  • Active for Game 4
    Haliburton (back) is active for Sunday's Game 4 against the Bucks, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Haliburton was a late addition to Sunday's injury report due to bask spasms, but he's on the list of active players for Indiana. Whether he'll have any limitations due to his injury remains to be seen. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) questionable for Game 4
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

    Advice: Haliburton is a late addition to the injury report, which is a concerning turn of events for the Pacers. With Andrew Nembhard already in the starting lineup, Ben Sheppard and T.J. McConnell would pick up additional minutes if Haliburton cannot play. The Pacers’ star point guard has not missed a game since January 28, before Buddy Hield was traded to the 76ers.

  • Dealing with back spasms
    Haliburton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to back spasms, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: Haliburton is a late addition to the injury report due to a back issue that now has his status in question. If he is unable to go, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard will likely get a lot of action at the point. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Reggie Jackson (ankle) probable for Game 5 Monday
    Reggie Jackson (left ankle sprain) is probable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

    Advice: While Jackson was available for Saturday’s Game 4 defeat, he only played nine minutes off the bench. The probable tag suggests he will be cleared for Game 5, and the Nuggets may need even more from Jackson. Jamal Murray is questionable with a strained calf, and Jackson would be the next man up if Denver’s starting point guard cannot play. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Dealing with calf strain
    Murray is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers due to a left calf strain.

    Advice: Murray played 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 loss and posted 22 points (9-23 FG), six rebounds and five assists. However, he appears to have suffered a calf injury during the contest as well. While the Nuggets won the first three matchups of the series, the Lakers have led the majority of every game so far. Reggie Jackson (ankle) is probable for Game 5 and would presumably start at point guard if Murray is ruled out. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Probable for Monday
    Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.

    Advice: Jackson has appeared in the Nuggets' first four playoff matchups, averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 assists in 8.3 minutes per game. While he continues to deal with an ankle issue, he'll likely be able to suit up again Monday. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Jamal Murray (calf) questionable for Game 5 Monday
    Jamal Murray (left calf strain) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Lakers.

    Advice: While Murray’s injury during Saturday’s Game 4 defeat appeared to be a tweak, he has been officially diagnosed with a strained left calf. Denver’s depth is already limited due to a lack of consistent production from the bench, so losing Murray would be a significant development. Reggie Jackson will move into the starting lineup if he cannot play. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Kelly Oubre Jr. scores 19 points in Game 4 loss
    Kelly Oubre Jr. shot 7-of-15 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Sunday’s 97-92 loss to the Knicks, tallying 19 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

    Advice: After scoring 15 points in Philadelphia’s Game 3 victory, Oubre was even more productive in Game 4. Only Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey scored more points among 76ers players, and the Tsunami Papi recorded his second full stat line of the series (Game 2). Given how quiet Tobias Harris has been this series, Oubre has emerged as Philadelphia’s third option on the offensive end of the floor. Unfortunately for the 76ers, they find themselves in a 3-1 hole heading into Game 5 on Tuesday night in New York. Rotoworld Today, 1:28 pm
     
  • Tyrese Maxey finishes Game 4 loss with 23 points
    Tyrese Maxey accounted for 23 points (8-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 43 minutes in Sunday’s Game 4 loss to the Knicks.

    Advice: Maxey and the 76ers are now on the brink of elimination, and his production decreased in Philadelphia’s two home games. After shooting 54% from the field in Games 1 and 2 (68 points), Maxey shot 17-of-42 and scored 48 at home. That isn’t terrible, but the decrease becomes magnified when the “supporting cast” continues to offer limited value. Kyle Lowry (7/5/7 with one 3-pointer) shot 1-of-6 from the field, and Tobias Harris (10 points, eight rebounds) was 4-of-10. Game 5 is on Tuesday in New York, with Philadelphia facing a 3-1 deficit.
