  • 89-85-6 7th Place
    • 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 54 minutes ago
       
    • 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
       
    • Heads to bench
      Achiuwa isn't in the starting lineup in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Achiuwa will be replaced by Miles McBride in the starting five Tuesday. Achiuwa is averaging 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench. Rotowire.com Today, 4:38 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
       
    • Enters starting lineup
      McBride will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.

      Advice: The Knicks have dropped two games in a row and the series is tied, so they will shake things up by going smaller. With McBride starting, Precious Achiuwa will head to the bench. McBride was terrific in Sunday's Game 4, scoring 16 points with five rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 4:37 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 5
      Haliburton (back/ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with lower back spasms, a sacral contusion, and a right ankle sprain. The star guard has been scorching the nets from the outside against New York, as he is converting 45.2 percent of his 10.5 three-point attempts per contest over the first four games of the series.

    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) progresses to on-court work
      Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said before Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Pacers that OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) has progressed to doing some on-court rehab work.

      Advice: Injured during the third quarter of the Knicks’ Game 2 victory, Anunoby has not played since. He was already ruled out for Game 5, and the progression to on-court work is progress. However, he still is not a full go, so it appears to be a long shot that Anunoby will be available for Game 6 on Thursday. Precious Achiuwa will remain in the starting lineup, with Miles McBride playing additional minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 3:42 pm
       
    • Out for Game 5
      Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Thunder.

      Advice: Prosper has missed ten straight games with a sprained left ankle. HIs next chance to suit up will be Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:40 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) probable for Game 5 Wed.
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is probable for Wednesday’s game against Oklahoma City.

      Advice: Doncic remains on the injury report ahead of Wednesday’s crucial Game 5 but is listed as probable instead of questionable. He’ll be on the court; the question is how effective the Mavericks point guard will be. He’s looked frustrated during this series, and not being fully healthy doesn’t help matters. While Doncic recorded a triple-double in Monday’s Game 4 defeat, he shot 6-of-20 from the field and committed seven turnovers. Rotoworld Today, 3:39 pm
