  • Luke Kornet (wrist) questionable for Game 4 Monday
    Luke Kornet (left wrist sprain) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: After injuring his wrist during Game 2, Kornet did not play in Game 3 on Saturday. Xavier Tillman and Oshae Brissett played 13 and nine minutes, respectively, not enough playing time to impact DFS tournaments. If Kornet is cleared, look for one (if not both) of them to fall out of the rotation. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Jrue Holiday (illness) questionable for Game 4
    Jrue Holiday (non-COVID illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Holiday was also questionable for Game 3 before being cleared to play. And he was highly impactful in the Celtics’ comeback victory, making decisive plays on both ends of the floor in the final minute. Look for Holiday to be a game-time decision for Game 4, and it would be surprising if he does not play. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Kristaps Porzingis (calf) out for Game 4 Monday
    Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) is out for Monday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: While it was reported before the series that Porzingis could return as soon as Game 4, he will not be available on Monday. The combination of Boston leading the series 3-0 and Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton dealing with a hamstring injury likely bought Porzingis added time to recover. The NBA Finals will not start until June 6, so the Celtics taking care of business on Monday would buy KP additional time to get healthy. Al Horford will remain in the starting lineup.

  • Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) questionable Monday
    Tyrese Haliburton (left hamstring soreness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Despite sitting in a 0-3 hole, the Pacers will continue to exercise caution regarding Haliburton’s hamstring. This is the same hamstring he injured in January, and it took the All-NBA guard some time to get back to full strength after making a hasty return to action. Ben Sheppard started Game 3 but went scoreless, shooting 0-of-4 from the field. While the rookie could remain in that role if Haliburton cannot play on Monday, T.J. McConnell and current starter Andrew Nembhard are the guards DFS players should target. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Game 4
    Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics on Monday.

    Advice: Haliburton missed Saturday's Game 3, and the Pacers narrowly lost to Boston. Indiana will attempt to keep its season alive Monday, but it's unclear whether Haliburton will be able to suit up due to his left hamstring injury that he sustained in Game 2 on Thursday. If Haliburton is unavailable Monday, T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard remain candidates to see increased roles. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
     
  • Deemed questionable
    Holiday is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Pacers,Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Holiday was a late addition to the Celtics' injury report for Game 3 due to sickness but ended up playing 38 minutes in the win. Considering Boston could clinch a spot in the Finals with a win, Holiday should be expected to play through the illness -- assuming his condition hasn't worsened. The veteran point guard is averaging 19.0 points, 7.0 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game during the series. Rotowire.com Today, 2:18 pm
     
  • Questionable for Monday
    Kornet (wrist) is questionable for Monday's Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 against the Pacers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Kornet suffered a sprained left wrist early in Game 2 against Indiana and carried a doubtful tag prior to Game 3, before being officially held out. The questionable tag is a slight upgrade, but with the Celtics up 3-0 there is no indication they will risk further injury to the 28-year-old before a potential finals series. If Kornet is unable to go, Oshae Brissett will likely serve as the backup center. Rotowire.com Today, 2:18 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Game 4
    Porzingis (calf) has been ruled out for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers on Monday, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Porzingis was initially targeting a return to action for Game 4, but he'll remain sidelined with the Celtics holding a 3-0 lead in the series. If the Pacers win Game 4, it's unclear whether Porzingis will be able to return later in the Eastern Conference Finals or if he'll be available for a potential trip to the NBA Finals.

  • Strong double-double in loss
    Turner racked up 22 points (9-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 39 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Advice: Turner was one of the players who needed to step up offensively in Game 3, and he delivered another solid stat line, but the Pacers crumbled down the stretch and had to settle with another loss. Turner posted his second double-double of the series, and he's 15-plus points in all but one of his last six playoff contests. Rotowire.com Today, 9:46 am
