  • Takes on increased role in Game 4
    Green tallied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Bucks' 126-113 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the series.

    Advice: After missing the final two games of the regular season with a left ankle sprain, Green was fully cleared ahead of the Bucks' first-round playoff matchup and has been included in the rotation in each of the first four contests of the series. He received his biggest workload yet Sunday, as the Bucks opened up more minutes in the backcourt for Green, Malik Beasley and Andre Jackson while Damian Lillard (Achilles) joined Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in street clothes and Bobby Portis was ejected in the first quarter. Lillard's status for Tuesday's Game 5 has yet to be determined, so Green could be in store for another 20-plus-minute role if Lillard is sidelined once again. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:53 am
     
  • Gets light role in return
    Melton (back) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in seven minutes Sunday in the 76ers' 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first-round playoff series.

    Advice: After missing the first two games of the playoffs due to back injury recovery and then not leaving the bench in Game 3 in a coach's decision, Melton made his series debut Sunday. Melton didn't make much of an impact during his limited time on the floor, and he's uncertain to be included in the rotation in Game 5 on Tuesday, when the 76ers will look to stave off elimination.

  • Ruled out for Monday
    Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Reddish will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return if the Lakers stage a dramatic comeback in their first-round series. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:48 pm
     
  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) probable for Game 5 Monday
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) is probable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

    Advice: While Jackson was available for Saturday’s Game 4 defeat, he only played nine minutes off the bench. The probable tag suggests he will be cleared for Game 5, and the Nuggets may need even more from Jackson. Jamal Murray is questionable with a strained calf, and Jackson would be the next man up if Denver’s starting point guard cannot play. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:37 pm
     
  • Probable for Monday
    Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson has appeared in the Nuggets' first four playoff matchups, averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 assists in 8.3 minutes per game. While he continues to deal with an ankle issue, he'll likely be able to suit up again Monday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:33 pm
     
  • Will start sans Leonard
    Coffey will start Sunday's Game 4 against Dallas, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) sidelined, Coffey drew a start in Game 1 and posted six points and three rebounds in 25 minutes. He moved back to the bench for Games 2 and 3, but Leonard has been shut down again after a pair of subpar performances. Across 13 regular-season starts, Coffey averaged 11.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:08 am
     
  • Amir Coffey to start Sunday’s Game 4 vs. Mavericks
    James Harden, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, Paul George, and Ivica Zubac will start Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

    Advice: Kawhi Leonard (knee) is out, so Coffey returns to the starting lineup for Game 4. He started Game 1 but failed to offer much value, finishing with six points, three rebounds, one assist, and two 3-pointers. In addition to Coffey starting, look for Norman Powell to play more minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:07 am
     
  • Delon Wright (personal) probable for Game 4 Monday
    Delon Wright (personal reasons) is probable for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Wright is expected to play after missing Saturday’s Game 3 defeat. With Terry Rozier (neck) sidelined, he should approach 20 minutes if cleared for Monday’s contest. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:30 am
     
  • Likely available Monday
    Wright (personal) is probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Wright will likely be back to soak up some of Terry Rozier's (neck) missing minutes after being absent for Saturday's Game 3 loss due to personal reasons. In Game 1, Wright posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:26 am
