Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Thompson recently missed a game due to this knee issue, but should be available for the second straight game on Tuesday. He was able to play 29 minutes during his return to the court on Sunday. The assumption is that he'll have a similar workload on Tuesday, assuming he plays. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update.
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will play against Houston on Sunday. He carried a questionable tag due to a sore knee heading into Sunday but will be in the lineup for his seventh consecutive appearance. Doncic has averaged a 31-point triple-double for the month and went off for a 41-point night in his only previous meeting with the Rockets this season. It's hard to slow him down, and even Houston's top-10-ranked defense will likely struggle to do so on Sunday.
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will play on Sunday night against San Antonio. The 34-year-old missed the Dubs previous contest versus Charlotte because of a knee issue. However, he's good to go for this one. Thompson played relatively well in March, averaging 18.1 points while shooting 40.8% from behind the arc. He's played even better in three meetings with San Antonio this season, making him a viable DFS option in any format.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets. There haven't been many times where Doncic isn't listed on the injury report. But he's now uncertain to suit up because of knee soreness. The Rockets need a win to get closer to the Play-In picture. On the other hand, Dallas needs a victory to keep to help keep Phoenix out of the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference. With that in mind, Doncic will probably play. But if he doesn't, Kyrie Irving would be a lock for DFS contests. In addition, Tim Hardaway Jr., Dante Exum, and P.J. Washington would be the likeliest on the roster to get more chances offensively.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) will miss the remainder of the season. He's had trouble with his right knee for a bit, missing each of the team's last nine games. Grimes, who moved from New York to Detroit in February, will turn his focus on rehabbing lingering muscle soreness related to his knee injury. The campaign ends with averages of 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals for the 23-year-old, who logged 20.1 minutes of playing time across 51 games with the Knicks and Pistons.
