    • Probable ahead of Game 5
      Doncic (thoracic contusion) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals versus the Celtics.

      Advice: Doncic has been a mainstay on the injury report in the playoffs, but with the Mavericks' NBA Finals hopes in jeopardy, his status seems to be nothing more than precautionary. Through four NBA Finals games, the All-Star is averaging 29.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.5 steals across 37.8 minutes. Doncic has struggled from deep, shooting just 25.0 percent from three. However, he is still shooting an efficient 47.0 percent from the field this series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:34 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 5
      Porzingis (lower leg) is questionable for Monday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals versus the Mavericks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Porzingis is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive game with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. The big man played in the first two games of the NBA Finals, accumulating 32 points, 10 rebounds, five blocks and an assist while shooting 12-for-20 from the field. Prior to Game 4, head coach Joe Mazulla said that Porzingis is not 100 percent and he will only play if the Celtics desperately need him, which may not end up being the case with the team still holding a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5 at home. If Porzingis remains sidelined, Al Horford and Xavier Tillman will continue seeing increased playing time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:09 pm
       
    • Scores 29 despite shooting woes
      Doncic accumulated 29 points (12-26 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 122-84 win over Boston in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

      Advice: Doncic had another rough showing from a shooting perspective, needing 26 shots to score 29 points and missing all eight of his three-point attempts, but he still led Dallas in scoring as the Mavericks kept themselves alive for at least one more game. Doncic has surpassed the 25-point mark in 11 consecutive games during the current playoff run and is expected to play a prominent role for the Mavericks in Game 5 of the series Monday, as he'll probably have to lead the team again if the Mavericks are to pull off an upset at TD Garden.

    • Kristaps Porzingis (leg) a DNP-CD in Game 4 loss
      Kristaps Porzingis (left posterior tibialis dislocation) did not play in Friday’s 122-84 loss to the Mavericks.

      Advice: Porzingis was cleared to play after sitting out Game 3. However, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said during his pregame availability that he would only play in “very specific instances,” so the chances of KP seeing action were slim. With Game 4 getting out of hand by the end of the first quarter, there was no reason for Mazzulla to consider inserting Porzingis. Game 5 is on Monday night, with Porzingis’ availability impacting Al Horford and Xavier Tillman if he’s allowed to play. Rotoworld Friday, 8:30 pm
       
    • Jrue Holiday commits five turnovers in Game 4 rout
      Jrue Holiday logged 29 minutes in Friday’s 122-84 loss to Dallas, tallying 10 points (4-of-10 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one block, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: Like many of his teammates, Holiday had a brutal night in Dallas. While the shooting numbers were respectable, the veteran guard was responsible for a team-high five turnovers. Holiday did not commit a single turnover in the series’ first three games. While he wasn’t as secure with the basketball as in prior games, Dallas deserves some credit for its improved effort on the defensive end of the floor. Backcourt partner Derrick White also struggled in Game 4, finishing with six points (2-of-8 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, and two 3-pointers in 31 minutes. Game 5 is on Monday in Boston.

    • Luka Doncic scores 29 despite off night from three
      Luka Doncic shot 12-of-26 from the field and 5-of-7 from the foul line in Friday’s 122-84 win over the Celtics, accounting for 29 points, five rebounds, five assists, and three steals in 33 minutes.

      Advice: After receiving significant criticism for his play in the aftermath of Dallas’ Game 3 loss on Wednesday, Doncic was better in Game 4. He scored 25 points in the first half, becoming the third-youngest player to score at least 25 or more in the first half of an NBA Finals game. The only two players ahead of Luka on that list are Kyrie Irving (2017) and Hakeem Olajuwon (1986). Doncic missed all eight of his 3-point attempts, but he was nearly unstoppable inside the arc and only committed one turnover. Game 5 is on Monday night in Boston. Rotoworld Friday, 8:02 pm
       
    • Available to play
      Porzingis (lower leg) is available to play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against Dallas on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: After missing Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation, Porzingis was able to warm up without any setbacks and will play through his questionable tag Friday evening. However, coach Joe Mazulla admitted that Porzingis isn't close to 100 percent and that the Celtics will use him sparingly and only if necessary. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:12 pm
       
    • Kristaps Porzingis (leg) available for Game 4 Fri.
      Kristaps Porzingis (left posterior tibialis dislocation) is available for Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: After injuring his left leg during the third quarter of Game 2, Porzingis sat out Wednesday’s Game 3 victory. While his return given the Celtics another option in the frontcourt, DFS players should steer clear. During his pregame availability, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said he would only use Porzingis in “very specific instances.” Mazzulla did not clarify those situations, but it does not appear that Porzingis will reach his Game 2 threshold of 20-25 minutes. Look for Al Horford to continue to play most of the minutes at center. Rotoworld Friday, 4:07 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (chest) available for Game 4 Friday
      Luka Doncic (thoracic contusion) is available for Friday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Doncic was initially probable for Game 4, so the status upgrade was expected. The Mavericks star was limited to 38 minutes in Wednesday’s Game 3 defeat due to foul trouble, as he was disqualified with a little under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. With Dallas’ season on the line, look for Doncic to be at his best. Rotoworld Friday, 4:01 pm
