  • Probable for Sunday
    Middleton is probable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Middleton is coming off a 42-point effort in the Game 3 loss on Friday, and the veteran forward has embraced a more prominent role on offense with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined. Middleton is averaging 26.7 points per game in the series while logging at least 35 minutes in each game, and the probable tag suggests he shouldn't have problems handling his regular workload Sunday.

  • Khris Middleton (ankle) probable Sunday vs. Indy
    Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) is listed as probable to play in Game 4 against the Pacers on Sunday.

    Advice: With both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard listed as doubtful, Middleton will have to put the team on his back in this game. He had 42 points in Game 3, and he may have to produce similar value to give the Bucks a chance. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Game 4
    Allen (ankle) is questionable for Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Allen didn't play in Game 3 of the series Friday, and his status is unclear, although the questionable tag leaves the door open for a return in what might be the final game of the Suns' season. Allen is averaging just 3.5 points per game while shooting a meager 20 percent from the field in his two appearances during the current series. Rotowire.com Today, 1:48 pm
     
  • Doubtful to play in Game 4
    Hardaway is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Hardaway left Game 2 of the series on Tuesday after just six minutes of action and didn't feature in Game 3, so he's been extremely limited in the series. The doubtful tag isn't particularly encouraging ahead of Sunday's contest, but an official announcement should be made closer to Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Even if he's available, he should come off the bench and his minutes could be closely monitored given his recent injury issues. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm
     
  • Grayson Allen (ankle) questionable Sunday
    Grayson Allen (right ankle sprain) is questionable to play in Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

    Advice: Allen sat out Game 3, which allowed Royce O’Neale to start in his place. However, Eric Gordon ended up stepping up and logging 34 minutes off the bench. If Allen remains out, both players will have to play important roles to keep this series alive. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm
     
  • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) doubtful to play Game 4
    Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) is listed as doubtful to play in Game 4 against the Clippers on Sunday.

    Advice: THJ missed Game 3 after exiting early from Game 2. Josh Green ended up playing 25 minutes off the bench, while Dante Exum logged 12 minutes. With Hardaway Jr. expected to miss another game, both Green and Exum will play important roles off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 1:39 pm
     
  • Will be questionable for Game 4
    Leonard (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks, head coach Tyronn Lue told Joey Linn of SI.com.

    Advice: Leonard logged 25 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, finishing with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists, but he didn't look as fluid in his movements as he did in Game 2, where he was able to play 35 minutes while pouring 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. His official status will be determined closer to Sunday's 3.30 p.m. ET tipoff, but if he's ruled out, then Terance Mann and Amir Coffey would be in line to pick up extra minutes.

  • Jonathan Isaac chips in 14/7/1/1/2 line off bench
    Jonathan Isaac provided a boost off the bench on Saturday with 14 points (5-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and four triples in Game 4 against Cleveland.

    Advice: After starting the first two games of this series, Isaac came off the bench for the last two. He had a decent performance in Game 3, but he provided an excellent boost off the bench in this one. Isaac’s defense has been critical through the series, but he was also able to make an impact with from beyond the arc in this one. They won their two home games with Isaac coming off the bench, and the offense was significantly better. Isaac will continue to play an important reserve role in Game 5 on Tuesday.
