Fantasy Impact: Haliburton and Pascal Siakam have now been ruled out after they were originally off the injury report. The game is meaningless for Indiana seeding wise.


Devin Vassell (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Sunday will mark the second-straight game that Vassell has missed due to an ankle injury, which will leave Jordan McLaughlin with more work against the Raptors. It will also mark San Antonio's final game of the season, which means that we have seen the last of Vassell until the 2025 NBA season. He will be entering the second year of his five-year deal and will be looking to step his play up to an even higher level in his sixth NBA season.


Keldon Johnson (ankle) is off of the injury report for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Johnson was sidelined for San Antonio's last game due to an ankle injury, but he is now off of the injury report and should be good to go against the Raptors. Fantasy managers should feel pretty good about starting him in the team's season finale on Sunday.


Jeremy Sochan (back) will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Sochan has been sidelined for about two weeks due to this nagging back injury, and he will remain sidelined for San Antonio's last game of the season because of it. Looking ahead, he will be looking to have a bounce-back campaign with the Spurs in the 2025 NBA season after a less-than-ideal season this year.


Kelly Olynyk (Achilles) remains out for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The veteran will be sidelined on Sunday. His absence is expected to lead to more work for Keion Brooks Jr., Jamal Cain, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl against the Thunder. He is currently under contract with the Pelicans for the 2025 NBA season and flashed some potential in his limited action with them.


Yves Missi (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The big man will be sidelined for New Orleans' final game of the season on Sunday, which will open the door for more work for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Keion Brooks Jr. against the Thunder. He had a promising rookie season for the Pelicans, averaging over nine points and eight rebounds per game while contributing well on defense. He will look to take the next step in his sophomore campaign next season.


Karlo Matkovic (hamstring) will be sidelined again for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Pelicans have ruled out Matkovic for Sunday's game, which will be the second-straight that he has missed due to this hamstring injury. Look for Keion Brooks Jr. and Jamal Cain to be two of the primary beneficiaries of his absence against the Thunder.


Jordan Hawkins (back) is out again for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Pelicans have ruled out Hawkins for another game on Sunday, which doesn't at all come as a surprise. He will have the entire offseason to get healthy in hopes for a bounce-back year in the 2025 NBA season.


Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) will be unavailable for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The veteran is going to miss his third-straight game on Sunday. He's recovering from a knee injury right now, and the team has no reason to let him play at this point in the season. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, so he may have already played his last game in a Pelicans' uniform.


Brandon Boston Jr. (ankle) is still out for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Boston is still going to be sidelined on Sunday due to the same ankle injury that has bothered him for much of the season. His absence won't lead to much change for fantasy purposes.


Jalen Williams (hip) won't play in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Williams is set to be sidelined for a second-consecutive game on Sunday as he continues to recover from a hip injury. This is likely more of a cautionary move from the team than anything else, as they want him to be fully healthy and fresh for the playoffs. Aaron Wiggins will see more work as a result of his absence.


Cason Wallace (shoulder) will be out again for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Sunday will mark the third-straight game that Wallace has missed due to a shoulder injury. He's considered day-to-day because of it, and his next chance to play won't come until the postseason. Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins will see more work until then.


Chet Holmgren (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Thunder have ruled out a number of key players for Sunday's game, including Holmgren, who is set to be sidelined due to a back injury. He should be back in time for the start of the postseason, and both Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams will see more work until then.


Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, the big man will be unavailable for another game on Sunday, as the team wants to keep him fresh and healthy for the playoffs. Fantasy managers should be quick to start Jaylin Williams against the Pelicans, as he is a great fantasy option whenever Hartenstein is out of the lineup for OKC.


Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The star guard is set to be sidelined on Sunday. His injury isn't considered to be a serious issue right now, but the team wants to err on the side of caution with the playoffs about to start. Look for players like Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe to be good fantasy options while he's out for the regular-season finale.


Luguentz Dort (knee) will be sidelined for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The veteran has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game. He is still recovering from a knee injury, and the team wants to give him all the time off that he needs ahead of the playoffs. Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe will both continue to benefit from his extended absence.

Fantasy Impact: Dieng will officially miss OKC's final regular season game on Sunday. He has been out for close to a month because of it, and it remains to be seen whether or not he will be back at all in the playoffs for the Thunder.


Alex Caruso (ankle) will be out again for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Caruso will be sidelined again on Sunday due to his ankle injury. The Thunder are letting several players sit out for this matchup ahead of the playoffs, so this isn't a reason to be concerned with his availability for any postseason games.


Fred VanVleet is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact: It appears the Rockets starters will play in the regular season finale. They are locked into the No. 2 seed, so they likely won't play the whole game.
