  • Available for Game 4
    Anderson (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the Suns.

    Advice: Anderson carried a questionable tag into Game 4, but he will officially be available. Anderson has seen limited action this postseason, so he doesn't figure to have much fantasy appeal in most formats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:36 pm
     
  • Bobby Portis (slappy and you know it) ejected
    Bobby Portis has been ejected from Sunday’s matchup with the Pacers midway through the first quarter after a physical altercation with Andrew Nembhard.

    Advice: Portis and Nembhard got into it with just over five minutes to play in the first quarter. Both players were given technical fouls, but Portis was ejected after throwing hands. He finished with four points and three rebounds across seven minutes. Already down Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, the Bucks will have to turn to Andre Jackson Jr., Pat Connaughton and Danilo Gallinari to pick up the slack off the bench. Gallinari could see the biggest bump in playing time for the Bucks’ depleted frontcourt. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:15 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Monday
    Reddish (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Reddish will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return if the Lakers stage a dramatic comeback in their first-round series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:48 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 5
    Vanderbilt (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Vanderbilt has yet to appear in the playoffs for the Lakers, who find themselves on the brink of elimination. This is the first time Vanderbilt has not immediately been ruled out, so he seems to be trending towards a return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:47 pm
     
  • Likely to play in Game 5
    Davis (wrist) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Davis was questionable for Saturday's Game 4 due to his left wrist sprain, but he suited up and tallied 25 points, 23 rebounds, six assists and a block in 42 minutes. Assuming he's available Monday, it seems unlikely that he'll face any restrictions. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:46 pm
     
  • Probable for Game 5
    James (ankle) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: James continues to deal with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy ahead of Game 5, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again. Over the first four matchups in the series, he's averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 40.0 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:45 pm
     
  • Ejected Sunday
    Portis has been ejected from Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Portis was assessed with two technical fouls stemming from an altercation with Andrew Nembhard in the first quarter, disqualifying him for the remainder of the game. Portis finished the contest with four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes of action. The already shorthanded Bucks will likely lean on Andre Jackson, Pat Connaughton and Jae Crowder to fill Portis' role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:32 pm
     
  • Derrick Jones Jr. posts 14/7/1/1/1 line in Game 4
    Derrick Jones Jr. shot 6-of-9 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Sunday’s loss to the Clippers, accounting for 14 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

    Advice: Jones was one of four Mavericks starters to reach double figures in Game 4, which the Mavericks trailed by as much as 31 before rallying during the second half. Since going scoreless in Game 1, Airplane Mode has made at least 50% of his shots in three consecutive games. While the 2-of-3 afternoon from beyond the arc in Game 4 was a departure from the norm for Jones, this was an encouraging sight, as the Mavericks need others to step up in assistance of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Jones will look to build on this performance in Game 5 on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:09 pm
     
  • Officially available for Game 4
    Middleton (ankle) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Middleton was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup and will officially be available once again. The 32-year-old had a dominant effort during Friday's overtime loss, tallying 42 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 41 minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:32 pm
