  • Won't start Game 3
    Isaac is not in the starting lineup to face the Cavaliers on Thursday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Isaac started the first two games of the series, where he averaged 6.5 points and 4.5 rebounds across 24.5 minutes per contest, but he'll head back to the bench here. Wendell Carter will get the nod in the frontcourt alongside Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Starting in Game 3
    Carter is in the starting lineup to face the Cavaliers on Thursday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Carter was the starting center for the majority of the regular season, and he will slot back into that role as the Magic attempt to shake things up ahead of a pivotal Game 3 at home. Carter has averaged 10.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in a starting role this season. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Available to play Thursday
    Melton (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Advice: Melton was tabbed a game-time decision for this contest, but in the end, he'll be available to see minutes off the bench. He didn't see action in any of the first two games of the series and has played just two games since the beginning of March, so he's not expected to have a heavy workload across the board.

  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) probable Thursday
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle recovery) is listed as questionable for the Knicks’ Thursday matchup with the 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson appeared on the injury report after Game 2 and is still dealing with the ankle injury that caused him to miss a large chunk of the regular season. He’ll likely continue backing up Isaiah Hartenstein at center. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Will play Thursday
    Robinson (ankle) will be available for Thursday's game against the 76ers, head coach Tim Thibodeau told Ky Carlin of USA Today.

    Advice: Robinson played 30 minutes in the series opener, and while he logged only 18 in Game 2, the big man should see decent minutes Thursday after going through the team's shootaround with no issues. He should continue playing off the bench while Isaiah Hartenstein remains in the first unit. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Considered game-time decision
    Melton (back) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Melton practiced Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday's matchup, but the 76ers will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his availability. Even with the 76ers down 0-2 in the first-round series, it wouldn't be surprising to see Melton's playing time monitored if he's cleared to suit up Thursday. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) out Friday
    Olivier-Maxence Prosper (left ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Friday’s Mavericks-Clippers game.

    Advice: Prosper has only logged one minute through Game 1 of his team’s first-round series so his absence won’t affect the rotation. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
     
  • Chris Livingston (illness) doubtful Friday
    Chris Livingston (illness) is doubtful for the Bucks’ Friday matchup against the Pacers.

    Advice: Livingston logged four minutes of garbage time in Game 2 and isn’t likely to be a significant contributor in Game 3 whether he’s healthy or not. Rotoworld Today, 1:43 pm
     
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) doubtful Friday
    Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is listed as doubtful for the Bucks’ Friday matchup with the Pacers.

    Advice: Antetokounmpo still hasn’t made his 2024 NBA Playoffs debut and it appears like he’ll miss his team’s first road game of its series against Indiana ahead of the weekend. Bobby Portis will likely continue to start for Antetokounmpo. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
