    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) ruled out for Game 5 vs. Mavs
      Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) will remain sidelined for Game 5 against Dallas on Wednesday.

      Advice: Unsurprisingly, Leonard has been ruled out for Game 5, though the situation isn’t as bleak as many expected. The Clippers have won the two games that he hasn’t played in, and they were able to reclaim home court advantage in Game 4. They won’t force Kawhi back out on the court if he isn’t 100%, which means that Amir Coffey should remain in the starting unit. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:04 pm
       
    • Confirmed out for Game 5
      Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Leonard (knee) will not play in Game 5 versus the Mavericks on Wednesday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

      Advice: Lue made this announcement shortly after saying Leonard wouldn't be doing anything at all during Tuesday's practice. Leonard clearly didn't have much mobility in Games 2 and 3, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Based on previous reports, the Clippers will need to see Leonard's knee inflammation improve before giving him the green light. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:00 am
       
    • Won't practice Tuesday
      Coach Tyronn Lue said Leonard (knee) will not do anything at practice Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

      Advice: After sitting out Game 1 due to inflammation in his right knee, Leonard played in Games 2 and 3, but he looked like a shell of himself with limited mobility. Leonard was held out of Game 4 on Sunday, and it would be a big surprise if he could play Wednesday based on how the forward is trending. If Leonard is indeed held out, Amir Coffey would be a candidate to see an increased role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 am
       
    • Modest production again
      Holiday chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 102-88 win over the Heat in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Holiday continues to put up mediocre stats, something that has been a trend all season long. He has had to take a back seat since arriving in Boston, especially on the offensive end. With that said, the Celtics recently signed him to a sizeable contract extension, highlighting just how important he is to the team despite the lack of tangible numbers.

    • Catches fire in win
      White produced 38 points (15-26 FG, 8-15 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 41 minutes during Monday's 102-88 victory over Miami in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: White dominated both ends of the floor, guiding the Celtics to victory in Game 3 against the Heat. He led all players in scoring and blocked shots, demonstrating his versatility. Now leading 3-1, Boston will look to wrap up the series Wednesday in front of their home fans. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:37 pm
       
    • Derrick White drops 38 with 8 triples in Game 4
      Derrick White dominated the Heat and finished with 38 points (15-of-26 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and eight 3-pointers in a 102-88 win in Game 4 on Monday.

      Advice: Boston came into Miami and took care of business, with White leading the way in this game. He entered halftime with 22 points and six 3-pointers and added 11 more points in the third quarter. The Game 2 loss seems to have been a wakeup call for the top-seeded Celtics, though White didn’t really turn things up until this game. They’ll head back to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday, where they will look to close out the series and advance to the second round. They’ll need more performances like this from White, which is something that he has done all season. Rotoworld Monday, 7:19 pm
       
    • Out for Game 4
      Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, Leonard missed the Clippers' Game 1 win, which allowed Amir Coffey to draw a start. The superstar returned for Game 2 and posted 15 points (7-17 FG), seven rebounds and four steals in 35 minutes during the loss. He played only 25 minutes during the Clippers' Game 3 loss and finished with nine points (4-7 FG) and nine rebounds. Clippers president Lawrence Frank said shutting Leonard down for Game 4 was a move the organization made to ensure Leonard's future health, according to Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News. Leonard will continue to be evaluated on a game-by-game basis, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ended up missing the rest of the first-round series. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:54 am
       
    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) out Sunday, maybe longer
      Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) will not play in Sunday’s game 4 against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank announced on Sunday afternoon that Leonard will not play, despite the star forward’s desire to do so. It was reported after Game 3 that Leonard’s knee did not respond as hoped, casting doubt on his status for Sunday. The question now is when he will return, with Frank saying Leonard will not play until he can do all he needs to do on the court from a mobility standpoint. Amir Coffey started Game 1 and could return to the lineup, despite the Clippers facing a potential 3-1 deficit. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:53 am
       
    • Will be questionable for Game 4
      Leonard (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks, head coach Tyronn Lue told Joey Linn of SI.com.

      Advice: Leonard logged 25 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, finishing with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists, but he didn't look as fluid in his movements as he did in Game 2, when he was able to play 35 minutes while registering 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. His official status will be determined closer to Sunday's 3.30 p.m. ET tipoff, but if he's ruled out, Terance Mann and Amir Coffey would be in line to pick up extra minutes.
