    • Al Horford starts second half in place of KP
      Al Horford started the second half on Monday and contributed seven points (3-of-5 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one triple against the Heat.

      Advice: Kristaps Porzingis exited just before halftime of this game with what was initially labeled a right calf strain. However, more recent reports indicate that it may be an Achilles injury, and he will undergo imaging on Tuesday. Horford didn’t contribute much in the box score, but even at his age, he is still more than capable of contributing at a high level until Porzingis is available to play again. If it is a serious injury for KP, Horford may be the starting center for the rest of their playoff run, with Luke Kornet likely filling out the backup minutes down low.

    • Woj: Kristaps Porzingis to undergo imaging Tuesday
      Kristaps Porzingis will undergo imaging on Tuesday, though early indications are that he has sustained a right Achilles injury, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

      Advice: They initially listed his injury as a calf strain, but it appears that it may be far more severe than that. The team will hopefully provide a clearer update on Tuesday, but it seems like Al Horford will be starting at center for the foreseeable future, with Xavier Tillman and Luke Kornet sprinkling in a few minutes.

    • Unlikely to return
      Porzingis is being considered doubtful to return to Monday's Game 5 against the Heat due to right calf tightness, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

      Advice: The severity of Porzingis' injury is not yet known, however, it sounds like he'll be held out the rest of the way. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN has already reported that Porzingis will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, and the initial indication is that he managed to avoid an Achilles injury. Boston should have more information on the big man's status over the next day or so. Rotowire.com Today, 5:43 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis (calf) doubtful to return
      Kristaps Porzingis (right calf tightness) is listed as doubtful to return to Game 4 against Miami on Monday.

      Advice: KP exited the game a little before halftime, and the team is labeling the injury as calf tightness. He isn’t expected to return to this game, though Boston does hold a 17-point lead at halftime. Al Horford should start the second half in his place and see extra minutes until KP returns.

    • Limps to locker room
      Porzingis walked to the locker room during the first half of Monday's Game 4 against the Heat with an apparent lower body injury, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: Porzingis came up limping with a few minutes remaining in the second quarter, and he immediately called to the bench for a sub and walked gingerly to the locker room to be evaluated further. Al Horford and Luke Kornet would be in line for larger workloads in the frontcourt if Porzingis is unable to return. Rotowire.com Today, 5:33 pm
       
    • Pascal Siakam scores 13 on 14 FG, but Pacers win
      Pascal Siakam finished Sunday’s win over Milwaukee with 13 points (6-of-14 FG, 0-of-4 3-Pointers), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block across 40 minutes.

      Advice: Siakam was monstrous on offense in Games 1 and 2, combining for 73 points on 31-of-48 shooting. In Games 3 and 4, however, his scoring regressed, and he totaled just 30 points on 13-of-31 shooting. Siakam’s poor showing on offense was buoyed by the duo of Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton, who combined for 53 points and 12 triples on 18-of-33 shooting. Despite his woes as a shooter, Spicy P was still able to make an impact thanks to his rebounding, playmaking and defense. He’ll look to get back on track with his efficiency in a close-out Game 5 on the road Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:35 pm
       
    • Well-rounded showing in Game 4
      Siakam notched 13 points (6-14 FG< 0-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block over 40 minutes in Sunday's 126-113 win over the Bucks in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Siakam has been outstanding for Indiana all series against Milwaukee, posting a well-rounded performance in Sunday's Game 4 while helping the Pacers take a commanding 3-1 series lead. Siakam struggled shooting a bit from the field, but he still reached double figures in scoring while ending one rebound and three assists short of a triple-double. Siakam has tallied at least 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists in two games this series, and we should expect him to continue to shine for Indiana in a potential series-clinching Game 5 in Milwaukee.

    • Kyle Anderson (hip) available Sunday vs. PHX
      Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is available for Sunday’s matchup with the Suns.

      Advice: Slow Mo will be available after logging just eight minutes in Friday’s Game 3 victory. He’s not expected to play a major role in Game 4. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:58 pm
       
    • Owns glass despite shooting woes
      Hart racked up four points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 46 minutes during Sunday's 97-92 victory over Philadelphia in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Hart dominated Game 4 on the glass, leading all players in the contest in rebounds to go along with a handful of assists despite not making any shots from the field in a winning effort. Hart, who ended three boards shy of the 20-rebound mark, became the first player in NBA playoff history to have over 15 rebounds and five assists while not converting on a shot from the field. Hart has impressed on the glass this postseason, hauling in 13 or more boards in three straight outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:44 pm
