    • Likely to miss second-round series
      Porzingis (calf) will likely remain sidelined for the Celtics' second-round series in the Eastern Conference playoffs, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

      Advice: Porzingis sustained a calf injury in Game 4 of Boston's first-round series and was unavailable for Wednesday's Game 5 as the Celtics took down the Heat to advance to the second round. He's been diagnosed with a right soleus strain and was expected to miss several games, and it appears likely that his absence will span the entirety of the second round. However, the Celtics hope that Porzingis will be able to return if the team advances to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the 28-year-old will rest and rehab in the coming days.

    • Limited impact in Game 5 loss
      Harden amassed seven points (2-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-93 loss to the Mavericks in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Harden was a non-factor in the loss, a far cry from what he has been able to deliver thus far in the series. Both he and Paul George had off nights, much to the joy of Mavericks fans. The Clippers are now one loss away from elimination, a result that would leave the future of the current squad in some doubt. If they are to force a Game 7, Harden is going to need to rediscover his early-series form. Rotowire.com Today, 2:58 am
       
    • James Harden offers little in Game 5 blowout loss
      James Harden played 33 minutes in Wednesday’s 123-93 loss to the Mavericks, accounting for seven points (2-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: After shining in Sunday’s Game 4 victory, Harden put up an absolute stinker in Game 5. He finished with more turnovers (four) than made field goals (two), failing to reach double figures in a postseason game for the first time since Game 7 of the 76ers’ second-round loss to the Celtics last season. We’ve seen Harden have great games before, and he’ll need to do the same in Game 6 on Friday if the Clippers are to extend their season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:32 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) questionable for Game 6 Thurs.
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Knicks.

      Advice: Embiid remains on the injury report, but the good news is that the migraine headache is no longer an issue. Look for him to log heavy minutes as the 76ers attempt to force a decisive seventh game. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:32 pm
       
    • Haynes: Porzingis could return for conf. finals
      According to TNT’s Chris Haynes, Kristaps Porzingis (right soleus strain) is likely out for the second round but could be back if the Celtics advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

      Advice: Porzingis injured his calf during Boston’s Game 4 victory, which gave them a 3-1 lead over the Heat. While advancing to the second round isn’t guaranteed, the odds favor Boston. According to the report, Porzingis is unlikely to play during the second round, but he could be available if the Celtics reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Al Horford will replace KP in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:12 pm
       
    • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable Thursday
      Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Knicks-76ers game.

      Advice: Mitchell Robinson is on the injury report after his defensive masterclass in Game 5. The Knicks big man amassed three steals and two blocks. It appears like he could split New York’s center minutes down the middle with Isaiah Hartenstein if he’s healthy for Game 6. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:07 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 6
      Robinson (ankle) is questionable ahead of Thursday's Game 6 matchup with the 76ers.

      Advice: Robinson missed Game 4 due to an ankle issue but returned for Game 5 and logged 25 minutes. The big man has averaged 3.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 21.3 minutes during the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 6
      Embiid (knee) is questionable for Game 6 against the Knicks on Thursday.

      Advice: Embiid has been listed as questionable for every game in this series so far, but he's yet to miss a game, so he feels much closer to probable. While the reigning MVP hasn't looked 100 percent, he continues to stuff the stat sheet and has averaged 31.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 steals in 41.8 minutes.

    • Triple-doubles in win
      Embiid ended with 19 points (7-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists, four blocks and one steal in 48 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 overtime win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: This was considered an off game for Embiid, yet he still managed a triple-double to keep the 76ers alive in the playoffs. Embiid wasn't quite himself and was moving around pretty slowly, as he was battling both a migraine and some left knee soreness. The 76ers will be hopeful that Embiid will feel more like himself for Game 6 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:46 am
