  • 86-93-1 10th Place
    • Goes for 21 points in Game 1 loss
      Murphy notched 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 44 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Murphy extended his streak of games scoring in double figures to 14 appearances (12 starts), and he ended up as New Orleans' leading scorer in this Game 1 loss while carrying the team at times in the second and third quarters. Murphy can get hot in any moment of a game, but even if that doesn't happen, he sees enough touches to make a consistent impact on offense. Expect Murphy to remain in the first unit -- while experiencing a slight uptick in his usage rate -- as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:19 am
       
    • Trey Murphy hits five triples, scores 21 points
      Trey Murphy logged 44 minutes in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Thunder, posting a line of 21 points (8-of-18 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal, three blocks, and five 3-pointers.

      Advice: Once again starting for the injured Zion Williamson (hamstring), Murphy was excellent on both ends of the floor in Game 1. The third-year wing made some timely baskets as the Pelicans mounted a rally that fell two points short while racking up four “stocks.” Offseason knee surgery derailed Murphy’s progress early in the season, but he has played solid basketball recently, outside of the Pelicans’ regular-season finale against the Lakers. With Oklahoma City devoting much of their defensive attention to CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram, Murphy and Herb Jones won’t lack opportunities to score. Jones struggled in Game 1, shooting 2-of-10 from the field and finishing with eight points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

    • Top scorer in double-double outing
      Doncic had 33 points (11-26 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 loss to the Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Doncic didn't show any signs of rust in Sunday's Game 1 of the playoffs after sitting the final two games of the regular season, leading all players in scoring while leading the Mavericks in threes made, rebounds and assists in a double-double effort. Doncic posted at least 30 points and 13 rebounds in four games during the regular season, posting north of 25 points in 10 straight outings to round out the year. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:33 pm
       
    • Leading scorer in defeat
      Adebayo closed Sunday's 114-94 loss to Boston in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 24 points (10-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes.

      Advice: Adebayo led all players in scoring while pacing the Heat in rebounds to go along with a trio of assists in a losing effort. Adebayo recorded 24 or more points in 14 games during the regular season, entering the playoffs with two straight games with at least 17 points and six boards. We could see Adebayo's workload continue to increase in the opening round series with Jimmy Butler still recovering from a knee injury. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:24 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic posts double-double vs. Clippers
      Luka Doncic scored a game-high 33 points (11-of-26 FGs and 7-of-8 from the free throw line) to go along with 13 rebounds, six assists, and a steal. He sank four 3-pointers.

      Advice: Doncic struggled to score early on but picked things up when the Mavericks made a second-half run. His team’s shooting woes impacted his assist numbers against the Kawhi Leonard-less Clippers, but he was the most productive player on the court. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:20 pm
       
    • Bam Adebayo scores 24 points vs. Celtics Sunday
      Bam Adebayo totaled 24 points (10-of-18 shooting) to go along with six rebounds and three assists.

      Advice: Adebayo had a successful scoring night and led all players in points, but surprisingly didn’t record any blocks or steals in the contest despite being Miami’s defensive anchor. Whether he’ll make his presence felt moving forward remains to be seen. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:09 pm
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns posts 19/7/4/1 line in Game 1
      Karl-Anthony Towns played 27 minutes in Saturday’s win over Phoenix, amassing 19 points (5-of-9 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Like Mike Conley, Towns’ minutes took a hit on Saturday due to foul trouble. However, unlike his point guard, KAT was productive when on the court. Fouls were also an issue for him in Sunday’s regular-season finale (Minnesota lost to Phoenix), but Towns was 3-of-8 from the field in that one. The shots are down due to his recent return from a knee injury and the continued emergence of Anthony Edwards, so KAT’s efficiency is something to keep an eye on throughout the postseason. Game 2 is on Tuesday night. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:23 pm
       
    • Ready to go for Game 1 on Sunday
      Doncic (ankle) is not on the official injury report and will be available for Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Clippers on Sunday.

      Advice: Doncic didn't play in the Mavericks' final two games of the regular season because the Mavericks were already locked into their playoff matchup. Expect Doncic to handle a massive usage rate in the backcourt alongside Kyrie Irving on Sunday and throughout the playoffs. Over his final 12 regular-season appearances, Doncic averaged 31.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 38.0 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:57 pm
       
    • Available for Game 1 on Sunday
      Holiday (knee) is not on the injury report and will be available to face the Heat on Sunday.

      Advice: Holiday didn't play in Boston's final two games of the regular season due to a left knee injury, but that was more of a maintenance move to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Look for Holiday to handle his regular workload in the backcourt in the series opener. He averaged 12.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists across 32.8 minutes per game during the regular season.
