    Advice: Vanderbilt will have an opportunity to make his postseason debut after proving his health in pregame workouts. It's unclear as to how much he'll factor into the rotation after failing to see any action since Feb. 1, but he'll be ready to go if called upon. Rotowire.com Today, 6:15 pm
     
  • Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) cleared to play in Game 5
    Jarred Vanderbilt (right mid-foot sprain) will play in Game 5 against the Nuggets on Monday.

    Advice: Vanderbilt hasn’t played in nearly three months, but he will make his return in what could be their final game of the season. He’ll give them a new look on the defensive end if Darvin Ham chooses to utilize him, but he likely won’t see enough minutes to make an impact on this game. Rotoworld Today, 6:13 pm
     
  • Woj: Kristaps Porzingis to undergo imaging Tuesday
    Kristaps Porzingis will undergo imaging on Tuesday, though early indications are that he has sustained a right Achilles injury, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

    Advice: They initially listed his injury as a calf strain, but it appears that it may be far more severe than that. The team will hopefully provide a clearer update on Tuesday, but it seems like Al Horford will be starting at center for the foreseeable future, with Xavier Tillman and Luke Kornet sprinkling in a few minutes.

  • Unlikely to return
    Porzingis is being considered doubtful to return to Monday's Game 5 against the Heat due to right calf tightness, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    Advice: The severity of Porzingis' injury is not yet known, however, it sounds like he'll be held out the rest of the way. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN has already reported that Porzingis will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, and the initial indication is that he managed to avoid an Achilles injury. Boston should have more information on the big man's status over the next day or so. Rotowire.com Today, 5:43 pm
     
  • Kristaps Porzingis (calf) doubtful to return
    Kristaps Porzingis (right calf tightness) is listed as doubtful to return to Game 4 against Miami on Monday.

    Advice: KP exited the game a little before halftime, and the team is labeling the injury as calf tightness. He isn’t expected to return to this game, though Boston does hold a 17-point lead at halftime. Al Horford should start the second half in his place and see extra minutes until KP returns.

  • Limps to locker room
    Porzingis walked to the locker room during the first half of Monday's Game 4 against the Heat with an apparent lower body injury, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Porzingis came up limping with a few minutes remaining in the second quarter, and he immediately called to the bench for a sub and walked gingerly to the locker room to be evaluated further. Al Horford and Luke Kornet would be in line for larger workloads in the frontcourt if Porzingis is unable to return. Rotowire.com Today, 5:33 pm
     
  • True game-time call for Game 5
    Murray (calf) is still listed as questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

    Advice: Murray will attempt to go through his pregame routine before a decision on his availability is made. "Sometimes I have to be the adult in the room," said head coach Michael Malone. "We'll see how he feels during his pregame routine." Malone went on to state that the team needs to be responsible and take the "bigger picture" approach. If Murray can help the team win and not put himself at risk of a more significant injury, playing will be on the table, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette. Rotowire.com Today, 5:26 pm
