Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler (pelvis) won't play on Saturday against the Rockets. He had 25 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and five steals in Game 1. However, the veteran was injured in Game 2, limiting him to only seven minutes of action. Without Butler, Moses Moody, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Brandin Podziemski should all benefit on the scoring end. Jonathan Kuminga, who had 11 points in Game 2, might also remain in the rotation, potentially even entering the starting lineup.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) is questionable for Monday's encounter with the Miami Heat. He didn't suit up for Game 3 on Saturday because of a left great toe sprain, an Injury he battled toward the end of the regular season. As a result, Sam Merrill entered the starting lineup. However, Merrill went scoreless, with De'Andre Hunter and Ty Jerome combining for 34 points, 14 assists, and three steals. Jarrett Allen also returned to form, ending with a team-high 22 points, his highest of the postseason. If Garland remains sidelined, Hunter, Jerome, Allen, Evan Mobley, and Max Strus should all receive more scoring chances. Donovan Mitchell, coming off a 13-point effort, should turn things around.

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (calf) is still recovering from the broken left Fibula he sustained during the January 1 win over the Orlando Magic. Fortunately, Ivey is moving in the right direction, with the team reporting that his current activities include "a progression of basketball shooting and skill work," which have been accompanied by "continued re-conditioning and strength work." He had a down year in 2023-24. Yet, with J.B. Bickerstaff at the Helm, Ivey averaged a career-high 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 40.9% shooting from downtown during the regular season. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Still, the Pistons are one game away from being bounced from the postseason by the Knicks, meaning Ivey likely won't be back in the lineup until the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign, assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks along the way.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) will play on Sunday versus Orlando. The right knee impingement isn't expected to go away anytime soon, so DFS managers will likely see him on the injury report for the rest of the postseason. But unless Brown suffers a setback along the way, he'll likely continue to see north of 30 minutes per contest. However, his presence should mean Sam Hauser, who would have been in line to start, will likely remain on the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.
