Fantasy Hoops playoff time is here, and those lucky (by which of course we mean madly skilled) owners still in the hunt are scrambling madly to find that missing piece to hone their team to its finest edge. Often, that missing piece is a heretofore-unknown player, whose ability to contribute in a certain stat category makes him highly relevant to a Fantasy owner who is trying to prep his team for that final push.

In addition to the injuries noted above, numerous players are listed as day-to-day with various ailments. Make sure you have the latest updates on the plethora of injuries out there before setting your weekly lineups.

With Noah still battling plantar fasciitis, Miller has stepped up big for the Bulls. The 33-year-old veteran has averaged 14.3 points, 6.2 boards and 1.8 assists in six outings this March – while logging over 30 minutes per game. Noah has played in only four games since February 5, and his return date is still unclear.

As the season wanes, many of your league mates are undoubtedly prepping for baseball season – and ignoring their Fantasy Hoops team in the process. For shame…let’s teach them a lesson about attention span, shall we?
