Luka Doncic
Dallas Mavericks • #77 • PG
Mavericks' Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) available for Game 4 Monday
The Dallas Mavericks will have Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) available for Game 4 of their playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means
Doncic is managing knee and ankle injuries in the Wester Conference Semi-Finals, but hasn't allowed the injuries to keep him off the court yet. He's projected for 41 minutes in Game 4 against the Thunder tonight.
Our model has him going for 58.6 FanDuel points tonight, with 29.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 10 assists. FanDuel has set his salary at a lofty $11,600, but no player entered the night with a higher projected points total than he did.
Jamal Murray
Denver Nuggets • #27 • SG
Nuggets list Jamal Murray (calf) as questionable for Game 5 Tuesday
The Denver Nuggets listed Jamal Murray (calf strain) as questionable to play in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.
What It Means
Murray has been dealing with a calf injury throughout this playoff series, but appears to be on the mend. He's questionable to suit up for Game 5 but would seem to be on the favorable side of that designation.
Our model would project Murray for 37.4 FanDuel points if he suits up on Tuesday, with 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.7 assists. He has notched at least 40 FanDuel points in each of the last two games.
Jarrett Allen
Cleveland Cavaliers • #31 • C
Jarrett Allen (rib) out again for Cavaliers Monday
The Cleveland Cavaliers will not have Jarrett Allen (rib) available for Game 4 of their playoff series against the Boston Celtics on Monday.
What It Means
Allen has not been able to play in any of the Cavaliers' Eastern Conference Semi-Finals games yet, and will now miss Game 4 while he continues to deal with a rib injury. It does seem like he could return in the near future, but the Cavs are two games from elimination.
With Allen sidelined, Isaac Okoro will make another start for Cleveland. He has a $3,800 salary on FanDuel and is projected for 10.7 fantasy points off of 4.9 points, 2 rebounds, and an assist.
Caris LeVert
Cleveland Cavaliers • #3 • SG
Cavs' Caris LeVert starting for injured Donovan Mitchell (calf) in Game 4 Monday
The Cleveland Cavaliers will start Caris LeVert in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Semi-Finals series with the Boston Celtics on Monday.
What It Means
With Donovan Mitchell sidelined by a calf strain, the Cavaliers will call on Caris LeVert to start at guard for them in Game 4. LeVert will be making his first start of the postseason and is projected to play 29.9 minutes against Boston.
Our model has LeVert scoring 24.7 FanDuel points tonight, with 11 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists as a starter. He has a $5,000 salary.
Donovan Mitchell
Cleveland Cavaliers • #45 • SG
Donovan Mitchell (calf strain) out for Cavaliers in Game 4 Monday
The Cleveland Cavaliers have ruled out Donovan Mitchell (calf strain) for Game 4 of their playoff series with the Boston Celtics on Monday.
What It Means
Mitchell has been having an excellent series so far against the Celtics, but will now miss Game 4 while he deals with a calf strain. The Cavaliers currently trail Boston 1-2 in the series and will now be without their top scorer as they try to even the score.
With Mitchell inactive, Caris LeVert could get the start against the Celtics. Our model projects the veteran guard for 24.7 FanDuel points off of 11 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in tonight's game. He'll have a $5,000 salary for this evening's contests.
Luke Kornet
Boston Celtics • #40 • PF
Celtics' Luke Kornet (calf) cleared to play in Game 4 Monday
The Boston Celtics will have Luke Kornet (calf) available for Game 4 of their playoff series with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
What It Means
Besides Kristaps Porzingis, who is also dealing with a calf injury, Kornet was the only member of the Celtics to appear on the injury report for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals today. Kornet has now been cleared to play and should be available off the bench as the Celtics try to surge out to a 3-1 series lead.
Our model projects Kornet for 12.2 FanDuel points over 12.9 minutes tonight, with 3.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists. FanDuel has set his salary at $3,700 for today's contests.
The Celtics have a 54.6% win probability according to numberFire's model and are 8-point favorites on FanDuel Sportsbook's NBA Odds for Game 4.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen (rib) remains uncertain Monday for Game 4

What It Means
Allen wasn't present for the beginning of shootaround, but he made his way out to the court for some free throws. The big man, who missed the past six games, is still listed as questionable for Game 4 on Monday night. If the Cavaliers rule Allen out again, they will continue to have more work available for Evan Mobley, Isaac Okoro, Max Strus, and Dean Wade.
numberFire's models project Allen for 25.9 minutes and 25.8 FanDuel points on Thursday. Mobley is averaging 34.0 minutes and 38.9 FanDuel points per game in the second round.
