  • OG Anunoby puts up 17/6/0/2/1 line in Game 5
    OG Anunoby came up big late on Tuesday and finished with 17 points (7-of-12 FGs), six rebounds, two steals, one block and two triples in 50 minutes in Game 5 against the 76ers.

    Advice: Anunoby made some big plays late in the fourth quarter of this game, and if the result was different, his impact would have been one of the headlines from this game. Tyrese Maxey’s heroics overshadowed that, but Anunoby’s fit with this team has been flawless. He played 50 minutes in this game after logging 46 minutes in their last one, but that won’t change Tom Thibodeau’s gameplan. He’ll continue to rely on OG to make plays on the defensive end for most of Game 6 without much of a break. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:29 pm
     
  • Won't return Tuesday
    Harris is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a right hamstring strain, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports. He will end the contest with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two blocks in 19 minutes.

    Advice: In Harris' absence, Markell Fultz, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black are all candidates to receive increased playing time. Harris' next chance to suit up is Game 6 on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:14 pm
     
  • Gary Harris (hamstring) will not return Tuesday
    Gary Harris (right hamstring strain) will not return to Tuesday’s game against Cleveland.

    Advice: Harris will miss the fourth quarter of Game 5, and his status for Game 6 is now in question. Cole Anthony and Markelle Fultz should see a few extra minutes in his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:55 pm
     
  • Kawhi Leonard (knee) ruled out for Game 5 vs. Mavs
    Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) will remain sidelined for Game 5 against Dallas on Wednesday.

    Advice: Unsurprisingly, Leonard has been ruled out for Game 5, though the situation isn’t as bleak as many expected. The Clippers have won the two games that he hasn’t played in, and they were able to reclaim home court advantage in Game 4. They won’t force Kawhi back out on the court if he isn’t 100%, which means that Amir Coffey should remain in the starting unit. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:04 pm
     
  • Khris Middleton, Patrick Beverley available Tues.
    Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) and Patrick Beverley (right oblique muscle strain) will play in Game 5 against the Pacers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Both players were initially listed as probable and have officially been cleared to play. Beverley will continue to join Middleton in the starting unit, though he only played 21 minutes in their last game. Doc Rivers also leaned heavily on guys like Andre Jackson Jr., AJ Green and Pat Connaughton off the bench. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:51 pm
     
  • Good to go Tuesday
    Middleton (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 agains the Pacers, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Middleton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a right ankle sprain. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) out, Middleton will likely continue to be the focal point of Milwaukee's offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:50 pm
     
  • Joins starting lineup
    Okoro will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Magic, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

    Advice: Jarrett Allen is sitting out with a rib contusion, so the Cavaliers will roll with a smaller lineup. In 42 starts this season, Okoro holds averages of 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 three-pointers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:36 pm
     
  • Kelly Oubre (illness) to play in Game 5 Tuesday
    Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) will play on Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

    Advice: Despite missing the 76ers’ pregame shootaround, Oubre was probable on the initial injury report. He will play in Game 5, with 76ers coach Nick Nurse saying that “it’s a matter of how far he can go” regarding how much Oubre plays. Nicolas Batum and DeAnthony Melton can play additional minutes if Kelly is limited. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:45 pm
     
  • Set to play Tuesday
    Oubre (illness) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Oubre has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with an illness. However, it is possible that the 27-year-old forward sees reduced playing time compared to his 40 minutes in Game 4. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:43 pm
