  • Has sore right foot
    Brunson is questionable to return to Wednesday's Game 2 against the Pacers with a sore right foot.

    Advice: Brunson went to the locker room late in the first quarter and stayed there to start the second. The Knicks have given an update on his status, listing him as questionable to return with soreness in his right foot. Miles McBride should man the point guard spot for as long as Brunson is sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:59 pm
     
  • In locker room to start second
    Brunson stayed in the locker room following the first quarter of Wednesday's Game 2 against Indiana for unspecified reasons, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Brunson exited the contest late in the first period and went back to the locker room with an undisclosed injury and didn't return to the bench to start the second quarter. Until clarification is provided, Brunson should be considered questionable to return. Miles McBride should handle most of the point guard duties in Brunson's stead, while Shake Milton could see his first action of the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:50 pm
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) available for Game 2 Wed.
    Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

    Advice: As expected, Haliburton is available and will start Game 2. He only attempted six shots in Game 1, which is way too low for a player of his caliber. Look for Haliburton to be far more involved in the Pacers offense as a scorer, which could cut into his assist tally. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:58 pm
     
  • Cleared for Game 2
    Haliburton (back) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Knicks.

    Advice: Haliburton has been battling back spasms throughout the playoffs, but he'll play through the issue once again Wednesday. However, it's possible the back spasms could impact his effectiveness considering he scored just six points in 36 minutes during Game 1 on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:13 pm
     
  • Won't play in Game 2
    Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Game 2 versus the Celtics on Thursday.

    Advice: Jerome has not logged a single minute this postseason as he continues to recover from ankle surgery, and there aren't any indications that that'll change anytime soon. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:37 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Game 2
    Porter will remain out for Game 2 against the Celtics on Thursday.

    Advice: Porter has yet to suit up for any of the Cavaliers' playoff games thus far, but even if he were active, he wouldn't be included in the rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:36 pm
     
  • Luka Doncic (knee) probable for Game 2 Thursday
    Luka Doncic (right knee sprain) is probable to play in Game 2 against the Thunder on Thursday.

    Advice: Head coach Jason Kidd said that Doncic was able to fully participate in practice, so he should be able to be available once again despite this knee sprain. He’ll look to bounce back after only scoring 19 points in Game 1. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:05 pm
     
  • Practices, probable for Game 2
    Coach Jason Kidd said Doncic (knee) practiced Wednesday and is probable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Thunder, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Doncic continues to play through a right knee sprain but was far from his best in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, as he finished with 19 points (6-19 FG) and five turnovers. The MVP candidate is shooting just 39.5 percent during the postseason but remains productive and is averaging 28.3 points, 9.4 assists, 8.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 42.3 minutes per game.

  • Shines in Game 1 victory
    White registered 25 points (9-16 FG, 7-12 3Pt), one rebound and five assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 victory over Cleveland in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: White embraced a bigger role on offense on a night when Jayson Tatum struggled (7-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), and the former responded by delivering his third consecutive game with 25 or more points. White has taken a step forward due to Kristaps Porzingis (calf) being sidelined, and it'd be fair to consider him Boston's third-best offensive weapon under the current lineup construction. White will aim to keep the streak alive in Game 2 on Thursday, as the Celtics have gone 20-3 this season when he's scored 20 or more points between the regular season and the playoffs.
