    • Donte DiVincenzo tallies 17 points, full stat line
      Donte DiVincenzo played 39 minutes in Friday’s 116-103 loss to the Pacers, tallying 17 points (6-of-14 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block, and three 3-pointers.

      Advice: DiVincenzo has cooled off considerably since scoring 25 points or more in the series’ first three games. While he hit double figures in Game 6, the Big Ragu has gone 13-of-41 from the field in Games 4 through 6. With Jalen Brunson receiving constant defensive attention from the Pacers, the Knicks need more from DiVincenzo in Game 7 on Sunday afternoon. The same can be said for reserve Alec Burks, who shot 2-of-8 from the field on Friday, especially if Josh Hart (abdomen) is limited or cannot play. Burks finished Game 6 with 11 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one 3-pointer in 25 minutes. Rotoworld Today, 8:36 pm
       
    • Leaves game early
      Hart left Friday's Game 6 against the Pacers early with abdominal soreness and wasn't able to return. He finished with five points, eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 31 minutes.

      Advice: Hart has been powering through a variety of issues in the playoffs, but the Knicks likely erred on the side of caution Friday due to the lopsided score. Presumably, Hart will be ready for Game 7 on Sunday, but there should be more clarity on Saturday when the Knicks practice. Rotowire.com Today, 7:59 pm
       
    • Josh Hart (abdominals) will not return Friday
      Josh Hart (abdominal soreness) will not return to Friday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Hart took a hit to the midsection during the first half of Game 6 and was never right after that. While he did his best to fight through the pain, the explosiveness was gone on both ends of the floor. With the Knicks on the wrong end of a blowout, the decision was made to give Hart a head start on treatment ahead of Sunday’s Game 7. New York already has a limited rotation, so not having him for the deciding game would be nearly catastrophic. Rotoworld Today, 7:48 pm
       
    • Scores 27 in big win Thursday
      Edwards notched 27 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-70 victory over Denver in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Edwards bounced back from an ugly outing in Game 5 and led Minnesota in scoring in this pivotal matchup, as he looked far more aggressive than during his previous appearance. Edwards deserves credit for his constant off-the-ball movement as well, as his movements on the perimeter, coupled with the return of Mike Conley from a one-game absence, made things very difficult for Denver on defense. This was Edwards' fourth game with at least 25 points in the series, and he's expected to operate as Minnesota's primary offensive weapon in Sunday's do-or-die Game 7 at Ball Arena.

    • Excels in Game 6 victory
      McDaniels notched 21 points (8-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 115-70 victory over Denver in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: McDaniels is not known for his scoring ability and often gets recognition for his defensive work. Still, he stood out when it mattered the most in this series and finished as Minnesota's second-highest scorer. McDaniels is not expected to hover around the 20-point mark regularly going forward, but this was an excellent showing in a game during which his team needed him to step up. In fact, this was McDaniels' second-best scoring output in the current playoff run, as he scored 25 points in the Game 2 win over the Suns in the first round. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:02 pm
       
    • Jaden McDaniels scores 21 points in Game 6
      Jaden McDaniels racked up 21 points (8-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) to go along with four rebounds, an assist, a steal, two blocks, and three made 3-pointers in 31 minutes.

      Advice: McDaniels has been fairly quiet offensively since the first round but topped 20 points for the second time this postseason on Thursday while trailing only Aaron Gordon in blocks. The Timberwolves wing affected his team’s offense and defense and offense significantly in a must-win contest. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:31 pm
       
    • Anthony Edwards scores game-high 27 points
      Anthony Edwards erupted for 27 points (8-of-17 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs) to go along with four rebounds, five assists, a block, and four made 3-pointers in 31 minutes.

      Advice: Edwards bounced back from his lackluster Game 5 performance and eclipsed 25 points for the third time in the series. The Timberwolves star also led all players in free throw attempts and steals in a well-rounded performance. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:26 pm
       
    • Moves to bench
      Alexander-Walker will move to the bench for Thursday's Game 6 versus Denver.

      Advice: This is an expected move with Mike Conley back from his injury. Alexander-Walker fared well in his spot start in Game 5, producing 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 39 minutes. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:04 pm
       
    • OG Anunoby (hamstring) out Friday vs. Pacers
      OG Anunoby (left hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Friday’s Game 6 matchup between the Knicks and Pacers.

      Advice: Anonoby is set to miss his forth consecutive game. The Knicks will likely start Precious Achiuwa or Miles McBride in his place. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:23 pm
