  • 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 27 minutes ago
     
  • Pascal Siakam scores 14 points in Game 4 blowout
    Pascal Siakam shot 7-of-9 from the field in Sunday’s 121-89 win over the Knicks, scoring 14 points with four rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes.

    Advice: Siakam’s stat line was modest, but this was due to the nature of Game 4 more than anything else. With the Pacers leading 34-14 after the first quarter, Rick Carlisle had little reason to push his starters on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Spicy P only played 22 minutes and did not have much trouble getting to his spots when on the floor. With OG Anunoby unlikely to be available for Game 5 on Tuesday, dealing with Siakam is another issue for the Knicks. Indiana’s win on Sunday tied the series at two games each.

  • Josh Hart limited to 24 minutes in Game 4 loss
    Josh Hart shot 1-of-6 from the field in Sunday’s loss to the Pacers, accounting for two points, three rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes.

    Advice: Like many of the Knicks’ available rotation players, Hart appeared to be running on empty in Game 4. He was subbed out far earlier than usual (if he sits at all), and the nature of Sunday’s game led to Hart only playing 24 minutes. The 121-89 loss was a “burn the tape” game for New York, with the additional rest for Hart and the other mainstays in the rotation being the lone positive. The series is tied at two games apiece, with Game 5 set for Tuesday night. Rotoworld Today, 3:08 pm
     
  • Donte DiVincenzo goes cold, scores seven points
    Donte DiVincenzo played 32 minutes in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Pacers, tallying seven points (3-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer.

    Advice: After catching fire in the Knicks’ Game 3 loss on Friday, DiVincenzo could not find his groove in Game 4. And that was the case for the team as a whole, as New York was outscored by a 34-14 margin in the first quarter and never got back into the game. DiVincenzo was subbed out late in the third quarter as the last starter to exit Sunday’s loss. The Knicks host Game 5 on Tuesday, with the series tied at two. Given how shorthanded New York is, their hope has to be that the extra time on the bench in Game 4 will give their stars a boost. Rotoworld Today, 2:58 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 Today, 2:53 pm
     
  • Fully healthy
    Phillips (foot) said Sunday that he's completed his rehab and feels 100 percent, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Advice: Phillips missed the Bulls' final 18 games with a right midfoot sprain, but he seems to be fully recovered. Phillips appeared in 40 games for Chicago as a rookie, averaging 2.2 points over 8.1 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 12:53 pm
     
  • Julian Phillips (foot) has finished rehab process
    Julian Phillips (right foot sprain) said at Sunday’s NBA Draft lottery that he has completed his rehabilitation process and is working out as he normally would.

    Advice: Phillips, the 35th overall pick in last summer’s draft, sprained his foot in mid-March and missed the remainder of his rookie campaign. The fact that he’s back to full strength at this point in Chicago’s offseason is good news for the Bulls, who should be able to evaluate Phillips even more in Summer League action this summer. His fantasy potential depends on what the Bulls do this offseason, with DeMar DeRozan being an unrestricted free agent. Rotoworld Today, 12:52 pm
     
  • Not running yet
    Anunoby (hamstring) hasn't started running yet, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reported Sunday.

    Advice: Coach Tom Thibodeau said Sunday that Anunoby had been doing "pool work" and hasn't started running yet as he rehabs a left hamstring injury he sustained in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. It seems as though Anunoby has a ways to go before returning to the hardwood, putting his status for the rest of the series in serious jeopardy. Rotowire.com Today, 11:16 am
     
  • Aaron Nesmith (shoulder) available for Game 4 Sun.
    Aaron Nesmith (right shoulder soreness) is available for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

    Advice: Nesmith is available after tweaking his shoulder during the second half of Friday’s Game 3 victory. The Pacers had some success using him as Jalen Brunson’s primary defender, so look for that to be Nesmith’s assignment on Sunday afternoon. The Pacers need a win to even the series at two games apiece. Rotoworld Today, 11:01 am
