Patrick Beverley Could Sit Out Friday
Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He sat out of Wednesday's Game 2 loss due to a left calf issue. It sounds like fantasy owners are going to have to wait until closer to game time before getting a better update. Reggie Jackson and Landry Shamet would benefit the most if Beverley is forced out again. Shamet has more upside, but he'll be a risky DFS option even with extended playing time.

Patrick Beverley Under Police Investigation For Ball-Throwing Incident
Patrick Beverley is under police investigation for his ball-throwing incident in Game 6 against the Pacers. With the Bucks down by 20 points and heading out of the playoffs, Beverley chucked the ball at Pacers fans multiple times near the end of the game. The controversial guard, who's set to become an unrestricted free agent, has since then regretted the incident. "Unfortunate situation that should have never happened," Beverley said on his podcast. "What I did was bad, and that should have never happened. I have to be better, and I will be better. That should have never happened. Regardless of what was said, that should have never happened. Simple as that."

Patrick Beverley Ready For Action Thursday
Patrick Beverley (oblique) has been upgraded from probable to available for Thursday's Game 6 against Indiana. Beverley is set to make up Milwaukee's starting backcourt with the returning Damian Lillard (Achilles). He will likely take a backseat offensively, but Beverley's tenacity on the defensive end is a big asset for the Bucks, and he should continue to get a healthy dose of action. Through the first five games in the series, Beverley has averaged 34.0 minutes a night, posting 8.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.2 steals.
