Allen (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.

Reddish (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.

Vanderbilt (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.

Davis (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.

James (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.

Portis 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.

Beasley 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.

Middleton (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.

Haliburton (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.

Haliburton 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.
