  • Hands out nine dimes in Game 4 loss
    Conley contributed 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 loss to Denver in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Conley didn't have his best shooting performance, but the veteran point guard keeps finding ways to contribute even when his shot isn't falling. He's now scored in double digits in three of the four games of the series so far while dishing out at least six assists each time. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
     
  • Scores 19 points in Game 4 win
    Murray provided 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 115-107 win over Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Murray drained a half-court buzzer-beater to end the first half and finished just two assists shy of posting what would've been his first double-double of the series. The shooting woes remain for Murray, however, as he's hitting just 40 percent of his field goals so far in the four games against Minnesota, but he seems to be trending in the right direction after scoring 19 or more points in his last two contests.

  • Not present at shootaround
    Mitchell (calf) was not present at Monday's morning shootaround, ESPN's Tim Bontemps reports.

    Advice: Mitchell is listed as questionable for Game 4 against Boston with a strained left calf, but it would be a huge shock if he wasn't on the floor for this game. He was terrific in Saturday's Game 3, producing 33 points in 43 minutes of action while catching fire from beyond the arc. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Cracks rotation in blowout loss
    Milton supplied three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: Milton saw his first minutes of the postseason, playing the entire fourth quarter of what was an ugly loss. The series is now tied at 2-2, but the Pacers have all the momentum heading back to New York. Assuming Game 5 on Tuesday is tighter, don't expect to see Milton in the rotation.

  • Drops team-high 20 points
    Burks contributed 20 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Advice: With the Pacers jumping out to a huge lead and Jalen Brunson looking less than 100 percent, Burks saw extended playing time and made the most of his opportunity. We know Burks can put up points in a hurry when afforded meaningful playing time. However, with that said, New York fans will be hoping this is not the case in Game 5 on Tuesday, given his outbursts tend to come when the Knicks are on the wrong end of the blowout.

  • Jamal Murray, Reggie Jackson, KCP available Sunday
    Jamal Murray (left calf strain), Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (right abdominal contusion) are all available for Sunday’s Game 4 against Minnesota.

    Advice: All three players will be available despite sporting questionable tags heading into Sunday’s pivotal matchup in Minnesota. The Nuggets can even up the series before heading back to Ball Arena, so the availability of the trio is crucial. All three should handle their typical workloads. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:44 pm
     
  • Available for Game 4
    Murray (calf) will play in Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

    Advice: Murray has been dealing with a calf injury throughout the series and is yet to miss a game, so it isn't surprising to see him shed another questionable tag. After struggling in the first two games of the series, Murray bounced back in Game 3 with a 24-point outing on solid efficiency, and he will look to carry that momentum over to Sunday's matchup.

  • Good to go
    Jackson (calf) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against Minnesota.

    Advice: Jackson will overcome a second consecutive questionable tag to suit up for Sunday's matchup. Jackson has had a limited presence this series as he has battled injury, averaging just 4.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 10.7 minutes through three games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:19 pm
     
  • T.J. McConnell finishes with 15 points, 10 assists
    T.J. McConnell finished Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Knicks with 15 points (6-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

    Advice: While the decision to shift Aaron Nesmith onto Jalen Brunson has received a lot of attention, and rightfully so, McConnell’s role has also been significant. The veteran point guard took on the task when Nesmith (8/12/1/0/1 in 24 minutes) wasn’t in the game, and he was highly impactful in both of Indiana’s wins at home. In addition to being a pest on the defensive end of the floor, McConnell recorded a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists. For those interested in this series for betting purposes, McConnell is worth considering for prop bet action. Game 5 is on Monday in New York, with the teams tied at two wins each.
