Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hip) is available to play ahead of Monday's Game 1 against the New York Knicks. As expected, Embiid is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. The oft-injured big man has been a frequent guest on the injury report, but is ready to play despite dealing with a minor hip injury. His presence in the rotation will mean minimal roles for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona. Neither player is worth a look as a DFS with Embiid healthy and taking on a full workload.

Detroit Pistons guard Kevin Huerter (groin) holds a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Huerter missed the final three games of the first-round series against the Orlando Magic. He continues to deal with a lingering groin injury that could impact his availability for the beginning of this series. Daniss Jenkins and Javonte Green would likely continue to see more playing time if Huerter is unavailable on Tuesday. His absence has impacted Cade Cunningham the most, with him playing nearly 40 minutes during Sunday's victory over Orlando.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs. Dosunmu sat out during the Game 6 victory over the Denver Nuggets. The lingering calf issue is going to keep him sidelined for at least one more game. The Wolves should be in decent shape as long as Anthony Edwards (knee) is available to play, but he currently carries a questionable tag into this game. Terrence Shannon Jr. gained the most value without Edwards or Dosunmu on the court for Thursday's win over the Nuggets. Without Dosunmu available, Bones Hyland, Jaylen Clark, and Shannon should all benefit from increased playing time.

New York Knicks forward Jeremy Sochan (hamstring) is available to play ahead of Monday's Game 1 against the Philadelphia 76ers. As expected, Sochan is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. It's nice to have him available, but Sochan wasn't in the rotation during the first round of the postseason. Depending on how the game goes, Sochan could see a few minutes, but he won't be someone worth targeting in DFS contests.
