  • Khris Middleton (ankle) available for Game 4 Sun.
    Khris Middleton (right ankle sprain) is available for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

    Advice: Middleton was initially probable for Game 4, so the status upgrade was expected. The Bucks are without Damian Lillard (Achilles) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) are out, so they will need high-level production from Middleton if they’re to even the series at two games apiece.

  • Paul George tallies 33 points, seven 3-pointers
    Paul George shot 11-of-19 from the field and 4-of-7 from the foul line in Sunday’s 116-111 win over the Mavericks, scoring 33 points with six rebounds, eight assists, four steals, one block, and seven 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

    Advice: With Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, the Clippers desperately needed George to bounce back from a brutal Game 3 performance. That’s precisely what happened: he scored 26 points in the first half as the Clippers led by as much as 31. Dallas rallied, eventually taking the lead during the fourth quarter, but George made a seemingly improbable corner 3-pointer to help seal the deal. The Clippers head home tied at two games apiece, with Game 5 scheduled for Wednesday night. Rotoworld Today, 3:30 pm
     
  • Iffy for Monday
    Robinson-Earl is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.

    Advice: It's unclear when Robinson-Earl suffered the injury, as he's played only five minutes across the first three games of the opening-round series and didn't see any action during Saturday's Game 3 loss. If Robinson-Earl is ruled out, his absence shouldn't impact the Pelicans' rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm
     
  • Remains out, but making progress
    Williamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder.

    Advice: There was optimism that Williamson could return at some point in the postseason if New Orleans advanced, and that remains true as coach Willie Green said Sunday morning the superstar forward was cleared for stationary basketball drills, per Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans. However, Williamson still isn't running and remains out while rehabbing a left hamstring strain he suffered during the team's first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers. The Pelicans season will be on the line Monday, so the positive update on Williamson may be for naught. Rotowire.com Today, 2:40 pm
     
  • Jeremiah Robinson-Earl questionable for Monday
    Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Monday’s Game 4 against the Thunder.

    Advice: Robinson-Earl was unavailable for Game 3 on Saturday, but his absence did not impact the Pelicans rotation. He’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact DFS tournaments if available for Game 4. Rotoworld Today, 2:39 pm
     
  • Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) will not return Sunday
    Bojan Bogdanovic (left ankle contusion) will not return to Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: Already dealing with a left wrist injury, Bogdanovic was in the game for seconds before Nicolas Batum collided with his left leg while diving for a loose ball. As a result, Bogdanovic will not play again on Sunday afternoon. Miles McBride will play more minutes off the bench as the Knicks look to manage being without three rotation players due to injury.

  • Won't return Sunday
    Bogdanovic (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.

    Advice: Bogdanovic played just one minute before suffering a left foot contusion and didn't record any counting stats. He is also dealing with ligament damage in his left wrist but was expected to play through that injury. Bogdanovic's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday when the series shifts back to New York for Game 5. Rotowire.com Today, 11:38 am
     
  • Questionable to return
    Bogdanovic is questionable to return to Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers due to a left foot contusion, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Advice: Bogdanovic played just one minute and didn't record any counting stats before suffering the injury with 11:41 remaining in the second quarter. The sharpshooter has been playing through left wrist ligament damage during the opening-round series, and he's struggled to make an impact, averaging only 8.0 points in 16.3 minutes over the first three games.

  • Out indefinitely
    Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks and will be sidelined indefinitely, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Due to inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee, Leonard missed the Clippers' Game 1 win, which allowed Amir Coffey to draw a start. The superstar returned for Game 2 and posted 15 points (7-17 FG), seven rebounds and four steals in 35 minutes during the loss. He played only 25 minutes during Los Angeles Game 3 loss and finished with nine points (4-7 FG) and nine rebounds. Clippers president Lawrence Frank said shutting Leonard down was a move the organization made to ensure Leonard's future health, per Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News.
