Shannon (illness) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 versus Denver.

Shannon hasn't been part of Minnesota's playoff rotation through the opening two games.

Walter (illness) is available to play for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Walter was able to shake off his questionable tag for this contest. Through two games, he's averaging 10.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 steals in 28.0 minutes per contest.

Black logged five points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 98-83 loss to Detroit in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Black has yet to find the form he displayed in the regular season. Through two postseason contests, he's averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 steals on a combined 4-of-13 shooting.

Dort posted nine points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 victory over the Suns in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Ajay Mitchell had the hot hand off the bench, and Alex Caruso was everywhere defensively, so Dort played a modest role Thursday. Through two postseason games, he's averaging 8.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals.

Hartenstein notched nine points (3-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 victory over Phoenix in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Hartenstein played a modest role in this contest, with the Thunder leaning on their small-ball lineups. Through the first two games of Round 1, he's averaging 21.0 minutes with 8.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks.

Robinson amassed 10 points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 98-83 victory over the Magic in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Robinson didn't have the best shooting performance, but he was terrific on the other end of the floor. The Pistons have tightened up their rotation, with Javonte Green being the only reserve to eclipse 20 minutes Thursday.

Green amassed two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 98-83 victory over the Magic in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Green actually led the second unit in minutes played as the Pistons seem content to lean on the veteran. Meanwhile, Caris LeVert and Ronald Holland combined to see just 21 minutes off the bench.

Thompson amassed 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 98-83 win over the Magic in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Thompson had his fingerprints all over this game as the Pistons leveled the series at one win apiece. Over his first two postseason appearances, he's averaging 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.5 steals in 26.5 minutes per contest.
