  • 6th Rank
  • 59.00 Total Points
    • Drops 49 points in defeat
      Booker accumulated 49 points (13-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 20-21 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 45 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Minnesota swept the Suns on Sunday, but Booker did everything he could to keep Phoenix in contention during a back-and-forth matchup, logging his fourth-highest scoring total of the season while contributing on both ends of the court. Booker remained dominant during his age-27 season, averaging 27.1 points, 6.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game. Booker should continue to play a prominent role for Phoenix during the 2024-25 season, his 10th year with the team. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 am
       
    • Devin Booker’s 49 not enough to keep season alive
      Devin Booker amassed a game-high 49 points in Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves, adding five rebounds, six assists, two steals, a blocked shot and three triples across 45 minutes.

      Advice: Booker was an efficient 13-of-21 from the floor and converted a ridiculous 20 of his 21 free throw attempts. Booker became just the 13th player in NBA history to hit at least 20 free throws in a playoff game, and Sunday’s performance was the first of its kind since Dirk Nowitzki hit 24 from the charity stripe back in 2011. Booker added an eighth 40-point playoff game to his resume, extending his own franchise record, but the scoring binge wasn’t enough to stave off elimination as most of the team struggled. Booker and Kevin Durant combined for 82 of Phoenix’s 116 points, and no other player had more than nine. He and the Suns will have some intense soul searching to do over the summer after such a quick playoff exit. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:48 pm
       
    • Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out for Game 4 Sunday
      Giannis Antetokounmpo (left soleus strain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Giannis remains sidelined, and with Damian Lillard (Achilles) also out, the Bucks will be without their top two scorers for Game 4. Bobby Portis will continue to start, and while he has been solid offensively, Pacers forward Pascal Siakam has flourished on the other end of the floor. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:54 am
       
    • Downgraded to out
      Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: As expected, Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard (Achilles) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out. Khris Middleton (ankle) remains probable. Bobby Portis should continue to start for Antetokounmpo and will need to play an even larger role on offense due to Lillard missing his first game of the postseason. Antetokounmpo has yet to progress to team drills, but his next chance to suit up will come during Game 5 on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:35 am
       
    • Strong defensive effort
      Mobley finished Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes.

      Advice: Mobley blocked multiple shots for the third time through four matchups against Orlando and added multiple steals for the first time during that stretch. Through four postseason games, the defensive-minded forward has averaged 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 30.5 minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:26 am
       
    • Bounces back in Game 4 win
      Russell ended Saturday's 119-108 win over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Russell faced tons of scrutiny following a woeful effort in a Game 3 loss during which he finished scoreless (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), but he bounced back admirably and reached the 20-point mark for the second time in this series. Russell will need to carry his hot hand into Game 5 if the Lakers want to avoid elimination Monday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:25 pm
       
    • D’Angelo Russell bounces back, scores 21 points
      D’Angelo Russell amassed 21 points (8-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 41 minutes in the Lakers’ Game 4 win over the Nuggets on Saturday.

      Advice: Despite the questions regarding whether or not he would change the starting lineup, Lakers coach Darvin Ham stuck with the same five with his team’s season on the line. Russell, who went scoreless on 0-of-7 shooting in Game 3, rewarded his coach’s faith, rebounding and scoring an efficient 21 points on Saturday. While Russell struggled throughout last season’s Western Conference Finals, he has been up and down in this series. The Lakers will need him to break that trend in Game 5 on Monday if they’re to force a Game 6. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:16 pm
       
    • Doubtful for Game 4
      Antetokounmpo (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

      Advice: Antetokounmpo has been sidelined since missing the final three games of the regular season. Head coach Doc Rivers hinted that Antetokounmpo is ramping up towards a return, but Rivers wasn't optimistic about the forward returning for Sunday's contest. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:54 pm
       
    • Evan Mobley turns in 14/9/3/2/2 line in Game 4
      Evan Mobley posted a full line with 14 points (6-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks against the Magic on Saturday.

      Advice: Mobley scored 12 of his 14 points before halftime, and he was able to turn in a complete line in the Game 4 loss. This was a solid performance in the box score for him, but the second half was a disappointment for the team. Mobley didn’t do much in 22 minutes in the blowout loss in Game 3, but he was more effective in this game. With the series tied 2-2, they’ll need another performance like this out of Mobley in order to secure the Game 5 win at home on Tuesday. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:56 pm
