  • 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 23 minutes ago
     
  • Jericho Sims (shoulder) probable Tuesday vs. 76ers
    Jericho Sims (right shoulder inflammation) is listed as probable for Tuesday’s Knicks-76ers game.

  • 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 29 minutes ago
     
  • Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) out Tuesday vs. 76ers
    Bojan Bogdanovic (left ankle contusion) has been ruled out for the Knicks’ Tuesday contest against the 76ers.

    Advice: Nic Batum fell on Bogdanovic’s ankle early in Game 4 of the Knicks-76ers series. Now the former Pistons wing is set to miss Game 5. Miles McBride will likely get more minutes in the aftermath of this development. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Likely to play in Game 5
    Sims is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers due to right shoulder inflammation.

    Advice: Sims hasn't appeared in the first four games of the Knicks' first-round series, but he's dealing with a shoulder issue ahead of Game 5. While he'll likely be able to suit up, Sims is unlikely to see much playing time, even if Mitchell Robinson (ankle) misses another contest. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Out for Game 5
    Bogdanovic (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bogdanovic has been playing through ligament damage in his left wrist during the opening-round series, but he suffered a left foot contusion in his first stint on the court during New York's Game 4 win and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. In Bogdanovic's absence, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa are candidates for a few extra minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 2:28 pm
     
  • Plays well in Game 4 loss
    Durant supplied 33 points (12-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 46 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: With the Suns dropping Game 4, they were swept by the Timberwolves and will fall short of their hefty expectations. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Durant had "persistent issues" with the offense and felt as if he was relegated to the corner too often. It will be an interesting offseason for Phoenix, to put it mildly. Durant finished the regular season with averages of 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 blocks, 0.9 steals and 2.2 three-pointers. Rotowire.com Today, 8:08 am

    Advice: Alexander-Walker wasn't able to get much going offensively, but coach Chris Finch still trusted him with a significant workload. That's been the case for the entire series, as Alexander-Walker averaged 12.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes per game as the Timberwolves completed their sweep of the Suns.
