    • Surpasses 30 points in Game 2 loss
      Brown finished with 33 points (13-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Miami in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.

      Advice: Brown led all players in Wednesday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-high mark from three and hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a well-rounded performance in a losing effort. Brown bounced back well after posting a modest 17 points in Sunday's Game 1 win. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:55 pm
       
    • Jaylen Brown leads Celtics with 33 points in loss
      Jaylen Brown scored 33 points (13-of-23 FGs) in the Celtics’ loss to the Heat on Wednesday. He shot 3-of-6 from the foul line with eight rebounds, an assist, a steal, a block, and four made 3-pointers.

      Advice: Brown got especially hot toward the end of the first half and topped Jayson Tatum in points while matching him in rebounds. His successful scoring night wasn’t enough to counteract Miami’s shot-making, though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:50 pm
       
    • Probable for Thursday
      Davis (back) is probable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Davis played through the back issue during Game 2 and logged 39 minutes on his way to a 32-point, 11-rebound double-double, so it clearly didn't impact him all that much. We should get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:17 pm
       
    • Erupts for team-high 25 points
      McDaniels ended Tuesday's 105-93 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 25 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 41 minutes.

      Advice: McDaniels shone in the victory, leading all scorers with 25 points. Known for his defensive abilities, it was on the offensive end that he did his damage. He was part of a balanced effort by the Timberwolves, taking down the Suns to establish a 2-0 series lead. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:51 pm
       
    • Passive performance Tuesday
      Beal posted 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 105-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Beal was relatively quiet in the loss, much like his teammates. Despite keeping it close, Phoenix was simply overwhelmed by the Timberwolves, both inside and outside the paint. Now trailing 2-0 in the series, the Suns will look to get back on track Friday when they host Game 3. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:48 pm
       
    • Jaden McDaniels shines in Game 2, scores 25 points
      Jaden McDaniels played 41 minutes in Tuesday’s 105-93 win over Phoenix, accounting for 25 points (10-of-17 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: Largely an afterthought on the offensive end of the floor in Game 1, McDaniels was Minnesota’s brightest star in Game 3. He scored a game-high 25 points while shooting well over 50% from the field, and five of his eight rebounds were of the offensive variety. Add in his usual defensive play, which frustrated Devin Booker occasionally, and this was McDaniels’ most impactful postseason performance. The series, which Minnesota leads 2-0, shifts to Phoenix for Game 3 on Friday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:22 pm
       
    • Named Most Improved Player
      Maxey was named the 2023-24 Most Improved Player on Tuesday.

      Advice: Maxey enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2023-24 after taking over the lead ball-handler role due to the departure of James Harden from Philadelphia. Maxey was able to improve his season averages of 20.3 points, 3.5 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 33.6 minutes from 2022-23 to 25.9 points, 6.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 37.5 minutes in 2023-24. While the 23-year-old's shooting splits decreased from 48.1/43.4/84.5 to 45.0/37.3/86.8, his jump as a playmaker and volume scorer helped him form one of the NBA's most dynamic duos alongside Joel Embiid.

    • Tyrese Maxey wins Most Improved Player award
      Tyrese Maxey was named the winner of the George Mikan Trophy, emblematic of the NBA’s Most Improved Player.

      Advice: There is no surprise here, as Maxey jumped from a solid supplementary option to a bonafide star in his fourth NBA season. Earning his first All-Star Game appearance, the 76ers guard averaged 25.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 3.0 3-pointers per game, shooting 45.0% from the field, 37.3% from three, and 86.8% from the foul line. Maxey is the second 76ers player to win the award, joining Dana Barros (1994-95). Chicago’s Coby White finished second in the voting, with Houston’s Alperen Sengun coming in third.

    • Leads Lakers in Game 2 defeat
      Davis ended Monday's 101-99 loss to the Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 32 points (14-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes.

      Advice: Davis has led the Lakers in scoring in each of the first two games of the series, but despite producing back-to-back 30-plus point efforts in the matchup against Nikola Jokic, the Lakers have fallen short of victory both times. Davis will likely land on the injury report ahead of Game 3, but given the situation and the workload he's handled in the first two games of the series, the star big man shouldn't have problems being active for Game 3 on Thursday.
