    • Chet Holmgren scores 26 points vs. Pelicans
      Chet Holmgren scored 26 points (9-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs) in the Thunder’s win over the Pelicans on Wednesday. He totaled seven rebounds, an assist, two blocks, and three 3-pointers as well.

      Advice: Holmgren improved upon his previous outing in his second-ever playoff game. He led all players in blocks and only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored more points in the contest. The rookie’s performance can help him carry confidence into his first road playoff game. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:15 pm
       
    • Leads offensively in double-double
      Herro posted 24 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 assists, five rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

      Advice: Herro stepped up big for Miami in a bounce-back win in Game 2, leading all players in the contest in threes made and assists while leading all Heat players in scoring in an impressive outing. Herro set a season high in assists for any Miami player this year, and he tied the second-most dimes by a Heat player in a playoff game in team history. Miami will need Herro to continue to step up offensively, especially with Jimmy Butler (knee) inactive. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:45 pm
       
    • Tyler Herro secures double-double to top Celtics
      Tyler Herro scored 24 points (7-of-13 FGs) and made both of his attempts from the foul line in the Heat’s 111-101 win against the Celtics on Wednesday. He also totaled five rebounds, 14 assists, a steal, and six made 3-pointers.

      Advice: Herro recovered quickly from his poor 11-point outing in Game 1. He paced his team in points and assists en route to the victory and has momentum on his side ahead of Game 3 in Miami. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:38 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) deemed questionable Thursday
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable to play against New York in Game 3 on Thursday.

      Advice: Though Embiid will continue to manage this knee injury, he isn’t going to sit out during the playoffs because of it. They’re down 0-2, and they’ll need a big performance out of him with the series shifting to Philadelphia. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Considered questionable for Game 3
      Embiid is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks due to left knee injury recovery.

      Advice: Embiid played 37 and 39 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the series and totaled 63 points, 18 rebounds, 12 assists, two steals and a block during those contests. Despite the prolific stats, he hasn't looked 100 percent at times, but it'd be surprising if the reigning MVP didn't try to gut it out with his team facing a two-game deficit.

    • Strong two-way effort in return
      Leonard totaled 15 points (7-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 loss to Dallas in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Leonard returned to action Tuesday after missing nine straight games due to a knee injury. Although he was somewhat tentative to begin the game, he led the team in shot attempts and added five defensive stats. Barring any setbacks, Leonard should be good to go for Game 3 in Dallas on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:17 am
       
    • Kawhi Leonard scores 15 points in return Tuesday
      Kawhi Leonard shot 7-of-17 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 96-93 loss to the Mavericks, amassing 15 points, seven rebounds, two assists, four steals, and one blocked shot in 35 minutes.

      Advice: To no one’s surprise, Leonard looked rusty offensively in his first game since March 31. While he did everything he needed to go during his recovery process, Kawhi did not take any contact during those individual sessions. Maybe that had something to do with his shaky performance in Game 2, but give Leonard credit for impacting the rebound and steals categories. Game 3 is on Friday in Dallas, with the teams tied at one win apiece. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:27 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 2
      Leonard (knee) will be available to play in Tuesday's Game 2 against the Mavericks, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Leonard participated in the team's morning shootaround and went through his usual warmup Tuesday, and the Clippers had been very optimistic about his return prior to getting the official green light. The Clippers haven't been very transparent with this injury, and it's unclear whether Leonard will face restrictions Tuesday evening. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 5:27 pm
       
    • Kawhi Leonard (knee) available for Game 2 Tuesday
      Kawhi Leonard (right knee soreness) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks.

      Advice: Leonard is officially available for Tuesday’s game, his first action since March 31. During his pregame media availability, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said Kawhi has “checked every box” regarding his progression to being cleared to play. Amir Coffey will return to the bench with Leonard in the lineup, lowering his value in DFS tournaments. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:19 pm
