Joel Embiid (right ankle sprain) is being listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Hawks.

Matisse Thybulle drew the start in place of Embiid on Saturday and would be the likely candidate again if Embiid were forced to sit. The Sixers are going to handle their star center with kid gloves.

Gordon Hayward
SF, Boston Celtics

While Gordon Hayward initially planned on leaving the bubble when his wife gives birth some time in September, he's changed his mind and will not leave the Celtics for the rest of the postseason.

Hayward just returned from a four-week ankle injury and he says he was able to get enough family time in during that stint to change up the plans. It's big news for the Celtics, who benefited from Hayward's playmaking in a big way in Game 3 on Saturday night. Barring injury, we should see Boston at full strength as they try to earn an NBA Finals berth. The Celtics got some great run out of their small-ball lineup last night, of which Hayward was a key member, so look out for more of that as he gets back to full strength.

Dylan Windler
SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Dylan Windler, who missed his entire rookie season after undergoing surgery for a stress reaction in his left tibia, is cleared for 5-on-5 play.

Windler became a bit of a forgotten man since he didn’t touch the floor after September, but Cleveland’s upcoming mini-camp will be a chance for him to establish his footing again. He’s a name to remember for next season’s deep-league drafts with the Cavs likely to make minutes available for any young player with potential. Windler shouldn’t be considered a lock for the rotation just yet, however, so hopefully his time in the Cavs’ bubble goes well.

Jimmy Butler
SG, Miami Heat

Jimmy Butler hit 6-of-13 shots from the field and 5-of-6 shots from the line to end Saturday night's Game 3 loss to the Celtics with 17 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks.

This was an on-par performance from Butler, who clearly needs to crank things up a notch in Game 4 if the Heat want to secure that third win in the series. He's been a great leader for the Heat so far, so there's no doubt that he'll be able to set a context of urgency in the next one. Count on it.

Goran Dragic
PG, Miami Heat

Goran Dragic got the full-blown Celtics defensive treatment on Saturday and buckled under the pressure, shooting just 2-of-10 from the field to finish the night with 11 points, one 3-pointer, one rebound and five assists.

Dragic has been able to turn back the clock and play like he's in his prime in the playoffs, at least up until tonight's game. The Celtics' effort in slowing him down proved to be a big factor in their win. Dragic will have to find a way to shake it off and come back fresh and firing on all cylinders come Game 4.

Tyler Herro
PG, Miami Heat

Tyler Herro was a sight for sore eyes as he chipped in 22 points (8-of-18 shooting) off the bench in Saturday's Game 3 loss to the Celtics.

Herro hit four triples to go along with his three rebounds, four assists and one steal tonight. He made the most of his 36 minutes on the floor and came up big when Boston's defense was smothering Duncan Robinson, who by the way, was able to end the night with 13 points, one rebound, two assists and four treys of his own.
