  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out for Game 4 Sunday
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is out for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: As Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said on Saturday, Robinson did go through a pregame routine on Sunday afternoon. However, the ankle did not react as the Knicks hoped it would, so Robinson will not play. Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims will factor into the rotation, but New York really needs Isaiah Hartenstein to avoid foul trouble. Rotoworld Today, 9:31 am
     
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for Game 4 Sunday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Giannis remains sidelined, and with Damian Lillard (Achilles) also out, the Bucks will be without their top two scorers for Game 4. Bobby Portis will continue to start, and while he has been solid offensively, Pacers forward Pascal Siakam has flourished on the other end of the floor. Rotoworld Today, 8:54 am
     
  • Intends to play Sunday
    Robinson (ankle), who's officially listed as questionable, is warming up with the intention of playing in Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Robinson sprained his surgically repaired left ankle during Thursday's Game 3 loss and didn't practice Saturday while sporting a walking boot. However, it seems those measures were merely precautionary, as the big man is expected to suit up in Game 4, barring a setback during warmups. After posting eight points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in 30 minutes during a Game 1 victory, Robinson was limited to 30 total minutes over the next two matchups and complied three points and 11 boards during those contests.

  • Downgraded to out
    Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: As expected, Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard (Achilles) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out. Khris Middleton (ankle) remains probable. Bobby Portis should continue to start for Antetokounmpo and will need to play an even larger role on offense due to Lillard missing his first game of the postseason. Antetokounmpo has yet to progress to team drills, but his next chance to suit up will come during Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:35 am
     
  • Modest production continues
    Wagner ended with seven points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 15 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Wagner has averaged 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 16.8 minutes through the first four games of the opening-round series against the Cavaliers. The Magic's rotation was basically cut to nine players Saturday, with Wagner, Cole Anthony, Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaac all playing at least 15 minutes off the bench.

  • Sinks two triples in win
    Carter provided 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Carter started both wins in Orlando after coming off the bench during the two losses in Cleveland. The big man totaled just 11 points on 21.4 percent shooting through the first three games, so his efficient offensive production was a surprising bright spot for the Magic. Jonathan Isaac, who Carter replaced in the starting lineup, popped for 14 points, seven boards and two blocks during the Game 4 win, so it's safe to assume both players are more comfortable in their current roles.

  • Near double-double
    Allen produced 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Allen has arguably been the MVP for Cleveland to start the postseason, averaging 17.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.8 minutes per game through the first four matchups against Orlando. The big man's 21 points were his most during the opening-round series thus far, but after grabbing 38 rebounds through the first two games in Cleveland, Allen accumulated just 17 boards across two losses in Orlando.

  • Strong defensive effort
    Mobley finished Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes.

    Advice: Mobley blocked multiple shots for the third time through four matchups against Orlando and added multiple steals for the first time during that stretch. Through four postseason games, the defensive-minded forward has averaged 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 30.5 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 7:26 am
     
  • Gets five minutes in return
    Kornet (calf) tallied two points (2-2 FT) and one rebound across five minutes Saturday in the Celtics' 104-84 win over the Heat in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series.

    Advice: After Kornet was ruled out of the Celtics' playoff opener April 21, head coach Joe Mazzulla labeled the backup center as week-to-week after he strained his right calf during a practice. Ultimately, Kornet missed just two games on account of the issue, as he took back a small role in the Boston rotation in his return to action Saturday. Kornet is unlikely to see his playing time grow substantially as the Celtics' playoff run continues. Rotowire.com Today, 5:59 am
