  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable Thursday
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Pacers-Bucks matchup.

    Advice: Haliburton struggled in Game 5 after popping up on the injury report with the same back issue but still led his team with 16 points. Whether the ailment will affect him in Game 6 remains to be seen. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) doubtful Thursday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is listed as doubtful for the Bucks’ Game 6 matchup against the Pacers on Thursday.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo isn’t likely to make his 2024 playoff debut in Game 6. The Bucks star appears set to watch his team try to compete without him after pulling off an impressive Game 5 upset. Bobby Portis will likely continue starting in his place. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Probable for Game 6
    Beverley (oblique) is probable for Thursday's Game 6 against Indiana.

    Advice: Beverley is dealing with an oblique injury once again, but he played through the issue in Tuesday's Game 5 and tallied 13 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 36 minutes. Damian Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup, so if Beverley is available, he'll likely have plenty of chances to contribute. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Considered probable
    Middleton (ankle) is probable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Middleton sprained his right ankle in Game 2 but continues to play through the pain and will likely do so again Thursday. Over the last three matchups, Middleton has carried the Bucks, averaging 32.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 40.3 minutes per game. With Damian Lillard (calf) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) both doubtful, Middleton should be in store for a hefty workload during Game 6. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Thursday's game
    Haliburton (back) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against Milwaukee.

    Advice: Haliburton has also been on the injury report ahead of the last two matchups but suited up and averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 33.0 minutes per game over those appearances. If he's available again Thursday as the Pacers attempt to clinch the series, he'll likely be able to handle a sizable workload. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Listed as doubtful again
    Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Lillard is listed as doubtful for a third straight matchup after aggravating a right Achilles injury during Game 3. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful, so Bobby Portis and Malik Beasley should remain in the starting lineup. The Bucks had a valiant effort in Game 5 at home to extend the series, led by Portis and Khris Middleton (ankle), but they still need to win back-to-back games to advance to the second round.

  • Doubtful for Game 6
    Antetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Although the Bucks managed to keep their season alive Tuesday, they'll likely have to play without Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard (Achilles) once again as the series shifts back to Indiana on Thursday. Assuming he's unavailable for Game 6, it's unclear whether Antetokounmpo will be in the mix to return for a potential Game 7. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Jericho Sims (shoulder) active Thursday vs. 76ers
    Jericho Sims (right shoulder inflammation) is listed as active for the Knicks’ Thursday matchup against the 76ers.

    Advice: Sims hasn’t played in the playoffs yet and isn’t likely to be a factor in Game 6. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
     
  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable Thursday
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Knicks-76ers game.

    Advice: Mitchell Robinson is on the injury report after his defensive masterclass in Game 5. The Knicks big man amassed three steals and two blocks. It appears like he could split New York’s center minutes down the middle with Isaiah Hartenstein if he’s healthy for Game 6. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
