Turner is on track to play in Sunday’s regular-season finale after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Pacers. His return would push Thomas Bryant to the bench. However, the Pacers’ backup center should still play plenty, as Indiaha has secured the four-seed in the East. Look for Tony Bradley to be in the rotation, even if his playing time is limited during the first half.

After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Magic, Haliburton and Siakam are off the initial injury report. That defeat locked Indiana into the fourth seed in the East, so there isn’t anything on the line for the Pacers on Sunday. Even if Haliburton and Siakam play, they’re unlikely to log starters’ minutes ahead of the playoffs.

Sheppard has missed four games with a toe injury, and the doubtful tag suggests Sunday’s season finale will be the fifth. Indiana is locked into the four-seed in the East, so there’s no reason for the team to roll the dice with any player who may not be 100 percent. Expect to see Johnny Furphy playing rotation minutes.

Yabusele has missed Philadelphia’s last three games, missing time due to personal reasons and a knee issue. The latter is why he appears on the injury report for Sunday’s finale. Adem Bona will play plenty regardless of Yabusele’s availability, and Alex Reese (Achilles) has been removed from the injury report.

Lowry will sit out the 76ers’ finale, which is an unfortunate end to a disappointing season. The veteran point guard only appeared in 35 games and finished ranked outside the top 300 in eight-cat formats. His days of impacting fantasy basketball are likely in the rearview mirror.

The 76ers have secured the fifth-best odds in next month’s draft lottery, increasing the likelihood that they’ll hold onto their top-six protected first-round pick. Sunday’s result won’t change that, which may increase Grimes’s chances of playing. To say he’s likely earned himself some money ahead of restricted free agency with his play over the past month would be an understatement. As for Edwards, he’s also played well when available, with the 76ers converting him to a standard contract just before the All-Star break.

Ball will miss Sunday’s regular season finale and has not appeared in a game since February. The question is whether or not he’ll be available for Chicago’s play-in tournament matchup with Miami. Kevin Huerter will remain the starter, and the change has raised Red Velvet’s fantasy ceiling. However, since the Bulls are locked into the nine-seed, he may not play starters’ minutes on Sunday.

Bridges and Williams will be unavailable for Charlotte’s season finale, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Tidjane Salaue and Jusuf Nurkic are the likely starters, with Moussa Diabate (illness, questionable) also factoring into the center rotation if he’s allowed to play. Bridges performed to expectation this season, providing sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. While Williams exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (102), injuries limited him to 44 appearances. The young center possesses a high fantasy ceiling, but the injury history makes him challenging to trust in competitive leagues.

Diabate has missed Charlotte’s last two games due to illness, while Smith had to leave Friday’s loss to the Celtics due to groin tightness. If allowed to play in Sunday’s season finale, both players will figure prominently in the Hornets’ rotation. Diabate offers a safer floor and higher ceiling in active fantasy leagues, as Mark Williams will not play.

Alvarado is looking more and more like a traditional closer. The Phillies probably didn’t need to use him up three against the bottom of the Cardinals order today, but they did so anyway. He retired the side on only 11 pitches, so he should be available again Sunday.

Atlanta is locked into the eight-seed in the East and will visit Orlando in the first round of next week’s play-in tournament. There’s nothing on the line for Sunday’s regular-season matchup, which may prompt the Hawks to rest key players like Okongwu and Daniels. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci are two of the players who would play more if the Hawks decide to rest their starters.

Young is on the Hawks’ initial injury report for the same issue as in previous games, but he’s considered questionable for Sunday instead of probable. The Hawks will visit Orlando for their play-in tournament matchup early next week, and the outcome of the regular season finale won’t change that. If Young doesn’t play, look for Keaton Wallace to log significant minutes.

There’s nothing on the line for the Celtics on Sunday, as they have already secured the two-seed in the Eastern Conference. White and Holiday will get the day off to rest for the playoffs.

Boston is locked into the two-seed in the East, so there’s no reason for the team’s core players to see action in Sunday’s regular-season finale. Brown and Tatum are among the absentees, with the former’s status being more concerning. Brown has received pain management injections in his right knee, but the expectation is that he’ll be good to go for the playoffs. Tatum is simply resting on Sunday. Sam Hauser and Baylor Scheierman will play rotation minutes against the Hornets.

After suffering a torn ACL late last season, Bey has not appeared in a game during his first season with the Wizards.

Poole and Holmes will not be available for Sunday’s season finale, with the former’s absence being more impactful. Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson have been the starting guards, which will likely remain the case against the Heat. Poole’s 2024-25 season was very good for him, even if the individual resurgence did not result in more wins for the Wizards. As for Holmes, he had a limited impact on fantasy basketball and is unlikely to be a draftable player in most fantasy leagues next fall.

Towns did not play in Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers, while Brunson was active for both games of New York’s final back-to-back.

Cameron Payne and Mitchell Robinson are the likely starters if Towns and Brunson do not play.

The Heat are locked into the 10-seed regardless of Sunday’s result, so players like Keshad Johnson and Josh Christopher should play plenty.

Edwards was whistled for a technical foul against the Nets on Friday, which was his 18th of the season. If it wasn’t rescinded, he would’ve been suspended for a must-win game against Utah on Sunday. Now, he’ll be available to play. Minnesota can still finish anywhere from fourth to eighth in the West, so they need to beat the Jazz and have some other games go their way. Edwards’ availability will help their chances of winning.
