    • Fails to score Saturday
      Ryan amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over three minutes during Saturday's 106-85 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Ryan failed to score in his three minutes, adding to what was a terrible night for New Orleans. Playing in front of their home fans, the Pelicans offered little resistance. Now on the brink of elimination, New Orleans will look to turn things around Monday in the hope of sending the series back to Oklahoma City. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:22 pm
       
    • Stephen Curry wins Clutch Player of the Year award
      Stephen Curry won the Kia NBA Clutch Player of the Year award on Thursday.

      Advice: Curry beat out DeMar DeRozan and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, receiving 45 first-place votes to DeRozan’s 34. Those two were separated by 26 total points, with SGA coming in third with 160 points (11 first-place votes). Curry led the NBA in crunch time points (189), made field goals (59), and made 3-pointers (32). “Crunch time” is defined as the final five minutes of a game within five points. Rounding out the top five were Nikola Jokic and Jalen Brunson. Rotoworld Thursday, 4:19 pm
       
    • Won't play Thursday
      Jerome (ankle) remains out Thursday for Game 3 of the Cavaliers' first-round playoff series versus the Magic.

      Advice: Jerome is still recovering from ankle surgery and hasn't played since Oct. 27. Even if he's cleared to suit up during the postseason, he's unlikely to crack the rotation. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:43 pm

    • Used sparingly in win
      Exum finished with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across six minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 victory over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Exum saw just six minutes off the bench despite an ankle injury to Tim Hardaway. The Mavericks opted to go with size over speed, resulting in an important victory. With so much flexibility across their roster, Exum's role could fluctuate significantly moving forward. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:16 am

    • Hits go-ahead three-pointer for win
      DiVincenzo totaled 19 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: The Knicks mounted a late rally to get within striking distance and DiVincenzo sealed the win, thanks to a last-second miss from Joel Embiid. The efficient wingman failed to meet expectations in Game 1, but he shot 50 percent from the floor Monday night to help give the Knicks a 2-0 series lead. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:59 am
       
    • Donte DiVincenzo hits game-winner, scores 19 PTS
      Donte DiVincenzo played 37 minutes in Monday’s 104-101 win over Philadelphia, tallying 19 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four 3-pointers.

      Advice: While former college roommate Jalen Brunson struggled with his shot most of the night, DiVincenzo performed better than in Game 1 on Saturday. He also made the biggest shot of Game 2, as his 3-pointer with 13.1 seconds remaining gave the Knicks the lead for good. Unlike Game 1, when Miles McBride replaced him in the lineup in crunch time, DiVincenzo was on the court on Monday and came up big for the Knicks. McBride played 21 minutes off the bench, accounting for nine points, one rebound, two assists, and one steal. Game 3 is on Thursday night in Philadelphia. Rotoworld Monday, 7:29 pm
       
    • Remains out
      Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Game 2 of the opening-round series against the Magic on Monday.

      Advice: Jerome hasn't played since Oct. 27 and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle in late January. He doesn't have a return timetable. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:49 pm

    • Not listed on injury report
      Exum (foot) is not on the official injury report and will be available for Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Clippers on Sunday.

      Advice: Exum didn't play in the Mavericks' final game of the regular season since the training staff wanted him to rest a lingering foot injury before the playoffs. He shouldn't have any limitations for the series opener against the Clippers on Sunday and should see his regular minutes off the bench. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:53 pm

    • Unavailable for Saturday's game
      Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.

      Advice: Jerome has not played since Oct. 27, and it seems unlikely that he'll be able to return during the playoffs. The 26-year-old underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle in late January, and there is still no timetable for his return. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:02 pm
