  • Malik Beasley to start Game 4 for injured Lillard
    Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley, Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez will start Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: The Bucks are without Damian Lillard (Achilles) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), with the former aggravating a previous injury during the Game 3 overtime loss. Beasley moves into the starting lineup, with Portis continuing to fill in for Giannis. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) available for Game 4 Sun.
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is available for Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

    Advice: The Pacers endured a scare on Sunday afternoon, as Haliburton was a late addition to the injury report. He has since been cleared so that Indiana will roll out its usual starting lineup. Haliburton is joined by Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Joins starting lineup
    Beasley is starting Sunday's Game 4 against Indiana.

    Advice: Beasley came off the bench in the first three games of the Bucks' first-round series and averaged 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game. He'll join the starting lineup Sunday since Damian Lillard (Achilles) has been ruled out. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Paul George tallies 33 points, seven 3-pointers
    Paul George shot 11-of-19 from the field and 4-of-7 from the foul line in Sunday’s 116-111 win over the Mavericks, scoring 33 points with six rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block, and seven 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

    Advice: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, the Clippers desperately needed George to bounce back from a brutal Game 3 performance. That’s precisely what happened: he scored 26 points in the first half as the Clippers led by as much as 31. Dallas rallied, eventually taking the lead during the fourth quarter, but George made a seemingly improbable corner 3-pointer to help seal the deal. The Clippers head home tied at two games apiece, with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday night. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Active for Game 4
    Haliburton (back) is active for Sunday's Game 4 against the Bucks, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Haliburton was a late addition to Sunday's injury report due to bask spasms, but he's on the list of active players for Indiana. Whether he'll have any limitations due to his injury remains to be seen. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable for Game 4
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

    Advice: Haliburton is a late addition to the injury report, which is a concerning turn of events for the Pacers. With Andrew Nembhard already in the starting lineup, Ben Sheppard and T.J. McConnell would pick up additional minutes if Haliburton cannot play. The Pacers’ star point guard has not missed a game since January 28, before Buddy Hield was traded to the 76ers.

  • Dealing with back spasms
    Haliburton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to back spasms, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Haliburton is a late addition to the injury report due to a back issue that now has his status in question. If he is unable to go, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard will likely get a lot of action at the point. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) probable for Game 5 Monday
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) is probable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

    Advice: While Jackson was available for Saturday’s Game 4 defeat, he only played nine minutes off the bench. The probable tag suggests he will be cleared for Game 5, and the Nuggets may need even more from Jackson. Jamal Murray is questionable with a strained calf, and Jackson would be the next man up if Denver’s starting point guard cannot play. Rotoworld Today, 2:37 pm
     
  • Dealing with calf strain
    Murray is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers due to a left calf strain.

    Advice: Murray played 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 loss and posted 22 points (9-23 FG), six rebounds and five assists. However, he appears to have suffered a calf injury during the contest as well. While the Nuggets won the first three matchups of the series, the Lakers have led the majority of every game so far. Reggie Jackson (ankle) is probable for Game 5 and would presumably start at point guard if Murray is ruled out. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm
