    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable for Game 2
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is questionable to play in Game 2 against Boston on Thursday.

      Advice: Allen missed the final three games of round one and the first game of round two, with Isaac Okoro starting in his place for three of his four absences. Okoro should continue to start in Game 2 if Allen remains sidelined, though he will be pushed to a reserve role if Allen is able to suit up. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:39 pm
       
    • Listed as questionable again
      Allen (ribs) is questionable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Despite a negative in-game report from TNT's broadcast saying Allen wasn't able to do much in recent practices and was having trouble sleeping due to the rib injury, coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after the Game 1 loss that the Cavaliers' starting center is showing signs of progress, per Bobby Manning of the CLNS Media Network. Allen has missed four straight games and was listed as questionable ahead of each contest, so his current status doesn't provide much optimism. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:36 pm
       
    • Puts up 33 points in Game 1 loss
      Mitchell produced 33 points (12-25 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Mitchell carried the momentum he had from his epic Game 7 performance against the Magic on Sunday and surpassed the 30-point mark for the third straight game. However, the rest of his teammates didn't step up, and the Cavaliers suffered a devastating 25-point loss in the series opener. Mitchell should continue to post excellent numbers as the Cavaliers' go-to player on offense -- by a wide margin -- but there's a chance his mighty performances might not translate into wins as happened against the Magic in the previous round.

    • Donovan Mitchell scores 33 points in blowout loss
      Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 33 points (12-of-25 FGs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and four triples in a 120-95 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 on Tuesday.

      Advice: This was Mitchell’s third straight game with at least 30 points, but it didn’t end up mattering in the end. Mitchell did most of his scoring in the first quarter (14) and third quarter (16), but he didn’t add much in the second and fourth quarter, which lined up with Cleveland’s offensive struggles. Mitchell was able to provide plenty of offense, but he’ll need help if the Cavaliers want to pull off the upset in this series. If things continue to go this poorly, trade rumors will heat up quickly after their season ends. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:30 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) out Tuesday vs. Celtics
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s Cavaliers-Celtics matchup

      Advice: Allen is set to miss a third consecutive contest after suffering a rib injury against Orlando in the first round. Evan Mobley will play more minutes at center while Isaac Okoro, Marcus Morris, and Tristan Thomson get a shot to be a larger part of the frontcourt rotation. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:41 pm
       
    • Won't play Tuesday
      Allen (ribs) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

      Advice: Allen will miss his fourth straight contest Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to a right rib contusion. Isaac Okoro will continue to start in his absence. Allen's next chance to suit up is Game 2 on Thursday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable for Game 1
      Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is questionable to play in Game 1 against Boston on Tuesday.

      Advice: Allen missed the final three games of round one, with Isaac Okoro starting twice and Marcus Morris starting once. Okoro started Game 7, so he should start again if Allen is forced to miss the start of this series. Rotoworld Monday, 2:38 pm
       
    • Iffy for Game 1
      Allen (ribs) is questionable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics.

      Advice: Allen averaged 17.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.8 minutes through the first four games of Cleveland's opening-round series versus the Magic. However, after taking a shot to the ribs from Franz Wagner, the Cavaliers' starting center was sidelined for the final three matchups. Allen was also listed as questionable ahead of all the games he missed, so the tag doesn't provide much optimism heading into the Eastern Conference Semifinals. If Allen gets the green light, he'll look to take advantage of a Boston frontcourt that'll be without Kristaps Porzingis (calf). Rotowire.com Monday, 2:34 pm
       
    • Carries Cleveland to Game 7 win
      Mitchell finished Sunday's 106-94 win over the Magic in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 39 points (11-27 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 15-17 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 45 minutes.

      Advice: The Cavaliers needed Mitchell to step up and deliver a superstar performance in Game 7 against a rising Orlando team, and that's exactly what he accomplished with this outing. Mitchell had some ups and downs in the series but often stepped his game up when the Cavaliers needed him, something that will be even more needed against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Mitchell averaged 28.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in the first round while putting up at least 28 points in each of the last three contests. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:36 am
