  • Good to go Friday
    Dosunmu (quad) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Despite missing the final four games of the regular season, Dosunmu played 41 minutes in Wednesday's Play-In victory over Atlanta, putting up 19 points, three assists, two blocks and a rebound. After playing over 40 minutes Wednesday, the Bulls are not expected to limit the 24-year-old's minutes, especially in a win-or-go-home scenario. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Officially cleared to play
    Caruso (ankle) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Miami.

    Advice: There was initial concern regarding the severity of Caruso's ankle injury that he suffered Wednesday against Atlanta, but he was examined further Thursday, which showed reduced swelling. He said Friday morning that he expected to play against the Heat, and he's officially been cleared to suit up in the win-or-go-home matchup. Over his six appearances this month, he's averaged 8.8 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 32.3 minutes per game. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Available Friday
    Drummond (ankle) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Drummond missed the final three games of the regular season with a left ankle sprain but returned to action for Wednesday's victory over Atlanta, putting up four points, four rebounds, three blocks and a steal in 11 minutes. In a win-or-go-home scenario, the Bulls may limit Drummond's playing time again, especially if Nikola Vucevic stays out of foul trouble. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Dereck Lively (knee) probable Sunday vs. Clippers
    Dereck Lively (right knee sprain) is listed as probable for the Mavericks’ Sunday matchup against the Clippers.

    Advice: Lively missed the Mavericks’ last eight games in the regular season but could return to the rotation on Sunday. The rookie big man has been trending in the right direction and has a good chance to make his playoff debut over the weekend. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Officially available for Friday
    Robinson (back) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Chicago, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Robinson was probable for Friday's matchup, so his availability isn't very surprising. However, he was also available for Wednesday's postseason matchup against the 76ers but didn't see any playing time. Even if he sees some minutes in Jimmy Butler's (knee) absence, it seems unlikely that Robinson will play a significant role. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Joel Embid (knee) questionable Saturday vs. Knicks
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is listed as questionable for the 76ers’ Saturday meeting with the Knicks.

    Advice: Embiid scored a team-high 23 points to help Philly secure its spot in the playoffs and is back on the injury report ahead of the weekend. The 76ers star will do everything he can to suit up for Game 1 of the first round. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Sam Merrill (neck) active Saturday vs. Magic
    Sam Merrill (neck strain) is listed as active ahead of the Cavaliers’ Saturday matchup with the Magic.

    Advice: Merrill is set to play against the Magic on Friday after missing his team’s last three regular-season games. How he’ll fit into the rotation off the bench after a string of poor performances remains to be seen. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
     
  • Caris LeVert (knee) active Saturday vs. Magic
    Caris LeVert (left knee soreness) is listed as active for the Cavaliers’ Saturday contest against the Magic.

    Advice: LeVert is poised to return to action against Orlando on Saturday after missing his team’s regular-season finale. The Cleveland guard should serve his usual role off the bench with Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell healthy. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
     
  • Donovan Mitchell (knee) active Saturday vs. Magic
    Alex Caruso (left knee injury management) is listed as active for the Cavaliers’ Saturday matchup with the magic.

    Advice: Mitchell sat with his backcourt partner Darius Garland in Cleveland’s regular-season finally, but the duo will be back in business against Orlando on Saturday. The Cavaliers guards should handle a full workload in Game 1. Rotoworld Today, 1:31 pm
