  • 116-61-3 1st Place
    • Officially cleared to play
      Middleton (ankle) is available for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Middleton was probable for Thursday's matchup and has officially been cleared to suit up again. He's had a significant role in recent games, averaging 32.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 40.3 minutes per game over his last three outings. However, he'll have additional help in Game 6 since Damian Lillard (Achilles) has been cleared to return. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:37 pm
       
    • Khris Middleton, Patrick Beverley available Thurs.
      Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) and Patrick Beverley (right oblique muscle strain) will play in Game 6 against the Pacers on Thursday.

      Advice: Both players were listed as probable, so their availablility isn’t a surprise. They both played well in Game 5 and will have to shine again in Game 6 in order to extend the series. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:36 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 6
      Lillard (Achilles) is available for Thursday's Game 6 against Indiana, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

      Advice: Lillard has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing the previous two contests with right Achilles tendinitis. The star guard will likely replace Malik Beasley in the starting lineup. Lillard is averaging 32.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 40.7 minutes across his previous three appearances in Milwaukee's first-round series against the Pacers.

    • Haynes: Damian Lillard will play in Game 6
      Damian Lillard (right Achilles tendinitis) will play in Game 6 against Indiana on Thursday, per Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.

      Advice: Lillard is out on the court for his pregame warmup, which was encouraging for his chances of playing. Now Haynes has reported that Lillard will be back after missing Games 4 and 5. Milwaukee defended their home court without him on Tuesday, and now he will try and help them extend the series on the road. Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to remain out, but if Lillard can help them stay alive, he could return as soon as Game 7. Malik Beasley will likely return to the bench for this game.

    • Could suit up Thursday
      Lillard (Achilles) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

      Advice: Lillard could return to action Thursday after missing the previous two contests with a right Achilles injury. While Lillard is reportedly more likely to suit up than Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), an official injury update should be released closer to the 6:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

    • Damian Lillard (Achilles) questionable Thursday
      Damian Lillard (right Achilles Tendinitis) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable ahead of Thursday’s Bucks-Pacers game.

      Advice: Lillard has taken a step toward returning to the hardwood after missing his team’s last two games. The Bucks point guard can give his team a big lift if he’s healthy enough to play, but it’s unclear how much he’ll be able to contribute right now. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:26 am
       
    • Upgraded to questionable
      Lillard (Achilles) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

      Advice: Lillard was initially deemed doubtful for a third consecutive matchup, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's tipoff. If he's able to return to action, it'd provide a significant boost for the Bucks, who are attempting to keep their season alive by forcing a Game 7. If Lillard is unable to suit up, Malik Beasley will probably remain in the starting lineup, while Khris Middleton would likely be a centerpiece for Milwaukee. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:58 am
       
    • Khris Middleton, Patrick Beverley probable Thu.
      Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) and Patrick Beverley (right oblique muscle strain) are listed as probable for the Bucks’ Thursday meeting with the Pacers.

      Advice: Middleton and Beverley were crucial to Milwaukee’s Game 5 upset. Middleton scored a game-high 29 points while Beveley chipped in with a game-high 12 assists. Both players will likely carry heavy workloads in Game 6, as Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are doubtful. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:54 pm
       
    • Damian Lillard (Achilles) doubtful Thursday
      Damian Lillard (right Achilles tendinitis) is listed as doubtful for Thursday’s meeting between the Bucks and Pacers.

      Advice: Lillard appears set to miss his second consecutive playoff game. Malik Beasley will likely fill in for the star point guard alongside Patrick Beverley. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:46 pm
