  • Good to go for Game 2
    Allen (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Allen has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a right ankle sprain. The 28-year-old guard failed to make a three in Game 1 but shot 46.1 percent on 5.9 three-point attempts per contest during the regular season. Allen won't operate on a minutes restriction.

  • Grayson Allen (ankle) active for Game 2
    Grayson Allen (right ankle) is listed as active for the Suns’ Tuesday matchup with the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Allen appeared on the injury report after four points without a made field goal in Game 1. He’s set to give it another go in Game 2 and will get a chance to make up for his latest poor performance. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Kevin Love (arm) active for Game 2
    Kevin Love (left upper arm contusion) is active for the Heat’s Wednesday matchup with the Celtics.

    Advice: Love isn’t a threat to miss any time after appearing on the injury report following Game 1. The Heat forward has averaged 11,3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and one assist off the bench in his previous three contests. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Officially ruled out
    Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Pacers.

    Advice: As expected, Antetokounmpo has been downgraded from doubtful to out while he continues to recover from a left soleus strain. Without their star player, the Bucks were able to win Game 1 behind a stellar first-half performance from Damian Lillard, affording Antetokounmpo some extra rest, but if Milwaukee drops Game 2 at home, there may be added pressure for the MVP candidate to return Friday, when the series shifts to Indiana for Game 3.

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) ruled out Tuesday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) has been ruled out for the Bucks’ Game 2 matchup against the Pacers on Tuesday.

    Advice: The Bucks’ star forward will miss his second playoff game of the postseason on Tuesday. Bobby Portis will likely continue filling in for him as a starter until his return. Rotoworld Today, 1:34 pm
     
  • Haywood Highsmith (arm) active for Game 2
    Haywood Highsmith (left upper arm contusion) is listed as active for Wednesday’s Game 2 matchup between the Heat and Celtics.

    Advice: Highsmith popped up on the injury report after Game 1 but isn’t at risk to miss any time ahead of Game 2. He’s logged at least 26 minutes in three straight games since the regular season ended but was held scoreless his last time out. Rotoworld Today, 1:31 pm
     
  • Duncan Robinson (back) cleared to play in Game 2
    Duncan Robinson (left facet syndrome) is listed as active for the Heat’s Game 2 matchup against the Celtics on Wednesday.

    Advice: Robinson is set to play in his second straight playoff game. The Heat wing has played twice since notching a DNP against the 76ers in a play-in game and appears likely to continue contributing off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 1:24 pm
     
  • Hopeful to return in postseason
    Williamson (hamstring), who will be re-evaluated in one week, says it is "realistic" he returns in the postseason, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Williamson exited the Pelicans' first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers with a hamstring strain and has not played since. However, Williamson says he is hopeful to eventually make his postseason return, which would likely require a second-round matchup. Despite not having Williamson available for Game 1 against the top-seeded Thunder, the Pelicans kept it close, losing 94-92. How quickly the medical staff clears him may depend on how the remainder of the series plays out. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm
     
  • Present at shootaround
    Leonard (knee) is officially listed as questionable but was present for the Clippers' morning shootaround before Tuesday's Game 2 against the Mavericks, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com

    Advice: Leonard was ruled out for Sunday's Game 1 win, his ninth consecutive absence, but has a chance to return Tuesday. The Clippers will likely decide the veteran's availability closer to the 10 p.m. ET tipoff after seeing how he fares in pregame warmups. If Leonard is ruled out again, expect Terance Mann and Amir Coffey to pick up extra minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 11:02 am
