    Advice: Allen will miss an eighth straight game due to a right rib contusion.

  • Struggles in Game 5 loss
    Reid contributed seven points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Reid was a non-factor in the loss, continuing his recent struggles. Coming off a career-best regular season, Reid has been unable to produce consistently during the postseason. He has scored fewer than 15 points in eight of the Timberwolves' nine playoff games. Now facing a must-win matchup, Reid will look to turn things around in front of his home fans.

  • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable for Game 5 Weds.
    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Injured during Cleveland’s first-round series against Orlando, Allen has missed the team’s last seven games with a rib contusion. His absence has shifted Evan Mobley into the starting center position, with Isaac Okoro filling the void in the starting lineup. Expect that to be the case if Allen cannot play in Game 5, with Dean Wade also experiencing an increase in playing time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:33 pm
     
  • Jarrett Allen (ribs) out again for Game 4 Monday
    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) will remain sidelined for Game 4 against Boston on Monday.

    Advice: Allen will miss a seventh straight game on Monday due to this rib contusion, which means that Isaac Okoro will remain in the starting unit. They will be extremely short-handed, with Donovan Mitchell also sidelined, so they will have to rely on big games from Darius Garland and Evan Mobley in order to have a chance.

  • Present for shootaround
    Allen (ribs) was spotted taking part in the Cavaliers' morning shootaround but remains questionable for Monday's Game 4 matchup with the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals round, Carly Mascitti of News 5 Cleveland reports.

    Advice: Allen has missed the past six games for Cleveland with a right rib contusion. He was mostly doing stationary shooting during his time on the court Monday, making it unclear if he'll be ready to put an end to his absence when the Cavaliers face the Celtics in Game 4. More clarity on Allen's status should arrive closer to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:33 am
     
  • Questionable once more
    Allen (ribs) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Advice: Allen has missed six consecutive contests with bruised ribs despite being listed as questionable leading up to each contest. While he's been sidelined, Evan Mobley has slid to the center spot and Isaac Okoro has entered the starting lineup. Should that trend continue, Tristan Thompson would be lined up to fill the backup center role. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:47 pm
