Suns' Grayson Allen: Unavailable for Game 4
29m agoAllen (ankle) is out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Allen was unable to play Friday due to a right ankle sprain that will hold him out again Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale should continue to see expanded roles in Allen's absence.

Cam Reddish LAL SF
Lakers' Cam Reddish: Ruled out for Monday
33m agoReddish (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Reddish will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return if the Lakers stage a dramatic comeback in their first-round series.

Jarred Vanderbilt LAL PF
Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Questionable for Game 5
34m agoVanderbilt (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Vanderbilt is yet to appear in the psotseason for the Lakers, who find themselves on the brink of elimination. This is the first time Vanderbilt has not immediately been ruled out, so he seems to be trending towards a return.

Anthony Davis LAL C
Lakers' Anthony Davis: Likely to play in Game 5
35m agoDavis (wrist) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Davis was questionable for Saturday's Game 4 due to his left wrist sprain, but he suited up and tallied 25 points, 23 rebounds, six assists and a block in 42 minutes. Assuming he's available Monday, it seems unlikely that he'll face any restrictions.
-
LeBron James LAL SF
Lakers' LeBron James: Probable for Game 5
37m agoJames (ankle) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
James continues to deal with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy ahead of Game 5, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again. Over the first four matchups in the series, he's averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 40.0 minutes per game.

Bobby Portis MIL PF
Bucks' Bobby Portis: Ejected Sunday
1h agoPortis has been ejected from Sunday's contest against the Pacers, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
Portis was assessed with two technical fouls stemming from an altercation with Andrew Nembhard in the first quarter, disqualifying him for the remainder of the game. Portis finishes the contest with four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes of action. The already shorthanded Bucks will likely lean on Andre Jackson, Pat Connaughton and Jae Crowder to fill Portis' role.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Likely to play in Game 5
35m agoDavis (wrist) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Joel Embiid PHI C
76ers' Joel Embiid: Good to go for Game 4
8h agoEmbiid (knee) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Knicks.
Embiid continues to be listed as questionable but hasn't missed a postseason game yet. He has averaged 37.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks through the first three games of the opening-round series and is coming off a 50-point explosion during Philadelphia's Game 3 win on Thursday.
-
Mitchell Robinson NY C
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Won't play Sunday
8h agoRobinson (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.
Robinson sprained his surgically repaired left ankle during Thursday's Game 3 loss, didn't practice Saturday and was listed as questionable for Game 4. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN said the big man was warming up with the intention of playing Sunday, but Robinson ultimately didn't get the green light. In his absence, Precious Achiuwa should be the primary backup behind Isaiah Hartenstein, and Jericho Sims may crack the postseason rotation for the first time.

Mitchell Robinson NY C
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Intends to play Sunday
9h agoRobinson (ankle), who's officially listed as questionable, is warming up with the intention of playing in Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Robinson sprained his surgically repaired left ankle during Thursday's Game 3 loss and didn't practice Saturday while sporting a walking boot. However, it seems those measures were merely precautionary, as the big man is expected to suit up in Game 4, barring a setback during warmups. After posting eight points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in 30 minutes during a Game 1 victory, Robinson was limited to 30 total minutes over the next two matchups and complied three points and 11 boards during those contests.

Moe Wagner ORL C
Magic's Moritz Wagner: Modest production continues
9h agoWagner ended with seven points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 15 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Wagner has averaged 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 16.8 minutes through the first four games of the opening-round series against the Cavaliers. The Magic's rotation was basically cut to nine players Saturday, with Wagner, Cole Anthony, Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaac all playing at least 15 minutes off the bench.
-
Wendell Carter Jr. ORL C
Magic's Wendell Carter: Sinks two triples in win
9h agoCarter provided 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Carter started both wins in Orlando after coming off the bench during the two losses in Cleveland. The big man totaled just 11 points on 21.4 percent shooting through the first three games, so his efficient offensive production was a surprising bright spot for the Magic. Jonathan Isaac, who Carter replaced in the starting lineup, popped for 14 points, seven boards and two blocks during the Game 4 win, so it's safe to assume both players are more comfortable in their current roles.
-
Jarred Vanderbilt LAL PF
Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Questionable for Game 5
34m agoVanderbilt (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Vanderbilt is yet to appear in the psotseason for the Lakers, who find themselves on the brink of elimination. This is the first time Vanderbilt has not immediately been ruled out, so he seems to be trending towards a return.

