  • 65-113-2 9th Place
    • Likely out multiple games
      Porzingis (calf) is expected to miss a minimum of several games, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Porzingis has already been ruled out for Game 5 against Miami on Wednesday due to a right soleus strain, but it now appears that he will be headed toward an extended absence. It seems unlikely that Porzingis will return to action for the remainder of Boston's first-round series and could be kept out longer if the team continues to advance in the playoffs. With the 28-year-old big man sidelined, Al Horford should slide into the starting lineup, with Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman competing for bench minutes. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:37 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis (calf) out for Game 5 Wednesday
      Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

      Advice: The good news is that imaging done on Porzingis’ right leg did not reveal any damage to his Achilles tendon. The bad is that he’s been diagnosed with a strained soleus muscle and will not play in Game 5. The expectation is that Porzingis will miss several games, and the injury is the same as the one that has sidelined Giannis Antetokounmpo. Al Horford will move into the starting lineup, boosting his value in DFS tournaments. Also, Sam Hauser may pick up additional minutes off the bench as the Celtics look to close out the series.

    • Won't play Game 5
      Porzingis (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

      Advice: Porzingis has been diagnosed with a right soleus strain, the same injury that's kept Giannis Antetokounmpo out since April 9. With Boston holding a 3-1 lead, Al Horford will likely slide into the starting lineup in Porzingis' absence for at least the remainder of the opening-round series.

    • Luka Doncic (knee) probable Wednesday vs Clippers
      Luka Doncic (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday’s Mavericks-Clippers meeting.

      Advice: Doncic is likely to play despite the minor knee injury he’s dealing with. He recorded a triple-double and played 45 minutes in his last outing, so there’s no reason to worry about his production. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:31 am
       
    • Expected to play Game 5
      Doncic has a sprained knee and is probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Doncic still put up a triple-double during Sunday's Game 4 loss, but he tweaked his right knee, which has given him problems since Game 3. The MVP candidate is expected to suit up for the critical Game 5 in Los Angeles, but his effectiveness will be something to monitor. Doncic has averaged 29.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists through the first four games of the series, but he's shooting only 38.6 percent from the field, including 27.1 percent from deep.

    • Starts second half
      Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is starting the second half of Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope likely received additional treatment while in the locker room at halftime and will try yet again to give it a go. He suffered a left ankle sprain during the first quarter of Monday's matchup. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:28 pm
       
    • Back to locker room
      Caldwell-Pope walked back to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope suffered a sprained left ankle during the first quarter and didn't appear to be moving well after returning, per Benedetto. It's unclear whether he'll be able to come back for the second half. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:11 pm
       
    • Returns to action
      Caldwell-Pope (ankle) has been cleared to return to Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Caldwell-Pope spent a few minutes on an exercise bike after emerging from the locker room, and he was able to check into the game near the halfway mark of the second quarter. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:49 pm
       
    • Suffers ankle sprain
      Caldwell-Pope has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and is questionable to return to Monday's Game 5 against Los Angeles, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

      Advice: This is positive news for the Nuggets after it appeared Caldwell-Pope wasn't able to put any weight on his left leg immediately after suffering the injury. Christian Braun, Reggie Jackson and Justin Holiday will likely be asked to step up if Caldwell-Pope can't return. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:39 pm
