    • Drops 40 points in Game 5 loss
      Brunson amassed 40 points (15-32 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-9 FT), three rebounds, six assists and three steals across 51 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 overtime loss to Philadelphia in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Brunson was carrying a probable tag into Tuesday's game with a right knee contusion, but he powered through it and didn't appear limited in any way. Brunson's counting stats continue to be through the roof, but he has struggled with his shot. Through five playoff games, Brunson is hitting 41.9 percent from the field and 28.9 percent from beyond the arc. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:53 am
       
    • Jalen Brunson drops 40 in OT loss in Game 5
      Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 40 points (15-of-32 FGs), three rebounds, six assists, three steals and four triples in a 112-106 overtime loss to Philadelphia in Game 5 on Tuesday.

      Advice: With a chance to close out the series at home, Brunson had a massive performance, which was his second straight game with at least 40 points. Unfortunately, an unreal stretch from Tyrese Maxey late in the fourth quarter forced overtime, where the Knicks just couldn’t get anything going outside of Brunson, who scored all nine of their points in the extra frame. It was still an impressive game from Brunson, but they’ll now have to go into Philadelphia for Game 6 on Thursday. Brunson averaged 43 points in the two games in Philly, with the Knicks coming away with a win in Game 4. They’ll need another masterclass performance out of him to avoid a Game 7.

    • Suiting up against Philadelphia
      Brunson (knee) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers.

      Advice: Brunson has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a right knee contusion. While the star guard is averaging 33.0 points per game across the four games of the series, he is shooting just 40.5 percent from the field and 25.9 percent from three.

    • Jalen Brunson (knee) available for Game 5 Tuesday
      According to TNT’s Jared Greenberg, Jalen Brunson (right knee contusion) is available for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.

      Advice: As expected, Brunson is available as the Knicks look to close out a series on their home court for the first time since 1999. He’ll take on his usual workload despite dealing with multiple injuries. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:38 pm
       
    • Officially ruled out
      Hardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers.

      Advice: Hardaway suffered a setback during Tuesday's post-practice scrimmage and will miss a third straight contest after spraining his right ankle during Game 2. In Hardaway's absence, Josh Green and Dante Exum are candidates for a few extra minutes off the bench. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:34 pm
       
    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) questionable Wednesday
      Tim Hardaway Jr (right ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for the Mavericks’ Game 5 matchup against the Clippers on Wednesday.

      Advice: Hardaway has missed two straight games but could return to the fray on Wednesday. The Mavericks wing has only scored six points in the series, though. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:27 am
       
    • Questionable for Game 5
      Hardaway (ankle) had a setback during Tuesday's scrimmage and is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, ESPN's Tim MacMahon reports.

      Advice: Hardaway was reportedly moving really well during the scrimmage, so the Mavericks will be frustrated to see the guard suffer a setback. With this news, there may not be any more clarity on his status until Wednesday's morning shootaround. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:22 am
       
    • Strong fourth quarter not enough
      Reaves closed Monday's 108-106 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 34 minutes.

      Advice: Reaves scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough as the Lakers were bounced from the playoffs on another game-winning shot by Jamal Murray. After a slow start to the opening-round series, Reaves averaged 20.7 points, 4.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 35.0 minutes over the final three matchups, but Los Angeles won only one of those contests. The third-year wing appeared in all 82 regular-season games and averaged 15.9 points, 5.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 32.1 minutes -- all career highs. Ahead of the 2023-24 season, Reaves signed a three-year contract with a $14.9 million player option for 2026-27. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:07 am
       
    • Ramps up activity
      Hardaway (ankle) participated in a post-practice scrimmage on Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Hardaway has been sidelined for the past two games against the Clippers, and it remains to be seen if he'll be available for Game 5 on Wednesday. More clarity is expected on Hardaway's status when the Mavericks release their official injury report Tuesday evening. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:01 am
