  • Still out
    Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Magic.

    Advice: Porter has yet to suit up during the postseason due to a left ankle sprain. Even when he's healthy, the undrafted rookie isn't guaranteed minutes. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
     
  • Iffy for Game 5
    Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson sprained his surgically repaired left ankle during New York's Game 3 loss last Thursday and was sidelined for Sunday's win. If Robinson is ruled out again, Precious Achiuwa would likely see increased minutes, but coach Tom Thibodeau also deployed OG Anunoby as the small-ball center to guard Joel Embiid for long stretches in Game 4.

  • Probable for Game 5
    Brunson is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers due to a right knee contusion.

    Advice: Brunson briefly exited Sunday's Game 4 win over the 76ers, and it seems unlikely the issue will force him to miss Game 5. Over the first four matchups of the series, he's averaged 33.0 points, 9.0 assists and 5.3 rebounds in 42.0 minutes per game. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
     
  • Out for Game 5
    Bogdanovic (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bogdanovic has been playing through ligament damage in his left wrist during the opening-round series, but he suffered a left foot contusion in his first stint on the court during New York's Game 4 win and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. In Bogdanovic's absence, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa are candidates for a few extra minutes. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable Tuesday vs. NYK
    Joel Embiid is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with New York due to left knee injury recovery.

    Advice: Embiid’s knee has bothered him throughout the series with the Knicks, so it’s no surprise that he’s questionable for Game 5. Philly is on the brink of elimination, but it’s unclear if the Sixers want to risk further injury and fight for a Game 6 or give Embiid time to recover and essentially concede the series. If he can’t go, Paul Reed would presumably start in his place. Rotoworld Today, 11:12 am
     
  • Listed questionable for Tuesday
    Embiid is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.

    Advice: Embiid has averaged 35.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 40.3 minutes over the first four games of the opening-round series. However, the reigning MVP, who missed two months during the regular season after undergoing meniscus surgery, continues to be listed as questionable and has struggled in every fourth quarter thus far. With the 76ers facing elimination in New York on Tuesday, it'd be shocking if Embiid didn't suit up. Rotowire.com Today, 10:34 am
     
  • Delon Wright (personal) available Monday
    Delon Wright (personal reasons) is available for Monday’s matchup with Miami.

    Advice: Wright sat out Game 3, but he’ll be back in action after just one game on the sidelines. Expect him to handle a typical workload in Game 4. Rotoworld Today, 9:58 am
     
  • Cleared to play Monday
    Wright (personal) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: As expected, Wright, who missed Miami's Game 3 loss for the birth of his daughter, has been upgraded from probable to available. In Game 1, Wright posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench, but he was a non-factor in Game 2. Rotowire.com Today, 8:51 am
     
  • Nearly double-doubles
    Nurkic provided nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Nurkic was very inconsistent in the first round against the Timberwolves, which was the case for most of the team, to be fair. Overall, Nurkic had a solid regular season campaign for Phoenix, averaging 10.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals. Nurkic will remain under contract for two more seasons.
