    • Al Horford posts modest line in Game 5 victory
      Al Horford played 23 minutes in Wednesday’s Game 5 win over the Heat, finishing with eight points (3-of-4 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one 3-pointers.

      Advice: The Celtics were without Kristaps Porzingis, who suffered a strained right soleus muscle during Game 4. As was the case throughout the regular season, Horford moved into the starting lineup. The veteran big man didn’t have to do much, as Boston got off to a hot start and never looked back in their decisive win over the Heat. Ending this series in five games gets the Celtics additional rest, especially if the Cleveland/Orlando series goes the distance. With Porzingis unlikely to return before the conference finals (should Boston advance that far), Horford will serve as the starting center in the second round. Rotoworld Today, 7:10 pm
       
    • Derrick White scores 25 points with five triples
      Derrick White shot 8-of-13 from the field and 4-of-5 from the foul line in Wednesday’s win over the Heat, scoring 25 points with five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers in 29 minutes.

      Advice: It didn’t take long for White, who scored 38 points in Game 4, and the Celtics to turn the series clincher into a laugher. Boston tallied 41 points in the first quarter and did not look back, earning themselves some valuable rest days ahead of the second round. Whether the opponent is Cleveland or Orlando (CLE leads 3-2 ahead of Friday’s Game 6), White will be a crucial figure due to his defensive prowess. And the final games of the Heat series showed what he’s capable of offensively, especially if opponents devote too much defensive attention to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

    • Starting sans Porzingis
      Horford will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Heat.

      Advice: Horford played 34 minutes in Game 4 with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) going down with an injury in the first half. With Porzingis sidelined Wednesday -- and likely longer -- Horford will step into the starting center role, where he's expected to remain until Porzingis returns. Rotowire.com Today, 4:11 pm
       
    • Steps up for Cleveland
      Morris finished Tuesday's 104-103 victory over Orlando in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.

      Advice: The Cavaliers were missing Jarrett Allen (ribs), and while Isaac Okoro drew the start, Morris stepped into the rotation and made a massive impact. Morris had a total of 15 minutes in this series before Tuesday, so credit to him for staying ready. For now, it remains unclear if Allen will be ready to return for Game 6 in Orlando on Friday.

    • Scores 14 points in win
      Oubre notched 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 overtime win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Oubre played through an illness Tuesday night but managed to have a positive impact on both ends of the court. Through five games in this series, Oubre holds averages of 12.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 blocks, 2.0 steals and 1.2 three-pointers. Rotowire.com Today, 7:50 am
       
    • Ruled out for Game 5
      Allen (ribs) won't play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Magic, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Allen has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to a right rib contusion he suffered in Game 4. Isaac Okoro will replace him in the starting lineup, with Damian Jones and Tristan Thompson candidates to receive increased playing time off the bench. Allen's next chance to suit up is Game 6 on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:35 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen ruled out, Isaac Okoro to start
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) has been ruled out for Game 5 on Tuesday against the Magic, which will allow Isaac Okoro to start in his place.

      Advice: With Allen sidelined, Evan Mobley will shift over to center, with Okoro entering the starting unit. Mobley has had a solid series, but he’ll have to really step up with Allen out of the rotation. Tristan Thompson will likely also be forced into extra minutes behind Mobley.

    • Kelly Oubre (illness) to play in Game 5 Tuesday
      Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) will play on Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: Despite missing the 76ers’ pregame shootaround, Oubre was probable on the initial injury report. He will play in Game 5, with 76ers coach Nick Nurse saying that “it’s a matter of how far he can go” regarding how much Oubre plays. Nicolas Batum and DeAnthony Melton can play additional minutes if Kelly is limited. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:45 pm
       
    • Set to play Tuesday
      Oubre (illness) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Oubre has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with an illness. However, it is possible that the 27-year-old forward sees reduced playing time compared to his 40 minutes in Game 4. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:43 pm
