  • Picks up hip injury in Game 4
    Jaquez suffered a hip injury during Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. He finished with nine points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocks in 22 minutes.

    Advice: Jaquez went to the locker room during the first half to be evaluated and quickly returned to the game, but he was ultimately held out of the fourth quarter due to tightness.

  • Derrick White drops 38 with 8 triples in Game 4
    Derrick White dominated the Heat and finished with 38 points (15-of-26 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and eight 3-pointers in a 102-88 win in Game 4 on Monday.

    Advice: Boston came into Miami and took care of business, with White leading the way in this game. He entered halftime with 22 points and six 3-pointers and added 11 more points in the third quarter. The Game 2 loss seems to have been a wakeup call for the top-seeded Celtics, though White didn’t really turn things up until this game. They’ll head back to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday, where they will look to close out the series and advance to the second round. They’ll need more performances like this from White, which is something that he has done all season. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Set to play in Game 5
    Murray (calf) will play in Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.

    Advice: Murray was spotted going through a brief, five-minute workout before the game with a wrap on his injured calf, and he's since been cleared to suit up. He's put up 20 or more points in the first four games of the series but is knocking down only 20.8 percent of his tries from three over this stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 pm

  • Good to go for Game 5

    Advice: Jackson has been dealing with a minor ankle issue leading up to Monday's matchup, but he won't be forced to miss any action. His role figures to be limited again with Jamal Murray (calf) also being upgraded to available. Rotowire.com Today, 6:18 pm
     
  • True game-time call for Game 5
    Murray (calf) is still listed as questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

    Advice: Murray will attempt to go through his pregame routine before a decision on his availability is made. "Sometimes I have to be the adult in the room," said head coach Michael Malone. "We'll see how he feels during his pregame routine." Malone went on to state that the team needs to be responsible and take the "bigger picture" approach. If Murray can help the team win and not put himself at risk of a more significant injury, playing will be on the table, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette. Rotowire.com Today, 5:26 pm
     
  • Patrick Beverley (oblique) probable Tuesday
    Patrick Beverley (right oblique muscle strain) is listed as probable for the Bucks’ Tuesday game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Beverley will likely continue starting at point guard with Damian Lillard listed as doubtful for Game 5. He’s struggled to match his Game 1 production against Indiana. Rotoworld Today, 3:58 pm
     
  • Listed doubtful for Game 5
    Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Lillard aggravated a right Achilles injury during Game 3 and missed Game 4 after being diagnosed with a strained tendon. The Bucks lost both games and now face elimination. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful despite a positive update over the weekend, so Khris Middleton (ankle) and Brook Lopez may have to lead Milwaukee's offense again, while Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis remain in the starting lineup.
