Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon had a red-hot outing against the Timberwolves in Game 4 on Sunday, hitting 27 points with 11-for-12 shooting from the field. Gordon's only miss came on a jump shot 3:39 from the end when the Nuggets were already cruising to victory. He made both attempts from deep and shot 3-for-3 at the line, capping off the night with seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and one steal. Gordon set his career playoff high with 29 points versus the Lakers a couple of weeks back and now boasts three 20-plus efforts in total this postseason. He's been extremely efficient with his work on the offensive end against Minnesota, averaging 17.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.5 steals with 71.8 percent shooting.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic shot 15-for-26 from the field en route to 35 points in Sunday's Game 4 victory against Minnesota. The three-time MVP produced his highest-scoring performance of the 2024 playoffs, helping the defending champs tie the second-round series. Four of Jokic's misses came with five attempts from deep as he also collected seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block to his account. After struggling for efficiency at the start of the series against Minnesota, Jokic has shot 25-for-44 across the last two games. With him in improved form, the Nuggets have begun to turn the series around and can go up 3-2 on home court Tuesday night.

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell played a big part in Sunday's 121-89 win over the Knicks with 15 points and 10 assists off the bench. Additionally, he registered four rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes of action, shooting 6-for-12 from the field and making both of his attempts from three-point range. McConnell had a strong finish with a 20-point effort in the first round, and his importance has continued to grow in the series against the Knicks. The 32-year-old has posted two double-doubles through four games, averaging 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.5 steals.

New York Knicks guard/forward Alec Burks finished as the team's top scorer with 20 points as Tom Thibodeau's troops struggled all game against Indiana on Sunday, losing 121-89. The Knicks were already down by 20 after the first quarter, and the bench guys, including Burks, ended up getting a good amount of minutes. Burks made good use of his 23 minutes on the floor, shooting 5-for-11 from the field and 8-for-10 at the line with two made triples. He was also active on the boards with five rebounds and dished out a pair of assists. Injuries have disrupted Thibodeau's plans in the postseason, with Burks making his first playoff appearance of the year in Game 2 against the Pacers. He's averaged a solid 17.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 22 minutes across the last two games.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hand) will undergo surgery. The 25-year-old fractured his left hand in November, limiting him to 55 games last season. But now he'll need another procedure on the same hand to "stabilize the third metacarpal." Carter, who will be re-evaluated in roughly four weeks following the procedure, is expected to make a full recovery. The 2018 No. 7 overall pick had one of the best seasons of his career in 2022-23, averaging 15.2 points and 8.7 assists. However, he took a step backward in both categories last season. Assuming he stays healthy, Carter has a chance to bounce back this season, although many fantasy managers will look past him due to his health and statistical regression.

According to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, speaking on 95.7 The Game, the Warriors aren't expected to trade forward Jonathan Kuminga this summer. The Warriors undoubtedly need to tweak the roster to compete in a stacked Western Conference. But Kuminga, who was once rumored to be on the move, is anticipated to remain included in the team's plans moving ahead. The 21-year-old had a rough start to the 2023-24 campaign. However, he averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 41 games to end the year. With that said, Kuminga appears ready to take a leap in his development, and he'll likely see more than enough interest from fantasy managers heading toward the new season.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (shoulder) finished with five boards and four points in Sunday's blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks struggled in Game 4, with Jalen Brunson the only starter to reach double figures on the scoring end. However, and more importantly, Harteinstein indicated after the loss that he may have pinched a nerve in his shoulder. This is concerning, considering the team is without Mitchell Robinson (ankle), OG Anunoby (hamstring), and Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle). At any rate, Hartenstein stated X-rays were negative and that he would play in Game 5 on Tuesday night. But if he can't make it out there, Jericho Sims and Precious Achiuwa would see more action, with the latter being the more dependable DFS option.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (calf) is probable for Monday's meeting with the Cavaliers. He's dealing with calf tightness. However, even with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) sidelined, Kornet has averaged 4.7 points and 3.0 points during the Conference semifinals, meaning his status for Game 4 won't make a difference for DFS participants.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (calf) is questionable for Monday's playoff showdown with the Celtics. He popped up on the injury report because of a strained left calf. Yet, the Cavs are looking to knot things up, so fantasy managers should expect to see Mitchell on the floor. The 27-year-old has played exceptionally well in the series, averaging 31.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. He's also shot 53.3% from behind the arc, making him one of the top DFS options available on Monday night, assuming he gets the green light to play.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup versus OKC. Doncic has taken a beating throughout the postseason, resulting in multiple appearances on the injury report for various reasons. However, this isn't anything new, so DFS managers should expect to see him on the floor, especially with the Mavs looking to take a decisive lead in the series. With that said, Doncic, coming off a 22-point, 15-rebound, five-assist effort in the win on Saturday, remains the top fantasy option for Monday night, assuming he's available.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (rib) is questionable for Monday's postseason battle against Boston. He's carried the same injury designation throughout the series because of a nagging rib contusion. Unfortunately, Allen hasn't been out there. The 26-year-old could be nearing a return, although he may be limited in his first few games back. But if Allen isn't available for Game 4, Isaac Okoro would presumably remain in the starting lineup. On the other hand, Caris LeVert, amassing 36 points in the last two contests from off the bench, is a more dependable DFS option.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) remains out for Monday's playoff contest versus the Cavaliers. Porzingis continues to work his way back from a right Soleus strain. With that in mind, it's possible he won't suit up at any point in the series. Fortunately, Al Horford has done a good job filling the void in the middle, with the 37-year-old averaging 6.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in three starts in the Conference semifinals. Luke Kornet (calf), listed as probable for Monday evening, should also continue to receive more minutes from off the bench. However, Horford has a much higher upside for DFS participants.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (shoulder) will be good to go for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks. He hurt his right shoulder in the previous contest, which gave Nesmith a questionable tag ahead of Game 4. But the team has upgraded Nesmith to available ahead of tip-off. The 24-year-old typically provides a little bit of everything, averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 0.7 steals for the 2024 playoffs.

