Player Notes

  • Listed as doubtful for Game 5
    Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Lillard aggravated a right Achilles injury during Game 3 and missed Game 4 after being diagnosed with a strained tendon. The Bucks lost both games and now face elimination. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful despite a positive update over the weekend, so Khris Middleton (ankle) and Brook Lopez may have to lead Milwaukee's offense again, while Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis will likely remain in the starting lineup.

  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable Tuesday
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s Pacers-Bucks game.

    Advice: Haliburton is on the injury report after scoring 24 points on his best shooting night of the playoffs so far. However, now his status for Game 5 is up in the air. TJ McConnell will likely see an increase in minutes should Haliburton be ruled out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:38 pm
  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) out Tuesday vs. Magic
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is listed as out for Tuesday’s Cavaliers-Magic matchup.

    Advice: Porter still hasn’t recovered from the ankle injury he suffered at the end of the regular season. He’s set to miss his fifth consecutive playoff game on Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:07 pm
  • Jalen Brunson (knee) probable Tuesday vs 76ers
    Jalen Brunson (right knee contusion) is listed as questionable for the Knicks’ Tuesday meeting with the 76ers.

    Advice: Brunson popped up on the injury report with a knee injury after dropping 47 points his last time out. It doesn’t appear like he’s likely to miss any time from the minor ailment, though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:53 pm
  • Delon Wright (personal) available Monday
    Delon Wright (personal reasons) is available for Monday’s matchup with Miami.

    Advice: Wright sat out Game 3, but he’ll be back in action after just one game on the sidelines. Expect him to handle a typical workload in Game 4. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:58 am
  • Ineffective in Game 4 loss
    Beal posted nine points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block over 31 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 122-116 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: This was Beal's worst game of the playoffs, and it resulted in the Suns getting swept by the Timberwolves in the first round. For the fifth straight campaign, Beal was unable to eclipse 60 games and struggled with injuries. He ended up making 53 appearances in his first season with the Suns, posting averages of 18.2 points, 5.0 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.9 three-pointers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:12 am
  • Drops 49 points in defeat
    Booker accumulated 49 points (13-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 20-21 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 45 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Minnesota swept the Suns on Sunday, but Booker did everything he could to keep Phoenix in contention during a back-and-forth matchup, logging his fourth-highest scoring total of the season while contributing on both ends of the court. Booker remained dominant during his age-27 season, averaging 27.1 points, 6.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game. Booker should continue to play a prominent role for Phoenix during the 2024-25 season, his 10th year with the team. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:55 am
  • Takes on increased role in Game 4
    Green tallied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Bucks' 126-113 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the series.

    Advice: After missing the final two games of the regular season with a left ankle sprain, Green was fully cleared ahead of the Bucks' first-round playoff matchup and has been included in the rotation in each of the first four contests of the series. He received his biggest workload yet Sunday, as the Bucks opened up more minutes in the backcourt for Green, Malik Beasley and Andre Jackson while Damian Lillard (Achilles) joined Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in street clothes and Bobby Portis was ejected in the first quarter. Lillard's status for Tuesday's Game 5 has yet to be determined, so Green could be in store for another 20-plus-minute role if Lillard is sidelined once again. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:53 am
  • Gets light role in return
    Melton (back) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in seven minutes Sunday in the 76ers' 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first-round playoff series.

    Advice: After missing the first two games of the playoffs due to back injury recovery and then not leaving the bench in Game 3 in a coach's decision, Melton made his series debut Sunday. Melton didn't make much of an impact during his limited time on the floor, and he's uncertain to be included in the rotation in Game 5 on Tuesday, when the 76ers will look to stave off elimination.
