  • Jrue Holiday turns in 16/7/5/3/1 line in Game 4
    Jrue Holiday posted a full line on Monday with 16 points (6-of-11 FGs), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block and four triples against Cleveland in Game 4.

    Advice: Holiday has been a disappointment this postseason, but he has been much better over their last two games. After scoring in double figures in just three of their first seven playoff games, Holiday averaged 17.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.0 block and 3.5 triples in their two games in Cleveland. He is playing like the star they acquired this summer to help push them over the edge, and if he continues to produce to this level, they won’t have any issues closing out the Cavs on Wednesday and advancing to the conference finals.

  • Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) available for Game 4
    Luka Doncic (right knee sprain, left ankle soreness) will play in Game 4 against the Thunder on Monday.

    Advice: As expected, Doncic has been cleared to play in Monday’s game as Dallas looks to take a 3-1 lead in the series. He only had 22 points in Saturday’s win, but he also added 15 rebounds and five assists. He should continue to put up big numbers moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 5:01 pm
     
  • Cleared for Game 4
    Doncic (knee) will play in Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

    Advice: Doncic took a step in the right direction by participating in morning shootaround, and he's since been given the green light to suit up for Monday's matchup. The star point guard has been held in check by his standards through the first three games of the series, knocking down 42.1 percent of his tries from the field and 35.0 percent from downtown.

  • Will start sans Mitchell
    LeVert will start Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

    Advice: The Cavaliers, already playing without Jarrett Allen (ribs), also lost Donovan Mitchell (calf) for Game 4, so LeVert will get his first crack in the starting lineup during the postseason. Over the last two games against the Celtics, LeVert has averaged 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 51.7 percent from the field. Across 10 starts during the regular season, LeVert averaged 16.2 points, 7.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 34.3 minutes. Rotowire.com Today, 3:23 pm
     
  • Won't play Monday
    Mitchell (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Mitchell had been stellar over his last six postseason appearances, averaging 35.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 35.3 minutes. However, he suffered a strained left calf during Game 3 and will be sidelined for a critical matchup in Cleveland. With Mitchell out, Caris LeVert may slide into the starting lineup at shooting guard, while Isaac Okoro, Sam Merrill and Marcus Morris are also candidates for increased offensive roles.

  • Woj: Donovan Mitchell (calf) ruled out for Game 4
    Donovan Mitchell (left calf strain) has been ruled out for Game 4 against Boston on Monday.

    Advice: Mitchell’s calf started bothering him in Game 3, and now Cleveland will have to play Game 4 without their star player. This is a massive loss for the Cavs, who will have to try to defend homecourt without Spida, who is averaging 31.7 points per game in this series. Caris LeVert should start in his place, but everyone will have to step up for them to have a chance. Rotoworld Today, 3:05 pm
     
  • Considered questionable
    Haliburton is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks due to low back spasms, a sacral contusion and a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Despite all the injuries, Haliburton has been spectacular over the last three games, averaging 29.7 points, 7.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 33.7 minutes. Despite sporting a major limp following Sunday's Game 4 win, the All-Star is likely more probable than questionable heading into Game 5, but his official availability will likely be a game-time decision.

  • OG Anunoby (hamstring) out again for Game 5
    OG Anunoby (left hamstring) will remain sidelined for Game 5 against Indiana on Tuesday.

    Advice: Unsurprisingly, Anunoby will remain sidelined for another game of this series. There were reports that suggested this might be the case, and now it’s official. It’s unclear if he could return for Game 6, but Precious Achiuwa should continue to start until OG is back. Rotoworld Today, 2:34 pm
     
  • Will miss Game 5
    Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

    Advice: Anunoby will miss a third straight game due to a left hamstring strain. After winning the first two matchups of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Knicks have lost back-to-back games without Anunoby. Precious Achiuwa should continue to start at power forward, while Anunoby's next chance to suit up will come Friday in Game 6. Over the weekend, Anunoby was able to get a pool workout in, but he hasn't resumed running yet. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm
