New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's Game 2 against the Atlanta Hawks. As expected, Anunoby is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. He has been dealing with an ankle issue, but it's not serious enough to keep him out of action in this important playoff game. He should take on his usual role in the rotation during Monday's game. He finished with 18 points and eight rebounds across 38 minutes of action during Saturday's win. He's looking like a decent DFS option after nearly posting a double-double on Saturday.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (knee) is available to play ahead of Monday's Game 2 against the New York Knicks. Okongwu has been dealing with right knee inflammation, but it won't be serious enough to hold him out of this game. He finished with 19 points, seven rebounds, and two assists across 37 minutes during Saturday's loss. There's a chance that Okongwu sees a lighter workload due to the ongoing knee problem. If that does happen, Mouhamed Gueye and Tony Bradley would likely take on larger roles. Neither of the two big man are worth a look as DFS options with Okongwu healthy on Monday.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Quickley is set to miss his second straight playoff game while he recovers from a hamstring injury. Jamal Shead started in his place during Saturday's series opener. Shead finished with 17 points and two assists across 26 minutes of action in the loss. He figures to play a similar role against on Monday. Ja'Kobe Walter could also see more playing time, but isn't an ideal DFS option. Brandon Ingram will be asked to do more offensively with Quickley on the sideline.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Deni Avdija posted 30 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block, and two three-pointers in 39 minutes during Sunday's Western Conference first-round loss to San Antonio. He carried the offense early and remained the team's most consistent option, finishing as the lone player to surpass 20 points. Avdija's high usage and all-around production boost his DFS ceiling, especially with limited scoring support. Scoot Henderson provided secondary scoring, while Jrue Holiday handled playmaking duties but struggled to convert efficiently.

Orlando Magic forward/center Paolo Banchero recorded 23 points, nine rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two three-pointers in 37 minutes during Sunday's Eastern Conference first-round win over Detroit. He set the tone early and handled the scoring load, with most of his production coming before the fourth quarter as Orlando stayed in control. Banchero continues to anchor the offense with steady usage, giving him a reliable DFS ceiling. Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane round out the offense, while Banchero's all-around role keeps his production consistent.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham poured in 39 points with five rebounds, four assists, and three three-pointers in 40 minutes during Sunday's loss to Orlando. He handled the bulk of the offense, scoring consistently and drawing fouls, but had limited support as the Pistons struggled to find efficient offense. Cunningham's high usage gives him a strong DFS ceiling, though assists may be inconsistent if shots aren't falling around him. Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren need to provide more consistent scoring to ease the burden.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren finished with eight points, seven rebounds, one assist, and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's Eastern Conference first-round loss to Orlando. He played solid minutes but had limited involvement, attempting just four shots and failing to make a consistent impact offensively. Duren's role remains secure, but his DFS value depends on increased usage and activity on the glass. Cade Cunningham continues to dominate touches, while Tobias Harris may take on more scoring responsibility if Duren remains a low-usage option.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams recorded 22 points, seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's Western Conference first-round win over Phoenix. He contributed across the board and stayed efficient, helping Oklahoma City maintain control in a one-sided game. The blowout limited his minutes, but Williams' balanced production keeps his DFS appeal strong, especially in competitive matchups. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains the primary option, while Chet Holmgren continues to provide secondary scoring and defensive support alongside Williams.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker finished with 23 points, six rebounds, and two assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's Western Conference first-round loss to Oklahoma City. He led the team in scoring and shot efficiently compared to his teammates, but the offense struggled to generate consistent support in a lopsided defeat. Booker remains the focal point with elite usage, keeping his DFS floor stable despite the blowout risk. Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks continue to handle secondary scoring roles, though both need improved efficiency to ease the pressure on Booker.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama finished with 35 points, five rebounds, one assist, and two blocks in 33 minutes during Sunday's Western Conference first-round win over Portland. He led the offense, knocking down five triples while converting efficiently inside and at the line. His peripheral stats were lighter than usual, but the scoring output carried DFS value. De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle handled secondary playmaking, while Wembanyama's usage remains elite, giving him one of the highest ceilings on the slate even if his rebounds and defensive stats don't always follow.