Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) experienced another season plagued by health issues in 2024-25, but he hopes to be "injury-free" next season. Williams III made only 20 appearances before undergoing an arthroscopic procedure to address inflammation in his left knee, which ended his season in March. He fully expects to be ready by training camp. A healthy Williams III can be a valuable asset for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old has averaged 7.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 20.2 minutes throughout his career.

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball will be locked into the weight room in the offseason if head coach Charles Lee has his way. "He's got to get stronger," Lee said about Ball Monday following the team's exit interviews. "Teams are trying to deny him, trying to be physical, and you can see early in the year when teams did it, it definitely bothered him," Lee said. "As he got used to it, he got a lot more comfortable, so it's going to start with his body. He's got to get stronger and more conditioned to be able to play both sides of the ball and sustain efforts. ... When you're one of the best players in the league, you have to be ready for physicality. In order to combat that, you have to be stronger." Building extra muscle on his 6-foot-7, 190-pound frame could also enable Ball to spend more time on the court. Over the past three seasons, he has played in just 105 games, causing frustration for fantasy managers.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (knee) will be available for Tuesday's play-in contest against the Golden State Warriors. Right knee soreness kept Kennard off the court on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, but the team has removed him from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup. Kennard occasionally pops off for a big game but mostly takes the backseat in Grizzlies games. He has averaged only 4.4 points per game in April, despite logging over 20 minutes on most nights.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) has received the green light to play on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. The Spaniard missed Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks due to an ankle issue. However, Aldama's name is not listed on the injury report on Tuesday. Although Aldama had a quiet finish to the regular season, it has overall been a successful campaign for him. Some of Aldama's best performances have come against the Warriors, as he averaged 14.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in 23.7 minutes against them during the regular season.

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) will hop back into the lineup for Tuesday's play-in action against the Golden State Warriors. The giant from Purdue skipped Sunday's regular-season finale against the Dallas Mavericks with a sore left ankle. Edey's role has grown since Memphis' coaching change, as he has averaged 9.3 points, 15.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 30.5 minutes over six April performances. His efforts this month include a 10-point, 16-rebound double-double with four blocks in a 134-125 loss to the Warriors.
