  • 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 23 minutes ago
     
  • Grayson Allen (ankle) sidelined Sunday vs. MIN
    Grayson Allen will be sidelined for Sunday’s matchup with the Timberwolves on Sunday.

    Advice: Allen’s absence comes with particularly poor timing, as the Suns are in danger of being swept in Game 4 after falling behind 3-0 in the first-round series against the Wolves. Royce O’Neale and Eric Gordon should see extra minutes with Allen sidelined. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
     
  • Unavailable for Game 4
    Allen (ankle) is out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Advice: Allen was unable to play Friday due to a right ankle sprain that will hold him out again Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale should continue to see expanded roles in Allen's absence. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • 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 50 minutes ago
     
  • 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 is yet to appear in the psotseason 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 51 minutes ago
     
  • 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 52 minutes ago
     
  • 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 54 minutes ago
     
  • Ejected Sunday
    Portis has been ejected from Sunday's contest 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 finishes 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 Today, 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 Today, 4:09 pm
