  • Haywood Highsmith (arm) probable Saturday vs. Heat
    Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is listed as probable for Saturday’s Heat-Celtics matchup.

    Advice: Highsmith is back on the injury report after contributing nine points, three rebounds, and a steal in Game 2. He’ll likely continue playing a significant bench role on Saturday. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Luke Kornet (calf) probable Saturday vs. Heat
    Luke Kornet (left calf strain) is probable for Saturday’s Celtics-Heat matchup.

    Advice: Kornet didn’t play in Games 1 or 2 but appears poised to make his 2024 playoff debut this weekend. It’s unlikely that he’ll play a ton behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, though. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Iffy for Game 3
    Wright is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics due to personal reasons.

    Advice: Wright starred off the bench during the Game 1 loss and posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes. However, he finished the Game 2 win with just five points and four rebounds in 20 minutes. Either way, his potential loss could be costly to a backcourt already playing with Terry Rozier (neck) and Josh Richardson (shoulder). Jimmy Butler also remains out. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Good to go Saturday
    Nance (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Nance was held to just 14 minutes of action in Game 2 due to an apparent right ankle injury. However, Nance should be available and serve as one of New Orleans' primary frontcourt options off the bench in Game 3. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
     
  • Likely available Saturday
    Kornet (calf) is probable for Saturday's Game 3 in Miami.

    Advice: After starting the final two regular-season games while the usual starters rested, Kornet was sidelined for the first two postseason games while rehabbing a calf injury. Even if he gets the green light, Kornet isn't guaranteed a significant role, especially if Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis remain healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
     
  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) questionable Saturday v
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle) is listed as questionable for the Nugget’s Saturday matchup with the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson is still hobbled after tweaking his ankle on Thursday and his availability for Saturday is up in the air. His absence isn’t likely to affect the rotation much. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Another absence coming
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Saturday's Game 4 against the Magic.

    Advice: Porter will miss his fourth straight contest to start the playoffs Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Game 5 on Tuesday against Orlando. Rotowire.com Today, 1:33 pm
     
  • Questionable for Saturday
    Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's Game 4 against the Lakers, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Advice: Jackson left the Nuggets' Game 3 win Thursday in the third quarter and was unable to return, finishing with five points and an assist in seven minutes. Coach Michael Malone said Friday that Jackson has a sprained left ankle and is wearing a preventative boot. With the Nuggets leading the series 3-0, the team will likely be cautious with the 34-year-old. Rotowire.com Today, 1:01 pm
     
  • Practices Friday
    Nance (undisclosed) was a full participant in practice Friday, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

    Advice: Nance left Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Thunder in the third quarter favoring his right leg and grabbed at his ankle as he walked to the locker room. He didn't play at all in the final frame. On Friday, coach Willie Green said that despite the soreness, Nance "went through a full practice." This is good news for the Pelicans, who are still without Zion Williamson (hamstring). Rotowire.com Today, 12:47 pm
