    • Out for Game 5
      Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Thunder.

      Advice: Prosper has missed ten straight games with a sprained left ankle. HIs next chance to suit up will be Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:40 pm
       
    • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) doubtful for Game 5 Weds.
      Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Porter has not played in a game since injuring his ankle during the Cavaliers’ regular-season finale. His absence has not impacted the rotation, but Cleveland is in an unenviable position ahead of what could be the final game of their season. Starter Donovan Mitchell (calf) and critical reserve Caris LeVert (knee) are questionable for Game 5, with the latter starting Game 4 for the former. If both are sidelined, Porter would be needed if he is available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:41 pm
       
    • Another absence coming
      Jerome (ankle) is out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 while recovering from right ankle surgery. There is no indication that Jerome is nearing a return to action. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:40 pm
       
    • Unlikely to play Wednesday
      Porter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Porter is expected to miss his 12 straight game Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. While Porter's upgraded status suggests he's nearing a return, Cleveland being down 3-1 to Boston could mean the series will be over before the rookie guard can suit up again.

    • Officially cleared to play
      Kornet (calf) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers.

      Advice: Kornet was probable for Monday's matchup and will officially be able to suit up once again. Over the first three games of the series, he's averaged 3.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:10 pm
       
    • Luke Kornet (calf) cleared to play in Game 4
      Luke Kornet (right calf tightness) has been cleared to play in Game 4 against Cleveland on Monday.

      Advice: As expected, Kornet will be available to play the backup center minutes in this game. He played 21 minutes in the blowout win in Game 1, but he has played a total of 20 minutes in the two games since then. Barring a lopsided score, Kornet will likely play a minimal role in this game.

    • Enters rotation in blowout win
      Brown totaled zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds and one block in 10 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 victory over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Brown and several fellow second-stringers saw an uptick in playing time Sunday, with Brown seeing his first action in this series. The Pacers took control early and never relinquished, leveling the series at 2-2. Game 5 is in New York on Tuesday, where both teams will look to gain the upper hand.

    • Slots into rotation
      Walker provided five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over nine minutes during Sunday's 121-89 victory over the Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Walker played nine minutes off the bench, joining his fellow benchwarmers as the Pacers blew out the Knicks. While it was nice to see the rookie on the floor, there was possibly a case to be made for him playing even more minutes given the nature of the score. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:49 am
       
    • Increased role Sunday
      Jackson registered 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 19 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 win over New York in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Jackson played a substantial role Sunday in reaching double digits in points for the first time in the playoffs, as the Pacers easily accounted for the Knicks, leveling the series at 2-2. This was an ugly loss for New York, while Indiana fans had the time of their lives at the Knicks' expense. Given the grit and grind attitude in New York, expect to see a much-improved performance when the series continues Tuesday. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:48 am
