    • MIN starting NAW, Edwards, Jaden, Towns, Gobert
      Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert will start Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: The Timberwolves are without Mike Conley, who injured his right Achilles tendon on the final play of Sunday’s Game 4 defeat. Alexander-Walker moves into the starting lineup, which also means even more opportunities for Edwards to serve as the primary playmaker. Jordan McLaughlin and Monte Morris could enter the rotation, as Minnesota will need them to help navigate Conley’s absence. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
       
    • Gets starting nod
      Alexander-Walker is in the starting five for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Alexander-Walker will replace Mike Conley (Achilles) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Alexander-Walker is averaging 11.5 points, 3.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.3 minutes across his previous 10 starting appearances this season. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
       
    • Ruled out for Game 5
      Conley (Achilles) won't play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Conley has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to right Achilles soreness. In his absence, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Monte Morris will likely receive increased playing time. Conley's next chance to suit up is Game 6 on Thursday. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
       
    • Shams: Mike Conley (Achilles) ruled out Tuesday
      According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Mike Conley (right Achilles soreness) is out for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: While Conley wasn’t added to the injury report until Tuesday afternoon, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said his point guard was injured on the final play of Sunday’s Game 4 defeat. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker being the most likely candidate to fill it. While Jordan McLaughlin and Monte Morris are traditional point guards, neither defends as well as NAW. Conley’s absence also means even more playmaking opportunities for Anthony Edwards, which could boost his points and assist overs. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
       
    • Available for Tuesday
      Murray (calf) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against Minnesota.

      Advice: Questionable tags have been par for the course for Murray in this series, but he continues to push through his calf strain. He's not expected to have any restrictions Tuesday evening. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
       
    • Jamal Murray (calf) available for Game 5 Tuesday
      Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is available for Tuesday’s game against Minnesota.

      Advice: While considered questionable on the initial injury report, the expectation was that Murray would play. He’s officially available for Game 5, with the Nuggets having regained home-court advantage after winning Games 3 and 4 in Minneapolis. Denver will stick with its regular starting lineup; Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic complete the quintet. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
       
    • Likely out for remainder of series
      Anunoby (hamstring) is targeting a return for the Eastern Conference Finals, per Chris Haynes on TNT's NBA Tip-Off broadcast.

      Advice: Anunoby is already set to miss his third straight game Tuesday due to a left hamstring strain and now appears likely to miss the remainder of the series against Indiana. If the Knicks are able to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, Anunoby should reclaim his starting spot. However, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa will likely continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Rotowire.com Today, 5:34 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) available Tuesday
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, sacral contusion, right ankle sprain) is available for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Knicks.

      Advice: As expected, Haliburton is available for Game 5. The Pacers will stick with their preferred starting five, as Haliburton is joined by Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. The series is tied at 2-all. Rotoworld Today, 4:40 pm
       
    • NYK starting Brunson, Deuce, Donte, Hart, iHart
      Jalen Brunson, Miles McBride, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart, and Isaiah Hartenstein will start Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Pacers.

      Advice: After starting Precious Achiuwa for the injured OG Anunoby in Games 3 and 4, Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau is going with Deuce McBride for Game 5. While the Knicks will be smaller, sparking some concerns about how they’ll defend Pascal Siakam, they’re better offensively with McBride in the lineup. In addition to his shooting ability, he can help bring the ball up with the Pacers pressuring Brunson for 94 feet. Rotoworld Today, 4:38 pm
