    • Andrew Nembhard scores 20 points in Game 2 victory
      Andrew Nembhard shot 8-of-11 from the field and 3-of-4 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 125-108 win over the Bucks, tallying 20 points, four rebounds, three assists, and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes.

      Advice: Nembhard was one of the Pacers who bounced back after struggling in Sunday’s Game 1 defeat. After going 2-of-6 from the field and scoring six points in the series opener, the second-year guard was one of three Indiana players to finish Game 2 with 20 or more. That production level may not become the norm for Nembhard in this series, but the Bucks’ need to keep Tyrese Haliburton in check means there will be opportunities for Andrew to shine. Game 3 is on Friday in Indianapolis. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:45 pm
       
    • Woeful in Game 1 loss
      Nembhard ended Sunday's 109-94 loss to Milwaukee in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with six points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three assists in 30 minutes.

      Advice: Nembhard had very little impact in the loss, continuing what has been a disappointing season despite his starting role. His lack of production highlights the Pacers' need for a reliable secondary backcourt option, something Nemhard has failed to do. Fans will be hoping he can at least be moderately impactful in Game 2. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:41 pm
       
    • Alex Caruso (foot) plays 33 minutes in defeat
      Alex Caruso (right foot sprain) finished Friday’s loss to the Heat with six points (2-of-8 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, one block, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

      Advice: Caruso was a game-time decision for Friday after injuring his foot during the first half of Wednesday’s win over the Hawks. While he played starters’ minutes, he did not have much impact on either end of the floor. The limited scoring output was unsurprising, but the Bulls struggled to defend Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr. with a limited Caruso on the court. The rugged guard finished the season as a 5th-round player in 8- and 9-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo ADP (140.7) by a significant margin. The only way Caruso is off the board in standard leagues ahead of the 100th pick will be if Zach LaVine (foot), Lonzo Ball (knee), and Patrick Williams (foot) aren’t available for the start of next season and pending free agent DeMar DeRozan is not re-signed.

    • Coby White goes cold, scores 13 points vs. Miami
      Coby White shot 5-of-16 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Friday’s 112-91 loss to the Heat, tallying 13 points, two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

      Advice: What a difference a game makes. Two nights removed from torching the Hawks for 42 points, White ran into more significant resistance in Miami. The Heat made life difficult for the Bulls guard, who had as many turnovers as assists (four). Friday’s performance was a disappointing end to the best season of White’s NBA career, and he will receive some votes for the Most Improved Player award. Entering the season with a Yahoo ADP of 138.9, he provided 8th-round per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats. With Lonzo Ball’s (knee) status for next season undetermined, Coby will be worth considering as a top-100 pick in standard league drafts. Rotoworld Friday, 6:48 pm
       
    • Alex Caruso (foot) active Friday vs. Heat
      Alex Caruso (right foot sprain) is active for the Bulls’ Friday matchup with the Heat.

      Advice: Caruso is good to go after logging just 17 minutes in Chicago’s play-in game against the Hawks. The Bulls guard will likely remain in his team’s three-guard starting lineup alongside Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White. Rotoworld Friday, 2:40 pm
       
    • Officially cleared to play
      Caruso (ankle) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Miami.

      Advice: There was initial concern regarding the severity of Caruso's ankle injury that he suffered Wednesday against Atlanta, but he was examined further Thursday, which showed reduced swelling. He said Friday morning that he expected to play against the Heat, and he's officially been cleared to suit up in the win-or-go-home matchup. Over his six appearances this month, he's averaged 8.8 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 32.3 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Alex Caruso (ankle) expects to play vs. Miami
      Alex Caruso (left ankle sprain) said that he expects to play against the Heat in their Play-In matchup on Friday.

      Advice: Caruso was limited to 17 minutes against the Hawks on Wednesday, and early reports indicated that his status against the Heat was “in doubt”. However, Chicago should have their best defender available as they try to win in Miami to move on to take on the Celtics. The Heat won’t have Jimmy Butler or Terry Rozier, so Caruso will be tasked with limiting Tyler Herro. Rotoworld Friday, 9:14 am
       
    • Expects to play Friday
      Caruso (ankle), who is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, said that he expects to play in the matchup, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Caruso was initially believed to have a significant left ankle sprain, but he experienced reduced swelling Thursday. It appears increasingly likely that the 30-year-old will be available for Friday's win-or-go-home matchup, but the Bulls will likely continue to monitor him in the hours leading up to tipoff.

    • Likely to be game-time decision
      Caruso (ankle), who is questionable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Heat, underwent further evaluation Thursday that revealed reduced swelling, creating increased optimism that he'll be available for the win-or-go-home matchup against Miami, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

      Advice: Wojnarowski reported Wednesday night that Caruso had sustained a "significant" left ankle sprain against Atlanta, which put his availability for Friday's matchup in doubt. However, the 30-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction and will likely be a game-time decision as the Bulls attempt to secure the No. 8 seed in the playoffs. If Caruso is unavailable against Miami, Javonte Green, Torrey Craig and Dalen Terry could see additional playing time. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:00 pm
