Davis Bertans Done For Remainder Of Game 4

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of the Game 4 matchup against Philly. Bertans suffered a right calf strain midway through the third quarter, and considering that he's had issues with it this season, it wouldn't be shocking for him to miss Game 5 on Wednesday night (if necessary).

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 5/31 - Monkey Knife Fight

With two games on Monday's slate, an eventful weekend could mean a disappointing start to the week.

Russell Westbrook Remains A Game-Time Call

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) is a game-time call for Saturday's matchup against the Wizards.