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander produced 25 points, four rebounds, seven assists, and two blocks in 29 minutes during Sunday's Western Conference first-round win over Phoenix. His shot did not fall consistently, but he controlled the game by drawing fouls and creating offense, finishing with heavy free-throw production. The blowout limited his minutes, slightly capping his DFS ceiling despite strong usage. Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren remain key secondary options, while SGA's ability to generate points at the line keeps his floor stable in all formats.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George recorded 17 points, four rebounds, and one assist in 28 minutes during Sunday's Eastern Conference first-round loss to Boston. He was efficient from the field and active at the free-throw line, but his low shot volume limited his overall impact. With Joel Embiid (abdomen) sidelined, George will need to take on a more aggressive scoring role to complement Tyrese Maxey's heavy usage. Kelly Oubre Jr. and VJ Edgecombe remain involved offensively, but George's DFS ceiling hinges on increased attempts and a larger share of the offense.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey finished with 21 points, eight assists, and one rebound in 37 minutes during Sunday's loss to Boston. He carried the offense, leading the team in both scoring and playmaking, though his efficiency dipped against a disciplined Celtics defense that limited his perimeter looks. With Joel Embiid (abdomen) sidelined, Maxey remains the clear offensive engine and should continue to command heavy usage in DFS. Paul George and Kelly Oubre Jr. are next in line for scoring support, while VJ Edgecombe may see added opportunities as a secondary option.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown scored 26 points with four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two three-pointers in 30 minutes during Sunday's win over Philadelphia. He took control in the second half, driving Boston's offense before sitting out the fourth quarter in a lopsided finish. Brown's efficient scoring and steady role next to Jayson Tatum give him a high DFS ceiling, especially in closer games. Tatum continues to share primary usage, while Derrick White handles secondary playmaking duties and remains a reliable floor spacer.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) is out for Monday's Game 2 against Minnesota, extending his absence to seven straight games due to a right hamstring strain. His continued absence keeps Denver's wing rotation tight, with Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. handling steady bench roles. Brown posted eight points, seven rebounds, three assists, and five steals in 21 minutes in Game 1, offering strong DFS value through defensive stats, while Hardaway logged seven points with a three in 24 minutes. Both remain solid value options, while Spencer Jones is more of a risky tournament option.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum recorded 25 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's Game 1 blowout win over Philadelphia. He set the tone early with a strong first quarter and controlled the game as a rebounder and facilitator, finishing just short of a triple-double. While his perimeter shot lagged at one make from deep, his all-around production remains elite for DFS. Tatum continues to anchor Boston's offense alongside Jaylen Brown, with Derrick White taking on added secondary playmaking responsibilities in the starting unit.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against Denver due to ongoing right knee maintenance. He logged a team-high 38 minutes in Game 1, finishing with 22 points, two three-pointers, nine rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks, though his shooting efficiency lagged. If Edwards is limited, Julius Randle and Naz Reid should take on heavier scoring and usage loads, while Donte DiVincenzo and Ayo Dosunmu could see increased minutes and secondary ball-handling duties. Edwards remains a must-start if active, though the knee concern slightly caps his DFS ceiling.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Thomas Bryant (calf) will remain sidelined on Monday against the Toronto Raptors. He suffered a left-calf injury late in the regular season and was also out for Game 1 against Toronto. With Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley healthy, Bryant's absence doesn't mean much for the Cavaliers, and he likely won't be rushed back. Even with Bryant out of the lineup, Larry Nance Jr. saw only garbage-time minutes in the series opener and probably won't have a regular role this postseason.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (lung) will shed his minutes restriction for Sunday's playoff opener against the Orlando Magic, Eric Rutter of Roundtable reports. After returning from a collapsed lung late in the regular season, Cunningham was limited to just 25.3 minutes per game across three contests. On Sunday, he should be ready for a full workload of 30-plus minutes. Cunningham has been a nightmare for the Magic this season, averaging 32.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 10.7 assists, and 1.7 steals in 37.7 minutes per game against them.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is listed as probable on the injury report before Monday's Game 2 clash against the Atlanta Hawks. Anunoby hurt his left ankle in Saturday's Game 1 win, but the injury isn't expected to keep him sidelined on Monday night. On Saturday, Anunoby enjoyed a strong start to this first-round matchup, amassing 18 points, eight rebounds, and one steal in 38 minutes. He knocked down two triples with three attempts and had a 6-for-9 record overall from the field. If Anunoby has a setback and is forced to sit out Monday's action, the Knicks' bench, led by Miles McBride and Landry Shamet, will have a larger role.
