Boston Celtics forward Blake Griffin (back) is listed as questionable for Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers. He sat out of Friday's Game 3 victory due to lower back pain. Although, his absence isn't going to make a huge impact in the rotation. Both Al Horford and Robert Williams III are off the injury report heading into Game 4. There probably won't be many minutes available for Griffin anyway. That being said, Griffin won't be an attractive DFS option for Game 4 on Sunday.
Boston Celtics forward Blake Griffin will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Celtics are shorthanded here with both Marcus Smart (ankle) and Robert Williams III (knee) both ruled out. That being said, Griffin will make the start at center, while Derrick White serves as the point guard. White is a solid play with Smart out, while Griffin is going to have his value limited. Both Horford and Grant Williams should see action at center, which is going to limit Griffin's abilities. Fantasy managers should consider Griffin a deep league streaming choice for Monday.
Boston Celtics forward Blake Griffin will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Veteran big man Al Horford (back) is going to sit this game out, which gives Griffin a chance to start. Despite the move to the starting unit, Griffin doesn't offer a ton of upside in terms of fantasy value. He could be someone worth considering in deep leagues, but won't be asked to do much with a majority of this roster healthy.
Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin (ankle) is available for Game 3 against the Boston Celtics. The All-Star forward hasn't played this postseason and isn't expected to do much on Saturday. In fact, Griffin has played a total of six minutes over the last 11 games. It's unlikely that head coach Steve Nash decides to change his gameplan now. Griffin should have a minimal role off the bench, assuming he plays at all. Fantasy managers can ignore him right now.
Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin (ankle) is questionable ahead of the Game 3 playoff meeting against the Celtics. The 33-year-old is dealing with a sprained left ankle. However, he hasn't done anything this postseason, so his availability on Saturday in either direction won't impact DFS managers.
Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin is going to remain in the starting five, according to head coach Steve Nash. The veteran forward is off to a horrendous start to the season. He is averaging 4.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 20.0 minutes while shooting only 28.6% from the floor and 12% from downtown. LaMarcus Aldridge has easily outplayed Griffin off the bench, but Nash has no plans of changing the lineup. Fantasy managers might want to hold Griffin a little longer in hopes of a turn around, but it's not looking good right now.
Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin (rest) won't play on Sunday against the Hornets. With the team playing its first of back-to-back outings, the veteran will get the afternoon off. LaMarcus Aldridge, who exploded on Friday evening against the Philadelphia 76ers by recording 23 points, should get additional minutes behind Nicolas Claxton without Griffin in the lineup. Paul Millsap could also get some extra run, although not enough to make him relevant from a fantasy standpoint.
Free-agent forward Blake Griffin is expected to remain in Brooklyn next season. After reaching a buyout agreement with the Detroit Pistons during the year, the 32-year-old signed with the Nets. Griffin had spurts of productivity during his brief tenure in the Big Apple and averaged 10 points and 4.7 boards throughout 26 games. Although his best days are likely behind him, he has late-round value in upcoming fantasy drafts in deeper formats.
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (groin) and forward Blake Griffin (rest) are available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the second game of a back-to-back, which normally means Griffin would sit. However, he only played 14 minutes on Thursday and will be asked to suit up with Kevin Durant (rest) sidelined. At first glance, Griffin should be a productive fantasy option with the Nets banged up, but he never seems to be consistent. Irving missed Thursday's game due to a minor groin issue, but should be fine here. He'll be asked to do more with Durant out on Friday. Irving should be a favorable DFS option for Friday's slate.
Brooklyn Nets forwards Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both players sat out the front end of the back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should feel safe about plugging Durant back into their lineups. Griffin has been getting minutes in the low-20s, but is basically a deep league option right now.
