  • Good to go Tuesday
    Robinson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Robinson has been from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Game 4 with a left ankle sprain. Robinson will likely continue to split time with Precious Achiuwa as the backup center to Isaiah Hartenstein. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:37 pm
     
  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) active for Game 5 Tues.
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is available for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson is back after missing Sunday’s Game 4 victory. He will occupy his usual place in the rotation, serving as Isaiah Hartenstein’s backup. How much Robinson plays remains to be seen, especially with the OG Anunoby/Precious Achiuwa tandem being so effective in defending Joel Embiid during the fourth quarter of Game 4.

  • Will play in Game 5
    Embiid (knee/migraine) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.

    Advice: Embiid has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left knee injury and a migraine. The superstar big man is averaging 35.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 40.3 minutes across the first four games of the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:34 pm
     
  • Joel Embiid (knee/migraine) available Tuesday
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery, migraine) is available for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Knicks.

    Advice: Embiid, who has been dealing with multiple injuries during this series, will play on Tuesday as the 76ers look to keep their season alive. If the reigning MVP experiences any complications with his knee, Paul Reed will take on an increased workload. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:31 pm
     
  • Likely out multiple games
    Porzingis (calf) is expected to miss a minimum of several games, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Porzingis has already been ruled out for Game 5 against Miami on Wednesday due to a right soleus strain, but it now appears that he will be headed toward an extended absence. It seems unlikely that Porzingis will return to action for the remainder of Boston's first-round series and could be kept out longer if the team continues to advance in the playoffs. With the 28-year-old big man sidelined, Al Horford should slide into the starting lineup, with Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman competing for bench minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:37 pm
     
  • Kristaps Porzingis (calf) out for Game 5 Wednesday
    Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

    Advice: The good news is that imaging done on Porzingis’ right leg did not reveal any damage to his Achilles tendon. The bad is that he’s been diagnosed with a strained soleus muscle and will not play in Game 5. The expectation is that Porzingis will miss several games, and the injury is the same as the one that has sidelined Giannis Antetokounmpo. Al Horford will move into the starting lineup, boosting his value in DFS tournaments. Also, Sam Hauser may pick up additional minutes off the bench as the Celtics look to close out the series.

  • Won't play Game 5
    Porzingis (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Advice: Porzingis has been diagnosed with a right soleus strain, the same injury that's kept Giannis Antetokounmpo out since April 9. With Boston holding a 3-1 lead, Al Horford will likely slide into the starting lineup in Porzingis' absence for at least the remainder of the opening-round series.

  • Jarrett Allen (rib) questionable Tuesday vs. Magic
    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s Cavaliers-Magic game.

    Advice: Allen is on the injury report after scoring a series-high 21 points in Game 4. The Cavs big man’s production has dropped off since he recorded back-to-back double-doubles in Games 1 and 2. Tristan Thompson could be asked to step up and play a larger role if Allen is ruled out.

  • Late addition to injury report
    Allen is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Magic due to a right rib contusion.

    Advice: Allen is a late addition to the injury report, and his availability is in jeopardy for the critical Game 5 in Cleveland. The big man has arguably been the MVP for the Cavaliers in the opening-round series, as he's averaged 17.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.8 minutes over the first four matchups. After dominating Jonathan Isaac in the first two games, Orlando countered by moving Wendell Carter back into the starting lineup. While the Magic won the last two games with Carter as a starter, Allen has still been able to produce offensively, though his rebounding numbers haven't been as prolific as they were to start the series.
