  • Naji Marshall chips in 16 points off bench
    Naji Marshall provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (5-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one block and four triples against Oklahoma City on Monday.

    Advice: It didn’t end up meaning much, but Marshall had a solid series and ended it with an excellent offensive game off the bench. This was a new playoff career-high for points for him, and he is now set to enter unrestricted free agency. He has been a solid role player for New Orleans, and he may end up fetching a decent-sized contract for a new team this summer. Regardless of where he ends up, Marshall is far more valuable as a role player than he is in fantasy basketball. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago

  • Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) cleared to play in Game 5

    Advice: Vanderbilt hasn’t played in nearly three months, but he will make his return in what could be their final game of the season.

  • Chris Livingston active vs. Pacers Tuesday
    Chris Livingston has been upgraded from out active for Tuesday’s Bucks-Pacers game.

    Advice: Livingston has been sidelined by an illness as of late but his removal from the injury report won’t make him relevant. He’s not part of the Bucks’ rotation when healthy. Rotoworld Today, 4:01 pm
     
  • Not listed on injury report
    Livingston (illness) isn't listed on the Bucks' injury report ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Livingston missed Games 3 and 4 due to an illness but is cleared for Game 5. However, the second-round rookie isn't guaranteed playing time and has seen only four minutes in the opening-round series, which all game during a Game 2 blowout loss. Rotowire.com Today, 3:48 pm
     
  • Officially doubtful
    Antetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo has yet to play this postseason due to a left calf strain he suffered against the Celtics on April 9. Coach Doc Rivers said ahead of Sunday's Game 4 loss that Antetokounmpo was cleared to run with no resistance and continues to do stationary shooting, but it seems the All-Star is still a few hurdles away from game action. Damian Lillard (Achilles) is also doubtful for Tuesday's potential elimination game, so Khris Middleton (ankle) and Brook Lopez may have to lead Milwaukee's offense again. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm
