What It Means

Murray should be on track to play despite his questionable designation with a left calf strain. In 31.5 expected minutes, our models project Murray to score 31.9 FanDuel points.

Murray's current projection includes 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.

What It Means

Anunoby looks like he has a chance to return after he was able to progress to on-court rehab activities this week. Look for Miles McBride to see extended playing time if Anunoby is unable to go.

Anunoby's current projection includes 14.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.9 assists.

What It Means

According to Shams Charania, Hart "is attempting to try to play" after he was diagnosed with an abdominal strain. Expect Precious Achiuwa to see more minutes if Hart struggles with his injury on Sunday.

Hart's current projection includes 11.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists.

What It Means

Porzingis has been sidelined since injuring his calf during Game 4 of Boston's opening round series against the Miami Heat. He is expected to miss Game 1, on Tuesday, and Game 2, on Thursday, but there is "optimism" that he will return at some point during the ECF.

What It Means

Murray has been dealing with a calf strain throughout the entire series, but hasn't missed a game yet. He'll suit up for Game 6 tonight as the Nuggets try to close the series out. While he has still been on the team's injury reports, Murray was able to play over 40 minutes in Game 5 -- his first time doing so since the end of April.

Our model projects Murray for 37.2 FanDuel points across 36.5 minutes tonight, with 19.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 6.3 assists.

What It Means

Conley sat out Game 5 with an Achilles injury, but has been given the go-ahead to play against Denver in Game 6. He'll slot back into the starting five while Nickeil Alexander-Walker sits.

Conley is projected for 27.6 FanDuel points in 31.5 minutes of action tonight, with 11.1 points, 3 rebounds, and 6.7 assists.

What It Means

Alexander-Walker joined the starting five for Game 5 while Mike Conley sat with an Achilles injury, but will retreat to the bench tonight with Conley back in the lineup. The 25-year-old had a solid night as a starter despite the loss, accumulating 28.9 FanDuel points.

He's projected for just 18.2 FanDuel points off the bench in this one, with 8.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists across 25.1 minutes.

What It Means

Conley was unable to play against the Nuggets in Game 5 as the Wolves fell to 2-3 in their Western Conference Semi-Finals matchup against the Nuggets, but has now been cleared to return to the court for Game 6 tonight. Expect him to replace Nickeil Alexander-Walker in the starting five.

The Wolves are now 3-4 in games without Conley this season, so his return should be a boon as they try to even the series up at 3-3. numberFire's model gives them a 59.7% probability of winning tonight's game at home.

Assuming he's fully healthy, our model projects Conley for 27.6 FanDuel points tonight, with 11.1 points, 3 rebounds, and 6.7 assists across 31.5 minutes.

What It Means

Anunoby continues to deal with a hamstring injury and will remain sidelined for Game 6 on Friday. Miles McBride could remain in the starting lineup with Anunoby out again.

What It Means

Conley is expected to return to the starting lineup after sitting out Tuesday's Game 5 loss. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely move back to the second unit, and there will be fewer minutes available for Kyle Anderson and Monte Morris.

numberFire's models project Conley for 31.5 minutes and 27.7 FanDuel points on Thursday in Game 6. He averaged 31.8 minutes and 29.6 FanDuel points in Games 1-4.