The already shorthanded Bucks will likely lean on Andre Jackson, Pat Connaughton and Jae Crowder to fill Portis' role.
-
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl NO PF
Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Iffy for Monday
3h agoRobinson-Earl is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.
It's unclear when Robinson-Earl suffered the injury, as he's played only five minutes across the first three games of the opening-round series and didn't see any action during Saturday's Game 3 loss. If Robinson-Earl is ruled out, his absence shouldn't impact the Pelicans' rotation.
-
Zion Williamson NO PF
Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Remains out, but making progress
3h agoWilliamson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder.
There was optimism that Williamson could return at some point in the postseason if New Orleans advanced, and that remains true as coach Willie Green said Sunday morning the superstar forward was cleared for stationary basketball drills, per Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans. However, Williamson still isn't running and remains out while rehabbing a left hamstring strain he suffered during the team's first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers. The Pelicans season will be on the line Monday, so the positive update on Williamson may be for naught.
-
Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL PF
Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Downgraded to out
9h agoAntetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.
As expected, Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard (Achilles) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out. Khris Middleton (ankle) remains probable. Bobby Portis should continue to start for Antetokounmpo and will need to play an even larger role on offense due to Lillard missing his first game of the postseason. Antetokounmpo has yet to progress to team drills, but his next chance to suit up will come during Game 5 on Tuesday.
-
Jonathan Isaac ORL PF
Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Strong outing off bench
9h agoIsaac finished with 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 victory over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Isaac delivered his best outing of the postseason, and Wendell Carter played well as a starter, so it's safe to assume both players will stick in their current roles after swapping places to start the postseason. Across four postseason games against Cleveland, Isaac has averaged 8.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals in 21.3 minutes.
-
Cam Reddish LAL SF
Lakers' Cam Reddish: Ruled out for Monday
33m agoReddish (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Reddish will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be able to return if the Lakers stage a dramatic comeback in their first-round series.

