    • Vintage performance Tuesday
      Conley ended Tuesday's 105-93 win over the Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes.

      Advice: Conley assumed more responsibility on the offensive end of the floor, tallying 18 points in 32 minutes. Despite not always putting up noteworthy production, Conley is a vital piece for the Timberwolves. He provides them with leadership both on and off the court, as well as a cool head when the going gets tough. Minnesota will look to take a stranglehold on the series when they line up for Game 3 Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:53 pm
       
    • Mike Conley hits three triples, scores 18 points
      Mike Conley shot 7-of-13 from the field and 1-of-1 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 105-93 win over Phoenix, amassing 18 points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring four points on 2-of-12 shooting in the Timberwolves’ Game 1 victory, Conley was significantly better in Game 2. He shot over 50% from the field and was one of three Timberwolves to score at least 18 points, helping pick up the slack on a night when Anthony Edwards wasn’t at his best. While Ant-Man recorded a full stat line (15/5/8/3/1 with two 3-pointers), he shot 3-of-12 from the field (1-of-6 from two) and 7-of-8 from the foul line. Minnesota successfully managed the first two games of the series with inconsistent production from its starting guards, but they’ll need to be at their best in Game 3 on Friday.

    • Records double-double in 39 minutes
      Embiid totaled 34 points (12-29 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one block over 39 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

      Advice: Despite laboring up and down the court at times, Embiid showed no ill effects of his lingering knee injury and logged a full workload in the loss, but his prolific line wasn't enough to turn the tide. Embiid and Tyrese Maxey got no help from their teammates as the rest of the roster ended with fewer points than Embiid alone. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:31 am
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) posts 34/10/6/0/1 stat line
      Joel Embiid (left knee soreness) played 39 minutes in Monday’s 104-101 loss to the Knicks, tallying 34 points (12-of-29 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block, and two 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: Embiid recorded a gaudy stat line in Game 2, but the reigning MVP is limited in his movements. While he did score 18 of his 34 points in the second half, he did not grab a single rebound. The two days off before Game 3 in Philadelphia are much-needed for Embiid, who deserves high praise for gutting through a knee that is nowhere near full strength. He should appear on the injury report ahead of Game 3, even though Embiid will be expected to play. Rotoworld Monday, 7:58 pm
       
    • Isaiah Hartenstein rejects three shots in Game 2
      Isaiah Hartenstein played 30 minutes in Monday’s win over the 76ers, accounting for 14 points (7-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, and three blocked shots.

      Advice: After playing 18 minutes in Game 1, Hartenstein was more involved on both ends of the floor in Game 2. He shot 7-of-8 from the field, and one of his three blocked shots was a Tyrese Maxey layup attempt that preserved the Knicks’ lead in the final seconds. Two OG Anunoby free throws and a Joel Embiid missed three later, and New York had a 2-0 series lead after holding serve at home. Mitchell Robinson (four rebounds, one assist in 18 minutes) had the “hot hand” in Game 1, and the minutes reflected that. On Monday, it was Hartenstein’s time to shine. Game 3 is on Thursday in Philadelphia. Rotoworld Monday, 7:53 pm
       
    • Owns boards in 20-rebound game
      Allen finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 FT), 20 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 39 minutes in Cleveland's 96-86 win over Orlando in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

      Advice: Allen did it all to help Cleveland take a commanding 2-0 series lead, leading all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while pacing the Cavaliers in blocks to go along with a pair of steals in a double-double performance. Allen has owned the glass over the first two games of the opening-round series, recording at least 18 rebounds and a double-double in both contests. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:59 pm
       
    • Jarrett Allen grabs 20 rebounds in Game 2 victory
      Jarrett Allen accumulated 16 points (6-of-10 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), 20 rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocked shots in 39 minutes in Monday’s Game 2 win over Orlando.

      Advice: While the Magic like having Jonathan Isaac in the starting lineup to match up with Evan Mobley, the tradeoff in the series’ first two games was Allen looking like a Hall-of-Fame-caliber center. After grabbing 18 rebounds in Game 1, he corralled 20 more in Game 2 to help lead Cleveland to a 2-0 series lead. Orlando isn’t going to bench Paolo Banchero or Franz Wagner to account for Allen, which may put Isaac under the microscope ahead of Thursday’s Game 3. Mobley added 17 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes. Rotoworld Monday, 6:52 pm
       
    • Officially active Monday
      Embiid (left knee injury recovery) has been cleared to play in Monday's Game 2 against the Knicks, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

      Advice: Embiid and Tyrese Maxey (illness) will suit up Monday, although coach Nick Nurse noted that Maxey will operate at less than 100 percent while still dealing with symptoms. Embiid logged 37 minutes of action despite briefly exiting Saturday's contest before halftime, so he'll likely be leaned on even if gimpy. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:03 pm
       
    • Joel Embiid (knee) cleared to play in Game 2
      Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) will play in Game 2 against New York on Monday.

      Advice: Unsurprisingly, Embiid will suit up for Game 2 after logging 37 minutes in Game 1. He will continue to manage this knee issue, but it shouldn’t keep him out of the lineup, especially during the playoffs. He’ll look to have a big night to help the 76ers potentially tie the series 1-1 before they head to Philadelphia. Rotoworld Monday, 4:00 pm
