Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Kristaps Porzingis "went through a couple drills" in practice on Friday. (Source: Brian Robb on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Mazzulla wouldn't speculate on the potential availability of Porzingis for Game 1. That will be something to monitor after he missed the entire Eastern Conference Finals series.

Maxi Kleber is available for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves. (Source: Mavs PR on Twitter)

Lonzo Ball said on his podcast that he plans to return next season with the Bulls. (Source: The WAE Show on Twitter)

Olivier-Maxence Prosper has been ruled out for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Prosper has not been much of a difference-maker in his rookie season, but he has been able to provide more depth for the Mavs' frontcourt. His Mavs look to start the WCF out strong with a Game 1 win versus the Timberwolves.
Xavier Tillman Sr. has been listed as questionable for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Indiana Pacers due to personal reasons. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Tillman hasn't made much of an impact for the Celtics despite the Celtics missing some frontcourt depth with Kristaps Porzingis out. Tillman has only played in three games this offseason and averaged 8.3 minutes of playing time in those three games. Tillman's game status won't be a difference maker for Game 1, but it is worth monitoring to determine his teammates' playing time.
Jamal Murray is available for Sunday's game against Minnesota. (Source: Denver Nuggets on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Murray is good to go as usual. He has landed on the injury report ahead of every game in the series, but it has not impacted the minutes he has played.
Josh Hart is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Hart left Friday's game early and did not return. He is expected to try and play through the injury, but it is unclear how hampered he'll be by it.
OG Anunoby has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Anunoby, who has been sidelined since Game 2, is expected to go through shootaround ahead of Sunday's game. At that point, the team will make a decision on if he can play.
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.
Donovan Mitchell (calf) is questionable for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals versus the Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Mitchell missed Game 4 with the same injury, and while the Cavs obviously missed their best player, they still kept the game close. If the Cavs want to stave off elimination, Mitchell will have to give Wednesday night a go. If he can't play, Caris LeVert could once again take his place in the starting lineup, assuming LeVert is healthy enough to play.
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.
Isaiah Hartenstein is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Hartenstein appeared to injure his shoulder in Sunday's loss against Indiana. He underwent X-Rays that came back negative and appears to be fully good to go with him not landing on the injury report.
