Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (elbow) won't play on Sunday against Cleveland. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Magic. As a result, Obi Toppin entered the starting lineup. Unfortunately, he struggled, ending the night with only four points. With Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith off the injury report, it's unknown if Toppin will remain with the first five. However, if he does stay in the starting lineup, there's a good chance he'll play better this time around.


Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (back) will remain out for Sunday's Central Division clash with the Cavaliers. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Orlando Magic. But the Pacers are thinking about the playoffs, so Haliburton can take another game off. T.J. McConnell got the start versus Orlando, finishing with 12 points and three assists. Quenton Jackson, who had 13 points, could also be in line for more work, assuming he gets the call from the G League.


Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) won't play on Sunday against the Hornets. The Celtics already locked up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Fortunately, this will allow the club to sit White and the rest of their core producers. As a result, Payton Pritchard, who had 15 points and 10 assists in his last start, should be a popular option for DFS managers versus one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association.


Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Sunday against Charlotte. The veteran missed eight straight games in February and March because of an illness. He also sat out four more contests since returning for the March 15 win over the Brooklyn Nets. With that said, the Celtics have already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference heading toward the playoffs, so Sunday's result won't matter. Al Horford (knee) also won't suit up, meaning Luke Kornet, who had 14 points, three boards, one steal, and one block in his last start, should return to the starting lineup.



Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (rest) won't play on Sunday against the Hornets. The C's are heading to the postseason as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Fortunately, this will enable the club to rest some of their core performers, including Tatum, Jrue Holiday (shoulder), Jaylen Brown (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Al Horford (knee), and Derrick White (neck). Without those guys on the floor, Payton Pritchard, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser, and Luke Kornet are the safest options for DFS managers.
