  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) cleared to play in Game 5
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) will play in Game 5 on Tuesday against the Bucks.

    Advice: Haliburton was also questionable ahead of Game 4 with this back issue, but it hasn’t kept him off the court. With both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard out again, Haliburton will look to lead his team to the next round with a win in this one. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago

  • Kawhi Leonard (knee) ruled out for Game 5 vs. Mavs
    Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) will remain sidelined for Game 5 against Dallas on Wednesday.

    Advice: Unsurprisingly, Leonard has been ruled out for Game 5, though the situation isn’t as bleak as many expected. The Clippers have won the two games that he hasn’t played in, and they were able to reclaim home court advantage in Game 4. They won’t force Kawhi back out on the court if he isn’t 100%, which means that Amir Coffey should remain in the starting unit. Rotoworld Today, 5:04 pm

    Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) and Patrick Beverley (right oblique muscle strain) will play in Game 5 against the Pacers on Tuesday.

Beverley will continue to join Middleton in the starting unit, though he only played 21 minutes in their last game. Doc Rivers also leaned heavily on guys like Andre Jackson Jr., AJ Green and Pat Connaughton off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 4:51 pm
