  • 90-86-4 9th Place
    • Posts 22/7/6 line in victory
      Turner produced 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three blocks in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 victory over the Bucks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Turner's value for the Pacers can't be understated, as the veteran consistently provides solid interior support. Interestingly, his exposure in fantasy contests is very low, making him one of the most underrated centers in the playoff bracket. Although players like Jalen Smith and Isaiah Jackson challenged Turner for playing time in the regular season, neither of the backups saw any playing time in Indiana's Game 2 win.

    • Myles Turner tallies 22 points, three blocks
      Myles Turner played 34 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Bucks, amassing 22 points (9-of-15 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and three 3-pointers.

      Advice: After shooting 5-of-17 from the field in Sunday’s Game 1 defeat, Turner was considerably better in Game 2. He was efficient as a scorer, shooting 60% from the field and 50% from three while also accounting for six assists (and no turnovers) and three blocked shots. If Turner can consistently reach this level of play, the Pacers can win this series, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) remains sidelined. Game 3 is on Friday in Indianapolis.

    • Won't suit up Wednesday
      Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

      Advice: Rozier will now miss his eighth straight game, and it is unclear whether the team will look to rush him back for the remainder of the series without Jimmy Butler (knee). The 30-year-old is considered week-to-week and against the Celtics, so it would not come as a surprise for Rozier to miss the entirety of the series. With Rozier out, Delon Wright, Duncan Robinson and Patty Mills are all likely candidates to see an uptick in playing time. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:03 pm
       
    • Top scorer in Game 2 victory
      Mitchell tallied 23 points (9-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes in Cleveland's 96-86 win over Orlando in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Mitchell once again led Cleveland offensively in another victory in the opening-round series, finishing with a game-high scoring total while handing out a team-high-tying quartet of assists and ending two boards shy of a double-double. The Cavaliers will continue to ride Mitchell's offensive firepower in the postseason, with Mitchell posting at least 23 points in both games of the first round thus far.

    • Donovan Mitchell scores game-high 23 in Game 2 win
      Donovan Mitchell shot 9-of-22 from the field and 3-of-5 from the foul line in Monday’s 96-86 win over Orlando, scoring 23 points with eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

      Advice: Mitchell’s overall field-goal percentage wasn’t good in Game 2, as Orlando had some success when it managed to keep him from getting the basket. Spida shot 2-of-10 from beyond the arc, but a 7-of-12 night from two made up for that deficiency. Orlando’s issue in Cleveland wasn’t defending so much as the team’s lack of consistent perimeter shooters. Mitchell and the Cavaliers will face a stiffer challenge in Game 3 when the series moves to Orlando, but this appears to be a bad matchup for the Magic. Rotoworld Monday, 6:43 pm
       
    • Myles Turner records 17/8/2/2 stat line vs. Bucks
      Myles Turner shot 5-of-17 from the field and 4-of-6 from the foul line in Sunday’s 109-94 loss to Milwaukee, accounting for 17 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

      Advice: At first glance, Turner recorded a decent stat line in Sunday’s series opener. However, he was 3-of-10 from three and 5-of-17 overall, offering minimal value in the paint on both ends of the floor. Turner’s ability to hit perimeter shots is a valuable asset, but the Pacers may need a little more from him in the interior in this series. Also, he did not record a blocked shot after tallying at least one in his final 13 games of the regular season. Turner and the Pacers will look to rebound on Tuesday when the teams get together for Game 2. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:12 pm
       
    • Owns glass in double-double showing
      Zubac logged 20 points (10-17 FG, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 victory over the Mavericks in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Zubac led all players in rebounds while ending as one of three Clippers with 20 or more points in a double-double showcase. Zubac posted four games during the regular season with 15 or more rebounds, adding 20 or more points in one of those outings. Los Angeles will look for Zubac to continue to own the battle in the paint this series while also providing a much-needed spark offensively in a favorable matchup against Dallas.

    • Ivica Zubac posts 20-point double-double vs. LAC
      Ivica Zubac registered 20 points (10-of-17 FGs) with 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal, and a block.

      Advice: Zubac was dominant in the painted area as a scorer and rebounder. Dallas had no answer for the big man and he has a chance to consistently cause problems for the Mavericks’ frontcourt. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:43 pm
       
    • Leads Cavs to Game 1 victory
      Mitchell posted 30 points (11-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 97-83 win over the Magic in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: The Cavaliers delivered a strong showing on both ends of the court Saturday and had several standout performers, but Mitchell made his presence felt in the scoring column with a game-high 30 points. Mitchell also surpassed the 30-point mark in his last regular-season appearance, and he'll aim to deliver another strong performance in Game 2 of the series Monday. After all, the Cavaliers will only go as far as Mitchell can carry them. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:12 pm
