  • Probable for Game 5
    Middleton is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Middleton sprained his right ankle in Game 2 but will likely continue to play through the pain. He totaled 67 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists over the last two matchups -- both losses -- and should continue to lead the Bucks' offense in Game 5, as Damian Lillard (Achilles) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) are listed as doubtful for Tuesday.

  • Considered questionable for Game 5
    Haliburton is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Bucks due to back spasms, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Haliburton was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 4 win due to the back issue, but he was cleared and scored 24 points (8-16), his most this postseason. Across four games against Milwaukee, the All-Star has averged 15.8 points, 10.0 assists and 6.3 rebounds in 38.3 minutes per night. If Haliburton is sidelined or limited, T.J. McConnell would likely see increased playing time. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Damian Lillard (Achilles) doubtful Tuesday
    Damian Lillard (right Achilles tendinitis) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s Bucks-Pacers game.

    Advice: Lillard missed Game 4 after fighting through his Achilles injury in Game 3. However, the Bucks point guard is on track to miss a second consecutive game. Malik Beasley will likely slide into the starting backcourt if Lillard is ruled out again. Rotoworld Today, 3:14 pm
     
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) doubtful Tuesday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is listed as doubtful for the Bucks’ Tuesday matchup with the Pacers.

    Advice: The Greek Freak appears set to miss a fifth straight playoff game on Tuesday. He’s struggled to bounce back from the calf injury he suffered down the home stretch in the regular season. Bobby Portis will likely continue to fill in for him as a starter in Game 5. Rotoworld Today, 3:10 pm
     
  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) out Tuesday vs. Magic
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is listed as out for Tuesday’s Cavaliers-Magic matchup.

    Advice: Porter still hasn’t recovered from the ankle injury he suffered at the end of the regular season. He’s set to miss his fifth consecutive playoff game on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 3:07 pm
     
  • Status in doubt for Game 5
    Lillard's (Achilles) status for Game 5 against the Pacers on Tuesday is in doubt, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Lillard has been playing through right Achilles soreness but aggravated the issue during Game 3 and was ruled out for Game 4 after being diagnosed with a strained tendon. Charania also said Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) isn't close to returning, so the Bucks may be without their top two weapons for a second straight game. Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis would likely remain in the starting lineup if Lillard and Antetokounmpo are out again, but Andre Jackson could also be a candidate for more minutes. Lillard's official status for the potential elimination game should be released Monday night. Rotowire.com Today, 3:06 pm
     
  • Jericho Sims (shoulder) probable Tuesday vs. 76ers
    Jericho Sims (right shoulder inflammation) is listed as probable for Tuesday’s Knicks-76ers game.

    Advice: Sims hasn’t played in a playoff game yet this year and isn’t likely to be part of the rotation on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 3:04 pm
     
  • Status in doubt for Game 5
    There is doubt that Antetokounmpo (calf) will be able to suit up for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Coach Doc Rivers provided an encouraging update regarding Antetokounmpo on Sunday morning, saying that there was a chance the forward plays in the first-round series after working out by shooting and running with no resistance, per Jamal Collier of ESPN.com. However, Antetokounmpo's status is very much in question for Tuesday's matchup as the Bucks return home and hope to avoid elimination. Rotowire.com Today, 3:04 pm
     
  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable Tuesday
    Michell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s Game 5 matchup between the Knicks and 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson went through a pregame routine before being ruled out for Game 4 and it appears like he’ll try his best to return to the hardwood for Game 5. Precious Achiuwa will continue to fill in as New York’s backup center if Robinson needs more time to recover. Rotoworld Today, 2:58 pm
