  • Cracks rotation in blowout loss
    Milton supplied three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Milton saw his first minutes of the postseason, playing the entire fourth quarter of what was an ugly loss. The series is now tied at 2-2, but the Pacers have all the momentum heading back to New York. Assuming Game 5 on Tuesday is tighter, don't expect to see Milton in the rotation.

  • Drops team-high 20 points
    Burks contributed 20 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: With the Pacers jumping out to a huge lead and Jalen Brunson looking less than 100 percent, Burks saw extended playing time and made the most of his opportunity. We know Burks can put up points in a hurry when afforded meaningful playing time. However, with that said, New York fans will be hoping this is not the case in Game 5 on Tuesday, given his outbursts tend to come when the Knicks are on the wrong end of the blowout.

  • Available Sunday
    Caldwell-Pope (abdomen) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Caldwell-Pope was deemed questionable ahead of gametime due to a right abdominal contusion, but he will suit up for Sunday's matchup. Battling through the same injury in Game 3, Caldwell-Pope logged 37 minutes, so he should be in for a full workload Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:22 pm
     
  • Won't play Monday
    Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Prosper has missed nine straight games with a sprained left ankle. His next chance to play will come Wednesday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:53 pm
     
  • Sidelined for Game 4
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter has missed 11 consecutive contests due to a sprained left ankle. Even if healthy, Porter likely wouldn't factor into the rotation. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:51 pm
     
  • Still out
    Jerome (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against Boston.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't suited up since October due to a right ankle injury that required surgery. Even if he were to return at some point during the playoffs, he likely wouldn't be part of the Cavs' rotation. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:49 pm
     
  • Luke Kornet (calf) probable for Game 4 Monday
    Luke Kornet (right calf tightness) is probable for Monday’s game against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Kornet missed some time earlier this postseason with a strained right calf, so his reappearance on the injury report is concerning. However, the probable tag suggests he will be available. If not, Xavier Tillman will play some rotation minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:48 pm
     
  • Nabs probable tag
    Kornet (right calf tightness) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Advice: Kornet sustained a calf strain in late April but has suited up for each of the last six games for Boston. If he were to end up missing Monday's tilt, Xavier Tillman would likely work behind Al Horford at the five. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:08 pm
     
  • Fully healthy
    Phillips (foot) said Sunday that he's completed his rehab and feels 100 percent healthy, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Advice: Phillips missed the Bulls' final 18 games with a right midfoot sprain, but he looks as though he'll be in store for a normal offseason. The rookie second-round pick appeared in 40 games for Chicago in 2023-24, averaging 2.2 points and 0.9 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:53 pm
