  • Strong from deep in 21-point outing
    Martin ended with 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

    Advice: Martin had a breakout performance in Wednesday's bounce-back victory, earning his second straight start to begin the series against the Celtics. Martin connected on a handful of threes while ending as one of three Heat players with 20 or more points, a mark he surpassed on four occasions during the regular season. Martin responded well after scoring four points in Game 1, and Miami will look for him to continue to help boost the offense in Game 3 and beyond. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:44 pm
     
  • Cam Reddish (ankle) out Thursday vs. Nuggets
    Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Thursday’s Lakers-Heat matchup.

    Advice: Reddish is still battling back from an ankle sprain and is set to miss a sixth consecutive game. Taurean Prince will likely continue to dominate the Lakers’ reserve wing minutes. Rotoworld Wednesday, 5:39 pm
     
  • Sidelined for Game 3
    Reddish (ankle) won't play in Thursday's Game 3 against Denver, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Reddish will miss a sixth consecutive game -- stretching back to the regular season -- with a sprained right ankle. Taurean Prince should continue to see more minutes in Reddish's absence. His next chance to play will come Saturday for Game 4. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:22 pm
     
  • Out for first-round series
    The Cavaliers announced Wednesday that Wade (knee) is considered out indefinitely and won't be available for the remainder of the team's first-round playoff series with the Magic.

    Advice: Wade hasn't taken the floor since March 8 due to a right knee sprain, and a timeline for his return remains uncertain after a recent MRI revealed that the big man will need more time to heal up. The 27-year-old finished the regular season with averages of 5.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers, 0.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks in 20.5 minutes per game over 54 appearances (32 starts).

  • Ruled out for Game 3
    Wade (knee) didn't practice Wednesday and will be unavailable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Magic, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

    Advice: Wade hasn't suited up since March 8 due to a right knee sprain, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. However, the team has been evaluating him on a game-by-game basis, and his next chance to suit up will be in Saturday's Game 4. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:41 am
     
  • Moves to bench
    Coffey will move to the bench for Tuesday's Game 2 versus Dallas, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

    Advice: This is an expected move for the Clippers, as Kawhi Leonard has the green light to return from his knee issue. Coffey was held in check in Game 1 on Sunday, scoring six points with three rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 6:35 pm
     
  • Haywood Highsmith (arm) active for Game 2
    Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is listed as active for Wednesday’s Game 2 matchup between the Heat and Celtics.

    Advice: Highsmith popped up on the injury report after Game 1 but isn’t at risk to miss any time ahead of Game 2. He’s logged at least 26 minutes in three straight games since the regular season ended but was held scoreless his last time out. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:31 pm
     
  • Strong from deep in loss
    Harris ended with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

    Advice: Harris led all Orlando players in threes made while hauling in a quartet of rebounds and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Harris bounced back in Game 2 after a disappointing performance in Game 1, during which the guard did not connect on a shot while being held scoreless. Harris will need to continue to provide a lift offensively for Orlando as it tries to erase a 2-0 series deficit entering Game 3. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:10 pm
     
  • Cam Reddish (ankle) ruled out Monday vs. Nuggets
    Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) is out for Monday’s Game 2 against the Nuggets.

    Advice: Reddish remains sidelined for another game, and his absence will not significantly impact the Lakers’ rotation. Starters D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves will play most of the minutes on the perimeter, with reserves Spencer Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent combining to log 21 minutes in Saturday’s Game 1 defeat.
