  • Sidelined for Game 4
    Porter (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Porter has missed 11 consecutive contests due to a sprained left ankle. Even if healthy, Porter likely wouldn't factor into the rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:51 pm
     
  • Still out
    Jerome (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against Boston.

    Advice: Jerome hasn't suited up since October due to a right ankle injury that required surgery. Even if he were to return at some point during the playoffs, he likely wouldn't be part of the Cavs' rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:49 pm
     
  • Donovan Mitchell (calf) questionable for Game 4
    Donovan Mitchell (left calf strain) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Mitchell played 43 minutes in Saturday’s Game 3 loss and injured his calf in the process. His injury is especially concerning for a team that was already down one starter (Jarrett Allen). If Mitchell cannot play on Monday, Caris LeVert is the player who will have to step up. Also, the Cavaliers will need more production from Darius Garland. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:45 pm
     
  • Iffy for Game 4
    Mitchell is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against Boston with a strained left calf, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Advice: Mitchell seemingly picked up the injury during Cleveland's Game 3 loss, when he generated 33 points in 43 minutes of action. With Jarrett Allen (rib) also questionable, the Cavaliers could find themselves rather shorthanded for Monday's tilt. If Mitchell can't go, Caris LeVert would likely enter the first unit, while Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill could see more minutes off the bench. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:44 pm
     
  • Deemed questionable for Game 4
    Doncic is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against Oklahoma City with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Doncic lands a questionable tag for a second straight game as he battles a slew of injuries. Despite being banged up, Doncic has played at least 39 minutes in every playoff game, averaging 27.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.4 steals per contest. Recent history strongly suggests Doncic will continue to push through, but if he's unable to go in Game 4, Dante Exum and Jaden Hardy would likely take on expanded roles.

  • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) available Sunday
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, right ankle sprain) is active for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Knicks.

    Advice: There is no surprise here, as Haliburton has played through the back issues since the first round. He rolled his ankle on a layup attempt during Friday’s Game 3 victory and is also dealing with a sacral contusion, but none of this will keep the Pacers point guard off the court. Indiana still trails New York by two games to one. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:57 am
     
  • Available for Game 4
    Haliburton (back/ankle) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks, Tony East of SI.com reports.

    Advice: Haliburton will play through multiple injuries Sunday, as he's dealing with low back spasms, a right ankle sprain and a sacral contusion. Despite the injuries, Haliburton has played 35 or more minutes in each game this series and has topped 30 points in back-to-back contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:56 am
     
  • Strong offensive showing
    Holiday logged 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block in 38 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 win over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Holiday was aggressive from the get-go, looking to score from the opening tip. Although he ended with just 18 points, the bulk of those came in the first half, keeping the Celtics on the front foot. Now leading 2-1 in the series, Boston will look to repeat this performance Monday before heading home for Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:30 am
     
  • Jrue Holiday enjoys scoring ‘binge’ with 18 points
    Jrue Holiday finished with 18 points (7-of-10 FG), eight rebounds, five assists, a block and three triples across 38 minutes in Saturday’s win over Cleveland.

    Advice: Holiday averaged 12.5 points per game in the regular season (fewest since his rookie campaign), and he scored in single figures in four of seven in the playoffs leading up to Saturday’s Game 3 victory. The 18 points are his most through eight games in this season’s playoffs, and though he hasn’t been much of a factor on offense, he’s been getting it done consistently as a defender and facilitator. The two-way stud will look to keep it up Monday as the Celtics face the Cavs in Game 4. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:15 pm
