    • Pascal Siakam scores 14 points in Game 2 loss
      Pascal Siakam shot 7-of-18 from the field and 0-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday’s 130-121 loss to the Knicks, scoring 14 points with nine rebounds, two assists, and one blocked shot in 36 minutes.

      Advice: After shooting 73.2% from the foul line during the regular season, Siakam has been even worse in the playoffs. He missed both attempts in Game 2, falling to 16.7% (1-of-6) for the series. Add in the six games against the Bucks, and Siakam is now 7-of-28 (25%) for the postseason. The Knicks potentially losing OG Anunoby to a hamstring injury will impact how they defend Siakam, with Precious Achiuwa taking on the responsibility down the stretch of Game 2. Regardless of who’s defending Spicy P, he must be much better at the foul line. Rotoworld Today, 8:22 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable for Game 2
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is questionable to play in Game 2 against Boston on Thursday.

      Advice: Allen missed the final three games of round one and the first game of round two, with Isaac Okoro starting in his place for three of his four absences. Okoro should continue to start in Game 2 if Allen remains sidelined, though he will be pushed to a reserve role if Allen is able to suit up. Rotoworld Today, 2:39 pm
       
    • Listed as questionable again
      Allen (ribs) is questionable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Despite a negative in-game report from TNT's broadcast saying Allen wasn't able to do much in recent practices and was having trouble sleeping due to the rib injury, coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after the Game 1 loss that the Cavaliers' starting center is showing signs of progress, per Bobby Manning of the CLNS Media Network. Allen has missed four straight games and was listed as questionable ahead of each contest, so his current status doesn't provide much optimism. Rotowire.com Today, 2:36 pm
       
    • Poor shooting display Tuesday
      Garland had 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Garland is in line for a rough matchup in this series, as he'll have to deal with two excellent defenders in Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, so his Game 1 display is not entirely surprising. He didn't have his best performances in the first-round series against the Magic either, and he's averaging just 14.8 points and 5.4 assists per game through eight playoff appearances. In fact, Garland has failed to surpass the 15-point mark in six of his eight playoff outings, a clear downgrade after averaging 18.0 points per contest during the regular season.

    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) out Tuesday vs. Celtics
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s Cavaliers-Celtics matchup

      Advice: Allen is set to miss a third consecutive contest after suffering a rib injury against Orlando in the first round. Evan Mobley will play more minutes at center while Isaac Okoro, Marcus Morris, and Tristan Thomson get a shot to be a larger part of the frontcourt rotation. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:41 pm
       
    • Won't play Tuesday
      Allen (ribs) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

      Advice: Allen will miss his fourth straight contest Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to a right rib contusion. Isaac Okoro will continue to start in his absence. Allen's next chance to suit up is Game 2 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Pascal Siakam posts 19/6/5/1 line in Game 1 loss
      Pascal Siakam amassed 19 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 36 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Knicks.

      Advice: Siakam has scored 19 points in his last two postseason games, appearing to turn the corner after going quiet in Games 3 through 5 of Indiana’s first-round series with Milwaukee. While all teams deal with injuries to a certain extent this time of year, it’s clear that Tyrese Haliburton’s back is still causing him trouble. As a result, the Pacers will need more production from Siakam and Myles Turner, and they combined to score 42 points in Game 1. Indiana will look to even the series at one game apiece on Wednesday.

    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable for Game 1
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is questionable to play in Game 1 against Boston on Tuesday.

      Advice: Allen missed the final three games of round one, with Isaac Okoro starting twice and Marcus Morris starting once. Okoro started Game 7, so he should start again if Allen is forced to miss the start of this series. Rotoworld Monday, 2:38 pm
       
    • Iffy for Game 1
      Allen (ribs) is questionable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Allen averaged 17.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.8 minutes through the first four games of Cleveland's opening-round series versus the Magic. However, after taking a shot to the ribs from Franz Wagner, the Cavaliers' starting center was sidelined for the final three matchups. Allen was also listed as questionable ahead of all the games he missed, so the tag doesn't provide much optimism heading into the Eastern Conference Semifinals. If Allen gets the green light, he'll look to take advantage of a Boston frontcourt that'll be without Kristaps Porzingis (calf). Rotowire.com Monday, 2:34 pm
