Gafford is expected to sign a three-year contract extension worth approximately $60 million with the Mavericks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

This new deal will keep Gafford in Dallas through the 2028-29 campaign. The big man put up solid numbers across the board during 2024-25, averaging 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 blocks in 57 regular-season appearances (31 starts).

Bryant amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute during Sunday's 103-91 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Bryant saw limited action in Indiana's season-ending loss Sunday, as his playing time diminished late in the series. The center appeared in 66 regular-season games between Miami and Indiana, making eight starts and averaging 6.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game.

Bradley ended with two points (2-2 FT) and one rebound across five minutes during Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Bradley didn't attempt a shot in his five minutes of action Sunday but sank two free throws to avoid a scoreless performance. The center served as a deep reserve throughout both the playoffs and regular season. Across 14 regular-season appearances, he averaged 4.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game.

Turner ended Sunday's 103-91 loss to the Thunder in Game 7 of the NBA Finals with six points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.

One of Turner's worst performances of the season came at the worst possible time for Indiana, with the team falling one win short of a championship. Turner, who is set to become a free agent this offseason, is likely to draw considerable interest from around the NBA. While previous reports have indicated that a reunion with the Pacers is the most likely outcome, it will be interesting to see how this shakes out. The longest-tenured Pacer on the roster, Turner appeared in 72 regular-season games, producing 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 30.2 minutes per game.

Hartenstein chipped in seven points (3-4 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 18 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 win over the Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Although Isaiah Hartenstein's role declined in the NBA Finals due to matchups, he was instrumental in Oklahoma City's run to the championship. Playing in his first season with the Thunder, Hartenstein showed good chemistry alongside Chet Holmgren and excelled on both sides of the court. He appeared in 57 regular-season contests, posting sixth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats on a per-game basis with averages of 11.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Holmgren ended with 18 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, five blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 win over the Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Holmgren had some tough injury luck in 2024-25, missing a huge chunk of the season with a right iliac hip fracture. Playing in his second NBA season, Holmgren made 32 regular-season appearances, posting averages of 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.2 blocks, 0.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers on 49.0 percent from the field and 75.4 percent from the line. As a fantasy asset, Holmgren managed to produce fourth-round value on a per-game basis in nine-category formats.

Holmgren finished Thursday's 108-91 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals with four points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and six rebounds in 24 minutes.

Holmgren failed to have any sort of tangible impact, delivering his worst game of the postseason. Despite some inconsistent numbers throughout the playoffs, Holmgren has been largely impressive on both ends of the floor, averaging 15.0 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 29.7 minutes per game. With the series now tied at 3-3, both teams will head to Oklahoma City for Game 7, with everything on the line.

The Rockets have agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension with Adams, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Adams was expected to be a hot commodity in free agency this summer after having an impressive showing in the NBA playoffs. The Rockets value what the veteran center brings to the table and got an extension done before he could test free agency in July. In seven games during the postseason, Adams averaged 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 60 percent from the field.

Turner contributed 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Turner couldn't find any rhythm on the offensive end, missing several key baskets as the Pacers gave up a double-digit lead. In fact, Turner failed to hit a three-pointer for the first time since the opening round against the Bucks. With the series now all square, Turner will need to rediscover his form ahead of what promises to be a series-defining Game 5 in Oklahoma City on Monday.

Hartenstein finished Friday's 111-104 win over the Pacers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals with two points (1-3 FG), six rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes.

Hartenstein moved back into the starting lineup, although his production told a different story. In what has been an unfavorable matchup, Hartenstein has been a non-factor to this point, with both the Thunder and the Pacers opting to run smaller, interchangeable lineups. Hartenstein has played more than 20 minutes only twice in the past seven games. Friday's win means Oklahoma City will head home for Game 5 with the series locked at 2-2.
