  • Joel Embiid (knee/migraine) questionable Tuesday
    Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery and migraine) is listed as questionable for the 76ers’ Tuesday matchup with the Knicks.

    Advice: It’s not surprising that Embiid’s nagging knee injury is on the injury report, but his migraine is a new designation. He did not report to shootaround on Tuesday morning and Paul Reed will be first in line for a heavier workload if Embiid is ruled out. Rotoworld Today, 7:34 am
     
  • Probable with illness
    Oubre (illness) is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Oubre did not attend the morning shootaround, but the 76ers are still expecting him to play Tuesday evening. Oubre was sharp in Game 4, producing 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 7:31 am
     
  • Misses shootaround Tuesday
    Embiid (knee) sat out of Tuesday's shootaround due to a migraine, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

    Advice: There's been no change to his status for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Knicks, so Embiid remains questionable to play due to his left knee soreness. Despite the questionable tag, it would be a major surprise if Embiid was held out with Philadelphia's season on the line. Rotowire.com Today, 7:29 am
     
  • Kelly Oubre (illness) probable Tuesday vs. Knicks
    Kelly Oubre (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday’s 76ers-Knicks game.

    Advice: Oubre didn’t go through shootaround on Tuesday morning because of an illness but is expected to play in Game 5. Rotoworld Today, 7:27 am
     
  • Barely noticeable Monday
    Love amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in six minutes during Monday's 102-88 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Love logged just six minutes, failing to have any sort of real impact against an impressive Celtics squad. At this point in his career, Love doesn't have enough in the tank to provide Miami with meaningful production. As has been the case for the last years, Love will not be a viable fantasy option next season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:47 pm
     
  • Fails to score in three minutes
    Robinson finished Monday's 102-88 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over three minutes.

    Advice: Robinson hit rock bottom in the loss, failing to score in just three minutes of playing time. It's a far cry from what he was doing during the regular season and highlights just how unimpactful he can be. The Heat will now head back to Boston where they will attempt to extend the series beyond five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:45 pm
     
  • 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
     
  • Increased role Monday
    Horford supplied seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 102-88 win over the Heat in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Horford was forced into an increased role Monday, thanks to a calf injury to Kristaps Porzingis. While initial reports indicate that Porzingis has avoided anything serious, there is certainly a chance he will miss at least the next game. Should that be the case, Horford would likely slide into the starting lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:41 pm
     
  • Modest production again
    Holiday chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 102-88 win over the Heat in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Holiday continues to put up mediocre stats, something that has been a trend all season long. He has had to take a back seat since arriving in Boston, especially on the offensive end. With that said, the Celtics recently signed him to a sizeable contract extension, highlighting just how important he is to the team despite the lack of tangible numbers.
