  • Ruled out for Game 5
    Antetokounmpo (calf) will not play in Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Pacers, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

    Advice: No surprise here, as Antetokounmpo was initially carrying a doubtful tag. Damian Lillard (Achilles) will also be held out Tuesday, leaving the Bucks in rough shape as they try to avoid elimination. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:45 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Game 5
    Allen (ribs) won't play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Magic, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Allen has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to a right rib contusion he suffered in Game 4. Isaac Okoro will replace him in the starting lineup, with Damian Jones and Tristan Thompson candidates to receive increased playing time off the bench. Allen's next chance to suit up is Game 6 on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:35 pm
     
  • Jarrett Allen ruled out, Isaac Okoro to start
    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) has been ruled out for Game 5 on Tuesday against the Magic, which will allow Isaac Okoro to start in his place.

    Advice: With Allen sidelined, Evan Mobley will shift over to center, with Okoro entering the starting unit. Mobley has had a solid series, but he’ll have to really step up with Allen out of the rotation. Tristan Thompson will likely also be forced into extra minutes behind Mobley.

  • Good to go Tuesday
    Sims (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 agains the 76ers.

    Advice: Sims has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite right shoulder inflammation. However, the 25-year-old big man has yet to receive any playing time in the first four games of the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:48 pm
     
  • Good to go Tuesday
    Robinson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Robinson has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Game 4 with a left ankle sprain. Robinson will likely continue to split time with Precious Achiuwa as the backup center to Isaiah Hartenstein. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:37 pm
     
  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) active for Game 5 Tues.
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is available for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson is back after missing Sunday’s Game 4 victory. He will occupy his usual place in the rotation, serving as Isaiah Hartenstein’s backup. How much Robinson plays remains to be seen, especially with the OG Anunoby/Precious Achiuwa tandem being so effective in defending Joel Embiid during the fourth quarter of Game 4.

  • Will play in Game 5
    Embiid (knee/migraine) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.

    Advice: Embiid has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left knee injury and a migraine. The superstar big man has averaged 35.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 40.3 minutes across the first four games of the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:34 pm
     
  • Joel Embiid (knee/migraine) available Tuesday
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery, migraine) is available for Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Knicks.

    Advice: Embiid, who has been dealing with multiple injuries during this series, will play on Tuesday as the 76ers look to keep their season alive. If the reigning MVP experiences any complications with his knee, Paul Reed will take on an increased workload. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:31 pm
     
  • Likely out multiple games
    Porzingis (calf) is expected to miss a minimum of several games, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Porzingis has already been ruled out for Game 5 against Miami on Wednesday due to a right soleus strain, but it now appears that he will be headed toward an extended absence. It seems unlikely that Porzingis will return to action for the remainder of Boston's first-round series and could be kept out longer if the team continues to advance in the playoffs. With the 28-year-old big man sidelined, Al Horford should slide into the starting lineup, with Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman competing for bench minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:37 pm
