Williams didn’t return after suffering an injury against the Grizzlies on Sunday. There’s a chance Williams be active for the play-in tournament, but Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy will handle the point guard duties if he’s ruled out.

Butler injured his thigh during Sunday’s overtime loss to the Clippers. He played through it and said after that he would play against Memphis, and the initial injury report lines up with his statement. Butler should see a heavy workload in a matchup to make the playoffs and take on the Rockets in the first round.

Even in the postseason, Atlanta is still listing Young as probable ahead of every game. There isn’t a chance that he sits out, so expect him to occupy his typical spot in the starting unit in the 7/8 matchup, with a chance to play the Celtics in the first round on the line.

Butler’s final stat line on Sunday was outstanding but came with some pain. He took a Kawhi Leonard knee to the left thigh during overtime but stayed in the game. That injury, combined with Stephen Curry’s right thumb, is why the Warriors could have used the time off that would have come with a victory over the Clippers. Instead, Butler and the Warriors will host the Grizzlies on Tuesday. Following the game, Butler said he was fine and will be in the lineup, but don’t be surprised if Jimmy is on the initial injury report.

While the addition of Jimmy Butler has negatively impacted Jonathan Kuminga’s (DNP-CD on Sunday) playing time and fantasy value, that has not been the case for Podziemski. The second-year guard has played well since the February trade deadline, providing eighth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Podziemski’s emergence will be key for the Warriors, as they’ll need to beat Memphis on Tuesday to earn the seventh seed in the West. Houston will be the first-round opponent for the winner of that game, while the loser plays the Sacramento/Dallas winner for the eighth seed.

Curry has been dealing with a right thumb injury, the severity of which has not been made public. With that in mind, it would have been nice for the Warriors to win Sunday’s game, as they would have avoided the play-in tournament. Instead, they’ll host Memphis on Tuesday, with the winner being the seventh seed in the West. The good news for Curry and the Warriors was that he shot the ball well on Sunday, but he must clean up the turnovers after committing eight against the Clippers.

Harden and the Clippers did what many did not believe them capable of before the season began, avoiding the play-in tournament due to their win in San Francisco. The Beard finished a game with at least 30 points and 10 assists for the 106th time in his career, tied for second-most in league history. Due to Sunday’s victory, the Clippers will be the fifth seed in the West, and they’ll face Denver in the first round.

Zubac, one of the most improved players in the NBA this season, ended his regular season with another stellar performance. He’s recorded his 59th double-double and 15th in as many games. Thanks to their win over the Warriors, the Clippers will be the fifth seed in the West, with Denver being their first-round opponent. To say the matchup with Nikola Jokic will be challenging for Zubac would be an understatement, but he has been excellent this season.

Leonard was outstanding on Sunday, as the Clippers’ overtime victory gave the team the fifth seed in the West. His workload was just as encouraging as Leonard’s production, as he played 47 of 53 minutes without issues. The Clippers avoiding the play-in tournament gets their stars additional time off ahead of next weekend’s Game 1 in Denver, which could be critical for Leonard. After years of struggling with injuries, he appears to be in his best form.

Robinson-Earl struggled with his shot in Sunday’s season finale, but he did provide solid value in the rebound and assist categories. He didn’t offer much value throughout the season, as rotation minutes were not guaranteed. Unfortunately for Robinson-Earl, he’s likely to encounter a similar situation in New Orleans next season with a healthy Zion Williamson in the fold.

Alvarado struggled in his season finale, especially from a ball security standpoint. The Pelicans’ point guard recorded six turnovers. Add in the poor shooting from the field, and this was a rough afternoon to stream Alvarado in active fantasy leagues. A backup when the Pelicans are whole, Alvarado’s fantasy value is limited. With Dejounte Murray recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, will New Orleans look to add another point guard over the summer? Or would they be fine handing the keys to Alvarado to begin the season? Those questions will significantly impact Alvarado’s 2025-26 draft position. Alvarado’s two-year, $9 million extension will kick in next season.

Reeves finished his rookie season with an eighth consecutive game in double figures, tallying 20 points or more twice. He’s one of the young Pelicans whose playing time increased once more established players were sidelined by injuries, which should temper the fantasy expectations for Reeves in 2025-26.

Already playing without Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, the Thunder lost Jaylin Williams to a strained oblique during the first half of Sunday’s game. The result was even more playing time for Carlson, who had the best day of his NBA career. Not only did the rookie record season highs in points and rebounds, but this was also his first double-double. Unlike Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe, Carlson will not be in the Thunder playoff rotation, even if Williams misses time. But he undoubtedly made a positive impression with his play in New Orleans.

