  • Won't play Wednesday
    Melton (back/injury recovery) will be unavailable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against Miami.

    Advice: Melton has logged just five appearances since Jan. 12, being unable to return to 100 percent after initially dealing with a lumbar stress reaction in his spine. Subsequent attempts to return to action have been short-lived, and his absence from Philadelphia's rotation is a notable loss defensively. Win or lose Wednesday, Philadelphia will have another postseason contest in store, but Melton's outlook is currently bleak. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Terry Rozier (neck) out Wednesday vs. Philadelphia
    Terry Rozier (neck spasms) is out for Wednesday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: After missing Miami’s final four regular-season games, Rozier will also miss the 7/8 Play-In tournament matchup with Philadelphia. The “good” news for the Heat is that Tyler Herro is back, and he filled the void in the starting lineup left by Rozier. Look for Caleb Martin to remain in the starting lineup, which boosts his DFS value. Rotoworld Today, 12:34 pm
     
  • Won't play Wednesday
    Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: Rozier missed the final four games of the regular season due to neck spasms and will remain sidelined for the beginning of postseason play. Caleb Martin has been starting at shooting guard recently, but Duncan Robinson (back) is expected to be available following a four-game absence of his own, so it's unclear who'll share the backcourt with Tyler Herro.

  • Doesn't practice Tuesday
    Rozier (neck) didn't practice Tuesday, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reports.

    Advice: Rozier missed the final four games of the regular season due to neck spasms and still isn't practicing ahead of Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported Monday that Rozier was getting more tests done on his neck, but the Heat have been cautiously optimistic about the shooting guard's availability. Duncan Robinson (back) and Kevin Love (arm) were both limited during Tuesday's practice. Rotowire.com Today, 10:10 am
     
  • Misses another practice Tuesday
    Melton (back) missed the duration of Tuesday's practice, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

    Advice: Melton also missed Monday's practice, putting his status for Wednesday's game versus Miami in real jeopardy. There should be more clarity on Melton's status when the 76ers release their injury report Tuesday evening. Rotowire.com Today, 9:41 am
     
  • Removed from injury report
    Curry (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against Sacramento.

    Advice: Curry and Draymond Green (knee) have both been cleared for action Tuesday, leaving Gary Payton (calf) as the Warriors' lone absence. Golden State will be traveling to Sacramento for Tuesday's showdown, returning to the scene of the crime where Curry dropped 50 points (20-38 FG, 7-18 3Pt) in a victorious Game 7 of last year's first-round series between these teams. Additionally, Curry averaged 31.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in four games against the Kings this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:50 pm
     
  • Gary Payton II (calf) out Tuesday vs. Kings
    Gary Payton II (left calf strain) has been ruled out for the Warriors’ Tuesday play-in matchup against the Kings.

    Advice: GP2 missed the Dubs’ last three regular-season games and is now set to miss their play-in game against Sacramento. Chris Paul and Brandon Podziemski have a chance to play larger roles during his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:47 pm
     
  • Expected to play Tuesday
    Coach Steve Kerr said Monday that Curry (ankle) is expected to play in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Kings, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Curry sat out Sunday's regular-season finale due to what was deemed a right ankle sprain, but it seemed as though his absence was mainly for rest purposes ahead of the postseason. The 36-year-old will presumably be back in action once the Play-In Tournament gets underway, and he's averaged 26.0 points, 7.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds in 33.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances.

  • Out for Play-In Tournament
    Payton (calf) has been ruled out for the Play-In Tournament, which starts Tuesday in Sacramento, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: If the Warriors beat the Kings on Tuesday, they'd play the loser of a Pelicans-Lakers matchup, but Payton won't be able to play in that game if Golden State advances. The defensive-minded guard missed the final three regular-season contests due to a left calf strain, and his missing bench minutes will likely be absorbed by Brandin Podziemski, Chris Paul and maybe Moses Moody.
