Jericho Sims is available for Thursday's game against the 49ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Sims has yet to play in a game in this series for the Knicks.

Mitchell Robinson is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson returned in Game 5 where he combined for five blocks and steals. He should remain in a similar role behind Isaiah Hartenstein.

Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Leonard has been able to appear in two games in this series against the Mavericks, but he's set to miss Game 5 on Wednesday night because of his knee injury. It continues to be a lingering issue for him, and the team has yet to place a timetable on his return. Amir Coffey should continue to be the primary beneficiary of his absence from a workload perspective.

Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) is unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Wednesday will mark the third-straight game that Hardaway has missed because of an ankle injury. The exact timetable for his recovery is unclear as of now, but the team hopes that he will be back sooner rather than later. Josh Green will continue to see increased minutes while the veteran remains sidelined.

Luka Doncic (knee) is expected to play in Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Doncic's knee injury leaves him with an injury designation ahead of Wednesday night's game, but he's officially probable and should play against the Clippers. He should start and continue to see an elite workload in a playoff matchup against the Clippers.

Duncan Robinson (back) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson will suit up for Miami on Wednesday. He's listed on the team's injury report because of a back injury, but they have already upgraded him to available for their major matchup against Boston. Jimmy Butler (knee) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) are both unavailable to play, so Robinson may see more work than usual in Miami's rotation.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The rookie will miss Wednesday's game after injuring his hip in Miami's last contest. The exact severity of it is unknown at this point, but with Miami being down 3-1 and facing elimination, he may not see the court again this season. Jimmy Butler (knee) also remains out, so Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic are both likely to see increased minutes against Boston.

Haywood Highsmith (foot) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Highsmith is listed on Miami's injury report because of a foot injury that he's dealing with, but it's not considered serious and he will be available to play through it against Boston. Miami is currently down 3-1 in the series, so they will need him and several other players to perform very well if they want to avoid elimination.

Terry Rozier (neck) is still out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: A neck injury will leave Rozier sidelined again on Wednesday. That shouldn't be a surprise to fantasy managers, as he hasn't taken the court since early April due to that issue. Delon Wright will continue to see increased minutes while the veteran is sidelined again.

Jimmy Butler (knee) remains out for Wednesday night's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Butler will miss yet another game because of a knee injury. Miami is currently down 3-1 against the #1 seed Celtics, so it looks like they could be facing elimination in his absence. Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic will both continue to see more work while the star forward remains out.

Jarrett Allen has officially been ruled out for Game 5 of the first round of the NBA playoffs. (Source: Shams Charania on X)

Fantasy Impact: Allen was a late add to the injury report for Game 5 against the Magic. This comes as a brutal blow to the Cavs, as Allen has been playing at a high level this series. Evan Mobley is sliding into the starting center spot with Isaac Okoro taking his spot at the power forward position. Both players, along with Georges Niang, will likely see increased minutes in Allen's absence.

Bojan Bogdanovic will undergo season-ending surgery on his foot Wednesday. Bogdanovic was previously ruled out for Game 5 vs. the 76ers, but now it has been announced he will be missing the rest of the season as well. The 6'7 Serbian was playing through a wrist injury when he got injured in Game 4 versus the 76ers. He is also expected to have surgery on his wrist, although the timeline is unknown. (Source: Shams Charania on X)

Fantasy Impact: With Bogdanovic's absence, the Knicks will be shorthanded for the rest of the playoffs. There has been no confirmation on Mitchell Robinson's status for Game 5, but if he is also out, both Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa could see increased minutes as the Knicks aim to eliminate the 76ers. Long term, Robinson could also step into the rotation more and provide more depth to the depleted frontcourt.

Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) is still out for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Porter will miss yet another game on Tuesday because of an ankle injury. It's a mildly serious issue, and he hasn't been able to take the court for a good chunk of time because of it. His absence will continue to have a minimal impact on Cleveland's rotation against the Magic.
