Caris LeVert is Available for Game 5 on Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard Caris LeVert (heel) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is good news for the Pistons, with Duncan Robinson (back) ruled out for this game. LeVert figures to be asked to take on a larger role offensively with Robinson sitting out on Wednesday. LeVert finished with 24 points during Monday's Game 4 loss. The veteran guard should be a fairly safe DFS option without Robinson on the floor. Daniss Jenkins will move into the starting five, but LeVert is expected to still play a significant role off the bench.

Kevin Huerter is Cleared to Return for Game 5
Detroit Pistons guard Kevin Huerter (adductor) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Huerter is back in the mix for the first time since Game 4 of the first-round series against the Orlando Magic. His return to the rotation comes at a good time with Duncan Robinson (back) ruled out for this game. The absence of Robinson could mean that Huerter is given significant playing time right away. Daniss Jenkins will draw the start in place of Robinson, with Caris LeVert playing a significant role off the bench. Huerter might have the lowest floor of all three guards, but still could be a solid source of three-pointers without Robinson on the court.

Duncan Robinson is Out for Game 5
Detroit Pistons guard Duncan Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is a tough blow to the Pistons. He was questionable coming into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to lower back soreness. His absence should mean larger roles for Daniss Jenkins, Caris LeVert, and Kevin Huerter on Wednesday. Among the trio, LeVert is probably the best DFS option after dropping 24 minutes during Monday's Game 4 defeat. Jenkins will draw the start in place of Robinson, so he could also be an interesting option for Wednesday's slate.

Keegan Murray Underwent Ankle Procedure
Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) underwent an arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies in his left ankle, according to James Ham. Murray suffered multiple ankle issues throughout the season, so hopefully this will help him moving forward. This procedure will keep him sidelined for roughly 6-8 weeks, so it shouldn't impact his availability for training camp. Last season, Murray averaged 14.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 34.5 minutes per game in a career-low 23 contests. The hope is that these ankle issues are resolved and Murray can be a more consistent contributor next season.
