    • Good to go for Game 3
      Suggs (knee) isn't listed on Orlando's injury report for Thursday's Game 3 against the Cavaliers.

      Advice: Suggs suffered a left knee sprain during Monday's Game 2 loss, but he returned in the second half and said he was fine following the contest. He was also able to practice Wednesday. The defensive-minded guard has totaled 22 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and a block through the first two games of the opening-round series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:42 pm
       
    • Goes through practice
      Suggs (knee) was able to practice Wednesday, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

      Advice: Coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs is feeling better, and previous reports have indicated that the guard is expected to play in Game 3 Thursday against the Cavaliers. Fantasy managers can expect more clarity when Orlando releases their official injury report Wednesday evening. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:34 am
       
    • Scores team-high 34 points in loss
      Lillard totaled 34 points (10-21 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Lillard followed up his 35-point performance in Game 1 with another solid number, but his stellar play wasn't enough this time. His supporting cast was much less effective in Game 2, and Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) missing output continues to plague the offense. Lillard's excellent start to the postseason is no surprise, as he's averaged 29.5 points, 6.2 assists and 4.5 rebounds over 62 playoff games in his career. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:11 am
       
    • Double-double onslaught continues
      Siakam closed with 37 points (16-23 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 win over Milwaukee in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: The last player to open a postseason with two 35-point, 10-rebound performances was Wilt Chamberlain, which gives you an idea of how rare Siakam's run of production is in the playoffs. Siakam was the unquestioned offensive engine for the Pacers, shooting a deadly 69.5 percent from the floor while adding 11 rebounds. If Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) absence continues, Siakam should be able to exploit the Bucks and keep his double-double streak intact. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:44 am
       
    • Damian Lillard leads MIL with 34 points in Game 2
      Damian Lillard finished Tuesday’s 125-108 loss to the Pacers with 34 points (10-of-21 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal, and six 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: Like Sunday’s Game 1 victory, Game 2 was a tale of two halves for Lillard. He put on a show in the first half, scoring 26 points, but the Pacers limited him to eight after halftime. While Doc Rivers said after the game that Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is close to a return, he isn’t back yet. Until that changes, the Bucks will need more second-half production from Lillard. Game 3 is on Friday in Indianapolis. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:15 pm
       
    • Vintage performance Tuesday
      Conley ended Tuesday's 105-93 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes.

      Advice: Conley assumed more responsibility on the offensive end of the floor to help lead Minnesota to the win. Despite not always putting up noteworthy production, Conley is a vital piece for the Timberwolves. He provides them with veteran leadership, as well as a cool head when the going gets tough. Minnesota will look to take a commanding lead in the series when the team lines up for Game 3 Friday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:53 pm
       
    • Pascal Siakam makes franchise history in Gm 2 win
      Pascal Siakam shot 16-of-23 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 125-108 win over the Bucks, scoring 37 points with 11 rebounds, six assists, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

      Advice: The Pacers evened their series at one win apiece, and Siakam led the way. Spicy P made some history, becoming the first Pacer to record a 30-point double-double in two consecutive games. Also, Siakam is tied with Paul George for the most 30-point double-doubles in a single postseason in franchise history. The Siakam matchup may be where the Bucks miss Giannis Antetokounmpo the most, as Siakam did whatever he wanted in the first two games. The series shifts to Indianapolis for Game 3 on Friday.

    • Mike Conley hits three triples, scores 18 points
      Mike Conley shot 7-of-13 from the field and 1-of-1 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 105-93 win over Phoenix, amassing 18 points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring four points on 2-of-12 shooting in the Timberwolves’ Game 1 victory, Conley was significantly better in Game 2. He shot over 50% from the field and was one of three Timberwolves to score at least 18 points, helping pick up the slack on a night when Anthony Edwards wasn’t at his best. While Ant-Man recorded a full stat line (15/5/8/3/1 with two 3-pointers), he shot 3-of-12 from the field (1-of-6 from two) and 7-of-8 from the foul line. Minnesota successfully managed the first two games of the series with inconsistent production from its starting guards, but they’ll need to be at their best in Game 3 on Friday.

    • Expects to play in Game 3
      Suggs said after Monday's 96-86 loss to the Cavaliers that he doesn't think his sprained left knee injury will keep him from playing Thursday in Game 3 of the series, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Suggs suffered the injury in the first quarter Monday, when he collapsed to the floor after making contact with Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell. Suggs grabbed his leg in visible pain after the play and didn't put any weight on his leg as he was assisted to the locker room, but he was able to return to the contest after halftime while sporting a compression sleeve on his leg. He ended up playing well down the stretch, finishing with nine points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes. Adrenaline might have played a part in Suggs feeling well enough to return, so the Magic will wait and see how his knee responds over the next two days before deciding whether he's fit to play in Game 3 with the Magic facing a 2-0 series deficit.
