    Murray (calf) will play in Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) out for Game 7 on Sunday
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

    Advice: Porter’s continued absence will not impact the Cavaliers’ rotation, as he has not played since the regular season finale. Even if he were healthy, starters Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell will log heavy minutes as Cleveland looks to avoid another first-round exit. Rotoworld Today, 2:41 pm
     
  • Gary Harris (hamstring) questionable for Game 7
    Gary Harris (right hamstring strain) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: After injuring his hamstring during Tuesday’s Game 5 loss to the Cavaliers, Harris did not play in Game 6 on Friday. Jonathan Isaac returned to the starting lineup, making Orlando the first team in postseason history to start four players listed as 6-foot-10 or taller. Isaac did not score in Game 6, but he did grab nine rebounds in 23 minutes on the court. Rotoworld Today, 2:39 pm
     
  • Jarrett Allen (ribs) questionable for Game 7 Sun.
    Jarrett Allen (right rib contusion) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

    Advice: Allen missed Games 5 and 6 of this series, with the Cavaliers initially considering him questionable for both. If he cannot play in Game 7, who fills the void in the starting lineup is up in the air. While Isaac Okoro was tabbed to do so in Game 5, Marcus Morris Sr. received the starting nod for Game 6.

  • Out again Sunday
    Porter (ankle) will not play in Sunday's Game 7 against the Magic.

    Advice: This will be the seventh game in a row on the shelf for Porter, and he remains without a timetable for a return. Rotowire.com Today, 2:36 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 7
    Allen (ribs) is questionable to play in Sunday's Game 7 against the Magic.

    Advice: Allen has missed the last two games of the series while dealing with a rib injury, and the questionable tag doesn't shed a lot of light regarding his potential availability for the series finale. The Cavaliers need Allen to be at his best, though, as he's an influential piece of the team on both ends of the court. Allen is averaging 17.0 points, 13.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in the first-round series against Orlando through four appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:35 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 7
    Harris (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: After suffering his hamstring injury in Game 5, Harris missed his first game of the series on Friday in Game 6. If the veteran is unable to suit up Sunday, Jonathan Isaac could potentially make another start due to his defensive versatility. Rotowire.com Today, 2:34 pm
     
  • Expected to play Saturday
    Denver coach Michael Malone said he expects Murray (calf) to play in Saturday's Game 1 versus Minnesota, but he remains a game-time call, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Advice: Murray will go through his usual warmup for Game 1, and if he gets through it without any setbacks, he should be all set to take the court. Murray was terrific in the previous round against the Lakers, posting 23.6 points and 7.2 assists per game. Rotowire.com Today, 2:25 pm
