Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out for Game 5 of the Celtics series on Wednesday against the Heat. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: According to Shams, Porzingis has a right soleus strain. Al Horford should move into the starting lineup in his absence for Boston.

Bojan Bogdanovic will undergo season-ending surgery on his foot Wednesday. Bogdanovic was previously ruled out for Game 5 vs. the 76ers, but now it has been announced he will be missing the rest of the season as well. The 6'7 Serbian was playing through a wrist injury when he got injured in Game 4 versus the 76ers. He is also expected to have surgery on his wrist, although the timeline is unknown.

Fantasy Impact: With Bogdanovic's absence, the Knicks will be shorthanded for the rest of the playoffs. There has been no confirmation on Mitchell Robinson's status for Game 5, but if he is also out, both Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa could see increased minutes as the Knicks aim to eliminate the 76ers. Long term, Robinson could also step into the rotation more and provide more depth to the depleted frontcourt.

Giannis Antetokounmpo will be warming up with the Bucks tonight and will attempt to play in Game 5 versus the Pacers. (Source: Sean Wright on X)

Fantasy Impact: If Giannis plays, this would be his first appearance in the series versus the Pacers. With Damian Lillard doubtful, the Bucks need Antetokounmpo to show up in a big way if they want to avoid elimination tonight against the Pacers. The 29-year-old superstar hasn't played since April 9th, when he exited early in the third quarter in a win versus the Celtics. If he is able to play, he won't be at 100% strength, so his production might not match his usual prowess.

Jarrett Allen was a late addition to the Cavs' injury report for Game 5 against the Magic due to a right rib contusion. He is now questionable for Tuesday night. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Allen has had a big impact on this series so far, averaging a double-double at 17 points per game and nearly 14 boards per game. The late addition to the report is of some concern and worth monitoring heading into a crucial Game 5 vs. the Magic. If Allen is unable to play, expect Evan Mobley to start at center and play increased minutes. Georges Niang may also see a start at the power forward position and play increased minutes if Allen is absent from the lineup.

Khris Middleton (ankle) is likely to play in Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, Middleton should be available to play on Tuesday despite being listed on the injury report with an ankle injury. Damian Lillard (Achilles) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) are both unlikely to play, however, so Milwaukee will be relying on Middleton to have a great game if they want to avoid elimination at the hands of the Pacers on Tuesday.

Patrick Beverley (oblique) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Beverley is dealing with some kind of an oblique injury, but it's a minor issue and he is expected to play through it against Indiana. He will likely continue to get a lot of work with Damian Lillard (Achilles) not expected to suit up on Tuesday.

Damian Lillard (Achilles) is not expected to play in Tuesday night's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Tuesday night will likely be the second-straight game that Lillard has missed because of an Achilles issue. With Milwaukee being down 3-1 in the series and Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) also expected to miss the game, it looks like the Pacers could close things out with a win on the road.

Tyrese Haliburton (back) is questionable to play in Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Haliburton is dealing with a back issue that leaves him on the injury report ahead of Tuesday night's game. He's officially questionable to play, and the team will make a decision about his availability closer to game time. Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard will both pick up more minutes if the star guard is unable to play against Milwaukee.

Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) is still out for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Porter will miss yet another game on Tuesday because of an ankle injury. It's a mildly serious issue, and he hasn't been able to take the court for a good chunk of time because of it. His absence will continue to have a minimal impact on Cleveland's rotation against the Magic.

Jericho Sims (shoulder) is likely to play in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Sims is on the injury report because of a shoulder injury, but the team has him listed as probable and expects him to suit up against Philadelphia. He hasn't seen any in-game action for several weeks, however, so he likely won't see any playing time in a matchup against the 76ers.

Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson missed New York's most recent game on Sunday because of an ankle injury, and he may miss Tuesday's game for the same reason. He's officially questionable to play, and it's unclear if he is trending in one direction or the other. Precious Achiuwa will once again see more work if the big man is unable to play.

Jalen Brunson (knee) is probable for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Brunson finds himself on the injury report due to a knee issue, but it's minor and he's expected to play through it on Tuesday night. He should see his usual workload and will look to capitalize on their 3-1 lead and close out the series against Philadelphia.

Joel Embiid (migraine) was not present at Philadelphia's shootaround on Tuesday. (Source: Keith Pompey on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Embiid is listed as questionable to play on Tuesday because of a knee injury and a migraine. He missed the team's shootaround on Tuesday morning, which is a less than ideal sign for his availability. The team will need him to be available if they want any chance of making a comeback from down 3-1 in their series against the Knicks.

Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) is listed as probable to play in Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Oubre is listed on Philadelphia's injury report because of an illness, but it's a minor issue and he is expected to play through it against New York. The team will need all the help that they can get from him, given that they are facing elimination on Tuesday.

Jamal Murray is expected to play on Monday against the Lakers. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Murray had been listed as questionable with a calf strain. He was able to get up shots on the court with a wrap on his left leg. His status will be officially announced soon.

Delon Wright has been listed as available for Game 4 of the NBA playoffs vs. the Celtics after missing Game 3 due to personal reasons. (Source: Anthony Chiang on X)

Fantasy Impact: In the two games Wright has played in this series, he has averaged 11 points in 23 minutes of playing time. He provides more depth to the Heat who are already shorthanded without starters Terry Rozier and Jimmy Butler. The Heat have a chance to tie up the series against the Celtics, and they will need Wright to provide a spark off the bench in order to do so.

Kawhi Leonard has been listed out for Game 4 of the Clippers/Mavericks matchup. He has no timetable for his return at this time. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on X)

Fantasy Impact: There is no guarantee Leonard will return for the rest of this first-round matchup against the Mavericks. We aren't sure how long of an absence this will be, but in the meantime, it looks like Amir Coffey will take his place in the starting lineup for the Clippers.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson-Earl has not been in the rotation for New Orleans.

Haywood Highsmith is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Highsmith should remain in his usual role after playing 26 minutes in Game 1 and 2.

Kevin Love is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Love had been listed as probable. He should remain in a limited role off the bench.
