    • To miss Game 2
      Gobert (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Gobert was added to the team's injury report earlier in the day due to a personal matter, and he's since been downgraded to out after Charania confirmed the birth of Gobert's first child. Look for Naz Reid, who put up 16 points in Game 1, and Kyle Anderson to see an increased workload in the frontcourt Monday night. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:36 pm
       
    • Rudy Gobert (personal) downgraded to out Monday
      Rudy Gobert (personal reasons) will not play in Monday’s Game 2 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: While there were some questions regarding whether Gobert could make it back to Denver in time for Game 2 after being present for the birth of his child, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said he would not play. Naz Reid will play more minutes, likely as a starter, and Minnesota needs Karl-Anthony Towns to avoid committing silly fouls. Kyle Anderson should also experience an increase in playing time.

    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) available Tuesday
      Tim Hardaway Jr. is available for Tuesday’s Game 1 against the Thunder.

      Advice: THJ sat out Games 3-6 of Dallas’ first-round series against the Clippers, but he’ll be good to go for Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. He averaged 14.4 points and 2.7 triples in the regular season, so his return will be a welcomed sight to Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving thanks to his scoring and floor spacing.

    • Rudy Gobert (personal) questionable Monday
      Rudy Gobert is questionable for Monday’s matchup with Denver due to personal reasons.

      Advice: Minnesota took Game 1 on the road in Denver on Saturday, and Gobert’s absence would create a major hole in the Wolves’ roster for Game 2. If he’s ultimately unable to go, expect Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson to see bumps in playing time to fill the void. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:59 am
       
    • Available for Game 1
      Hardaway (ankle) will be available for Game 1 against the Thunder on Monday, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

      Advice: This was the expectation when Hardaway made it through practices on Sunday and Monday. While this is great news for Dallas, it will be interesting to see how many minutes he's allotted because he's been struggling mightily with his shot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:38 am
       
    • Probable for Game 1
      Doncic (knee) is probable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Doncic also dealt with a knee injury for most of the Mavericks' first-round series but wasn't forced to miss any time. He maintained a high level of production, averaging 29.8 points, 9.5 assists and 8.8 rebounds in 42.5 minutes per game. The 25-year-old should continue to be available for the start of the second round. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:35 am
       
    • Late addition to injury report
      Gobert is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets due to personal reasons.

      Advice: Gobert's partner is due to give birth this month, per Jack Borman of Canius Hoopus, so that's likely the reasoning behind the big man missing the team's morning shootaround. Gobert has the full support of his team, and it's still possible he's able to return in time for the 10 p.m. ET tipoff. However, if Gobert is unavailable, Naz Reid, who had a stellar fourth quarter in Game 1, would be a candidate for increased minutes, but Karl-Anthony Towns would likely start at center.

    • Goes through practice
      Hardaway (ankle) was spotted going through another practice Monday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Hardaway also practiced on Sunday and continues to trend in the right direction. There should be additional clarity on his status for Game 1 against the Thunder on Tuesday when the Mavericks release their official injury report Monday evening. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:21 am
       
    • Practices Sunday
      Coach Jason Kidd said Hardaway (ankle) returned to practice Sunday, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Hardaway sprained his right ankle during Game 2 of the opening-round series against the Clippers and missed the final four contests. His return to practice is an encouraging sign, but Hardaway's official status for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Thunder likely won't be known until Monday afternoon. Hardaway was one of the best sixth men in the NBA for much of the regular season, but his production tailed off later in the year, so it's difficult to assess exactly what his night-to-night role will be once he's cleared to return. Over his last 20 games, Hardaway averaged just 8.7 points on 37.8 percent shooting (33.0% 3Pt). Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:41 am
