Devin Booker has reportedly been linked to the Thunder and Spurs this offseason. (Source: TheDunkCentral.com)

Fantasy Impact: After getting swept in the first round by the Timberwolves, it seems pretty evident that changes will be made with the Suns this offseason. Booker appears the most likely player to be moved between him, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. The Knicks have also been rumored to be interested in Booker with the Thunder and Spurs now reportedly being added to the mix.

Klay Thompson and the Orlando Magic reportedly have mutual interest. (Source: Shams Charania)

Fantasy Impact: According to Charania, "The Magic can open up an excess of sixty million dollars in cap space this offseason." After coming up short in its round one series against Cleveland, Orlando will likely be looking to add a shooter or two heading into next season with Thompson being a player to watch for.

Tyrese Haliburton is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Haliburton was on the injury report with the same back injury in round one of the playoffs, and did not miss any time. He should be good to go for Monday's series opener against New York.

Jamal Murray is questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Murray was also questionable ahead of Game 1 before he was cleared. He appears to be playing through it a bit, but there is nothing to suggest he won't play in this game.

Jarrett Allen has been ruled out for Game 7 against the Magic. This will be his third missed game in the series due to a rib contusion. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Allen was the most effective player for the Cavs in the first four games, so losing out on his production is a crushing blow to the Cavs. Like in Game 5, Isaac Okoro will step into the starting lineup at the power forward position while Evan Mobley suits up as the center.

Gary Harris will play in Game 7 against the Cavaliers on Sunday. (Source: Orlando Magic PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harris had been listed as questionable, but will return after he was sidelined in Game 6. Jonathan Isaac started in his absence. It is unclear if the Magic will roll with a big lineup again with Isaac or have him return to his reserve role with Harris back in the lineup.

Lonzo Ball picked up his $24.1 million option with the Bulls as expected. This comes after Ball has missed the last two and a half seasons with a knee injury. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on X)

Fantasy Impact: After missing the last two calendar years with injury, it makes sense why Ball would pick up his option, since he hasn't had a consistent chance to showcase his talent. But while the 26-year-old guard has flashes of brilliance and lots of potential, we still haven't seen him play in any capacity since January 2022. He can't be a reliable fantasy asset until he returns to the court consistently, making him a risky pick in drafts.

Maxi Kleber suffered a shoulder injury in Friday's game against the Clippers. (Source: Law Murray on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Kleber fell on his shoulder on a shot attempt. The Mavericks clinched the series on Friday, and now head to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder in the second round. Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II would take on some more minutes if Kleber is sidelined.

The Los Angeles Lakers dismissed coach Darvin Ham. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ham spent the past two seasons as the Lakers coach. Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson and JJ Redick have been brought up as potential replacements for the Lakers.

Craig Porter Jr. has been ruled out for Friday's game against Orlando. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The absence of Porter does not impact the rotation for the Cavaliers.

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

Fantasy Impact: Leonard will remain sidelined as the Clippers look to force a Game 7. Paul George and James Harden should continue to take on extended roles.

Terance Mann is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Mann played 32 minutes in the Clippers loss in Game 5. Norman Powell could take on some more minutes if Mann is sidelined.

Tim Hardaway Jr. has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Hardaway will miss his second straight game for the Mavericks. Josh Green and Dante Exum should continue to see some more minutes in his absence.

Patrick Beverley is available for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Beverley was expected to play after being listed as probable. His role will likely take a small step back as Damian Lillard is expected to return.

Khris Middleton is available for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Middleton was expected to play. The Bucks are getting Damian Lillard back, but Middleton should still play a big role.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Antetokounmpo was able to workout on Thursday, but he was still considered a longshot to play. Bobby Portis should continue to take on a bigger role in his absence.

Damian Lillard is expected to make his return on Thursday against the Pacers. (Source: Chris Haynes on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lillard was out on the court during warmups, and is expected to return after he was sidelined in Game 5. Malik Beasley should return to his reserve role as a result.

Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Embiid is no longer on the injury report due to migraines as he was ahead of Game 5. He should be good to go as the 76ers look to once again avoid elimination.

Kristaps Porzingis is expected to miss all of the second round if the Boston Celtics advance. (Source: NBA on TNT on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The hope would be for Porzingis to return for the Eastern Conference Finals should Boston make it. Al Horford should continue to replace him in the starting lineup.

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.
