    • Duncan Robinson (back) cleared to play in Game 2
      Duncan Robinson (left facet syndrome) is listed as active for the Heat’s Game 2 matchup against the Celtics on Wednesday.

      Advice: Robinson is set to play in his second straight playoff game. The Heat wing has played twice since notching a DNP against the 76ers in a play-in game and appears likely to continue contributing off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 1:24 pm
       
    • Strong from deep in loss
      Harris ended with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Harris led all Orlando players in threes made while hauling in a quartet of rebounds and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Harris bounced back in Game 2 after a disappointing performance in Game 1, during which the guard did not connect on a shot while being held scoreless. Harris will need to continue to provide a lift offensively for Orlando as it tries to erase a 2-0 series deficit entering Game 3. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:10 pm
       
    • Owns glass in double-double showing
      Zubac logged 20 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 victory over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Zubac led all players in rebounds while ending as one of three Clippers with 20 or more points in a double-double showcase. Zubac posted four games during the regular season with 15 or more rebounds, adding 20 or more points in one of those outings. Los Angeles will look for Zubac to continue to own the battle in the paint this series while also providing a much-needed spark offensively in a favorable matchup against Dallas.

    • Ivica Zubac posts 20-point double-double vs. LAC
      Ivica Zubac registered 20 points (10-of-17 FGs) with 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and a block.

      Advice: Zubac was dominant in the painted area as a scorer and rebounder. Dallas had no answer for the big man and he has a chance to consistently cause problems for the Mavericks’ frontcourt. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:43 pm
       
    • Duncan Robinson (back) cleared to play in Game 1
      Duncan Robinson (left facet syndrome) will play against Boston in Game 1 on Sunday.

      Advice: After not seeing the floor in their first Play-In game, Robinson logged 12 minutes in the win over Chicago on Friday. Robinson had some success against Boston in the playoffs last year, and they may lean on him again this year with both Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier sidelined. However, he didn’t play much in the Play-In Tournament, so there is certainly a chance that he is on the bench a lot in this series. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:29 am
       
    • Cleared for Game 1
      Robinson (back) is available for Sunday's Game 1 versus Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

      Advice: Robinson was unavailable for Miami's Play-In Tournament loss to Philadelphia but returned in a win-or-go-home contest versus Chicago on Friday, dropping eight points in 12 minutes of a blowout victory. He's a candidate to step into a larger workload Sunday, especially with Terry Rozier (neck) and Jimmy Butler (knee) out. However, the extent to which he'll play is unclear after experiencing aggravations with his ongoing facet syndrome in recent weeks. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:29 am
       
    • Bradley Beal records 15 points, six dimes vs. MIN
      Bradley Beal finished Sunday’s 120-95 loss to the Timberwolves with 15 points (6-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, three steals, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes.

      Advice: Beal shot the ball efficiently, making 60% of his attempts from the field, but ten shots is low for a scorer of his caliber. In the two games he played against Minnesota during the regular season, Beal averaged 15 attempts, so fans should expect a more involved guard in Tuesday’s Game 2. With Grayson Allen injuring his ankle during the third quarter of Saturday’s defeat, Beal’s role will be of even greater importance if the NBA’s leader in 3-point percentage cannot play.

    • Dereck Lively II (knee) absent from injury report
      Dereck Lively II (right knee sprain) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

      Advice: Lively is available after missing Dallas’ final eight games of the regular season. Daniel Gafford remains the starting center, while Lively’s return means fewer minutes for Maxi Kleber. Kleber wasn’t a player worth slotting into DFS lineups when the rookie was out, so nothing changes. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:47 pm
       
    • Not listed on injury report
      Lively (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers.

      Advice: Coach Jason Kidd said Friday that Lively was trending in the right direction and was on track to play in Sunday's series opener, so this is not entirely surprising, though it does boost the team's depth in the frontcourt. Lively should see decent minutes off the bench, although Daniel Gafford is expected to be the starting center, as was the case down the stretch in the regular season. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:35 pm
