  • Back in starting lineup
    Okoro will start Sunday's Game 7 against the Magic, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

    Advice: With Jarrett Allen (hip) out, Okoro started Cleveland's Game 5 win and posted eight points (2-10 FG), four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes. Okoro was replaced in the starting lineup by Marcus Morris for Game 6, but J.B. Bickerstaff has flipped them again ahead of Game 7. As a starter this season (43 games), Okoro has averaged 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 30.1 minutes per game. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out for Game 7
    Allen (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 7 against the Magic, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

    Advice: Allen has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss a third straight game due to a right rib contusion. Marcus Morris started Cleveland's Game 6 loss, but Isaac Okoro will move back into the lineup for Game 7, while Evan Mobley operates as the primary center. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Maxi Kleber to be re-evaluated in three weeks
    Maxi Kleber (right shoulder AC joint separation) will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

    Advice: There were reports on Saturday that Kleber would miss “a significant amount of time”, but if Dallas makes it to the Conference Finals, he could return during that series. Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II will fill out the center minutes. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Out at least three weeks
    The Mavericks announced Sunday that Kleber (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a right shoulder AC joint separation and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

    Advice: As expected, Kleber will miss significant time after a scary fall during the Mavericks' series-clinching Game 6 win over the Clippers on Friday. Given the timetable, Kleber will miss all of the second-round series against Oklahoma City and would likely remain sidelined for at least the first few games of the Western Conference Finals if Dallas can advance past the top-seeded Thunder.

  • Gary Harris (hamstring) available for Game 7
    Gary Harris (right hamstring strain) will play in Game 7 against Cleveland on Sunday.

    Advice: Harris will be back in the lineup after missing the Game 6 win in Orlando. Jonathan Isaac started in his place in a tall opening unit, though it wouldn’t be surprising if he was pushed to the bench with Harris back. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Good to go for Game 7
    Harris (hamstring) is available for Sunday's Game 7 against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Harris left Game 5 early and didn't play in Game 6 due to a right hamstring strain, but he'll suit up for the decisive Game 7. Aside from a 14-point outing in Game 2, Harris hasn't been a factor offensively in the opening-round series but has been impactful defensively, racking up six steals and three blocks in five appearances.

  • Nears 20 points in Game 1 defeat
    Murray racked up 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and four assists over 34 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Murray wasn't as strong as we've seen him in the past in Saturday's contest, but he still managed to end three points shy of the 20-point mark while ending as one of three Nuggets with 15 or more points in a losing effort. It will be key to see how Murray, who has been dealing with calf discomfort of late, is able to perform throughout the semifinals and to monitor whether his injury limits him to any extent against a talented Timberwolves squad.

  • Leads from deep in 20-point Game 1
    Porter finished with 20 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Saturday's 106-99 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Porter led all players in Saturday's contest in threes made while ending as one of two Nuggets with 20 or more points and adding a half-dozen rebounds in a losing effort. Porter has surpassed the 20-point mark in five straight playoff contests, connecting on four or more threes in three straight games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:22 pm
