| NAME | TEAM | INJURY | TIMETABLE TO RETURN | ANALYSIS |
| Stephen Curry | GSW | Ankle | DAY TO DAY | Curry is practicing and is questionable for game 1 of the Warriors series versus the Pelicans. If he returns, Quinn Cook and Shaun Livingston will lose minutes. |
| Gordon Hayward | BOS | Ankle/Tibia | OUT FOR PLAYOFFS | It's over! Brad Stevens has said that Hayward won't be returning at all. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum benefit by getting more shots. |
| Kyrie Irving | BOS | Knee | OUT FOR PLAYOFFS | Irving will miss the entire 2018 Playoffs. Terry Rozier, Shane Larkin and Marcus Smart will fill in. |
| DeMarcus Cousins | NO | Achilles | OUT FOR PLAYOFFS | Cousins will not return for the Playoffs. Anthony Davis has shifted to Center and Cheick Diallo and Emeka Okafor get more playing time. |
| Otto Porter Jr. | WSH | Leg | DAY TO DAY | Porter is questionable for game 6 and he's obviously in pain. He looks slow on the court. Expect Kelly Oubre Jr. and Mike Scott to get more playing time regardless if he plays or doesn't. |
| John Henson | MIL | Back | DAY TO DAY | Henson missed game 6 despite going through a shootaround. Consider him questionable for game 7 and Tyler Zeller and Thon Maker will continue to pick up minutes even if he plays. |
| George Hill | CLE | Back | DAY TO DAY | Hill is questionable for game 6 and he's missed 2 games in this series. If he can't play, Jose Calderon, Jordan Clarkson and even J.R. Smith will pick up minutes |
| Fred VanVleet | TOR | Shoulder | No Timetable | After not playing in game 5, VanVleet could miss the rest of the series versus the Wizards. Delon Wright will continue to see more playing time. |
| Luc Mbah a Moute | HOU | Shoulder | No Timetable | He can shoot, but still doesn't have a timetable to return to action. P.J. Tucker will benefit most. Gerald Green should grab a few more minutes as well. |
| Patrick McCaw | GSW | Back | 2-3 Weeks | If the Warriors make it deep into the Playoffs, we may be able to see McCaw back by the end of the second round. His re-evaluation is in about three weeks. Shaun Livingston will pick up minutes. |
| Andre Roberson | OKC | Patellar Tendon | OUT FOR PLAYOFFS | With Roberson out, Corey Brewer (when healthy), Alex Abrines (when healthy) and Terrance Ferguson will see more minutes and usage in the playoffs. |
| Thabo Sefolosha | UT | Knee | OUT FOR PLAYOFFS | Sefolosha had surgery on his Knee and will miss the playoffs. Jae Crowder and Jonas Jerebko will see more playing time. |
| Daniel Theis | BOS | Knee | OUT FOR PLAYOFFS | With Theis out for the Playoffs, Marcus Morris will see a ton of minutes and usage. |
| Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot | PHI | Knee | No Timetable | If TLC returns, he will be on the outside looking into the Sixers rotation. |
| Alexis Ajinca | NO | Knee | OUT FOR PLAYOFFS | Ajinca will NOT play in the Playoffs. Cheick Diallo and Emeka Okafor will see playing time. |
