Max Strus Questionable Against Celtics On Monday

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's postseason meeting with the Boston Celtics. This ailment is nothing new, so the questionable tag should be taken with a grain of slate. With Jimmy Butler (knee) and Kyle Lowry (hamstring) uncertain for Game 4, Strus may see a substantial bump in production. However, even […]

Jayson Tatum Expected To Suit Up In Game 4

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (neck) will likely suit up for Game 4 against Miami. Tatum took a hard fall on Saturday night and briefly lost feeling in his arm.

Kyle Lowry Still Dealing With Bum Hamstring

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is back on the injury report leading up to Monday's postseason meeting versus Boston.

Tyler Herro Uncertain For Game 4

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) is questionable for Monday's postseason showdown against Boston.

Marcus Smart Questionable For Monday Night

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is questionable ahead of Monday's playoff meeting against the Miami Heat.

Nonetheless, head coach Ime Udoka didn't […]

Andre Iguodala Out For Game 3

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's playoff showdown versus Dallas. The veteran has been rehabbing. However, head coach Steve Kerr couldn't provide an update on Iguodala's availability for the rest of the postseason. The 38-year-old usually wouldn't have any DFS appeal. However, if Iguodala makes it back […]

Jordan Binnington Ruled Out For The Rest Of The Second Round

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington (lower body) has been ruled out for the rest of the second-round series against the Avalanche.
