Edwards closed with 22 points (8-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 victory over the Warriors in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Edwards tied his career high in assists Wednesday, and his double-double pushed the Timberwolves past the Warriors to clinch a spot in the Western Conference Finals for a second consecutive season. Edwards finishes the semifinals having averaged 26.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks across 38.8 minutes per game.

Kornet chipped in 10 points (5-5 FG), nine rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

With Kristaps Porzingis battling through an illness, Boston turned to Kornet for extended action, and Kornet delivered. The 29-year-old swatted a career-high seven shots -- he had five in the third quarter alone -- and fell one rebound shy of a double-double. It's unclear how healthy Porzingis will be for Friday's Game 6, but Kornet may have done enough to earn more minutes after combining for 18 minutes in his previous two appearances.

Coach Joe Mazzulla said Porzingis "couldn't breathe" and wasn't available for the second half unless it was "absolutely necessary" in Wednesday's 127-102 win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Porzingis logged one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one block across 12 minutes.

Porzingis hasn't looked like himself during the series as he continues to battle an illness. It seemed like the issue subsided after he played 24 minutes in Game 4 and was part of Wednesday's starting lineup. However, the illness continues to plague Porzingis, and the Celtics held him out of the second half due to his difficulty breathing. His absence allowed Luke Kornet to play 26 minutes, and Kornet logged 10 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks. Porzingis' status should be monitored ahead of Friday's Game 6 in New York.

Porzingis will enter the starting lineup for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals versus the Knicks on Wednesday, Sean Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) sidelined, the Celtics will roll with a traditional frontcourt with Porzingis next to Al Horford. It's no secret that Porzingis hasn't been 100 percent after his illness, so it will be interesting to see how he fares with increased usage Wednesday.

Tyson (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Thunder.

Tyson is set to miss his third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. His absence shouldn't significantly affect the Nuggets, as the 24-year-old has played sparingly in four games this postseason.

Hauser (ankle) is available for Wednesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks.

Hauser is officially set to return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 27-year-old's return certainly doesn't offset the loss of Jayson Tatum (Achilles), but he does give Joe Mazzulla a productive wing option off the bench as the Celtics look to extend their season.

The Warriors announced Wednesday that Curry (hamstring) has been cleared for light on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated Saturday.

Curry has been sidelined since the first half of Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Timberwolves due to a left hamstring strain. The Warriors have been targeting a Game 6 return for their superstar, which would take place Sunday if the team wins Game 5 on Wednesday in Minnesota. Brandin Podziemski has handled point guard duties in Curry's absence but has struggled shooting.

Caruso totaled 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 victory over the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Caruso notched his third double-digit scoring effort of the series and fifth of the postseason in Tuesday's Game 5 win. The defensive ace went without a steal or block for the second straight game, but on the flip side, he knocked down multiple three-pointers for the third game in a row. Caruso continuing to cash in on open jumpers would be huge for the Thunder in their quest for a title.

Holmgren notched 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 win over the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Holmgren followed up his first single-digit performance of the playoffs in Game 4 with an efficient 14 points in a Game 5 win. Although he fell short of a double-double, the 23-year-old has been a key presence in the paint all postseason. In nine playoff games, Holmgren is averaging 15.7 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks on 43.9 percent shooting from the field and 34.9 percent from deep.

Hartenstein tallied 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 victory over the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Hartenstein posted a personal postseason-high in points during a pivotal Game 5 win for the Thunder. The 27-year-old glue guy has continued his steady, regular-season play into the postseason. Hartenstein is averaging 11.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 blocks on 54.0 percent shooting in five games this series against the Nuggets.
