    • Josh Hart records 19/15/7/1/1 line in Game 2 win
      Josh Hart played all 48 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Pacers, accumulating 19 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 15 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Hart has played every minute of the Knicks’ last two games and has shown no signs of slowing down. If there has been an issue for him, it’s the turnovers, as he was responsible for five more on Wednesday. That said, Hart has done enough across the board to minimize the impact of those mistakes. The Knicks head to Indiana with a 2-0 lead, but injuries suffered by Jalen Brunson (foot) and OG Anunoby (hamstring) could put even more responsibility on Hart’s plate for Friday’s Game 3.

    • Luka Doncic (knee) probable for Game 2 Thursday
      Luka Doncic (right knee sprain) is probable to play in Game 2 against the Thunder on Thursday.

      Advice: Head coach Jason Kidd said that Doncic was able to fully participate in practice, so he should be able to be available once again despite this knee sprain. He’ll look to bounce back after only scoring 19 points in Game 1. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:05 pm
       
    • Practices, probable for Game 2
      Coach Jason Kidd said Doncic (knee) practiced Wednesday and is probable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Thunder, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Doncic continues to play through a right knee sprain but was far from his best in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, as he finished with 19 points (6-19 FG) and five turnovers. The MVP candidate is shooting just 39.5 percent during the postseason but remains productive and is averaging 28.3 points, 9.4 assists, 8.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 42.3 minutes per game.

    • Strong performance in loss
      Gafford totaled 16 points (5-12 FG, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-95 loss to the Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Gafford recorded a double-double in the loss, adding five blocks. It was arguably his best performance of the postseason and something the Mavericks are going to need more of should they hope to advance to the Conference Finals. Despite the loss, the scoreline does not reflect that the Mavericks kept this close for three quarters. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:28 pm
       
    • Daniel Gafford records 16/11 double-double
      Daniel Gafford recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 16 points (5-of-12 FGs), 11 rebounds, one assist and five blocks against the Thunder.

      Advice: Gafford had a quiet first round series against the Clippers, but he was much better in the first game of this series. He recorded his first double-double of this postseason and swatted five shots, which was his highest block total in a game since March. Gafford has a better matchup in this series, and with Maxi Kleber sidelined for at least three weeks, he’ll continue to see extra minutes. He played 27 minutes in this game, which was more minutes than he played in any game in the first round. He’ll play a large role once again in Game 2 on Thursday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:25 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic held to 19 points in Game 1 loss
      Luka Doncic struggled on Tuesday and only finished with 19 points (6-of-19 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one triple and five turnovers against Oklahoma City in Game 1.

      Advice: Lu Dort had Doncic in the Dorture Chamber in this game, which is a matchup that Mark Daigneault will continue to deploy. However, that doesn’t mean that it will continue to work like it did in this game. Luka deals with the full attention of the opposing team’s best defender every night, so this is nothing new. As one of the league’s best players, Doncic should be able to bounce back in Game 2 on Thursday, and if Dallas wants to steal a game in OKC, they’ll need him to. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:21 pm
       
    • Good to go Tuesday
      Doncic (knee) is available for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Thunder, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

      Advice: Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite a sprained right knee. Doncic averaged 34.0 points, 13.5 assists, 11.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 38.5 minutes across his two appearances against the Thunder in the regular season.

    • Luka Doncic (knee) cleared to play in Game 1
      Luka Doncic (right knee sprain) will play in Game 1 against the Thunder on Tuesday.

      Advice: As expected, Luka will be available to play after initially being listed as probable. He continues to deal with this sprain in his right knee, but it hasn’t forced him to miss a postseason game, and it is unlikely that it will. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:06 pm
       
    • Nears triple-double in Game 1 win
      Hart tallied 24 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, three steals and one block over 48 minutes in Monday's 121-117 win over Indiana in Game 1 of the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Hart did a little bit of everything for New York to boost the team to a Game 1 victory, leading all players in Monday's contest in rebounds and assists to go along with a team-high trio of steals and coming up two dimes shy of a triple-double. Hart has seen a heavy amount of playing time so far this postseason, resulting in tallying a double-double in four of his seven playoff contests. Hart, who posted his highest point total of the playoffs, has surpassed the 20-point mark on four occasions. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:46 pm
