  • Jamal Murray PG | DEN

    Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Available for Game 4

    Murray (calf) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

    Murray has been dealing with a calf injury throughout the series and is yet to miss a game, so it isn't surprising to see him shed another questionable tag. After struggling in the first two games of the series, Murray bounced back in Game 3 with a 24-point outing on solid efficiency, and he will look to carry that momentum over to Sunday's matchup.

  • Nuggets' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Available Sunday

    Caldwell-Pope (abdomen) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

    Caldwell-Pope was deemed questionable ahead of gametime due to a right abdominal contusion, but he will suit up for Sunday's matchup. Battling through the same injury in Game 3, Caldwell-Pope logged 37 minutes, so he should be in for a full workload Sunday.

  • Reggie Jackson PG | DEN

    Nuggets' Reggie Jackson: Good to go

    Jackson (calf) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

    Jackson will overcome a second consecutive questionable tag to suit up for Sunday's matchup. Jackson has had a limited presence this series as he has battled injury, averaging just 4.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 10.7 minutes through three games.

  • Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Won't play Monday

    Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder.

    Prosper has missed nine straight games with a sprained left ankle. His next chance to play will come Wednesday.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Sidelined for Game 4

    Porter (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.

    Porter has missed 11 consecutive contests due to a sprained left ankle. Even if healthy, Porter likely wouldn't factor into the rotation.

  • Ty Jerome SG | CLE

    Cavaliers' Ty Jerome: Still out

    Jerome (ankle) won't play in Monday's Game 4 against Boston.

    Jerome hasn't suited up since October due to a right ankle injury that required surgery. Even if he were to return at some point during the playoffs, he likely wouldn't be part of the Cavs' rotation.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Questionable once more

    Allen (ribs) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Allen has missed six consecutive contests with bruised ribs despite being listed as questionable leading up to each contest. While he's been sidelined, Evan Mobley has slid to the center spot and Isaac Okoro has entered the starting lineup. Should that trend continue, Tristan Thompson would be lined up to fill the backup center role.

  • Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Iffy for Game 4

    Mitchell is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against Boston with a strained left calf, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Mitchell seemingly picked up the injury during Cleveland's Game 3 loss, when he generated 33 points in 43 minutes of action. With Jarrett Allen (rib) also questionable, the Cavaliers could find themselves rather shorthanded for Monday's tilt. If Mitchell can't go, Caris LeVert would likely enter the first unit, while Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill could see more minutes off the bench.

  • Luka Doncic PG | DAL

    Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Deemed questionable for Game 4

    Doncic is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against Oklahoma City with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

    Doncic lands a questionable tag for a second straight game as he battles a slew of injuries. Despite being banged up, Doncic has played at least 39 minutes in every playoff game, averaging 27.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.4 steals per contest. Recent history strongly suggests Doncic will continue to push through, but if he's unable to go in Game 4, Dante Exum and Jaden Hardy would likely take on expanded roles.

  • Luke Kornet C | BOS

    Celtics' Luke Kornet: Nabs probable tag

    Kornet (right calf tightness) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Kornet sustained a calf strain in late April but has suited up for each of the last six games for Boston. If he were to end up missing Monday's tilt, Xavier Tillman would likely work behind Al Horford at the five.
