    • Records five assists in Game 5
      Haliburton tallied 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in Tuesday's 121-91 loss to the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Haliburton's five assists tied with T.J. McConnell for most on the Pacers in Game 5 on Tuesday. Haliburton failed to reach 20 points after doing so over the past three games, though he managed to contribute on the defensive end of the floor, recording two blocks for the first time this postseason. Haliburton is averaging 18.5 points on 48.1 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.3 steals across 35.3 minutes per game in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:33 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton limited to 13 points in Game 5
      Tyrese Haliburton played 34 minutes in Tuesday’s 121-91 loss to the Knicks, accumulating 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: After playing at a high level in Games 2 through 4, Haliburton was held in check on Tuesday. New York’s lineup change was a factor, with Miles McBride replacing Precious Achiuwa. Not only did this help the Knicks on offense, but it also allowed them to use McBride to pester Haliburton. The All-Star point guard only attempted nine shots in Game 5, which cannot happen if the Pacers are to win this series. Game 6 is on Friday in Indianapolis. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:41 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) available Tuesday
      Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms, sacral contusion, right ankle sprain) is available for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Knicks.

      Advice: As expected, Haliburton is available for Game 5. The Pacers will stick with their preferred starting five, as Haliburton is joined by Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, and Myles Turner. The series is tied at 2-all. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:40 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 5
      Haliburton (back/ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.

      Advice: Haliburton has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with lower back spasms, a sacral contusion, and a right ankle sprain. The star guard has been scorching the nets from the outside against New York, as he is converting 45.2 percent of his 10.5 three-point attempts per contest over the first four games of the series.

    • 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
       
    • Won't play Monday
      Mitchell (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Mitchell had been stellar over his last six postseason appearances, averaging 35.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 35.3 minutes. However, he suffered a strained left calf during Game 3 and will be sidelined for a critical matchup in Cleveland. With Mitchell out, Caris LeVert may slide into the starting lineup at shooting guard, while Isaac Okoro, Sam Merrill and Marcus Morris are also candidates for increased offensive roles.

    • Woj: Donovan Mitchell (calf) ruled out for Game 4
      Donovan Mitchell (left calf strain) has been ruled out for Game 4 against Boston on Monday.

      Advice: Mitchell’s calf started bothering him in Game 3, and now Cleveland will have to play Game 4 without their star player. This is a massive loss for the Cavs, who will have to try to defend homecourt without Spida, who is averaging 31.7 points per game in this series. Caris LeVert should start in his place, but everyone will have to step up for them to have a chance. Rotoworld Monday, 3:05 pm
       
    • Considered questionable
      Haliburton is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks due to low back spasms, a sacral contusion and a right ankle sprain.

      Advice: Despite all the injuries, Haliburton has been spectacular over the last three games, averaging 29.7 points, 7.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 33.7 minutes. Though he sported a major limp following Sunday's Game 4 win, the All-Star is likely more probable than questionable heading into Game 5, but his official availability will likely be a game-time decision.
