    • Questionable for Game 5
      Allen (ribs) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Allen has missed the last seven games with a right rib contusion, but with the Cavaliers on the brink of elimination, they will hope to bring the big man back. If Allen is out, Evan Mobley will likely continue to start at center, with Isaac Okoro slotting in at power forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:41 pm
       
    • Donovan Mitchell (calf) questionable for Game 5
      Donovan Mitchell (left calf strain) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Trailing the Celtics by three games to one, getting their best player back would help the Cavaliers immensely. Mitchell did not play in Monday’s Game 4 defeat, with Caris LeVert replacing him in the starting lineup. However, with LeVert (knee) also questionable, the Cavaliers could be without two of its top scorers for Game 5. Max Strus and Sam Merrill also became more important contributors with Mitchell sidelined on Monday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:36 pm
       
    • Iffy for Game 5
      Mitchell (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Mitchell is in danger of missing his second straight contest due to a left calf strain he suffered in Game 3. Caris LeVert started in Mitchell's absence Monday and played well but aggravated a lingering knee injury and is also questionable for Game 5. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:34 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable for Game 5 Weds.
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Injured during Cleveland’s first-round series against Orlando, Allen has missed the team’s last seven games with a rib contusion. His absence has shifted Evan Mobley into the starting center position, with Isaac Okoro filling the void in the starting lineup. Expect that to be the case if Allen cannot play in Game 5, with Dean Wade also experiencing an increase in playing time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Darius Garland drops 30 in Game 4 loss to Boston
      Darius Garland led Cleveland with 30 points (12-of-27 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and four triples in a 109-102 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 on Monday.

      Advice: Cleveland had to play this game without Donovan Mitchell, who was sidelined with a calf injury. That meant that Garland was going to be asked to do a lot more, and he rose to the occasion. It wasn’t enough for them to get the win, but he had by far his best game of this postseason. If Mitchell remains sidelined for Game 5 on Wednesday, Garland will once again have to orchestrate Cleveland’s offense like he did in this game. This has been a disappointing playoff run for Garland, but this was an encouraging performance that showed that he can still shine when he needs to. Rotoworld Monday, 7:24 pm
       
    • Leads offensively in Game 4 loss
      Garland accumulated 30 points (12-27 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 109-102 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Garland led all Cavaliers in scoring while connecting on a quartet of threes, handing out a team-high-tying assist total and adding a pair of steals in a well-rounded Game 4 against the Celtics. Garland, playing with more weight on his shoulders to lead the short-handed Cavaliers offensively, posted his highest scoring total of the postseason thus far. He has recorded at least 14 points and four assists in all four games against Boston in the semifinals. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:15 pm
       
    • Jaylen Brown puts up 27 points, Boston goes up 3-1
      Jaylen Brown lit up the Cavaliers with 27 points (9-of-15 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, two triples and five turnovers on Monday.

      Advice: Aside from a “subpar” performance in their Game 2 loss, Brown has been fantastic this series. He has now scored at least 25 points in five games this postseason, three of which have been in this series. The Jays have been unstoppable, and there’s no reason to think that they won’t stay hot in Game 5 with the series shifting back to Boston. Securing this win will give them a chance to close out the series at home on Wednesday and make a return to the conference finals for the third straight year and the fourth time in the last five years. The difference this time is that the Heat won’t be their opponent. Rotoworld Monday, 7:02 pm
       
    • Shines offensively in Game 4 win
      Brown amassed 27 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Monday's 109-102 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Brown was part of a dominant pairing alongside Jayson Tatum, leading Boston offensively en route to helping the team take a 3-1 series advantage. Brown connected on a pair of threes while ending as one of two players with 25 or more points in the victory, also finishing two rebounds shy of a double-double. Brown has turned his game up a notch over the last two games against Cleveland, posting at least 25 points and eight boards in two straight outings. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:01 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) out again for Game 4 Monday
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) will remain sidelined for Game 4 against Boston on Monday.

      Advice: Allen will miss a seventh straight game on Monday due to this rib contusion, which means that Isaac Okoro will remain in the starting unit. They will be extremely short-handed, with Donovan Mitchell also sidelined, so they will have to rely on big games from Darius Garland and Evan Mobley in order to have a chance.
