    • Won't have minutes restriction
      Coach Joe Mazulla said that Porzingis will not have any minutes restrictions in Game 1 versus the Mavericks on Thursday, Steven Bulpett of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Mazulla added that he hasn't yet decided if KP will start, but it sounds like Porzingis will be a full-go for Game 1 of the Finals. His return will result in fewer minutes for Xavier Tillman and Al Horford. Rotowire.com Thursday, 4:11 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis won’t be restricted Thursday
      Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said that Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) will not be under any restrictions for Thursday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Porzingis, who strained the soleus muscle in his right calf during Game 3 of the first round, was officially cleared to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday. Mazzulla revealing on Thursday afternoon that the 7-foot-3 post won’t be restricted should comfort DFS players who considered slotting Porzingis into their lineups. Al Horford drops to the bench, and his value will take a slight hit with Porzingis in the fold. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:56 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) probable for Game 1
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is probable for Thursday’s NBA Finals opener against the Celtics.

      Advice: Doncic is officially probable due to the same injuries he played through during the Western Conference Finals. Simply put, it will take a wild turn of events for him to sit out Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Doncic will take on his usual workload. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:34 pm
       
    • Deemed probable for Game 1
      Doncic is probable for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics on Thursday despite a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Doncic has been a regular on the injury report all postseason but hasn't missed a game, averaging 28.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 41.5 minutes across 17 appearances. The superstar point guard shouldn't face any restrictions during Game 1 in Boston. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:55 pm
       
    • Says he'll play Game 1 of Finals
      Porzingis (calf) said he will play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against Dallas on Thursday, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: This has been the expectation for several days after Porzingis was able to take part in multiple scrimmages at Boston's recent practices. Per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com, Porzingis said it's still "open" when it comes to what his conditioning level will be after being limited to light on-court work. Porzingis hasn't played since Game 4 of the opening-round matchup versus Miami and averaged 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 steals in 30.3 minutes over the first three matchups of that series.

    • Kristaps Porzingis (calf) says he’ll play Thursday
      Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) says that he will play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday against Dallas.

      Advice: This has been the expectation for a little while now, but now it is pretty much official. The Celtics will be back to full strength when it matters most. This will push Al Horford back to the bench, but he will still play a significant role in this series. Rotoworld Wednesday, 10:33 am
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis (calf) probable for Game 1
      Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) is expected to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

      Advice: Porzingis has been out since April 29, but he was reportedly ready to come back as soon as Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Indiana. Boston’s commanding lead in that series allowed the Celtics to rest Porzingis, but after so much time off, it’s unclear if he’ll be rusty or face a minutes restriction. Porzingis’ return presumably means Al Horford will shift back to the bench. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:59 am
       
    • Probable for Game 1
      Porzingis (calf) is expected to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Mavericks on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Porzingis has managed to participate in multiple scrimmages in recent days without any setbacks. He hasn't played since Game 4 of the Celtics' opening-round series versus Miami on April 29, so it will be interesting to see how many minutes he can handle to open the series against Dallas.

    • Productive in return
      Lively posted nine points (3-3 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 25 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 win over Minnesota in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: Lively returned to action Thursday after missing Game 4 due to a neck injury. The rookie big man returned to his role of coming off the bench but splitting minutes at the center position with Daniel Gafford as a platoon. Lively averaged 9.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 blocks in 22.0 minutes across his four appearances in the Western Conference Finals. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:06 pm
