Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (back, ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Game 5 against the Knicks on Tuesday. This is great news for the Pacers, who have started to turn the tide in the series with back-to-back wins. Haliburton has had a very productive three-game stretch, averaging 29.7 points while nailing 17 attempts from downtown. On Tuesday, the Pacers star will hope to record his first run with four consecutive 20-point efforts since January.

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers. After grabbing a 2-0 lead in the series, the Knicks have dropped back-to-back games, and head coach Tom Thibodeau has decided to switch things up. McBride will take Precious Achiuwa's spot in the first unit. The 23-year-old has been in fine form this postseason, recording 9.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 23.2 minutes.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) has been listed as questionable for Game 5 against Boston on Wednesday. After replacing Donovan Mitchell (calf) in the starting lineup on Monday, LeVert has suffered a bone bruise on his left knee. Mitchell has a chance to return on Wednesday, but Sam Merrill might be the next man in line to step up if both Mitchell and LeVert are out on Wednesday.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (rib) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Game 5 against Boston on Wednesday. He's had the designation ahead of each game in the series due to a rib contusion but hasn't seen any action. Allen last played in Game 4 of the opening-round series against Orlando and has missed seven contests. Dean Wade's recent return to the lineup has given Cleveland's frontcourt a boost, but the team relies heavily on Evan Mobley with Allen out.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (calf) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash with Boston. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. Mitchell has gotten hurt at the worst possible time for the Cavaliers, who face elimination in Wednesday's Game 5. Caris LeVert (knee) had a 19-point outing in Game 4 as Mitchell's replacement in the starting lineup. However, LeVert himself is also questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup, meaning Cleveland could be very shorthanded in Game 5.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Thunder. He's previously carried a questionable tag ahead of each game in the series. Injuries and Oklahoma City's tough defense have made life difficult for Doncic in the second-round series. He has pushed his rebounding numbers to 10.8 per game in the matchup, but his scoring average has dropped to 22.0 points. Doncic has also been limited to 7.8 assists, with barely 30 percent shooting from downtown.

On Tuesday, Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Game 5 versus the Denver Nuggets. Due to right Achilles soreness, Conley is a late addition to the team's injury report. The 36-year-old veteran point guard is averaging 11.9 points, 6.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes during the playoffs. If he is absent, Jordan McLaughlin, Monte Morris, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could see an uptick in minutes during the contest.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving contributed only nine points as the team was beaten 100-96 on home court by the Thunder on Monday. He finished with 4-for-11 shooting, missing both attempts from downtown. Irving's stat line also included one rebound and nine assists with one turnover and five fouls. It's been an up-and-down series for Irving, as he now boasts two nine-point duds but has gone for 20-plus points in the other two games. If the trend continues, we should see Irving bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday. Overall, he's averaging 15.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.3 steals in the matchup.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington continued his successful series against the Thunder on Monday with a 21-point, 12-rebound effort in a 100-96 loss. Like many of his teammates, Washington struggled for efficiency, shooting 7-for-19, but he was outstanding with a 5-for-11 effort from three-point range. Washington's night also included one block. The 25-year-old started off the series with a fairly quiet performance in Game 1, but he has since then hit top gear to average 21.8 points and 8.8 rebounds with a fantastic 51.4 percent shooting from deep. Dallas will need more of the same from him as the series heads back to Oklahoma City tied through four games.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic had a rough shooting night against the Thunder in Game 4 on Monday but found a way to record his second triple-double of the 2024 playoffs. He finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, shooting 6-for-20 from the field. Doncic once again shook off a questionable tag to take the court on Monday, but he was well off his best form, hitting 2-for-9 from downtown and committing seven turnovers. Defensively, Doncic contributed with two steals and one block. Following Monday night, Doncic is now shooting only 39 percent from the field in the second-round series. He's struggled for efficiency throughout the postseason, and it could end up being very costly for Dallas.