Joe did not have the best afternoon shooting-wise, making 33.3 percent of his attempts. The good news for managers in active category leagues is that he recorded solid numbers in the rebound and steals categories. Like Aaron Wiggins, Joe will be in the playoff rotation, but the role will be far different than in Oklahoma City’s final two regular-season games.

Even if one accepts that New Orleans is one of the NBA’s worst teams, Sunday’s victory was another example of Oklahoma City’s depth. Down most of their critical rotation pieces, the Thunder still rolled, with Wiggins among the standouts. In wins over the Jazz and Pelicans to end the season, he scored 63 points on 22-of-42 shooting from the field. Wiggins will be in the playoff rotation, but the role won’t be as robust as it was with players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams unavailable.

After missing Friday’s game against the Suns, Johnson was available for San Antonio’s season finale. He ended up being their leading scorer off the bench to help them end the year on a high note. Johnson’s season was disappointing as his points, rebounds, assists, three-pointers and minutes all took a big hit. He averaged just 12.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 triples in a 23.9 minutes per game, though he was available for 77 games. He may not be a great fantasy option, but Johnson is a really strong reserve scorer for a Spurs team that should make a return to the postseason next year.

The undrafted rookie wrapped up his first season in the NBA on a high note. Battle set new career highs for both points and three-pointers and became the 48th rookie in league history to hit seven triples in one game. He is the fourth rookie this season to reach that mark, with Bub Carrington, Dalton Knecht and Jaylen Wells also doing it. Battle has played well as part of Toronto’s rotation over the past month, but there likely won’t be minutes for him with the Raptors to start next season.

Tshiebwe hasn’t been able to carve out a role in the NBA since going undrafted in 2023, but whenever he gets the opportunity to play, he dominates the glass. He has played in 10 games since the All-Star break and has finished with at least 10 rebounds in eight of them. Sunday’s game was his third-straight double-double, which is a great way for him to end the season. Unfortunately, there isn’t currently a clear path for him to play rotation minutes next season, so we may have to wait until next March and April for him to shine.

It was a balanced attack for Denver as six players scored in double figures, with none of them reaching 20 points. MPJ led the way, though just barely. Still, he was able to have an efficient shooting night to help the Nuggets win a third-straight game and clinch the fourth seed in the West. They will host the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs after getting a week off. Porter Jr. ends the regular season with averages of 18.2 points, seven rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.5 threes per game while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor.

Gordon did a little bit of everything in this game to help Denver clinch the fourth seed in the West. It was a balanced attack for Denver, and they ended up taking control of the game in the third quarter, which limited Gordon to just 26 minutes. However, he was still able to turn in a full stat line. They will get a week off before taking on the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs.

Though he didn’t have an efficient shooting performance, Castle was able to close out his rookie season on a high note. This was his eighth-straight game with at least five assists, and he has scored at least 20 points in four of those games. Castle will likely be named the Rookie of the Year for this season, and he has a bright future ahead of him. However, while he will have a good chance to start for the Spurs next season, he may not make the same statistical impact with the rest of the team healthy.

Huff did not start Sunday’s game, but that did not prevent him from putting on a show on both ends of the floor. He recorded career highs in points and blocks, finishing with a robust stat line sure to benefit any fantasy manager who rolled the dice on him. Due to Memphis’s overall depth, Huff has not been a consistent factor in fantasy basketball. However, he’s good enough to offer solid streaming value when the Grizzlies are shorthanded, as they were on Sunday.

He struggled as a scorer in his first career start, but James was able to impact the game in other ways. He set new career highs for both assists and steals while playing a career-high 38 minutes.

It was good to get an extended look at the rookie, but he won’t be part of the rotation in the playoffs.

Spencer was one of three Grizzlies to finish Sunday’s blowout with new career-high point totals, with Lamar Stevens and Jay Huff being the others. The second-round pick out of UConn did not have the best field-goal percentage, but the assists, steals and three-pointers will help compensate for that. Spencer is unlikely to factor into the Grizzlies’ post-season rotation. Memphis begins on Tuesday against the Warriors in the Play-In Tournament.

With Bagley and Lamar Stevens (31 points) putting up at least 25 points each, a franchise-record 12 players have accomplished that feat this season. Bagley started for Zach Edey and had a big afternoon as a scorer and rebounder. He’s unlikely to provide much value off the bench in the postseason, but Sunday’s performance may improve Bagley’s prospects for the 2025-26 campaign.

Memphis entered Sunday knowing it would be in the play-in tournament. So, the team rested most of its rotation players, freeing up opportunities for guys like Stevens. He took advantage of his chance, recording his first 30-point game. Stevens’s inability to stick in the NBA makes him a non-factor in fantasy basketball, but days like Sunday will keep him on teams’ radars. The Grizzlies will visit Golden State on Tuesday, with the winner receiving the seventh seed and the loser having to play the Sacramento/Dallas winner for the eighth seed.
