  • Pops for nine points in loss
    Mills closed Monday's 102-88 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in 22 minutes.

    Advice: Mills played a few extra minutes in the loss as the Heat fell to the Celtics in Game 4. Although they managed to win away from home in Game 2, there is a decent chance this series will come to an end Wednesday. Beyond this season, it's hard to see Mills having any sustainable fantasy value. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:43 pm
     
  • Patrick Beverley (oblique) probable Tuesday
    Patrick Beverley (right oblique muscle strain) is listed as probable for the Bucks’ Tuesday game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Beverley will likely continue starting at point guard with Damian Lillard listed as doubtful for Game 5. He’s struggled to match his Game 1 production against Indiana. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:58 pm
     
  • Dealing with oblique strain
    Beverley is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers due to a right oblique strain.

    Advice: Beverley has scored in double figures only once through the first four matchups of the opening-round series, averaging 7.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals-plus-blocks in 33.5 minutes per game. The veteran played only 21 minutes during Sunday's Game 4 loss, so he may be limited even if he suits up Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:37 pm
     
  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) out Tuesday vs. Magic
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is listed as out for Tuesday’s Cavaliers-Magic matchup.

    Advice: Porter still hasn’t recovered from the ankle injury he suffered at the end of the regular season. He’s set to miss his fifth consecutive playoff game on Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:07 pm
     
  • Still out
    Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Magic.

    Advice: Porter has yet to suit up during the postseason due to a left ankle sprain. Even when he's healthy, the undrafted rookie isn't guaranteed minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:37 pm
     
  • Delon Wright (personal) available Monday
    Delon Wright (personal reasons) is available for Monday’s matchup with Miami.

    Advice: Wright sat out Game 3, but he’ll be back in action after just one game on the sidelines. Expect him to handle a typical workload in Game 4. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:58 am
     
  • Cleared to play Monday
    Wright (personal) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: As expected, Wright, who missed Miami's Game 3 loss for the birth of his daughter, has been upgraded from probable to available. In Game 1, Wright posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench, but he was a non-factor in Game 2. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:51 am
     
  • Takes on increased role in Game 4
    Green tallied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Bucks' 126-113 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the series.

    Advice: After missing the final two games of the regular season with a left ankle sprain, Green was fully cleared ahead of the Bucks' first-round playoff matchup and has been included in the rotation in each of the first four contests of the series. He received his biggest workload yet Sunday, as the Bucks opened up more minutes in the backcourt for Green, Malik Beasley and Andre Jackson while Damian Lillard (Achilles) joined Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) in street clothes and Bobby Portis was ejected in the first quarter. Lillard's status for Tuesday's Game 5 has yet to be determined, so Green could be in store for another 20-plus-minute role if Lillard is sidelined once again. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:53 am
     
  • Gets light role in return
    Melton (back) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in seven minutes Sunday in the 76ers' 97-92 loss to the Knicks in Game 4 of the first-round playoff series.

    Advice: After missing the first two games of the playoffs due to back injury recovery and then not leaving the bench in Game 3 in a coach's decision, Melton made his series debut Sunday. Melton didn't make much of an impact during his limited time on the floor, and he's uncertain to be included in the rotation in Game 5 on Tuesday, when the 76ers will look to stave off elimination.
