    • Jalen Suggs provides 12/2/3 line with 7 turnovers
      Jalen Suggs provided a solid line on Saturday with 12 points (4-of-7 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, two triples and seven turnovers against the Cavaliers.

      Advice: Suggs and Paolo Banchero struggled to take care of the ball in the first half and entered the break with a combined nine turnovers, with Suggs accounting for five of them. They cleaned things up in the second half, which helped them outscore the Cavs 61-29 over the final two quarters. Suggs had a big performance in Game 3, and while he wasn’t able to replicate that in Game 4, he was able to turn in a solid stat line, despite a rough first half. If they can take care of the ball in Game 5 on Tuesday, they may be able to steal one on the road. Rotoworld Today, 1:23 pm
       
    • Jonathan Isaac chips in 14/7/1/1/2 line off bench
      Jonathan Isaac provided a boost off the bench on Saturday with 14 points (5-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and four triples in Game 4 against Cleveland.

      Advice: After starting the first two games of this series, Isaac came off the bench for the last two. He had a decent performance in Game 3, but he provided an excellent boost off the bench in this one. Isaac’s defense has been critical through the series, but he was also able to make an impact with from beyond the arc in this one. They won their two home games with Isaac coming off the bench, and the offense was significantly better. Isaac will continue to play an important reserve role in Game 5 on Tuesday.

    • Delivers eight dimes in Game 3 loss
      Booker accumulated 23 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Friday's 126-109 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Booker finished just two assists away from recording a double-double in Game 3, and the star guard will need to be at his best Sunday if the Suns want to avoid getting swept in the first round. Booker's scoring numbers have increased with each passing game in the series, though this was the first time he surpassed the 20-point plateau. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am
       
    • Devin Booker scores team-high 28 points in loss
      Devin Booker led the Suns with 28 points (10-of-19 FGs), four rebounds, four assists and six triples in a 126-109 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Phoenix’s big three combined to score 76 points on 26-of-52 shooting from the floor. None of them had a spectacular performance, but their total output was solid and efficient. However, it still wasn’t enough. Booker led the way, though he did pad his stats at the end with a few garbage-time buckets. If they want to keep their season alive in Game 4 on Sunday, they’re going to need a big performance from either Booker of KD. This was Book’s best game of the series, so we’ll see if he can carry anything over into the next one. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:51 pm
       
    • Tyrese Haliburton ices Game 3 with floater
      Tyrese Haliburton recorded a triple-double on Friday with 18 points (8-of-22 FGs), 10 rebounds, 16 assists, one block and one triple in a 121-118 win over Milwaukee in Game 3.

      Advice: Haliburton didn’t score much throughout the game, but he came up big when they needed him to. He struggled with his deep-range shot (1-of-12), so he chose to attack the basket with the game tied in overtime. He ended up knocking down a floater and converting the and-one to give them a 3-point victory. This was just the fourth playoff triple-double in franchise histroy, which was enough to help them take a 2-1 lead in the series. He may not have many big scoring nights in this series, but he has 36 assists through three games and has peovided them with a ton of offense. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:20 pm
       
    • Steps up late in triple-double game
      Haliburton tallied 18 points (8-22 FG, 1-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 16 assists, 10 rebounds and one block over 46 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime win over Milwaukee in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Haliburton did a little bit of everything for Indiana in the overtime victory, including hitting the game-winning shot with 1.6 seconds remaining to put a cap on an impressive triple-double performance. Despite struggling from three, Haliburton led all players in Friday's contest in assists while leading the Pacers in rebounds and ending two points shy of the 20-point mark. Haliburton recorded his first triple-double of the postseason so far, and he has tallied at least 10 points and 10 dimes in two games in the first-round series.

    • Nearly perfect in Game 3 victory
      Suggs provided 24 points (9-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Paolo Banchero led the way for the Magic with an impressive double-double, but Suggs' outing can't be overlooked, as he missed just two shots from the field while also making his presence felt on both ends of the court. The Magic need Suggs to be at his best if they want to have a shot at turning things around in the series, and this was certainly a step in the right direction after he scored a combined 22 points while going 6-for-21 from the field in the first two games of this series.

    • Jalen Suggs (knee) goes off for 24 points Thursday
      Jalen Suggs (left knee strain) shot 9-of-11 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s 121-83 win over Cleveland, amassing 24 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and three 3-pointers in 28 minutes.

      Advice: After injuring his knee during the first half of Monday’s Game 2 loss, Suggs was at his best in Game 3. In addition to recording a full stat line, he provided the Magic with some much-needed perimeter shooting as Orlando picked up its first win of the series. Orlando will need a similar effort in Game 4 on Saturday as they look to even the series. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:24 pm
       
    • Won't start Game 3
      Isaac is not in the starting lineup to face the Cavaliers on Thursday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Isaac started the first two games of the series, averaging 6.5 points and 4.5 rebounds across 24.5 minutes per contest, but he'll head back to the bench for Game 3. Wendell Carter will get the nod in the frontcourt alongside Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:33 pm
