San Francisco, CA

They say you should never underestimate the heart of a champion, and the Golden State Warriors may have proven that last season when they defied expectations to win their fourth title in eight years. Eventually, though, every champion becomes a former champion. No dynasty stands forever. Father Time remains undefeated. His victims rarely accept defeat gracefully.

MILWAUKEE -- Finding something Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn't done yet in his career may be even more difficult than trying to guard him. The Toronto Raptors couldn't do the latter on Sunday night in the Milwaukee Bucks' 118-111 win, and as a result Antetokounmpo did the former. Antetokounmpo finished with 22...

Markkanen (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, Utah beat writer Ryan Miller reports. Markkanen missed a game on March 5 with the back issue, and while he played in the next five games, it appears it's still giving him some trouble. He'll test how he's feeling at Monday's shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, that would open up minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Rudy Gay. Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker would also stand to see a bump in usage sans Markkanen.

Joel Embiid continued his MVP push on Saturday night with another dominant performance in the Philadelphia 76ers' 141-121 win over the Indiana Pacers.

Brunson (foot) is officially available for Saturday's game against Denver. Brunson was expected to play, barring a setback in pregame warmups, and he managed to get through the activities unscathed. He should be expected to regain his spot in the starting lineup following his three-game absence and be full-go. His return will likely knock Immanuel Quickley back to the second unit.

Jackson posted 25 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and a block across 34 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over Texas. Jackson entered this game with just one double-double on the season, and there's no question this was his best performance of the campaign by a wide margin. Jackson has also scored at least 10 points in all but one of his last 11 outings.

Rodriguez tossed 4.2 scoreless innings in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. He allowed four hits and a walk while striking out five. Rodriguez still has not allowed an earned run this spring across 13 innings and he's struck out 15. The lefty had an underwhelming first season in Detroit last year, as he missed significant time due to personal reasons and finished with a 4.05 ERA and 72 strikeouts across 91 innings. Rodriguez should again lead the staff in 2023, and if he can carry over some of his spring success, he could be primed for much better production from a fantasy standpoint.

The Los Angeles Lakers legend and Hall of Fame guard joined Harris' bidding group as they look to purchase the franchise, according to Sportico.