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams was limited to 5-for-19 shooting with zero makes from downtown against Dallas on Monday, but he still played a large part in a 100-96 win. Despite the poor shooting, Williams posted 14 points with nine rebounds, six assists, and a game-high four steals. Williams' efficiency from the field in the series has now dropped below 40 percent, but he has been one of the standout names against the Mavericks, averaging 17.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren had a good two-way outing against the Mavericks on Monday, scoring 18 points on 6-for-9 shooting and posting a second consecutive game with four blocks. He was also tied for most rebounds on the team with nine boards and recorded one steal. Holmgren is quietly filling the stat sheet each night, although he's hit the 20-point mark only once in these playoffs. The giant out of Gonzaga has put up 15.3 points per game in the series against the Mavericks with 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 34 points as the team tied the Western Conference semifinals series against Dallas with a 100-96 victory on Monday. He recorded a third consecutive outing with at least 30 points by shooting 14-for-27 from the field and making all six free throws. With two swats to his name, Gilgeous-Alexander also extended his run with multiple blocks to five games, and his busy 42-minute night included eight rebounds, five assists, and two steals. The Thunder star has been causing nightmares for Dallas throughout the series, averaging 31.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.8 blocks, and 1.3 steals.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort made a mark with 17 points, eight rebounds, and one block in Monday's Game 4 victory against Dallas. Both teams struggled to score the basketball, and Dort finished with a 4-for-14 record from the field. Three of his makes came from 10 three-point attempts. He added six points with perfect free-throw shooting. Dort has been shooting the three-ball well in the postseason, hitting 42.9 percent of his efforts. However, his shooting numbers have started to drop in the series against the Mavericks, as Dort spends a lot of energy on the defensive end, trying to slow down Luka Doncic as much as possible. The defensive specialist averages 10.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.0 steals for the playoffs.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) underwent a procedure on his left ankle on Monday. He will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks. This is Mitchell's second ankle procedure since he injured it back in December, and while nothing has changed regarding his current timetable, the update means he is done for the rest of the playoffs. The 26-year-old is coming off a down season, averaging 5.6 points with 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks. While he could turn things around during the 2024-25 campaign, his inability to remain healthy will negatively impact his fantasy stock moving ahead.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley finished with 19 points and nine rebounds in Monday's loss to Boston. With Donovan Mitchell (calf) and Jarrett Allen (rib) out for this one, Mobley and company did all they could to tie the series at two games. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, with the Cavs now one loss away from elimination. With that said, if Allen and Mitchell remain out for Game 5, Mobley will be a lock for all DFS lineups.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert finished with 19 points in Monday's loss to Boston. He added seven assists, three rebounds, and two steals. Donovan Mitchell (calf) didn't suit up for this contest, so LeVert got the start. While he struggled shooting from deep, going 1-for-8, he still had one of his best performances of the playoffs. With Mitchell and Jarrett Allen (rib) uncertain for Game 5 on Wednesday evening, LeVert could be in line for more scoring opportunities, no matter his role, meaning he'll see plenty of interest from the DFS community.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White didn't have his best showing in Monday's win over the Cavs. He scored just five points, going 1-for-6 from the field and 1-for-4 from deep. Fortunately, the veteran at least had seven boards, three assists, and one steal, so DFS managers didn't get left out in the cold. White had 25 points in Game 1. However, he has only 27 in the last three games. With that said, the 29-year-old could easily bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday evening, with the Celtics looking to close out the series and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland scored a team-high 30 points in Monday's loss to the Celtics. He also had seven assists and two steals. Donovan Mitchell (calf) wasn't available for this one. While Garland struggled shooting, going 12-for-27 from the field and 4-for-13 from deep, he still had his best showing of the playoffs. With the Cavs one loss away from elimination, Mitchell could be back for Game 5 even if he's not fully healthy. But Mitchell could be limited physically, so Garland could continue to see more opportunities on the scoring end.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus had 15 points in Monday's loss to the Celtics. He added seven rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. Donovan Mitchell (calf) wasn't available, so the 28-year-old did his best to fill the void by delivering his best performance of the series. With Mitchell uncertain for Game 5 on Wednesday night, Strus could continue to see more scoring chances, making him an ideal DFS option for any contest. However, after his efficient showing in Game 4, his rostering cost could rise significantly.
