scorer if Oklahoma City is to force a decisive Game 7. Game 6 is on Saturday night in Dallas.
