  • Available for Game 4
    Anderson (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the Suns.

    Advice: Anderson carried a questionable tag into Game 4, but he will officially be available. Anderson has seen limited action this postseason, so he doesn't figure to have much fantasy appeal in most formats. Rotowire.com Today, 5:36 pm
     
  • Grayson Allen (ankle) sidelined Sunday vs. MIN
    Grayson Allen will be sidelined for Sunday’s matchup with the Timberwolves on Sunday.

    Advice: Allen’s absence comes with particularly poor timing, as the Suns are in danger of being swept in Game 4 after falling behind 3-0 in the first-round series against the Wolves. Royce O’Neale and Eric Gordon should see extra minutes with Allen sidelined. Rotoworld Today, 5:05 pm
     
  • Unavailable for Game 4
    Allen (ankle) is out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Advice: Allen was unable to play Friday due to a right ankle sprain that will hold him out again Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale should continue to see expanded roles in Allen's absence. Rotowire.com Today, 4:53 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Monday
    Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Reddish will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return if the Lakers stage a dramatic comeback in their first-round series. Rotowire.com Today, 4:48 pm
     
  • Probable for Game 5
    James (ankle) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: James continues to deal with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy ahead of Game 5, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again. Over the first four matchups in the series, he's averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 40.0 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Today, 4:45 pm
     
  • Derrick Jones Jr. posts 14/7/1/1/1 line in Game 4
    Derrick Jones Jr. shot 6-of-9 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Sunday’s loss to the Clippers, accounting for 14 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

    Advice: Jones was one of four Mavericks starters to reach double figures in Game 4, which the Mavericks trailed by as much as 31 before rallying during the second half. Since going scoreless in Game 1, Airplane Mode has made at least 50% of his shots in three consecutive games. While the 2-of-3 afternoon from beyond the arc in Game 4 was a departure from the norm for Jones, this was an encouraging sight, as the Mavericks need others to step up in assistance of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Jones will look to build on this performance in Game 5 on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Today, 4:09 pm
     
  • Malik Beasley to start Game 4 for injured Lillard
    Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley, Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez will start Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: The Bucks are without Damian Lillard (Achilles) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), with the former aggravating a previous injury during the Game 3 overtime loss. Beasley moves into the starting lineup, with Portis continuing to fill in for Giannis. Rotoworld Today, 3:39 pm
     
  • Joins starting lineup
    Beasley is starting Sunday's Game 4 against Indiana.

    Advice: Beasley came off the bench in the first three games of the Bucks' first-round series and averaged 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game. He'll join the starting lineup Sunday since Damian Lillard (Achilles) has been ruled out. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 pm
     
  • Officially available for Game 4
    Middleton (ankle) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Middleton was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup and will officially be available once again. The 32-year-old had a dominant effort during Friday's overtime loss, tallying 42 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 41 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 3:32 pm
