    • Puts up shots Tuesday
      Coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday that Antetokounmpo (calf) was able to get on the floor to put up shots and is getting closer a return, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Antetokounmpo has already been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2, marking his fifth straight absence due to a left calf strain. The Bucks were able to secure the victory in Game 1 over Indiana, which gives Antetokounmpo more time to return for Milwaukee's first-round series. Rotowire.com Today, 4:23 pm
       
    • Officially ruled out
      Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Pacers.

      Advice: As expected, Antetokounmpo has been downgraded from doubtful to out while he continues to recover from a left soleus strain. Without their star player, the Bucks were able to win Game 1 behind a stellar first-half performance from Damian Lillard, affording Antetokounmpo some extra rest, but if Milwaukee drops Game 2 at home, there may be added pressure for the MVP candidate to return Friday, when the series shifts to Indiana for Game 3.

    • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) ruled out Tuesday
      Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) has been ruled out for the Bucks’ Game 2 matchup against the Pacers on Tuesday.

      Advice: The Bucks’ star forward will miss his second playoff game of the postseason on Tuesday. Bobby Portis will likely continue filling in for him as a starter until his return. Rotoworld Today, 1:34 pm
       
    • Hopeful to return in postseason
      Williamson (hamstring), who will be re-evaluated in one week, says it is "realistic" he returns in the postseason, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Williamson exited the Pelicans' first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers with a hamstring strain and has not played since. However, Williamson says he is hopeful to eventually make his postseason return, which would likely require a second-round matchup. Despite not having Williamson available for Game 1 against the top-seeded Thunder, the Pelicans kept it close, losing 94-92. How quickly the medical staff clears him may depend on how the remainder of the series plays out. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm
       
    • Leading scorer in Game 2 loss
      Banchero notched 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 41 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Banchero led all Orlando players in scoring while handing out a trio of rebounds and assists and swiping a team-high pair of steals in a losing effort in Game 2. Banchero has done all he can to help the Magic in the first two games of the series against the Cavaliers, surpassing the 20-point mark while recording at least three rebounds and steals in both outings.

    • Paolo Banchero leads ORL with 21 points in Game 2
      Paolo Banchero played 41 minutes in Monday’s 96-86 loss to the Cavaliers, accounting for 21 points (9-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Banchero once again led the Magic in scoring, but, as was the case in Game 1 on Saturday, inefficiency was an issue. After racking up a career-high nine turnovers in the series opener, he was responsible for six more in Game 2. With Orlando’s limited offense, especially considering the team’s lack of consistent perimeter shooters, they can’t afford to give up possessions. If Banchero can’t clean up that aspect of his game, this series may only have two more games. Game 3 is Thursday night in Orlando. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:07 pm
       
    • Tagged as doubtful
      Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 2 against Indiana.

      Advice: Antetokounmpo's left Soleus strain appears on track to keep him sidelined for Game 2, although Milwaukee can breathe a huge sigh of relief after controlling Game 1 at home. Antetokounmpo suffering a calf-related setback would be a worst-case scenario for the Bucks, so proceeding with caution appears likely, but his status will still need to be monitored until he is officially ruled out.

    • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) doubtful for Game 2
      Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is doubtful for Tuesday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: While TNT’s Jared Greenberg reported before Game 1 that Antetokounmpo could return to the Bucks lineup at some point in this series, Tuesday’s Game 2 appears unlikely. He’s doubtful, with Bobby Portis remaining in the starting lineup if Giannis cannot play. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:34 pm
       
    • Giannis Antetokounmpo officially out for Game 1
      Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) has officially been ruled out for Game 1 against the Pacers on Sunday.

      Advice: Giannis was listed as doubtful for this game, so it isn’t surprising that he won’t be available to suit up. Bobby Portis started in his place to end the regular season, and he should fill the starting void again to start the postseason. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:06 am
