Caris LeVert (knee) has been listed as questionable for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: LeVert stepped in the starting lineup Game 4 for an injured Donovan Mitchell and scored 19 points, his second-highest scoring playoff game this postseason. If both LeVert and Mitchell miss Game 5, Sam Merrill will likely see increased playing time, but the Cavs will have to come up with other creative solutions to fill the void LeVert and Mitchell would leave.

Jarrett Allen (rib contusion) is listed as questionable for Game 5 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Allen has missed this entire series so far, which likely contributes to the 3-1 deficit the Cavs find themselves in. Allen could push himself to play despite his pain and discomfort in this do-or-die game. If he can't play, Isaac Okoro will likely remain in the starting lineup.

Fantasy Impact: This is the second time in this year's playoffs that Gobert has been fined for making this gesture, and the fine takes his previous incident into account.

Tuesday night is a critical Game 5 matchup that the Wolves are looking to win after dropping the last two games in the series.

Isaiah Hartenstein is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The ankle injury has appeared to impact the game of Brunson, at least to some degree as of late. He continues to play it off though in press conferences and should remain in his usual role where he'll be needed more than ever at home on Tuesday.

Tyrese Haliburton is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Jalen Williams exited Game 3 versus the Mavericks towards the end of the third quarter with an apparent left leg injury. He returned to the bench after a brief visit to the locker room, then checked back in the game shortly after his return. (Source: Tim McMahon on X)

Fantasy Impact: Williams has been a key contributor to the Thunder when he's remained healthy. Since he was able to return to the game, it bodes well for his status moving forward, but it worth keeping an eye on the practice reports for Game 4.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (abdominal contusion) is listed as questionable for Game 3 in the Western Conference semifinals against the Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Caldwell-Pope is a solid role player that hasn't been as effective recently, but he has averaged 32 minutes per game this series. Teammates Jamal Murray and Reggie Jackson are also listed as questionable, so it looks like the Nuggets may need to go further into their rotation to fill in valuable minutes provided by KCP and his other questionable teammates. Christian Braun and Justin Holiday may see increased minutes if KCP or either one of his teammates misses Game 3.

Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) has been listed as questionable for Game 3 in the Western Conference semifinals versus the Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Jackson was injured early in the fourth quarter and immediately went back to the locker room and did not return. Before his injury, Jackson didn't make much of an impact, scoring only three points. However, with Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also questionable, Jackson's injury is worth monitoring as the Nuggets could go into Game 3 shorthanded in the backcourt.
