  • Starting sans Porzingis
    Horford will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Heat.

    Advice: Horford played 34 minutes in Game 4 with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) going down with an injury in the first half. With Porzingis sidelined Wednesday -- and likely longer -- Horford will step into the starting center role, where he's expected to remain until Porzingis returns. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Starting Game 5
    Wright will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Wright will enter the first unit in place of Jaime Jacquez (hip) for just his second start of the season. The guard has been a sizeable part of the rotation throughout the series, averaging 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 25.0 minutes per game and should see an even larger workload Wednesday.

  • MIA starting Wright, Herro, Martin, Jovic, Adebayo
    Delon Wright, Tyler Herro, Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic, and Bam Adebayo will start Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

    Advice: Another injury has forced Miami to change its starting lineup, with Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) joining Terry Rozier (neck) and Jimmy Butler (knee) on the sideline. As a result, Wright moves into the starting lineup for Game 5 as the Heat look to keep their season alive. He’s worth a look in DFS tournaments due to his low price tag, but players should not expect too much production-wise. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
     
  • Probable for Game 6
    Beverley (oblique) is probable for Thursday's Game 6 against Indiana.

    Advice: Beverley is dealing with an oblique injury once again, but he played through the issue in Tuesday's Game 5 and tallied 13 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 36 minutes. Damian Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup, so if Beverley is available, he'll likely have plenty of chances to contribute. Rotowire.com Today, 2:36 pm
     
  • Jericho Sims (shoulder) active Thursday vs. 76ers
    Jericho Sims (right shoulder inflammation) is listed as active for the Knicks’ Thursday matchup against the 76ers.

    Advice: Sims hasn’t played in the playoffs yet and isn’t likely to be a factor in Game 6. Rotoworld Today, 2:14 pm
     
  • Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable Thursday
    Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for Thursday’s Knicks-76ers game.

    Advice: Mitchell Robinson is on the injury report after his defensive masterclass in Game 5. The Knicks big man amassed three steals and two blocks. It appears like he could split New York’s center minutes down the middle with Isaiah Hartenstein if he’s healthy for Game 6. Rotoworld Today, 2:07 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 6
    Robinson (ankle) is questionable ahead of Thursday's Game 6 matchup with the 76ers.

    Advice: Robinson missed Game 4 due to an ankle issue but returned for Game 5 and logged 25 minutes. The big man has averaged 3.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in 21.3 minutes during the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Held to three points
    LeVert posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and two steals in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 104-103 win over Orlando in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: LeVert is in the midst of a tough series, and although the Cavaliers were missing Jarrett Allen (ribs), the team opted to turn to Isaac Okoro and Marcus Morris rather than LeVert. Through five games, the guard has averaged only 7.2 points, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers on 33.3 percent shooting. Rotowire.com Today, 8:17 am
     
  • Steps up for Cleveland
    Morris finished Tuesday's 104-103 victory over Orlando in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes.

    Advice: The Cavaliers were missing Jarrett Allen (ribs), and while Isaac Okoro drew the start, Morris stepped into the rotation and made a massive impact. Morris had a total of 15 minutes in this series before Tuesday, so credit to him for staying ready. For now, it remains unclear if Allen will be ready to return for Game 6 in Orlando on Friday.