Lakers' LeBron James: Probable for Game 5
37m agoJames (ankle) is probable for Monday's Game 5 against the Nuggets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
James continues to deal with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy ahead of Game 5, but he'll likely be able to suit up once again. Over the first four matchups in the series, he's averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 40.0 minutes per game.
-
Khris Middleton MIL SF
Bucks' Khris Middleton: Officially available for Game 4
2h agoMiddleton (ankle) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.
Middleton was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup and will officially be available once again. The 32-year-old had a dominant effort during Friday's overtime loss, tallying 42 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 41 minutes.
-
Bojan Bogdanovic NY SF
Knicks' Bojan Bogdanovic: Won't return Sunday
6h agoBogdanovic (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers.
Bogdanovic played just one minute before suffering a left foot contusion and didn't record any counting stats. He is also dealing with ligament damage in his left wrist but was expected to play through that injury. Bogdanovic's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday when the series shifts back to New York for Game 5.
-
Amir Coffey LAC SF
Clippers' Amir Coffey: Will start sans Leonard
6h agoCoffey will start Sunday's Game 4 against Dallas, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
With Kawhi Leonard (knee) sidelined, Coffey drew a start in Game 1 and posted six points and three rebounds in 25 minutes. He moved back to the bench for Games 2 and 3, but Leonard has been shut down again after a pair of subpar performances. Across 13 regular-season starts, Coffey averaged 11.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 28.8 minutes per game.
-
Bojan Bogdanovic NY SF
Knicks' Bojan Bogdanovic: Questionable to return
6h agoBogdanovic is questionable to return to Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers due to a left foot contusion, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Bogdanovic played just one minute and didn't record any counting stats before suffering the injury with 11:41 remaining in the second quarter. The sharpshooter has been playing through left wrist ligament damage during the opening-round series, and he's struggled to make an impact, averaging only 8.0 points in 16.3 minutes over the first three games.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Unavailable for Game 4
29m agoAllen (ankle) is out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Allen was unable to play Friday due to a right ankle sprain that will hold him out again Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale should continue to see expanded roles in Allen's absence.
-
Malik Beasley MIL SG
Bucks' Malik Beasley: Joins starting lineup
2h agoBeasley is starting Sunday's Game 4 against Indiana.
Beasley came off the bench in the first three games of the Bucks' first-round series and averaged 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game. He'll join the starting lineup Sunday since Damian Lillard (Achilles) has been ruled out.
-
Tim Hardaway Jr. DAL SG
Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Downgraded to out
6h agoHardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
As expected, Hardaway has been downgraded from doubtful to out due to a right ankle sprain. In Hardaway's absence, Josh Green and Dante Exum are candidates for increased roles, while Jaden Hardy may crack the postseason rotation.
-
Delon Wright MIA SG
Heat's Delon Wright: Likely available Monday
7h agoWright (personal) is probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.
Wright will likely be back to soak up some of Terry Rozier's (neck) missing minutes after being absent for Saturday's Game 3 loss due to personal reasons. In Game 1, Wright posted 17 points, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes.
-
Terry Rozier MIA SG
Heat's Terry Rozier: Remains out, day-to-day
7h agoRozier (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.
Rozier will miss a 10th straight game due to a neck strain. Coach Erik Spoelstra said Sunday morning that he doesn't know if Rozier will play in the opening-round series. "[Rozier] is day-to-day. When it changes, I'll let you know," Spoelstra added, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Delon Wright (personal) is probable after being absent for Saturday's Game 3 loss and should help soak up some of Rozier's missing minutes.
-
Gary Harris ORL SG
Magic's Gary Harris: Takes two shots in 24 minutes
10h agoHarris racked up three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After playing 33 and 34 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the opening-round series -- both losses in Cleveland, Harris played 21 and 24 minutes during the two wins in Orlando. Outside of a 14-point outing in Game 2, Harris has been a non-factor offensively, going just 1-for-11 from the field. Defensively, he has six steals through four games and at least one swipe in each matchup.

Tyrese Haliburton IND PG
Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Active for Game 4
2h agoHaliburton (back) is active for Sunday's Game 4 against the Bucks, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Haliburton was a late addition to Sunday's injury report due to bask spasms, but he's on the list of active players for Indiana. Whether he'll have any limitations due to his injury remains to be seen.
-
Tyrese Haliburton IND PG
Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Dealing with back spasms
2h agoHaliburton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to back spasms, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Haliburton is a late addition to the injury report due to a back issue that now has his status in question. If he is unable to go, T.J. McConnell and Andrew Nembhard will likely get a lot of action at the point.
-
Jamal Murray DEN PG
Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Dealing with calf strain
3h agoMurray is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers due to a left calf strain.
Murray played 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 4 loss and posted 22 points (9-23 FG), six rebounds and five assists. However, he appears to have suffered a calf injury during the contest as well. While the Nuggets won the first three matchups of the series, the Lakers have led the majority of every game so far. Reggie Jackson (ankle) is probable for Game 5 and would presumably start at point guard if Murray is ruled out.
-
Reggie Jackson DEN PG
Nuggets' Reggie Jackson: Probable for Monday
3h agoJackson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers.
Jackson has appeared in the Nuggets' first four playoff matchups, averaging 2.0 points and 1.5 assists in 8.3 minutes per game. While he continues to deal with an ankle issue, he'll likely be able to suit up again Monday.

Jalen Brunson NY PG
Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Leaves Game 4 early
5h agoBrunson went to the locker room following the final play of the third quarter during Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers due to an apparent right leg injury, Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic reports.
Brunson has been stellar for the Knicks in Game 4, posting 38 points (15-26 FG) and 10 assists in 34 minutes, so his potential absence in the fourth quarter could be costly. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Miles McBride figures to get plenty of run in Brunson's absence.
