  • 96-79-5 4th Place
    • Wendell Carter Jr. starts, grabs five rebounds
      Wendell Carter Jr. played 25 minutes in Thursday’s 121-83 win over Cleveland, accumulating two points (1-of-4 FGs) and five rebounds.

      Advice: Carter moved into the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the series’ first two games. He did not offer much production, but having more size in the middle helped Orlando keep Jarrett Allen (eight rebounds) off the boards. With Carter starting, Jonathan Isaac returned to the bench, and he chipped in with eight points, two rebounds, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 16 minutes. Game 4 is on Saturday, with Cleveland holding a 2-1 lead. Rotoworld Today, 6:39 pm
       
    • ORL start Suggs, Harris, Wagner, Banchero, Carter
      The Magic will start Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, and Wendell Carter Jr. against the Cavaliers on Thursday.

      Advice: Wendell Carter Jr. will start at center after backing up Jonathan Isaac in Games 1 and 2. Orlando is reverting to its usual regular-season lineup in hopes of securing a home win against the Cavaliers in Game 3. Rotoworld Today, 3:39 pm
       
    • De’Anthony Melton (back) active Thursday
      De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) has been upgraded from questionable to active ahead of Thursday’s 76ers-Knicks game.

      Advice: Melton is set to make his 2024 postseason debut. His nagging back injury has improved enough for him to hit the hardwood and his status will likely reduce Kyle Lowry’s minutes. Rotoworld Today, 3:34 pm
       
    • Starting in Game 3
      Carter is in the starting lineup to face the Cavaliers on Thursday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Carter was the starting center for the majority of the regular season, and he will slot back into that role as the Magic attempt to shake things up ahead of a pivotal Game 3 at home. Carter has averaged 10.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in a starting role this season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:32 pm
       
    • Available to play Thursday
      Melton (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

      Advice: Melton was tabbed a game-time decision for this contest, but in the end, he'll be available to see minutes off the bench. He didn't see action in any of the first two games of the series and has played just two games since the beginning of March, so he's not expected to have a heavy workload across the board.

    • Considered game-time decision
      Melton (back) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Melton practiced Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday's matchup, but the 76ers will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his availability. Even with the 76ers down 0-2 in the first-round series, it wouldn't be surprising to see Melton's playing time monitored if he's cleared to suit up Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:52 pm
       
    • Surpasses 30 points in Game 2 loss
      Brown finished with 33 points (13-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

      Advice: Brown led all players in Wednesday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-high mark from three and hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a well-rounded performance in a losing effort. Brown bounced back well after posting a modest 17 points in Sunday's Game 1 win. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:55 pm
       
    • Jaylen Brown leads Celtics with 33 points in loss
      Jaylen Brown scored 33 points (13-of-23 FGs) in the Celtics’ loss to the Heat on Wednesday. He shot 3-of-6 from the foul line with eight rebounds, an assist, a steal, a block, and four made 3-pointers.

      Advice: Brown got especially hot toward the end of the first half and topped Jayson Tatum in points while matching him in rebounds. His successful scoring night wasn’t enough to counteract Miami’s shot-making, though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:50 pm
       
    • Questionable for Thursday
      Melton (back) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with New York.

      Advice: Melton has not yet made an appearance this postseason, but he was able to practice Wednesday, so he does appear to be close. However, he'll likely have his minutes closely monitored once he is eventually cleared to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:36 pm
