Xavier Tillman Sr. Unavailable For Game 1 Versus Pacers Tuesday

On Tuesday, Boston Celtics forward Xavier Tillman Sr. (personal) was ruled out for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers. Both Tillman and Kristaps Porzingis (calf) are listed as unavailable. The 25-year-old's absence won't impact DFS play, as he has only seen action in three of 10 Celtics' postseason games, averaging 1.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 0.7 steals in 8.3 minutes per contest.

Jalen Brunson Expected To Sign $156 Million Contract Extension

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is expected to sign a massive four-year, $156 million contract extension this summer, according to Steve Popper of Newsday Sports. Brunson fractured his left hand during Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Indiana. Across 13 postseason contests, the 27-year-old was phenomenal, averaging 32.4 points, 7.5 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in 39.8 minutes per contest.

Jarrett Allen Has "Numerous Admirers" Among Rival Teams

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen could be a popular man this offseason if the team decides to move him. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Allen has "numerous admirers" in rival front offices. Allen, who turned 26 in April, signed a five-year, $100 million contract with the Cavaliers in 2021. He averaged a career-high 16.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 blocks during a successful 2023-24 season. But Allen's future in Cleveland is murky after reports suggested that he refused to take a pain-killing injection to play through a rib contusion in the playoffs. He missed the team's final eight postseason games as Cleveland's campaign ended with a 4-1 defeat to Boston in the second round.

Clint Capela Linked With Move Away From Atlanta

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela is "likely bound for the trade market" with a year remaining on his contract. The Swiss big man, who has just turned 30, will be carrying a $22.3 million expiring contract next season. The Pelicans and Rockets are seen as potential landing spots for Capela after the Mavericks also showed big interest in him at the trade deadline. Capela has proven himself as a very capable center in the Association, averaging a double-double for seven consecutive seasons. While splitting time with Onyeka Okongwu, Capela posted 11.5 points and 10.6 rebounds with 1.5 blocks across 25.8 minutes this term. His exit from Atlanta could provide a big boost to Okongwu's fantasy stock.

Gordon Hayward Disappointed With Stint In Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Gordon Hayward has expressed displeasure with his role on the team. "Disappointing with how it all kind of worked out. Certainly frustrating," Hayward said. "I feel as a player, I have a lot to offer. Just wasn't really given much of an opportunity to do that. I thought I would be given that opportunity." After the Thunder traded for Hayward in February, the former All-Star averaged just 17.2 minutes per game with the team and saw even less action in the playoffs, logging 47 minutes across seven appearances. Hayward will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason after completing a four-year, $120 million deal.
