  • Tyrese Haliburton drops 17 points, 10 assists
    Tyrese Haliburton (low back spasms) finished Thursday’s Game 6 win over the Bucks with 17 points (7-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, 10 assists, and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

    Advice: Haliburton only surpassed the 20-point mark once in six games, but the Pacers received enough production throughout the roster to eliminate the shorthanded Bucks in six games. The All-Star point guard hit double figures in assists for the third time in the series, with the Pacers winning all three of those games. Regardless of when the New York/Philadelphia series ends, Indiana won’t play again until Monday night, giving Haliburton and his teammates extra time off. Rotoworld Today, 6:58 pm
     
  • Top distributor in double-double
    Haliburton finished with 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists and six rebounds over 32 minutes in Thursday's 120-98 win over Milwaukee in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

    Advice: Haliburton once again provided an offensive lift for Indiana in a series-clinching victory, leading all players in Thursday's contest in assists while adding a half-dozen rebounds in a double-double performance. Haliburton recorded a double-double in three of the six games in the first round against Milwaukee, finishing with at least 15 points in four straight outings to round out the series. Haliburton, his production and his health will be key to keep an eye on as Indiana advances to the second round and hopes to continue its run in the postseason. Rotowire.com Today, 6:11 pm
     
  • Won't start Thursday
    Beasley is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Advice: Beasley will head to the bench with the return of Damian Lillard to the starting lineup. The veteran guard averaged 19.0 points per game in the two starts he made in the series against the Pacers. Rotowire.com Today, 3:14 pm
     
  • Questionable for Friday
    Mann is questionable for Friday's Game 6 against Dallas due to a right lower leg contusion, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Mann hasn't missed a game since March 20, and he's averaged 8.4 points and 4.8 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game over the Clippers' first five playoff matchups this year. However, it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up due to his lower leg issue. Rotowire.com Today, 2:49 pm
     
  • Terance Mann (leg) questionable for Game 6 Friday
    Terance Mann (right lower leg contusion) is questionable to play in Game 6 against Dallas on Friday.

    Advice: Mann’s potential absence would open up a starting spot, which will likely be filled by Norman Powell. Mann has been an important piece of their starting unit, and it will be difficult to survive in Dallas without Mann and Kawhi Leonard. Rotoworld Today, 2:49 pm
     
  • Kawhi Leonard (knee) still out for Game 6 Friday
    Kawhi Leonard (right knee inflammation) will remain sidelined for Game 6 against the Mavs on Friday.

    Advice: Kawhi will be sidelined once again, and if they aren’t able to win on the road, then Kawhi’s season will be over. Amir Coffey will continue to start in his place, though he only scored three points in 27 minutes in Game 5. Rotoworld Today, 2:48 pm
     
  • Officially deemed questionable
    Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 6 against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Harris was already deemed a game-time decision for Game 6, so his questionable injury label isn't surprising. If the 29-year-old guard is ruled out, Caleb Houstan, Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black are all candidates to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 2:48 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Game 6
    Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 against Dallas, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Leonard continues to deal with a knee injury and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game Friday. If the Clippers win Friday's matchup and force a Game 7, it's unclear whether Leonard would be available for that win-or-go-home matchup. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 pm
     
  • Out for Game 6 on Friday
    Hardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 matchup with the Clippers.

    Advice: This will be Hardaway's fourth consecutive game on the sidelines, and his next chance to play will come if a Game 7 is needed on Sunday. Josh Green and Dante Exum will continue to step it up in his absence. Rotowire.com Today, 2:41 pm
