| NBA INJURIES | ||||||
| NAME | POS. | TEAM | INJURY | DATE INJURED | EXP. RETURN DATE | ANALYSIS |
| Bradley Beal | SG/SF | WSH | Hamstring | 8-May | DAY TO DAY | We know that Beal will miss the first two games of the week and then when Friday approaches we will find out his fate. Raul Neto and Chandler Hutchison will see more minutes. Ish Smith will benefit as well. |
| Pascal Siakam | PF/C | TOR | Shoulder | 8-May | DAY TO DAY | Siakam hurt his Shoulder and with the way the Raptors have been benching some of their other players, the DTD tag could turn into a a no timetable tag very quickly as the Raptors have shown signs of packing it in for the rest of the way. Khem Birch and Stanley Johnson will help fill the void. De'Andre Bembry will get more playing time as well. |
| Kevin Porter Jr. | SG/SF | HOU | Ankle | 5-May | DAY TO DAY | The Rockets continue to be banged up and Porter is the latest addition and the Rockets may hold him out for a game or two next week. Armoni Brooks and Jae'Sean Tate will help run the point. D.J. Augustin should find more playing time as well with Dante Exum still hurt. |
| Brandom Ingram | F | NO | Ankle | 4-May | No Timetable | The big-play Forwards are likely done for the final week of the season and that means reserves such as Naji Marshall and James Johnson will see a big bump in minutes while backcourt guys Lonzo Ball and Eric Bledsoe will naturally see more usage. Nickeil Alexander-Walker should help out as well over the next few games. |
| Zion Williamson | PF | NO | Finger | 4-May | No Timetable | Williamson, like Ingram, is going to be sidelined for the final week of the season and it will be up to James Johnson, Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes to help plug the middle for the rest of the way. |
| Miles Bridges | F | CHA | COVID | 4-May | No Timetable | COVID sidelines another meaning PJ Washington will see a ton of shots and Jalin McDaniels and Malik Monk will see more love in the Hornets rotation as well. Caleb Martin could pick up a few minutes as well. |
| LeBron James | G/SF | LAL | Ankle | 2-May | DAY TO DAY | James is looking like he'll make his return to action on Tuesday. How many games will he play this week? Uncertain! If he's out, expect mid-court players such as Wes Matthews and Talon Horton-Tucker to play more minutes. Kyle Kuzma should benefit as well. |
| Christian Wood | PF/C | HOU | Ankle | 2-May | DAY TO DAY | The Rockets big men are also hurt as Kelly Olynyk may or may not play in upcoming games either meaning that the Rockets may have to go small for the rest of the way and Jae'Sean Tate will have to play a lot of big man minutes for the next game or two if Wood continues to miss time. |
| Jaylen Brown | SG/SF | BOS | Wrist | 2-May | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Brown's season has come to an end after having suffered a tear in his Wrist. Evan Fournier and Aaron Nesmith will benefit by getting a lot more shots and minutes. Kemba Walker has finally looked like his old self recently. His numbers should get boosted from this. |
| Devonte' Graham | G | CHA | Knee | 2-May | DAY TO DAY | Graham can't put too much pressure on his Knee at this time and it will be up to Malik Monk to help pick up the slack with LaMelo Ball. Brad Wanamaker may steal a few minutes, but Ball and Rozier will continue to play heavy minutes. |
| Tyrese Haliburton | G | SAC | Knee | 2-May | No Timetable | Haliburton's season could be over due to this Knee injury and while Fox has been out as well, Delon Wright has taken over and we've seen him fill in at multiple spots on the court. Buddy Hield clearly benefits as well. |
| OG Anunoby | F | TOR | Calf/Benching | 2-May | No Timetable | We don't know if his Calf is truly hurt or if it's part of Toronto's benching plan. They continue to rule out Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr., Yuta Watanabe and Stanley Johnson will see more playing time. |
| Dennis Schroder | PG | LAL | COVID | 2-May | No Timetable | Schroder is in the protocol and with LeBron still hurt, it's been up to Alex Caruson to help handle the rock. Talon Horton-Tucker can help bring up the ball as well if healthy. The Lakers have had to rely on Ben McLemore to help as well. |
| Aleksej Pokusevski | SF | OKC | Knee | 2-May | DAY TO DAY | Pokusevski could be held out the rest of the way meaning Kenrich Williams will be looking at more playing time. Darius Bazley and Lu. Dort will see more shots as well. |
| Darius Garland | PG | CLE | Ankle | 30-Apr | No Timetable | Cleveland is going to the lottery so why bring Garland back? Cedi Osman has seen his production rise down the stretch and he and Damyean Dotson will help Collin Sexton in the backcourt. |
| James Ennis III | SG/SF | ORL | Calf | 30-Apr | DAY TO DAY | The Magic are dealing with many injuries and Ennis being out of the lineup benefits Dwayne Bacon and Gary Harris. R.J. Hampton can also play multiple positions and he should see heavy run for the rest of the season. |

| Kristaps Porzingis | PF/C | DAL | Knee | 29-Apr | DAY TO DAY | Porzingis is always hurt and if he needs to continue to sit out, Jalen Brunson and Tim Hardaway Jr. will certainly see more shots and time with the ball. Dorian Finney-Smith naturally benefits as well. |
| Steven Adams | C | NO | Toe | 28-Apr | DAY TO DAY | Are the Pelicans just playing it safe with Adams? If som Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes will split minutes at Center. Hayes will provide more defense and Hernangomez will provide the offense. |
| Chuma Okeke | PF | ORL | Ankle | 28-Apr | No Timetable | Okeke is dealing with a sprained ankle and will likely be done for the rest of the season. Mo Bamba and Dwayne Bacon, along with Gary Harris will see more minutes and shots. |
| Kelly Oubre Jr. | SG/F | GSW | Wrist | 27-Apr | No Timetable | Oubre's situation here has been very unclear.

| Mike Conley | PG | UT | Hamstring | 26-Apr | DAY TO DAY | Conley has sat out with a tight hamstring for the last few games and while he rests up, Jordan Clarkson and Joe Ingles will help bring up the ball. Royce O'Neale could see time with the rock as well. |

Keldon Johnson and Rudy Gay will see an uptick in Field Goal Attempts. |
| Harrison Barnes | F | SAC | Adductor | 26-Apr | DAY TO DAY | Barnes has now missed a few games and being that he plays a lot of minutes, there are a lot of minutes that are more available. Marvin Bagley III and Mo Harkless will get a major minutes boost if he continues to sit. |

| Aron Baynes | C | TOR | Foot | 11-Apr | DAY TO DAY | Baynes Foot is still banged up and the rise of Khem Birch will likely keep Baynes limited, especially if Chris Boucher makes it back to the court. He hasn't been an effective Center since leaving Boston. |
