  • Moves to bench
    Coffey will come off the bench for Friday's Game 6 versus the Mavericks, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.

    Advice: P.J. Tucker is getting the nod with the first unit, and it's not a huge surprise. Coffey has been struggling in this series, posting averages of 3.0 points on 28.6 percent shooting from the field. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:07 pm
     
  • LAC starting Harden, Mann, George, Tucker, Zubac
    James Harden, Terance Mann, Paul George, P.J. Tucker, and Ivica Zubac will start Friday’s Game 6 against the Mavericks.

    Advice: The Clippers need a win to extend the series to a decisive Game 7, and Tyronn Lue has changed his starting lineup. Tucker replaces Amir Coffey, who started the three games Kawhi Leonard has missed due to a lingering knee injury. While the veteran forward doesn’t offer much offensively beyond a few corner 3-pointers, his defense and physicality could be impactful for the Clippers. Rotoworld Friday, 6:06 pm
     
  • Moves into starting five
    Tucker will move into the starting lineup for Friday's Game 6 versus Dallas, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.

    Advice: The Clippers are opting for more of a defensive presence as they are facing an elimination game. Amir Coffey will head to the bench with this move. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:04 pm
     
  • Heads to bench
    Okoro isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's Game 6 against the Magic.

    Advice: Okoro will be replaced by Marcus Morris in the starting five, while Jarrett Allen (hip) misses a second consecutive contest.

  • Ruled out
    Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 against the Cavaliers, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Harris will miss his first game of the series due to a right hamstring strain he suffered during Game 5. Jonathan Isaac will start in Harris' absence, but Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony are also candidates for increased roles. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:34 pm
     
  • Gary Harris (hamstring) ruled out for Game 6
    Gary Harris (right hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Game 6 against Cleveland on Friday.

  • Officially deemed questionable
    Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 6 against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Harris was already deemed a game-time decision for Game 6, so his questionable injury label isn't surprising. If the 29-year-old guard is ruled out, Caleb Houstan, Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black are all candidates to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:48 pm
     
  • Gary Harris (hamstring) questionable Thursday
    Gary Harris (right hamstring strain) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday’s Magic-Cavaliers matchup.

    Advice: Harris didn’t return to the game after suffering an injury in Game 5 but does have a chance to suit up in Game 6. Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony have a chance to take on larger roles if Harris is unable to suit up. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:36 am
     
  • Caleb Martin scores 10 points in Game 5 blowout
    Caleb Martin played 36 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics, tallying 10 points (4-of-9 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, and one 3-pointer.

    Advice: Martin reached double figures in three of the series’ five games, including a 21-point performance in Miami’s Game 2 victory. But the inconsistency meant he wasn’t a reliable option for DFS players, mirroring his season-long fantasy value. Martin was a late-round pick, at best, in most fantasy leagues before the season began, and his production bore that out. He finished the regular season ranked outside the top 200 in 9-cat formats and offers a significantly lower fantasy ceiling than Jaime Jaquez Jr. There’s little reason to plan on selecting Martin in drafts next fall. Still, there will be times when he’s worth the streaming risk. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:00 pm
