    • Devin Booker scores team-high 28 points in loss
      Devin Booker led the Suns with 28 points (10-of-19 FGs), four rebounds, four assists and six triples in a 126-109 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 on Friday.

      Advice: Phoenix’s big three combined to score 76 points on 26-of-52 shooting from the floor. None of them had a spectacular performance, but their total output was solid and efficient. However, it still wasn’t enough. Booker led the way, though he did pad his stats at the end with a few garbage-time buckets. If they want to keep their season alive in Game 4 on Sunday, they’re going to need a big performance from either Booker of KD. This was Book’s best game of the series, so we’ll see if he can carry anything over into the next one. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:51 pm
       
    • Bobby Portis records 17/18 double-double in Game 3
      Bobby Portis recorded a double-double on Friday with 17 points (7-of-15 FGs), 18 rebounds, one steal, one block and one triple against Indiana.

      Advice: Portis, who was a finalist for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award, has played really well as the starting power forward in place of Giannis Antetokounmpo, and that continued in this game. He has recorded a double-double in all three games of this series, but this was by far his best outing. Giannis isn’t expected to play in this series, so Portis should continue to start. They’ll need him to continue to play to this level if they want to tie this series back up in Game 4 on Sunday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:01 pm
       
    • Owns glass in double-double showing
      Portis finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, one block and one steal over 44 minutes in Friday's 121-118 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Portis dominated the boards in Friday's contest, leading all players in rebounds while finishing as one of two Bucks with a double-double in a losing effort in overtime. Portis has stepped in nicely while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) continues to miss time, recording a double-double in all three games in the first-round series thus far. Portis will likely continue to remain in the starting lineup until Antetokounmpo is able to return, and he would become a key player off Milwaukee's bench if the two-time MVP does come back at some point in the series against Indiana.

    • Records double-double in Game 3 win
      Banchero closed with 31 points (13-26 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 121-83 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

      Advice: There's no question that Banchero is the engine that keeps the Magic going on offense, and the star forward made his presence felt on both ends of the court Thursday, leading the Magic in both points and rebounds en route to a blowout win. Banchero has surpassed the 20-point mark in his three appearances in the series, averaging 25.3 points per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 35.0 percent from three-point range.

    • Paolo Banchero drops 31/14/4/1 line in Game 3 rout
      Paolo Banchero finished Thursday’s 121-83 win over Cleveland with 31 points (13-of-26 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 29 minutes.

      Advice: After committing 15 turnovers in the series’ first two games, Banchero produced a masterclass in Game 3. In addition to the gaudy double-double, he did not commit a single turnover in his 29 minutes on the floor. Orlando finished with eight as a team, which, along with the improved shooting, factored into their sparkling performance. Banchero and the Magic will look to even the series on Saturday.

    • Records double-double in loss
      Portis supplied 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 loss to Indiana in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Although Portis didn't come anywhere near Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) usual production, the former is doing enough to keep the interior afloat. Portis is expected to play at least one more game as Antetokounmpo's fill-in, but he'll need to keep the double-doubles coming. The Bucks' playoff fortunes will fade rapidly without a stronger response to Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner in the paint. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:15 am
       
    • Devin Booker leads Phoenix with 18 points Tuesday
      Devin Booker logged 42 minutes in Tuesday’s 105-93 loss to the Timberwolves, accumulating 20 points (6-of-13 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Booker fouled out of Game 2, but the outcome was no longer in doubt at that point. He did lead the Suns in scoring, but, as was the case in the series opener on Saturday, efficiency was a problem. Booker committing six turnovers was more concerning than the field-goal percentage, with the Suns recording 19 as a team. Bradley Beal wasn’t much better, as he was responsible for four to go along with 14 points (6-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, six assists, and two 3-pointers in 42 minutes. Phoenix will need more from both guards to win Game 3 on Friday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:00 pm
       
    • Leading scorer in Game 2 loss
      Banchero notched 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 41 minutes in Orlando's 96-86 loss to Cleveland in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Banchero led all Orlando players in scoring while handing out a trio of rebounds and assists and swiping a team-high pair of steals in a losing effort in Game 2. Banchero has done all he can to help the Magic in the first two games of the series against the Cavaliers, surpassing the 20-point mark while recording at least three rebounds and steals in both outings.

    • Paolo Banchero leads ORL with 21 points in Game 2
      Paolo Banchero played 41 minutes in Monday’s 96-86 loss to the Cavaliers, accounting for 21 points (9-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer.

      Advice: Banchero once again led the Magic in scoring, but, as was the case in Game 1 on Saturday, inefficiency was an issue. After racking up a career-high nine turnovers in the series opener, he was responsible for six more in Game 2. With Orlando’s limited offense, especially considering the team’s lack of consistent perimeter shooters, they can’t afford to give up possessions. If Banchero can’t clean up that aspect of his game, this series may only have two more games. Game 3 is Thursday night in Orlando. Rotoworld Monday, 7:07 pm
