Aron Baynes Will Play in Game 2
Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Baynes tweaked his ankle during Game 1 on Sunday, but it appears to be fine now. It doesn't seem like Baynes was in danger of missing this contest. He should see around 10-15 minutes off the bench.

Carmelo Anthony Could Return to Knicks
Power forward Carmelo Anthony said he isn't ruling out returning to the New York Knicks next season. Anthony didn't last long on the Houston Rockets this season and sat out basically the entire year. Anthony would likely return as a role player off the bench, but might have fantasy value given the playing time. The […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Sterling Brown (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Boston Celtics. However, it sounds like the Bucks are waiting until pre-game to decide whether or not Brown will play.

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A on Wednesday. Olson suffered a fractured hamate bone on March 21 and hasn't played since then. The Athletics aren't going to rush Olson back, so he should get plenty of at-bats in the minors. Olson should be back with […]

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (shoulder) has joined the team on Monday and could be activated on Tuesday.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 1 versus the Golden State Warriors.

Chris Paul and James Harden will be […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. This marks Hill's first start of the season as he's been sidelined all year with a lingering knee issue. He's not exactly the most reliable fantasy option out there.
