Eastern Central

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.

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.

Fantasy Impact: Porter has been out for a while because of an ankle injury, and he will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game as well. He doesn't get much playing time even when active, so his absence shouldn't carry any major implications for fantasy purposes.
