    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable Saturday
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is listed as questionable for Saturday’s Cavaliers-Celtics game.

      Advice: Allen is looking to return from a five-game hiatus this weekend. Cleveland’s usual starting center hasn’t played since the first round and will likely continue to be replaced by Isaac Okoro in the starting lineup if ruled out for Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:02 pm
       
    • Gets another questionable tag
      Allen (ribs) is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Allen has missed five straight games and was listed as questionable ahead of each of them, so his current status doesn't provide increased optimism. The Cavaliers were surprisingly able to even the series with a Game 2 victory Thursday, and the potential return of their star big man would be another major momentum shift, especially with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) expected to be sidelined for at least a few more games. However, if Allen remains sidelined, Isaac Okoro would likely draw another start. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:36 pm
       
    • Daniel Gafford (hand) scores 13 points Thursday
      Daniel Gafford (right hand) shot 4-of-6 from the field and 5-of-9 from the foul line in Thursday’s Game 2 win over Dallas, scoring 13 points with seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one blocked shot in 27 minutes.

      Advice: Despite injuring his right hand during the second quarter, Gafford played 27 minutes as the starting center and was one of five Mavericks to reach double figures. He did spend some time in the locker room before halftime, but the veteran pivot still shouldered his usual workload. There’s a quick turnaround for Game 3, which will be played on Saturday afternoon in Dallas. Should Gafford’s hand become more problematic, Dereck Lively II would take on added responsibility. The rookie played 20 minutes off the bench in Game 2, finishing with two points (1-of-7 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, and one blocked shot. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:25 pm
       
    • Derrick White crashes to earth, scores 10 points
      Derrick White amassed 10 points (3-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one block, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes in Thursday’s Game 2 loss to the Cavaliers.

      Advice: Having hit seven 3-pointers in Boston’s Game 1 blowout of the Cavs, White appeared to be in for a big series. However, his shot went missing in Game 2, and Derrick wasn’t the only Celtics player to struggle. As a team, Boston shot 8-of-35 from beyond the arc, with Cleveland outscoring them by a 39-24 margin. Thursday’s performance ended a three-game streak of at least 25 points for White, who scored 20 or more in three of Boston’s five games against Miami in the first round. He’ll look to bounce back in Game 3 on Saturday. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:07 pm
       
    • Ruled out for Game 2
      Allen (ribs) is out for Thursday's Game 2 against the Celtics, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

      Advice: Allen didn't participate in Thursday's morning shootaround, so his chances of playing in Game 2 were always going to be slim. Isaac Okoro will keep his place in the starting unit as a result, whereas Allen will aim to recover enough to play in Game 3 of the series, scheduled for Saturday.

    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) ruled out Thursday
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) has been ruled out for Thursday’s Cavaliers-Celtics contest.

      Advice: Allen is set to miss a fourth consecutive game with the rib injury he suffered against the Magic in the first round. Evan Mobley will continue starting at center. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:32 pm
       
    • Doesn't participate in shootaround
      Allen (ribs), who is listed as questionable, did not participate in morning shootaround in advance of Thursday's Game 2 against the Celtics, Bobby Manning of CLNS Media reports.

      Advice: Allen's rib injury has cost him four consecutive games, and it appears a fifth is on the horizon. We may not get official confirmation on the center's status until closer to tipoff, but his lack of participation in shootaround is a discouraging sign. If he remains out, Evan Mobley should continue serving as the Cavaliers' center while Max Strus and Isaac Okoro play the two forward spots. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:21 am
       
    • Quiet again Wednesday
      Nesmith totaled six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Nesmith managed just six points in the loss, continuing his disappointing postseason. While he does provide the Pacers with a reliable defensive asset, his inability to score on a consistent basis remains a concern. The series will now head to Indiana, where the Pacers will look to secure their first win. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:36 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable for Game 2
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is questionable to play in Game 2 against Boston on Thursday.

      Advice: Allen missed the final three games of round one and the first game of round two, with Isaac Okoro starting in his place for three of his four absences. Okoro should continue to start in Game 2 if Allen remains sidelined, though he will be pushed to a reserve role if Allen is able to suit up. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:39 pm
