Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 15 points in Friday's loss to the Mavericks. He added seven rebounds and two steals. KAT struggled shooting in Game 1 on Tuesday night. However, things weren't much better in Game 2, with the 28-year-old going 4-for-16 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep. Towns shot the ball more efficiently in Minnesota's previous two series versus the Suns and Nuggets. Fortunately, the Timberwolves have played better on the road during the playoffs, meaning Towns has an excellent chance of bouncing back.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) won't suit up for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Celtics. Haliburton exited Thursday's loss due to left leg soreness. However, a later report indicated he was experiencing soreness in his left hamstring. The situation isn't good, considering the 24-year-old missed 10 games in January because of the same injury and took a while to return to form. In addition, the Pacers are down two games to none in the series, so it's a tough blow. Nonetheless, there's a good chance Haliburton could miss Game 4 as well. But in the meantime, DFS managers should anticipate more offensive opportunities for Pascal Siakam, T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, and Myles Turner.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (illness) is questionable for Saturday's postseason showdown with the Pacers. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) wouldn't play. However, the C's could also be without one of their stars for Game 3 because of a non-COVID-illness. The 33-year-old played well in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, averaging 21.5 points, 9.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. He's also shot 58.3% from behind the arc. With Luke Kornet (wrist) doubtful, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard could see even more minutes if Holiday doesn't play. But even if he does suit up, he could be limited.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (wrist) won't play on Saturday night against the Pacers. He sprained his left wrist in Game 2 and didn't return. With that said, Kornet has gotten more minutes with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) out of the lineup. However, while that still hasn't made him an adequate DFS option, his absence could open up more minutes for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser, with the C's likely to go small when Al Horford is on the bench.

According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Nuggets may be unable to re-sign guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. While Denver would like to keep him on the roster, some project a deal that could exceed $20 million per year, something the Nuggets may not entertain due to tax purposes. The 31-year-old suited up for the Pistons, Lakers, and Wizards before landing in Denver, where he's played arguably the best basketball of his career. With that in mind, Caldwell-Pope hasn't been a consistently reliable fantasy option, although his durability gives him value in any format.
