Chris Livingston - Not listed on injury reportLivingston (illness) isn't listed on the Bucks' injury report ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.
ImpactLivingston missed Games 3 and 4 due to an illness but is cleared for Game 5. However, the second-round rookie isn't guaranteed playing time and has played only four minutes in the opening-round series, which all game during a Game 2 blowout loss.

Damian Lillard - Listed doubtful for Game 5Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.
ImpactLillard aggravated a right Achilles injury during Game 3 and missed Game 4 after being diagnosed with a strained tendon. The Bucks lost both games and now face elimination. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful despite a positive update over the weekend, so Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez may have to lead Milwaukee's offense again, while Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis remain in the starting lineup.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Officially doubtfulAntetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.
ImpactAntetokounmpo has yet to play this postseason due to a left calf strain he suffered against the Celtics on April 9. Coach Doc Rivers said ahead of Sunday's Game 4 loss that Antetokounmpo was cleared to run with no resistance and continues to do stationary shooting, but it seems the All-Star is still a few hurdles away from game action. Damian Lillard (Achilles) is also doubtful for Tuesday's potential elimination game, so Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez may have to lead Milwaukee's offense again.

Patrick Beverley - Dealing with oblique strainBeverley is probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers due to a right oblique strain.
ImpactBeverley has scored in double figures only once through the first four games of the opening-round series, averaging 7.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals-plus-blocks in 33.5 minutes per game. The veteran played only 21 minutes during Sunday's Game 4 loss, so he may be limited even if he suits up Tuesday.
