  • Out for Game 6 on Friday
    Hardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 matchup with the Clippers.

    Advice: This will be Hardaway's fourth consecutive game on the sidelines, and his next chance to play will come if a Game 7 is needed on Sunday. Josh Green and Dante Exum will continue to step it up in his absence. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

  • Officially cleared to play
    Middleton (ankle) is available for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Middleton was probable for Thursday's matchup and has officially been cleared to suit up again.

  • Gary Harris (hamstring) questionable Thursday
    Gary Harris (right hamstring strain) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday’s Magic-Cavaliers matchup.

    Advice: Harris didn’t return to the game after suffering an injury in Game 5 but does have a chance to suit up in Game 6. Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony have a chance to take on larger roles if Harris is unable to suit up. Rotoworld Today, 9:36 am
     
  • Deemed game-time call for Game 6
    Harris (hamstring) is considered questionable and a game-time decision for Friday's Game 6 against the Cavaliers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Harris suffered a right hamstring strain during Tuesday's Game 5 against Cleveland, but he participated in the walkthrough portion of Thursday's practice. However, the Magic will still wait to see how he feels in the hours leading up to Friday's tipoff before determining his availability. If he's unable to suit up, Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black could see increased run. Rotowire.com Today, 9:17 am
     
  • Goes for 25 points in Game 5 win
    Brown finished Wednesday's 118-84 victory over Miami in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 25 points (11-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes.

    Advice: Brown was one of two Boston players who reached the 25-point mark Wednesday, with Derrick White being the other, but he didn't do much outside of scoring. Brown scored 20-plus points in three of the five outings in the series against the Heat, and he should continue to play a prominent role on offense in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, regardless of the opponent, especially if Kristaps Porzingis (calf) remains sidelined for a prolonged stretch.

  • Another double-double
    Tatum totaled 16 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 118-84 victory over the Heat in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: There's no doubt that Tatum is the undisputed go-to player on offense for the Celtics, and the star forward can take over a game if needed every time the team needs him to do so. He was active on both ends of the court in the series against the Heat, however, recording four double-doubles in five games while also reaching the 20-point plateau four times. He averaged 21.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game against the Heat and will now aim to lead Boston in the Conference Semifinals, where the Celtics will take on either the Cavaliers or the Magic.

  • Paul George goes quiet, finishes with 15 points
    Paul George shot 4-of-13 from the field and 5-of-6 from the foul line in Wednesday’s Game 5 loss to the Mavericks, tallying 15 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

    Advice: Like James Harden, George struggled after scoring 33 points in the Clippers’ Game 4 win on Sunday. The good news for DFS managers is that he was productive as a rebounder, but the combination of poor shooting and turnovers (three) was too much to overcome. George will need to play better in Game 6 if the Clippers are to ensure that Wednesday’s stinker wasn’t their last as a tenant of Crypto.com Arena. Game 6 is on Friday night in Dallas.
