  • Jalen Suggs provides 12/2/3 line with 7 turnovers
    Jalen Suggs provided a solid line on Saturday with 12 points (4-of-7 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, two triples and seven turnovers against the Cavaliers.

    Advice: Suggs and Paolo Banchero struggled to take care of the ball in the first half and entered the break with a combined nine turnovers, with Suggs accounting for five of them. They cleaned things up in the second half, which helped them outscore the Cavs 61-29 over the final two quarters. Suggs had a big performance in Game 3, and while he wasn’t able to replicate that in Game 4, he was able to turn in a solid stat line, despite a rough first half. If they can take care of the ball in Game 5 on Tuesday, they may be able to steal one on the road. Rotoworld Today, 1:23 pm
     
  • Will be questionable for Game 4
    Leonard (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Mavericks, head coach Tyronn Lue told Joey Linn of SI.com.

    Advice: Leonard logged 25 minutes in Friday's Game 3 loss, finishing with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists, but he didn't look as fluid in his movements as he did in Game 2, where he was able to play 35 minutes while pouring 15 points, seven rebounds and four steals. His official status will be determined closer to Sunday's 3.30 p.m. ET tipoff, but if he's ruled out, then Terance Mann and Amir Coffey would be in line to pick up extra minutes.

  • Luke Kornet (calf) cleared to play in Game 3
    Luke Kornet (left calf strain) will be available to play in Game 3 against Miami on Saturday.

    Advice: Kornet is back after missing Games 1 and 2 with this calf injury, but it is unlikely that he sees the floor if this game remains close. He is a solid depth piece, but Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford will fill the center minutes. Rotoworld Today, 1:16 pm
     
  • Jonathan Isaac chips in 14/7/1/1/2 line off bench
    Jonathan Isaac provided a boost off the bench on Saturday with 14 points (5-of-7 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and four triples in Game 4 against Cleveland.

    Advice: After starting the first two games of this series, Isaac came off the bench for the last two. He had a decent performance in Game 3, but he provided an excellent boost off the bench in this one. Isaac’s defense has been critical through the series, but he was also able to make an impact with from beyond the arc in this one. They won their two home games with Isaac coming off the bench, and the offense was significantly better. Isaac will continue to play an important reserve role in Game 5 on Tuesday.

  • Available to play Saturday
    Kornet (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat.

    Advice: The availability of Kornet means the Celtics will be at full strength for Game 3 of the series against the Heat. Kornet should see minutes off the bench, though he's likely to have a very limited role with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available. Rotowire.com Today, 1:12 pm
     
  • Franz Wagner drops 34/13/4 in Game 4 win over Cavs
    Franz Wagner led the Magic with 34 points (13-of-17 FGs), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and two triples in a 112-89 win over Cleveland in Game 4 on Saturday.

    Advice: Wagner took over in the third quarter, scoring 12 points in the period as Orlando outscored the Cavs 37-10. The Magic trailed by nine points at halftime, but they won by 23 because of elite defense and Wagner’s offense. He has been solid in this series, but Wagner played like a true star in this one, which was needed with Paolo Banchero (9 points) struggling. They tied the series up with two convincing wins, and they’ll need to bring some of this offense with them to Cleveland for Game 5 if they want to take a lead in this series. After averaging 84.5 points in the first two games of this series, they have averaged 116.5 over the last two. Rotoworld Today, 1:04 pm
     
  • Evan Mobley turns in 14/9/3/2/2 line in Game 4
    Evan Mobley posted a full line with 14 points (6-of-13 FGs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks against the Magic on Saturday.

    Advice: Mobley scored 12 of his 14 points before halftime, and he was able to turn in a complete line in the Game 4 loss. This was a solid performance in the box score for him, but the second half was a disappointment for the team. Mobley didn’t do much in 22 minutes in the blowout loss in Game 3, but he was more effective in this game. With the series tied 2-2, they’ll need another performance like this out of Mobley in order to secure the Game 5 win at home on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 12:56 pm
     
  • Jarrett Allen leads Cavs with 21/9 line in loss
    Jarrett Allen led Cleveland with 21 points (8-of-11 FGs), nine rebounds and one steal in a 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 on Saturday.

    Advice: Like everyone on Cleveland, most of Allen’s production came in the first half, and he only added five points after the break. The team only had 29 points after halftime, with some of that coming in garbage time. The Cavs couldn’t get anything going in the second half, but Allen was still able to have some success, which has been the case for most of this series. Allen’s numbers were better in their home games, and the series will shift back to Cleveland for Game 5. Allen will need to control the glass if they want to avoid going down 3-2 in this series.

  • Donovan Mitchell held scoreless in second half
    Donovan Mitchell struggled in the second half but still finished with 18 points (5-of-14 FGs), one rebound, six assists, three steals, one triple and six turnovers against Orlando in Game 4 on Saturday.

    Advice: Things were going well for the Cavs in the first half. They led by nine points at halftime and scored 37 points in the second quarter. Mitchell entered the break with 18. However, the proceeded to score 20 points over the next 18 minutes and only 29 total in the second half, with Mitchell unable to add in any more buckets. Orlando took over the second half to tie the series 2-2, with Game 5 coming on Tuesday in Cleveland. Mitchell will have to shake off this second half and get back on track to get back in the win column. Rotoworld Today, 12:33 pm
