  • Questionable to return Thursday
    Kornet is questionable to return to Thursday's Game 2 against the Pacers due to a left wrist sprain.

    Advice: The potential absence of Kornet will hurt the team's frontcourt depth, as the Celtics are already missing Kristaps Porzingis (calf). If Kornet can't return, then Xavier Tillman would be in line to absorb minutes as Al Horford's backup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:12 pm
     
  • Out for Game 2
    Kleber (shoulder) won't play Friday in Game 2 of the Mavericks' Western Conference Finals series with the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Kleber remains without an official timetable to return from the right AC joint separation he sustained earlier this month. The Mavericks haven't indicated whether Kleber has a chance at playing in the series, but his status will continue to be evaluated on a game-by-game basis. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:47 pm
     
  • Probable for Game 2
    Doncic is probable for Friday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals versus Minnesota due to left ankle soreness and a right knee sprain.

    Advice: Doncic has been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the Mavericks' postseason run, and the fact that he's dealing with two completely independent injuries goes to show just how banged up he is. He's been a regular on Dallas' injury report recently, but the probable tag suggests he'll play with no limitations Friday. Doncic racked up 33 points (12-26 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 victory over Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

  • Luka Doncic (knee/ankle) probable for Game 2
    Luka Doncic (right knee sprain/left ankle soreness) is probable for Game 2 against Minnesota on Friday.

    Advice: Luka is still dealing with multiple injuries, but that isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup. He came alive in the fourth quarter of Game 1, and he’ll look to have another big performance in Game 2 with an opportunity to steal both games on the road. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:35 pm
     
  • Mike Conley (calf) questionable for Game 2 Friday
    Mike Conley (right soleus strain) is questionable for Game 2 against Dallas on Friday.

    Advice: Conley is once again listed as questionable on the injury report, but after playing 31 minutes in Game 1, he should be good to go again on Friday. If not, Nickeil Alexander-Walker should slide into the starting unit in his place. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:49 pm
     
  • Iffy for Game 2
    Conley (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the Mavericks.

    Advice: Conley continues to deal with a right soleus strain but has suited up in each of Minnesota's last three contests. If the veteran guard is upgraded to available yet again Friday, he will likely receive a similar workload to the 31 minutes he played in Game 1. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:32 pm
     
  • Xavier Tillman (personal) active Thursday
    Xavier Tillman (personal reasons) is listed as active for Thursday’s Game 2 matchup between the Celtics and Pacers.

    Advice: Tillman wasn’t with his team for Game 1 because of personal reasons but will be available on Thursday. The reserve big man might give Boston some spot minutes off the pine but isn’t expected to play a significant role. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:04 am
     
  • Available for Game 2
    Tillman (personal) is available for Thursday's Game 2 against the Pacers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Advice: The reserve big has seen limited action throughout the playoffs, appearing in just three games -- one against Miami and two against Cleveland. With Kristaps Porzingis (calf) expected to be sidelined until at least Game 4, Al Horford has been seeing extended minutes. It's possible Tillman will be thrown into action in hopes of giving Horford some more rest time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:30 am
     
  • Poor shooting in Game 1
    Towns racked up 16 points (6-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 loss to Dallas in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

    Advice: The Timberwolves need Towns to be consistent as an offensive threat, and while the numbers have been there most of the time, the efficiency has been lacking. Towns has scored at least 20 points in four of his last eight appearances since the start of the series against the Nuggets while shooting 47.4 percent from the field in that span, so he seems to be getting the job done even when he has an off night from time to time. Given he only made 30 percent of his shots in Game 1 on Wednesday, Towns will aim to bounce back in Game 2 on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:39 am
