Fantasy Impact: Highsmith is listed on Miami's injury report because of a foot injury that he's dealing with, but it's not considered serious and he will be available to play through it against Boston. Miami is currently down 3-1 in the series, so they will need him and several other players to perform very well if they want to avoid elimination.

Jimmy Butler (knee) remains out for Wednesday night's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Butler will miss yet another game because of a knee injury.

Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic will both continue to see more work while the star forward remains out.

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.

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.
