Patrick Beverley (oblique) probable in Game 5 for Milwaukee Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley is considered probable to play Tuesday in the team's game against the Indiana Pacers.

What It Means

Beverley is dealing with a right oblique muscle strain. However, that shouldn't impact his ability to take the floor in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Keep a loose eye on his status over the next 24 hours to ensure he gets the green light.

Our models currently project Beverley for 8.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 23.7 FanDuel points across 34.9 minutes of action.

Bucks' Khris Middleton (ankle) probable for Game 5 Tuesday

The Milwaukee Bucks listed Khris Middleton (ankle) as probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers.

What It Means

Middleton is listed as probable for Tuesday's game as he deals with an ankle injury. The veteran is averaging over 40 minutes a night in the Bucks' last two and will likely see a similar workload on Tuesday as they stave off elimination.

Our model projects Middleton for 33.7 FanDuel points against the Pacers, with 15.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Milwaukee Bucks PG

Damian Lillard (Achilles) doubtful in Game 5 Tuesday for Milwaukee

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard is considered dobutful to play Tuesday in the team's game against the Indiana Pacers.

What It Means

Lillard missed Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals due to right Achilles tendinitis. Now, it seems as though another absence is in store for the star point guard. Keep a loose eye on his status over the next 24 hours, but don't hold out hope he'll be able to play. Expect another Malik Beasley start in the backcourt again as the Bucks hope to avoid elimination.

Our models currently project Lillard for 23.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 40.0 FanDuel points across 37.9 minutes of action.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton (back spasms) questionable for Game 5 Tuesday

The Indiana Pacers listed Tyrese Haliburton (back spasms) as questionable to play in Game 5 of their playoff series with the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.

What It Means

Haliburton is reportedly dealing with lower back spasms and will be questionable to play on Tuesday with this new injury. His status will be important to monitor throughout the day.

If he is cleared to play, our model has him projected for 48.8 FanDuel points against the Bucks, with 20.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 12 assists.

Milwaukee Bucks • #34 SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) doubtful for Milwaukee in Game 5 Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is considered doubtful to play Tuesday in the team's game against the Indiana Pacers.

What It Means

Antetokounmpo is dealing with a left soleus strain, which is why he's been sidelined all series thus far in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. And unfortunately for MIlwaukee--which is down 3-1 in the series--it seems as though the two-time MVP will remain sidelined Tuesday night. Expect continued added work for Bobby Portis and Andre Jackson Jr.

Our models currently project Antetokounmpo for 24.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 49.1 FanDuel points across 34.9 minutes of action.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson (knee) probable for Game 5 Tuesday

The New York Knicks listed Jalen Brunson (knee) as probable to play in Game 5 of their playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.

What It Means

Brunson briefly exited Sunday's game with a knee injury, but it doesn't seem like the star is dealing with a concerning issue. He has a probable tag and should be good to go by tomorrow's tip-off.

Our model projects Brunson for 45.3 FanDuel points against the 76ers, with 28.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 7.3 assists.

Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) ruled out for Knicks in Game 5 Tuesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic will not play Tuesday in the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

What It Means

Bogdanovic left Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals early due to a left foot contusion. Now, he has been ruled out of action entirely for Tuesday night's contest at Madison Square Garden. Expect more work for Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa as the Knicks look to close out the series.

In 4 games this postseason, Bogdanovic is averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 12.8 minutes.

Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable to play in Knicks' Game 5 Tuesday

The New York Knicks listed Mitchell Robinson (ankle) as questionable to play in Tuesday's playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

What It Means

Robinson suffered an ankle injury during Game 3 of the Knicks' series against the 76ers and has been unable to suit up since. His questionable tag gives him a shot to play in Game 5 Tuesday, but we'll need to monitor practice reports until tip-off to learn whether he'll truly suit up.

Robinson had been playing roughly 15 minutes per game to close out the Knicks' season after returning from injury, but saw his usage spike to 30 minutes in Game 1. His minutes came back down around 17 in Game 2, though, and it's clear he's playing behind Isaiah Hartenstein for now.

Joel Embiid

Philadelphia 76ers • #21 C

Joel Embiid (knee) questionable for 76ers in Game 5

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is listed as questionable for Game 5 against the New York Knicks on Tuesday.

What It Means

Embiid will likely tough it out again on Tuesday night as the 76ers try to avoid elimination and send the series back to Philadelphia. He's averaging 35.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 2.5 three-pointers in 40.3 minutes per game for the series, but Embiid is shooting only 44.9 percent from the field and struggling to finish in the fourth quarter.

numberFire's models project Embiid for 36.7 minutes and 51.7 FanDuel points in Game 5 on Tuesday.

Miami Heat • #4 PG

Delon Wright (personal) good to go Monday for Game 4 in Miami

Miami Heat guard Delon Wright (personal) is available for Game 4 against the Boston Celtics on Monday.

What It Means

Wright has been upgraded from questionable, but he will return after missing Game 3 for the birth of his daughter. Patty Mills might fall back out of the rotation on Monday night. Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic may also see a downtick in playing time.

numberFire's models project Wright for 20.0 minutes and 18.5 FanDuel points in Game 4 on Monday.
