  • Questionable for Wednesday
    LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

    Advice: LeVert started in place of Donovan Mitchell (calf) on Monday night, posting a respectable stat line across 39 minutes, despite the loss. With the Cavaliers hoping to roar back from a 3-1 deficit, the questionable tag is likely just a precaution as LeVert deals with a lingering knee injury. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 pm
     
  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) doubtful for Game 5 Weds.
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter has not played in a game since injuring his ankle during the Cavaliers’ regular-season finale. His absence has not impacted the rotation, but Cleveland is in an unenviable position ahead of what could be the final game of their season. Starter Donovan Mitchell (calf) and critical reserve Caris LeVert (knee) are questionable for Game 5, with the latter starting Game 4 for the former. If both are sidelined, Porter would be needed if he is available. Rotoworld Today, 2:41 pm
     
  • Another absence coming
    Jerome (ankle) is out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 while recovering from right ankle surgery. There is no indication that Jerome is nearing a return to action. Rotowire.com Today, 2:40 pm
     
  • Caris LeVert (knee) questionable for Game 5 Weds.
    Caris LeVert (left knee bone bruise) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Starting for the injured Donovan Mitchell (calf), LeVert was seen limping during Monday’s Game 4 defeat. He suffered a knee injury that could sideline him for Wednesday’s elimination game. Max Strus and Sam Merrill are of added importance, and starting point guard Darius Garland will have to take on a heavy offensive workload if LeVert and Mitchell cannot play.

  • Unlikely to play Wednesday
    Porter (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter is expected to miss his 12 straight game Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. While Porter's upgraded status suggests he's nearing a return, Cleveland being down 3-1 to Boston could mean the series will be over before the rookie guard can suit up again.

  • Mike Conley (Achilles) questionable Tuesday
    Mike Conley (right Achilles) is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets matchup.

    Advice: Conley is fresh off his best scoring performance of the series and totaled 15 points with nine assists in Game 4. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be in line for a bump in minutes if Conley is ruled out. Rotoworld Today, 11:27 am
     
  • Late addition to injury report
    Conley is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets due to right Achilles soreness.

    Advice: Conley is a late addition to Minnesota's injury report but was active during the morning shootaround, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'. The veteran point guard has averaged 11.9 points, 6.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes during the postseason, so his potential absence would be a big blow in a critical road matchup. If Conley is downgraded to out, Monte Morris, Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates for increased playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 11:03 am
     
  • Keeps scoring run alive
    Washington accumulated 21 points (7-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one block over 41 minutes during Monday's 100-96 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: The Mavericks failed to protect their home court and had to settle for a tough loss in Game 4, but one of the few positives in Monday's loss was that Washington continues to perform well even when he commands more attention from the opposing defenses. Washington has been Dallas' second-best player in this series, reaching the 20-point mark in three straight appearances and recording two double-doubles. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday in Oklahoma City. Rotowire.com Today, 8:06 am
     
  • Gets second surgery on ankle
    Robinson underwent surgery Monday to address a stress injury to his left ankle, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: The procedure was Robinson's second of the season on the left ankle, which he reinjured during the Knicks' first-round playoff series victory over the 76ers. Robinson previously underwent surgery in December after suffering a stress fracture to the ankle and missed 50 games before returning to action in late March. He played in just 16 games (including playoffs) following his return before the Knicks announced last Tuesday that Robinson would be re-evaluated in 6-to-8 weeks after aggravating the injury. It's unclear if that re-evaluation timeline still holds now that he's had surgery, but in any case, Robinson won't be available for the remainder of the Knicks' playoff run. He'll turn his focus toward getting back to full health for training camp in October. Rotowire.com Today, 6:54 am
