    • Still out for Game 2
      Prosper (ankle) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's Game 2 matchup with the Thunder.

      Advice: Prosper has been out ever since tweaking his ankle in Game 1 of Dallas' first-round series, and considering we haven't heard any positive updates, it's safe to assume he's still not close to returning. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Game 3 on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:27 pm
       
    • Quiet again Wednesday
      Nesmith totaled six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Nesmith managed just six points in the loss, continuing his disappointing postseason. While he does provide the Pacers with a reliable defensive asset, his inability to score on a consistent basis remains a concern. The series will now head to Indiana, where the Pacers will look to secure their first win. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:36 pm
       
    • Obi Toppin contributes 20 points in Game 2 loss
      Obi Toppin accounted for 20 points (7-of-10 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 20 minutes in Wednesday’s 130-121 loss to the Knicks.

      Advice: Indiana heads home trailing two games to none, but they should be encouraged by Toppin’s play in the Big Apple. After scoring 12 points in Game 1, he tallied 20 more in Game 2 and has reached double figures in six straight. Toppin’s play on Wednesday helped the Pacers on a night when they got little from Myles Turner (six points, seven rebounds, one assist, and one blocked shot). Indiana’s bench dominated the first two games, outscoring New York by a 46-12 margin in Game 2. The series shifts to Indianapolis for Game 3 on Friday night. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:34 pm
       
    • Won't play Thursday
      Wade (knee) won't suit up for Thursday's Game 2 matchup with Boston.

      Advice: Wade has been out of commission for two months now, and with no positive updates to speak of, it's safe to assume he's still not close. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:41 pm
       
    • Closes Game 1 loss
      Lawson closed with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound in five minutes during Tuesday's 117-95 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Lawson played five minutes of garbage time as the Mavericks were dismantled by the Thunder down the stretch. Dallas will attempt to reverse the result in Game 2 on Thursday, hoping to head home with the series locked at 1-1. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:31 pm
       
    • Exercises player option
      Wood exercised his $3 million player option for the 2024-25 season Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

      Advice: Wood was a sporadic part of the rotation in Los Angeles this season, appearing in 50 games with averages of 6.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes. There could potentially be a lot of changes for the Lakers this offseason depending on whether or not LeBron James picks up his player option, so it's difficult to project Wood's role for next season at the moment.

    • Kyle Anderson records full line in spot start
      Kyle Anderson accounted for six points (3-of-8 FGs), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one blocked shot in 26 minutes in Monday’s Game 2 win over Denver.

      Advice: With Rudy Gobert (personal) back in Minnesota, Anderson was the choice to fill the void in the starting lineup. SloMo was most impactful as a rebounder, with seven of his nine coming on the offensive end of the floor. Given how well the Timberwolves have played, those extra possessions seriously damaged the reigning champions. Add in eight assists and three “stocks,” and Anderson had a solid night at the office. Gobert should be available for Game 3 on Friday, which would bounce Anderson back to the bench. Rotoworld Monday, 9:43 pm
       
    • MIN starting Conley, Edwards, Jaden, Kyle, Towns
      Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Kyle Anderson, and Karl-Anthony Towns will start Monday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Leading the series one game to none, the Timberwolves are without Rudy Gobert (personal reasons) for Game 2. Filling the void is Anderson, but the Stifle Tower’s absence also places more responsibility on Towns. KAT has picked up some silly fouls in the past; Minnesota can’t afford to have him land in early foul trouble if they’re to take a 2-0 lead. Rotoworld Monday, 6:37 pm
       
    • Steps into starting five
      Anderson will start Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Anderson will take Rudy Gobert's (personal) spot in the starting lineup. Anderson didn't factor in much during Game 1, finishing with two points, two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes of action. While Anderson is set to draw the start, look for Naz Reid to play a key role off the bench after dropping 14 points in the fourth quarter of Saturday's Game 1. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:37 pm