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) will play in Game 4 against the Knicks on Sunday. The talented playmaker has suffered multiple injuries during the team's playoff run but will continue to battle on. Haliburton has a chance to post a third consecutive 30-point game on Sunday. He's averaging 25.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 3.0 steals against the Knicks with 5.0 made triples.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) is questionable for Sunday's postseason battle with the Knicks. The back spasms aren't new, but he tweaked his ankle in Friday's win, so most had assumed he'd be back on the injury report for Game 4. Haliburton has been on a roll despite the ailments, amassing 69 points, 16 assists, and five steals in his last two appearances. With that type of production, he'll see plenty of attention from DFS managers for Game 4, assuming he's available.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's playoff matchup with the Pacers. The former Raptor injured his left hamstring in Game 2 and wasn't available for the loss of Friday night. While he is with the team in Indiana and receiving multiple treatment sessions daily, there's a chance he could miss more games moving ahead. Nonetheless, until Anunoby is back on the floor, Precious Achiuwa and Alec Burks should continue to see more minutes. However, Burks scored 14 points in Game 3, so he'll be the preferred DFS option over Achiuwa.

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, the Heat are expected to offer center Bam Adebayo an extension that will keep him in South Beach for "years to come." Adebayo has two years remaining on his current deal. But the 26-year-old is coming off another potent season, averaging 19.3 points and a career-high 10.4 rebounds, so the latest update is a no-brainer. He also developed a shot from deep, ending the 2023-24 campaign by shooting 35.7% from behind the arc. Miami could go in several different directions over the summer. However, the roster will be constructed around Adebayo moving ahead, meaning the chances of Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler being moved are higher than ever. At any rate, no matter who is on the roster come training camp, Adebayo will go early in fantasy drafts heading toward the regular season.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart had a double-double in Friday's playoff matchup with Indiana. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, with the Knicks dropping their first game of the series. Jalen Brunson (foot) wasn't himself after tweaking his foot in Game 2. While Donte DiVincenzo had a team-high 35 points, Hart still scored 10 points while adding 18 rebounds, four assists, and two steals. The 29-year-old has been on a roll during the postseason, and he should continue to see heavy minutes in Game 4 on Sunday afternoon, especially if OG Anunoby (hamstring) remains out.

New York Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo had a team-high 35 points in Friday's loss to the Pacers. He added three boards, two assists, one steal, and one block. Jalen Brunson (foot) isn't fully healthy after tweaking his foot in Game 2. However, DiVincenzo picked up the slack, going 12-for-26 from the floor and an efficient 7-for-11 from behind the three-point line. The 27-year-old has played well of late, averaging 29.3 points and shooting 56.3% from deep during this series. With numbers like that, DiVincenzo will see plenty of interest from DFS managers for Game 4 on Sunday afternoon.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) finished with a team-high 26 points in Friday's loss to Indiana. The former Maverick injured his right foot in Game 2 and carried a questionable tag heading into this contest. While he managed to suit up, he reinjured his foot in the first quarter, taking him off the floor for a few minutes. Brunson also had five turnovers in Game 3, so the ailment appears to be impacting his play. However, he should remain on the DFS radar for Game 4 on Sunday despite his recent decline in production.
