  • Available for Game 2
    Jovic (back) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics.

    Advice: Jovic was a late addition to the injury report due to a minor back issue, but as expected, he's been upgraded from probable to available. He posted 10 points, six rebounds and a block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 114-94 Game 1 loss. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Nikola Jovic (back) will play in Game 2 Wednesday
    Nikola Jovic (back discomfort/spasm) will play against Boston in Game 2 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Jovic was initially listed as probable, and he has now officially been cleared to suit up in this one. He logged 26 minutes in Game 1 and had 10 points and six rebounds. He should continue to start in this game. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
     
  • Questionable for Thursday
    Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Game 3 versus the 76ers on Thursday.

    Advice: Robinson logged 30 minutes off the bench during New York's Game 1 win, but he was limited to just 18 minutes during Game 2, so perhaps his ankle was bothering him. We'll have a better idea of Robinson's playing status based on his activity level following Thursday's shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims would have the opportunity to get into the rotation.

  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable for Game 3
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 3 against Philadelphia on Thursday.

    Advice: Robinson hasn’t been on the injury report lately, though it isn’t shocking that he is still managing this ankle injury that forced him to miss nearly four months. If he has to sit out against the 76ers, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims may have to return to the rotation. Rotoworld Today, 2:35 pm
     
  • Joel Embiid (knee) deemed questionable Thursday
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play against New York in Game 3 on Thursday.

    Advice: Though Embiid will continue to manage this knee injury, he isn’t going to sit out during the playoffs because of it. They’re down 0-2, and they’ll need a big performance out of him with the series shifting to Philadelphia. Rotoworld Today, 1:38 pm
     
  • Considered questionable for Game 3
    Embiid is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.

    Advice: Embiid played 37 and 39 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the series and totaled 63 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and a block during those contests. Despite the prolific stats, he hasn't looked 100 percent at times, but it'd be surprising if the reigning MVP didn't try to gut it out with his team facing a two-game deficit.

  • Still not scrimmaging
    Antetokounmpo (calf) has started doing stationary jump shooting but still isn't running or cutting as of Wednesday, Shams Charania reported on FanDuel's Run It Back.

    Advice: Damian Lillard had another stellar first-half performance in Game 2 but couldn't keep the Bucks close in the second half as the Pacers evened the series. Antetokounmpo's status for Game 3 on Friday likely won't be known until Thursday afternoon, but Charania suggests Milwaukee should be preparing to play without Antetokounmpo again. The MVP candidate has missed five straight games dating back to the regular season and hasn't played since April 9. However, if Antetokounmpo gets the green light, it's safe to expect he'll handle as many minutes as necessary in an attempt to keep the Bucks' postseason hopes alive.

  • Dealing with minor back issue
    Jovic is probable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics due to back discomfort/spasms.

    Advice: Jovic is still expected to suit up despite being a late addition to the injury report. He posted 10 points, six rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during the 114-94 Game 1 loss and has started 29 straight appearances dating back to the regular season.

  • Sees 21 minutes in win
    Lively contributed seven points (2-5 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Daniel Gafford started this game, but he was ineffective in just nine minutes of action and left the game briefly due to a back injury. Lively had more success, obviously, but he didn't get a ton of burn either, as Maxi Kleber and P.J. Washington soaked up the bulk of the frontcourt minutes. The logjam at center is far from ideal for fantasy purposes for both Gafford and Lively. Rotowire.com Today, 8:09 am
