    • Serviceable in spot start
      Alexander-Walker amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Alexander-Walker moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, replacing Mike Conley who was ruled out due to an Achilles issue. While he was far from spectacular, Alexander-Walker cobbled together a serviceable performance, contributing on both ends of the floor. Now trailing 3-2 in the series, Minnesota will hope Conley is cleared to return for Game 6. If that's not the case, expect to see Alexander-Walker running with the starters again.

    • Nickeil Alexander-Walker scores 14 points Tuesday
      Nickeil Alexander-Walker finished Tuesday’s 112-97 loss to Denver with 14 points (5-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: Due to Mike Conley (Achilles) sitting out Game 5, Alexander-Walker was moved into the starting lineup. While he did finish with a minus-13, the overall stat line was solid. NAW made four of his eight 3-point attempts, and his five assists were countered by one turnover. Alexander-Walker’s place in the rotation for Thursday’s Game 6 depends on Conley’s availability; clearly, he will return to the bench if the Timberwolves’ starting point guard can play.

    • Alec Burks hits five 3-pointers, scores 18 points
      Alec Burks finished Tuesday’s 121-91 win over the Pacers with 18 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, and five 3-pointers in 23 minutes.

      Advice: Injuries have thrust Burks into the Knicks’ rotation, and the veteran wing has taken advantage of his opportunity. He’s scored at least 14 points in each of the series’ last three games, giving New York much-needed production. While Burks scoring 20 points in Sunday’s Game 4 defeat did not matter much, that wasn’t the case in Game 5. The Knicks effectively run a seven-man rotation, so Burks won’t lack playing time or opportunities to shine. He’s shown that there’s still something left in the tank.

    • MIN starting NAW, Edwards, Jaden, Towns, Gobert
      Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert will start Tuesday’s Game 5 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: The Timberwolves are without Mike Conley, who injured his right Achilles tendon on the final play of Sunday’s Game 4 defeat. Alexander-Walker moves into the starting lineup, which also means even more opportunities for Edwards to serve as the primary playmaker. Jordan McLaughlin and Monte Morris could enter the rotation, as Minnesota will need them to help navigate Conley’s absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:04 pm
       
    • Gets starting nod
      Alexander-Walker is in the starting five for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Alexander-Walker will replace Mike Conley (Achilles) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Alexander-Walker averaged 11.5 points, 3.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.3 minutes across his previous 10 starting appearances this season, which all came during the regular season.

    • Out for Game 5
      Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Thunder.

      Advice: Prosper has missed ten straight games with a sprained left ankle. His next chance to suit up will be Saturday, but even if he gets the green light, the rookie is unlikely to feature in Dallas' postseason rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:40 pm
       
    • Questionable for Wednesday
      LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics.

      Advice: LeVert started in place of Donovan Mitchell (calf) on Monday night, posting a respectable stat line across 39 minutes, despite the loss. With the Cavaliers hoping to roar back from a 3-1 deficit, the questionable tag is likely just a precaution as LeVert deals with a lingering knee injury. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:47 pm
       
    • Caris LeVert (knee) questionable for Game 5 Weds.
      Caris LeVert (left knee bone bruise) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics.

      Advice: Starting for the injured Donovan Mitchell (calf), LeVert was seen limping during Monday’s Game 4 defeat. He suffered a knee injury that could sideline him for Wednesday’s elimination game. Max Strus and Sam Merrill are of added importance, and starting point guard Darius Garland will have to take on a heavy offensive workload if LeVert and Mitchell cannot play.

    • Caris LeVert puts up 19/5/3/2/1 line in start
      Caris LeVert got the start on Monday and finished with 19 points (9-of-18 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one triple against the Celtics.

      Advice: Donovan Mitchell has been the star for Cleveland throughout this postseason, but he was sidelined for this game with a calf strain that started bothering him in Game 3. LeVert slid into the starting unit in his place, and he turned in a third straight solid performance. He struggled in Game 1, but he has averaged 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists over their last three games. If Mitchell remains sidelined for Game 5 in Boston on Wednesday, LeVert should remain in the starting unit as Cleveland looks to keep their season alive. Rotoworld Monday, 7:16 pm
