Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (ankle) is expected to miss "at least" the first two games of the NBA Finals versus OKC. He tweaked his ankle in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks, requiring assistance to the locker room. The 21-year-old was also observed leaving the arena on crutches. Walker has been used sporadically throughout the postseason, averaging only 3.0 points and 1.8 boards in 9.8 minutes of action. That likely won't change if he's cleared to return during the finals. But his absence should at least give a few more minutes to Obi Toppin and Bennedict Mathurin from off the bench, slightly increasing their DFS potential.

According to Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly, there is a belief that forward Julius Randle will remain with the team. The 30-year-old appeared in only 46 contests due to a shoulder injury in his final season with the Knicks. He was then traded to Minnesota last offseason in the deal that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to New York. While Randle managed to appear in 69 games during the 2024-25 campaign, he averaged only 18.7 points and 7.1 rebounds, his lowest marks since his last year with the Los Angeles Lakers back in 2017-18. The 2014 No. 7 overall pick has until June 29 to decide if he will opt in to his nearly $31 million player option. But considering the landscape of available funds for most teams around the National Basketball Association, many believe he will. There's also a chance he could agree to a new contract. With that in mind, Randle may not be as productive as he once was, but he's still capable of playing at an All-Star level, and a bounce-back season is certainly possible, especially if he stays with the Timberwolves.

Indiana Pacers center Tony Bradley (hip) will be available for Saturday's Game 6 against the New York Knicks. He was listed as questionable on the injury report due to a left hip strain, but Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle told reporters during his pregame press conference that Bradley is available. However, Carlisle added that it will be an in-game decision on whether he will utilize the 27-year-old big man. Bradley entered the Pacers' rotation in Game 2 against the Knicks and has averaged 9.5 minutes, scoring 2.0 points and grabbing 2.0 rebounds. He is not someone fantasy managers should pay attention to.

Indiana Pacers center Tony Bradley (hip) is questionable for Saturday's clash with the Knicks. The 27-year-old didn't see much action during the regular season. However, head coach Rick Carlisle has gotten him on the floor during the series versus New York in an attempt to give Indy some size underneath the rim. Unfortunately, Bradley suffered a hip-flexor strain in Game 5 on Thursday night and needed help off the floor. With that in mind, he has averaged only two points and two boards during the Eastern Conference Finals, so he won't see much attention from DFS managers, even if he is active. Thomas Bryant would be in line for more action if Bradley can't suit up, although he likely won't be much more productive.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Saturday's showdown with the Pacers. KAT injured his left knee during Game 4 and popped up on the injury report ahead of Game 5. Fortunately, the ailment didn't keep him off the floor, and he finished with a 24-point, 13-rebound double-double. Towns has averaged 25.4 points and 11.8 boards during the series. However, he has gotten himself into foul trouble several times throughout the Eastern Conference Finals, which has undoubtedly impacted his statistical contributions.
