  • Reggie Jackson (calf) exits during fourth quarter
    Reggie Jackson (left calf tightness) tallied three points (1-of-6 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, and one 3-pointer in 10 minutes in Monday’s Game 2 loss to Minnesota.

    Advice: Already dealing with a sore left ankle, Jackson hobbled off the court during the fourth quarter with tightness in his left calf. While Denver announced that he was questionable to return, the veteran point guard remained in the locker room. The only production Denver received from its bench in Game 2 was from Justin Holiday, who shot 4-of-5 from three and finished with 13 points, two rebounds, and one assist. With Jackson and Murray dealing with calf issues, the Nuggets have two point guards not playing at full strength. Game 3 being on Friday could help matters, but the biggest problem has been the talented Timberwolves. Rotoworld Monday, 10:13 pm
     
  • Monte Morris (finger) will not return on Monday
    Monte Morris (right index finger sprain) will not return to Monday’s game against the Nuggets.

    Advice: Morris logged eight minutes before exiting Game 2, finishing with two points (1-of-4 FGs) and one steal. If he cannot play in Game 3 on Friday, Jordan McLaughlin could return to the rotation. However, neither will play enough to merit being added to DFS lineups. Rotoworld Monday, 9:23 pm
     
  • Exits with finger injury
    Morris won't return to Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets due to a right index finger sprain.

    Advice: Morris left the game in the second half and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the matchup. He logged eight minutes prior to departing, so his absence shouldn't impact Minnesota's rotation much. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:20 pm
     
  • Helped to locker room
    Jackson exited Monday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves with an apparent left ankle injury, Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports reports.

    Advice: Jackson exited the contest with eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, and considering the deficit Denver faced when he left, it seems unlikely that he'll return. He'll be considered day-to-day until the team provides additional details on his status. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:13 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Game 1
    Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against Boston.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't suited up since late October due to ankle surgery. He'll remain sidelined to begin the Cavaliers' second-round series, and it's unclear when or if he'll be able to return during the playoffs. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:39 pm
     
  • Still out
    Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter didn't play during the opening-round series and will remain sidelined to start the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Even if the undrafted rookie is cleared, he isn't guaranteed playing time in the postseason. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:38 pm
     
  • Remains out
    Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Wade hasn't played since March 8 due to a right knee sprain. It's unclear if he'll get the green light at any point during the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but unless Cleveland provides an update, Wade can be considered day-to-day. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:37 pm
     
  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) out for Game 7 on Sunday
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

    Advice: Porter’s continued absence will not impact the Cavaliers’ rotation, as he has not played since the regular season finale. Even if he were healthy, starters Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell will log heavy minutes as Cleveland looks to avoid another first-round exit. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:41 pm
     
  • Out again Sunday
    Porter (ankle) will not play in Sunday's Game 7 against the Magic.

    Advice: This will be the seventh game in a row on the shelf for Porter, and he remains without a timetable for a return. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:36 pm
